Featuring Overwatch esports teams from four regions, the OWCS Champions Clash 2025 will be the first proper test for the squads on the international stage, where they’ll vie for the lion’s share of the crowdfunded prize pool and the prestige of hoisting the trophy.
Set to run between April 18-20, the OWCS Champions Clash 2025 will offer three days of exciting esports action and plenty of betting opportunities to explore with the top betting sites, including Stake, where you can claim a welcome bonus with Stake promo code NEWBONUS.
OWCS Champions Clash 2025 Format
OWCS Champions Clash 2025 will play out over three days, with all eight Overwatch esports teams seeded into a double-elimination bracket.
The upper bracket quarterfinal games will be first-to-2 (Ft2), and all other games will be first-to-3 (Ft3) – except for the grand final, which is first-to-4 (Ft4).
OWCS Champions Clash 2025 will also be the first Overwatch tournament to introduce Hero Bans.
Each team will ban one hero per map, with the ban affecting both teams. Moreover, each ban has to be from a different role than the other team’s ban.
The hero ban can happen only once per series, but may be a repeated ban from the opposing team. The higher-seeded team will start with bans, while the team that loses the previous map will ban first on the next map.
The list of participating teams includes two squads from each of the four regions – North America, Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, China, and Asia.
- North America: NTMR, Spacestation Gaming
- EMEA: Virtus.pro, Al Qadsiah
- China: Once Again, Team CC
- Asia: Team Falcons, Crazy Raccoon

The OWCS Champions Clash 2025 betting odds are available on the top betting sites, including some of the most prominent crypto bookmakers.
According to the current offer, the battle for the OWCS Champions Clash 2025 trophy will come down to two teams – Team Falcons and Crazy Raccoon.
The gap between the two Asian representatives and the rest is perceived to be significant, with the two teams priced at around even money and everyone else at double digits.
Despite entering OWCS Champions Clash 2025 as Asia’s second seed, Crazy Raccoon (1.90) are billed as the main favourites to win the tournament, ahead of Team Falcons (2.20).
Even though the Falcons defeated Crazy Raccoon in the OWCS Asia Stage 1 finals, there are reasons to believe that Crazy Raccoon are the more likely team to come out ahead if the two squads meet again.
Both hailing from Korea, Crazy Raccoon and Team Falcons have met five times this season, and Crazy Raccoon won two of the last three meetings, both with a 4-0 sweep. Meanwhile, Team Falcons won the two games with 3-2 and 4-2.
As suggested by the betting odds, the gap between the two Asian representatives is not that significant, but the scales tip slightly towards Crazy Raccoon. This is partially because they’ve not struggled against any other team, and the Falcons.
Sitting behind the leading two favourites as the third-most likely team to win OWCS Champions Clash 2025 are China’s Once Again, priced at 13.00.
Once Again were by far the most dominant team in the Chinese league, having ended Stage 1 with a perfect 5-0 record and an equally as impressive 16-3 map record.
Consisting of some of the top talent from China, including four members of the Chinese national team, which placed second at the Overwatch World Cup 2024, Once Again could shake up the balance of power on home turf.
While Once Again have yet to feature in OWCS before, the Chinese super team should not be overlooked.
EMEA’s Virtus.pro (15.00) deserve a mention too as the most dominant team from their region. VP won EMEA Stage 1 without dropping a map (10-0) and with an incredible 31-7 map record.
While they’re not getting as much respect as Asian teams due to the perceived strength of EMEA compared to eastern leagues, VP have shown enough to believe they can make a splash.
