Twisted Minds crowned 2025 Overwatch Championship Series World Finals champions..

Saudi Arabian esports team Twisted Minds (TM) defeated fellow rivals Al-Qadsiah to win the 2025 Overwatch Championship Series (OWCS) World Finals on Monday.

TM had long been considered one of the favorites to win this year's World Finals, having won the EMEA Stage 3.

TM faced a tough challenge in the 2025 Overwatch Championship Series (OWCS) World Finals, which featured 12 top-tier teams.

One of the teams that would determine their success in the tournament was state-owned Saudi Arabian team, Team Falcons.

Another formidable opponent was the Korean-Japanese team Crazy Racoons (CR).

Despite their relatively short history, CR, initially formed from several free agents, won the Overwatch Champions Clash this year, continuing their momentum from last year's Esports World Cup victory. 

However, despite facing such a formidable challenge, TM showed no signs of intimidation, displaying their dominance from the very beginning of the tournament.

They first defeated the Korean powerhouse team T1 3-2 in the Upper Bracket quarterfinals, and then easily swept Team Falcons 3-0.

It's worth mentioning that TM's loss to Al-Qadsiah in the Upper Bracket finals was a major surprise, but they redeemed themselves in the subsequent playoffs by defeating CR and then sweeping Al-Qadsiah 1-4.

Ultimately, after a grueling five-match battle, TM secured their first-ever Overwatch tournament major championship.

Here are the results and breakdown of the match between Al-Qadsiah and Twisted Minds (TM) at the 2025 Overwatch Championship Series (OWCS) World Finals:

Game 1: TM 2-0 QAD, Nepal – Control

Game 2: TM 2-1 QAD, Kind's Row – Hybrid
