The eight teams taking part in the upcoming Overwatch Champions Series 2024 Finals (OWCS) have been confirmed.

This will take place at the Stockholmsmässan during DreamHack Stockholm from November 22nd to 24th 2024.

The competing teams will be Spacestation Gaming, Ence and Twisted Minds from EMEA, Team Falcons and Crazy Raccoon from Asia, and Toronto Defiant, NTMR and NRG Shock from North America.

There are four UK players taking part – two on Spacestation Gaming (Backbone and FunnyAstro), and two on Ence (Kai and WMaimone).

There’s also a UK caster involved – Jaws – who is joining Mr X, Nekkra and Uber, alongside hosts Goldenboy and Soe, plus analysts Danny Lim, JAKE and Reinforce.

Matches will be played on Overwatch 2’s October 29th patch.

Spacestation Gaming reach the finals after winning EMEA Stage 4, while Ence and Twisted Minds finished second and third respectively.

Ence also won EMEA Stage 3, while Spacestation took Stage 2 and Twisted Minds Stage 1.

Overwatch caster and Esports News UK freelancer Jace (who recently wrote an article on Epic.LAN 43) said: “I think it could be this a major event for Overwatch in Europe as a whole

“The teams coming from EU are Twisted Minds, an all-Saudi team lead by quartzz, an amazing hitscan.

“Ence have Kai and Kevster as their dps line from the Gladiators, and SSG are the former London Spitfire roster with FunnyAstro.

“Going into the tournament, basically this meta is so good for the Koreans, so I think the Western teams will struggle.”
