Blizzard Entertainment will host the 2026 Overwatch Champions Series (OWCS) Asia Finals at the BEXCO Auditorium in Busan from November 20 to 22. Teams from across the Asia region will compete for a prize pool of $40,000 USD and four qualification spots for the OWCS World Finals.
This tournament serves as the grand finals of OWCS Asia Stage 3, taking place alongside G-STAR 2026. The winning team will take home $25,000, and the Asian representative teams for the World Finals in Guangzhou this December will also be determined. Blizzard and official Overwatch Esports Asia partner WDG are co-hosting the event in collaboration with the G-STAR Organizing Committee.
The six teams advancing to the Busan stage will be decided through an online stage running from November 11 to 13. A total of eight teams are competing: four from Korea (T1, ZETA DIVISION, Crazy Raccoon, and Team Falcons), three from Japan (VARREL, ENTER FORCE.36, and MURASH GAMING), and one from Pacific (The Gatos Guapos). Split into two groups of four, the teams will play a best-of-five round-robin format, with the top three teams from each group advancing to the Asia Finals.
Among the competitors, T1 secured their first-ever OWCS Korea title in the OWCS Korea Playoffs and will participate alongside playing coach Fleta. 2026 OWCS Champions Clash winners Crazy Raccoon and OWCS Midseason Championship winners ZETA DIVISION will also be in attendance.
The Asia Finals begin on November 20 with two Round 1 matches and a seeding match between the top teams from each group. On November 21, the 5th-6th place match and two semifinal matches will take place. On November 22, following an event match—the G-STAR Cup Overwatch Student Tournament Final—the final standings will be determined through the 3rd-4th place match and the Grand Final.
Matches on November 20 and 21 will feature a best-of-five format, while the 3rd-4th place match and Grand Final on November 22 will shift to a best-of-seven format. Broadcasts will begin at 3:30 PM KST on all three days, with the first match starting at 4:00 PM KST. Korean broadcasts for both the online stage and the Asia Finals can be watched on the official SOOP OWCS Korea channel.
On-site attendees will be able to take part in player meet-and-greets. Online viewers can earn in-game rewards, including a Sombra skin, via Drops. Detailed tournament schedules and event programs are available on the official OWCS Asia Finals website.
