A little while ago, Blizzard revealed the partner teams for the 2025 Overwatch Champions Series, with that including a bunch of organisations tied to each respective region. For the EMEA, this included Gen.G Esports, Twisted Minds, and Virtus.pro, meaning we knew that these three would appear in the respective tournaments this season regardless of qualifying events.

Now that we're staring down the barrel of Stage 1, which for the EMEA region will kick off on January 31 and run until March 9, we also now know the remaining five teams that have qualified and will be battling it out for an invite to the international Champions Clash event and a slice of the $100,000 prize pool.

The full list of EMEA Stage 1 teams are as follows:


  • Gen. G Esports

  • Twisted Minds

  • Virtus.pro

  • The Ultimates

  • Sakura Esports

  • Team Peps

  • Al Qadsiah

  • Team Vision
