‘Surreal feeling’: Zeta Division claim OWCS Midseason Championship at Esports World Cup 2026

DUBAI: Japan’s Zeta Division have won the Overwatch Champions Series Midseason Championship at the Esports World Cup 2026, taking down Saudi Arabia’s Twisted Minds 4-2 in a highly contested best-of-seven.

The win marks the first time the Japanese club have won a major international OWCS tournament. But for one of its members, Kim “Proper” Dong-hyun, it is his second EWC victory.

Proper’s second Overwatch trophy at the EWC follows his first-place finish with Team Falcons last year, which also saw him named MVP of the tournament.

After swapping teams during the off season, Proper is now one of the most decorated players in this era of Overwatch, helping to usher Zeta Division into their first major international trophy.
