OWCS World Finals 2025 Unveils Crowdfunding Bundle and Big Viewership Rewards

The Overwatch Champions Series is gearing up for its biggest moment of the year, with Blizzard revealing new details for the 2025 OWCS World Finals at DreamHack Stockholm. Fans can look forward to a packed five day schedule, exclusive in-game drops, and a brand new Scarlet Flare crowdfunding bundle that boosts the event’s prize pool.

Below is everything you need to know before the World Finals kick off on November 26.

The Road to Stockholm

The OWCS World Finals closes out an action-filled 2025 season, bringing together the 12 best teams from Asia, China, EMEA, and North America. All teams earned their place through OWCS Stage 3, including favourites like Team Falcons, Crazy Raccoon, and Team Liquid.

This year’s tournament expands to five days of competition, running from Wednesday, November 26 to Sunday, November 30. The first two days will feature early bracket matches broadcast live from the Stockholm studio, before the action moves to the DreamHack main stage from November 28.

Games begin at 12pm CET on the first three days, and 11am CET on November 29 and 30. Fans can watch live on Twitch or YouTube, or join in person at DreamHack Stockholm with festival doors opening each morning at 10am CET.

A Closer Look at the Tournament Format

The World Finals will follow a 12 team double-elimination bracket, giving teams two chances to stay alive. Every roster will take the stage in front of a live crowd from November 28 onwards, making for some of the most hyped Overwatch esports moments of the year.

DreamHack visitors can secure prime seating, merch, and OWCS Add-Ons that come with guaranteed seats and bonus digital rewards. Anyone without an Add-On can still watch, although seating will be first come, first served.

Blizzard has also teased special announcements, live performances, and even a BlizzCon 2026 ticket giveaway happening throughout the weekend.

Crowdfunding the Prize Pool with the Scarlet Flare Bundle

One of the biggest announcements is the Scarlet Flare OWCS Crowdfunding Mega Bundle, a new cosmetic set that pushes part of its earnings directly into the World Finals prize pool.

The bundle costs 4,500 Overwatch Coins and includes:

  • Scarlet Flare Freja skin, icon, and name card
  • Scarlet Angel Mercy skin, icon, and name card
  • Scarlet Ember Juno skin, icon, and name card
  • Three OWCS Trophy victory poses
  • Scarlet Flare and Scarlet Bell weapon charms

Blizzard confirmed that 25% of net sales will go towards the prize pool, with the final amount revealed once the bundle leaves the shop on December 9. The Scarlet Flare skins take inspiration from OWCS champions Team Falcons and Crazy Raccoon, celebrating Asia’s dominance across the 2025 season.

Last year’s Neon Streets Bundle, tied to the Florida Mayhem, helped support the 2024 World Finals prize pool. Blizzard is clearly continuing the trend of blending esports support with high quality cosmetics.

Every Viewership Reward You Can Unlock

Overwatch fans tuning into the World Finals can earn an extensive list of in-game drops simply by watching on Twitch or YouTube. Rewards are also available through featured co-streams from casters like Connor Avast Prince and Xavier CommanderX Hardy, or any stream in the Overwatch 2 category.

Each day of the World Finals highlights a different hero:

  • 26 November Brigitte
  • 27 November Torbjörn
  • 28 November Ana
  • 29 November Hazard
  • 30 November Wuyang
