Twisted Minds defeated T1 last time out, in February; however, they enter this match as underdogs. That is mainly due to Twisted Minds’ poor performances in Stage 2, when they failed to reach the expected heights and had to settle for a third-place finish in the EMEA league.
Despite the slip-up in Stage 2, Twisted Minds remain one of the world’s most successful Overwatch teams, and a squad with a very high ceiling. While it is unclear whether Twisted Minds will reach their full power, the potential is there, making the EMEA squad dangerous underdogs.
- Twisted Minds disappointed in Stage 2
- T1 enter the match as favourites
- An upset is not unlikely

T1 With High Expectations
T1 head to France for the Overwatch Champions Series 2026 Midseason Championship as one of the strongest teams in attendance, having proven their worth with a third-place finish in Korea Stage 2.
In Stage 2, T1 have managed to keep up the pace with ZETA DIVISION and Crazy Raccoon before ultimately losing out to the two Korean titans in the playoffs.
T1 are not quite as dominant as either ZETA DIVISION or Crazy Raccoon, but they’re a tier below, which still ranks them as one of the better teams in the world. Now they have a chance to prove their strength against international opponents.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 12 | OWCS Korea Stage 2 | ZSG | 4-1 (W) |
| July 11 | OWCS Korea Stage 2 | ZETA DIVISION | 1-4 (L) |
| July 5 | OWCS Korea Stage 2 | Team Falcons | 3-0 (W) |
| July 4 | OWCS Korea Stage 2 | Crazy Raccoon | 1-3 (L) |
| July 3 | OWCS Korea Stage 2 | ZETA DIVISION | 3-0 (W) |

Twisted Minds Are in Shaky Form
Twisted Minds were one of the most dominant teams of the early season, having won ESL Saudi Challenge, Pre-Season Bootcamp, and EMEA Stage 1. They also did not disappoint at the Champions Clash, where Twisted Minds placed second after a closely-fought 3-4 loss in the grand finals to Crazy Raccoon.
Stage 2, however, wasn’t as successful, as Twisted Minds placed third in EMEA Stage 2, which was well below expectations, and it put a big question mark above the EMEA squad and their chances of making a run.
While Twisted Minds’ form hasn’t been the best, their ceiling remains high, and if Twisted Minds can find some traction in the current meta, they can challenge any team at the Overwatch Champions Series 2026 Midseason Championship.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 5 | OWCS EMEA Stage 2 | Geekay Esports | 2-3 (L) |
| July 4 | OWCS EMEA Stage 2 | Al Qadsiah | 3-0 (W) |
| July 3 | OWCS EMEA Stage 2 | Geekay Esports | 2-3 (L) |
| June 28 | OWCS EMEA Stage 2 | Al Qadsiah | 3-2 (W) |

Verdict
T1 have shown stronger form in Stage 2, and they hail from a stronger region. However, Twisted Minds have shown much higher highs this season, and while their performances in Stage 2 have left a lot to be desired, TM have now had plenty of time to work on their problems.
There remains a question of whether Twisted Minds will adjust to the current meta fast enough. However, they’ve shown enough flexibility before to confidently expect a stronger performance at the Esports World Cup from the Saudi squad.
