The Overwatch Champions Series Midseason Championship 2026 has kicked off at the Esports World Cup 2026. Over the course of five days, 16 teams will compete for the lion's share of the $1,000,000 prize pool. On the first day of the competition, Team Falcons confidently defeated Dallas Fuel with a score of 2:0.
After the victorious match, Team Falcons player Ham "SOMEONE" Jeong-wan shared his thoughts on the team's current state. Despite their status as last year's OWCS Midseason Championship winners, he humbly admitted that this season has been difficult. Due to problems during the first and second stages of the season, the squad is approaching the tournament more as challengers rather than undisputed favorites, and plans to move toward defending their title step by step.
At the same time, SOMEONE noted that during their preparation for the EWC, the team managed to solve many of their previous problems. He expressed confidence that, provided they maintain their current level of play, Team Falcons will deliver a good result.
The next challenge for the team will be the upper bracket semifinal against Weibo Gaming, which will take place on July 31. The day before, the Chinese squad secured a victory over Team Liquid with a score of 2:1.
Assessing the upcoming opponent, SOMEONE cast aside his previous humility and expressed absolute confidence in their abilities: the player reminded everyone that Team Falcons have never lost to Weibo at EWC tournaments, and the team is determined to continue this winning streak.
