The ES TIMES — Crazy Raccoon claimed the OWCS Champions Clash 2025 title, securing their place in the Midseason Championship and achieving long-awaited revenge.

The tournament, held at the Hangzhou Esports Center, brought together some of the strongest teams in the Overwatch Champions Series.

Crazy Raccoon began their campaign with a solid 2-0 victory over Spacestation Gaming in the Upper Bracket quarterfinals, but their journey was temporarily halted after a 3-1 loss to NTMR in the semifinals, sending them to the Lower Bracket.

Despite the setback, the team bounced back with great determination, defeating Virtus.pro 3-1 and then sweeping Once Again 3-0. In an anticipated revenge match, they defeated NTMR 3-0 to secure their place in the Grand Final.

In the final, Crazy Raccoon faced Team Falcons, the same team that defeated them in the 2024 OWCS World Finals. This time, Crazy Raccoon prevailed 4-2, a victory that served as a salve for their well-deserved title.

Support player Kim "Shu" Jin-seo expressed his feelings on social media, saying, "GGs all. It's painful to lose to the Falcons. But it also feels so good to beat the Falcons."

This victory represented a true moment of redemption for Shu and his teammates, who finally succeeded in overcoming the team that denied them the title last year. Shu also received the MVP award for the OWCS Champions Clash for his outstanding performance.

As for player Choi "MAX" Su-min, he shared his feelings of gratitude towards the fans via a message in Japanese, noting that their continued support was behind this achievement, adding, "I love my team with all my heart."

With this victory, Crazy Raccoon officially qualified for the OWCS Midseason Championship, scheduled to be held as part of the Esports World Cup 2025.
