ZETA DIVISION took care of Twisted Minds 4-2 in the best-of-seven Grand Final to capture the Overwatch Champions Series Midseason Championship on Sunday in Paris.

ZETA DIVISION earned $400,000 for their triumph, along with 1,000 Esports World Cup club points with this $1 million competition included in that larger event. South Korea's Kim "shu" Jin-seo was named the Most Valuable Player and claimed a $25,000 prize for his efforts.

The 16-team event began with a double-elimination group stage. All group-stage matches were best-of-three, and the top four teams from both groups made the single-elimination playoffs.

Playoff matches were best-of-five until the grand final on Sunday, which was best-of-seven.

ZETA opened with a 2-1 victory in Busan Control, but Twisted Minds responded with a 3-2 Neon Junction Hybrid win. They continued taking turns as ZETA comfortably won 118.11m to 66.43m in Colosseo Push, and Twisted Minds claimed a 3-1 victory in Suravasa Flashpoint.

ZETA DIVISION seized control from there. They secured a 3-2 win on Route 66 Escort, then captured the title with a 2-1 Eichenwalde Hybrid victory. Twisted Minds settled for a $180,000 payout and 750 EWC club points.

In the best-of-five third-place match, T1 swept Weibo Gaming on Nepal Control (2-0), Neon Junction Hybrid (2-1) and Aatlis Flashpoint (3-0) to collect $100,000 and 500 club points. Weibo Gaming received $60,000 and 300 points.
