Let’s go!

Philly 3-0 over Valiant
3-1 Seoul over Guangzhou
3-2 Hangzhou over Chengdu

Edit: Here’s the standings entering today:

Hangzhou Spark 3-0 (3 League Points) (+8)
Shanghai Dragons 3-1 (3 League Points) (+5)
Seoul Dynasty 2-1 (2 League Points) (+1)
New York Excelsior 2-2 (2 League Points) (+1)

-Cutoff-

Philadelphia Fusion 1-2 (1 League Points) (-1)
Chengdu Hunters 1-2 (1 League Points) (-2)
Guangzhou Charge 1-2 (1 League Points) (-3)
Los Angeles Valiant 0-3 (0 League Points) (-9)

UPDATE 2:

Philadelphia Fusion: We won against the L.A. Valiant.

Me: What did it cost?

Fusion: Everything, possibly including our spot in the June Joust.

FINAL (Match 1)

Nepal (Control): Philadelphia Fusion 2, Los Angeles Valiant 0.

Volskaya Industries (Assault): Philadelphia Fusion 2, Los Angeles Valiant 0.

Numbani (Hybrid): Los Angeles Valiant 1, Philadelphia Fusion 0.

Rialto (Escort): Philadelphia Fusion 2, Los Angeles Valiant 1.

FINAL SCORE: Philadelphia Fusion 3, Los Angeles Valiant 1

PHILADELPHIA FUSION WINS!

The Philadelphia Fusion get the match victory, but they now need a match victory from the Guangzhou Charge against the Seoul Dynasty, as well as the Hangzhou Spark to not lose 3-0 to the Chengdu Hunters in order for the Fusion to advance to the June Joust, as the NYXL and Fusion both finish 2-2 with a +1 map differential…and the NYXL hold the tiebreaker (via the head-to-head match which NYXL won 3-1 over the Fusion earlier in the June Joust qualifiers).

For the Valiant, I’m afraid, it’s homeward bound.

Updated standings are below:

Hangzhou Spark 3-0 (3 League Points) (+8)
Shanghai Dragons 3-1 (3 League Points) (+5)
Seoul Dynasty 2-1 (2 League Points) (+1)
New York Excelsior 2-2 (2 League Points) (+1)

-Cutoff-

Philadelphia Fusion 2-2 (2 League Points) (+1)
Chengdu Hunters 1-2 (1 League Points) (-2)
Guangzhou Charge 1-2 (1 League Points) (-3)
Los Angeles Valiant 0-4 (0 League Points) (-11)

Next up, we have the Guangzhou Charge facing the Seoul Dynasty. Fusion fans, you are Charge fans for this match.

Seoul Dynasty clinch a spot in the June Joust, and the Fusion are OUT of the June Joust!

FINAL (Match 2)

Busan (Control): Seoul Dynasty 2, Guangzhou Charge 1.

Volskaya Industries (Assault): Seoul Dynasty 2, Guangzhou Charge 1.

Numbani (Hybrid): Seoul Dynasty 3, Guangzhou Charge 2.

FINAL SCORE: Seoul Dynasty 3, Guangzhou Charge 0

SEOUL DYNASTY WINS!

The Seoul Dynasty end with a 3-1 record and clinch the 3rd seed in the June Joust. For the Charge, I’m afraid, it’s homeward bound. In addition, the Fusion are ELIMINATED from the June Joust. Sorry, Fusion fans.

Now, we’re on to the final match, the one which fans in Hangzhou paid good money to see: The Chengdu Hunters taking on the hometown heroes Hangzhou Spark. Will the Hunters crash the party and possibly steal a bid right out from the noses of the NYXL? Or will the Spark get a map (and possibly match) win in front of their hometown fans again and set up a match against the NYXL? There’s only one way to find out, ladies and gentlemen. Let’s get the payload moving on this last qualifier match.

Updated June Joust standings heading into the final map:

**Hangzhou Spark 3-0 (3 League Points) (+8)
*Shanghai Dragons 3-1 (3 League Points) (+5)
