There is a lot riding on that first match, so expect both teams to give it all they got.
As for my predictions:
3-2 Glads over Eternal
3-0 Fuel over Titans
3-1 Shock over Justice
Here’s the updated North American June Joust standings heading into today’s matches:
*Los Angeles Gladiators 3-0 (3 League Points) (+7)
*San Francisco Shock 3-0 (3 League Points) (+7)
*Atlanta Reign 3-1 (3 League Points) (+6)
*Houston Outlaws 3-1 (3 League Points) (+5)
Boston Uprising 2-2 (2 League Points) (+3)
Dallas Fuel 2-1 (2 League Points) (+2)
-Cutoff-
Paris Eternal 2-1 (2 League Points) (+2)
Washington Justice 1-2 (1 League Points) (-3)
(E)Florida Mayhem 1-3 (1 League Points) (-4)
(E)Toronto Defiant 1-3 (1 League Points) (-5)
(E)Vancouver Titans 0-3 (0 League Points) (-9)
(E)London Spitfire 0-4 (0 League Points) (-11)
*=Qualified for June Joust Knockouts
(E)=Eliminated from June Joust Knockouts
As we can see, 4 teams are fighting for 2 spots in the June Joust. The first 2 matches could potentially cement the rest of the field, so here we go.
And it is curtains for both the Justice and (assuming Fuel manages 2 map wins in the next match) the Eternal.

2 teams left vying for 1 spot, and the match that will decide the field is coming up right now: Titans vs. Fuel. Grab your popcorn and prepare to watch the fireworks.
I really hate the way the casters talk about moira, like not just these two but avril this morning and jaws yesterday are all so dismissive of her.
Jaws literally said she’s unskilled or something, so rude.
Well that’s not true, you have all the same game sense stuff other heroes have (target prioritisation for damage and heals, detecting flankers, dealing with fliers, CD tracking for stuns etc during coal), it’s not like she requires any less skill than reaper in this meta, but reaper players don’t get almost ridiculed by casters.
EDIT: Like, I get that casters like quick plays and moira makes fights long, and I get that her ult gen is insane in the patch they’re on in OWL, I just wish they’d talk about the support playing moira in at least a similar way they talk about mercy or brig players.
Once again, Titans lose, and once again, no breadsticks from Pizza Hut.
To those ordering pizza tonight…please tip your delivery drivers well.
