The final week of June Joust qualifiers kicked off with a bang on Thursday as the Paris Eternal and Dallas Fuel picked up wins.
The Dallas Fuel (4-3, 6 points) took a 3-2 slobberknocker of a series against the Florida Mayhem (4-3, 5 points). Both teams were committed to the Winston-led brawl composition that has dominated the meta (Winston/D.va/Echo/Reaper/Lucio/Moira), resulting in long fights similar to the GOATs meta of seasons past.
Both teams fought tooth and nail from map to map, with Florida taking Game 1 on Lijiang Tower 2-1 and Dallas taking Game 2 on Hanamura 3-2. The Fuel picked up Hollywood 4-3, going up 2-1 in the series, but the Mayhem responded with a 3-1 win on Junkertown. In Game 5, though, the Mayhem ran out of gas, allowing the Fuel to take Oasis 2-0 for the series win.
