The final week of June Joust qualifiers continued on Friday with the Los Angeles Gladiators, San Francisco Shock and Washington Justice picking up wins.
The main event of the day saw the Washington Justice (5-2, 5 points) dominate a strong team in the Florida Mayhem (4-4, 5 points) in a 3-0 series sweep. The win helps the Justice keep their June Joust hopes alive, while the loss eliminates the Mayhem, who posted a top-four finish in the May Melee, from June Joust contention.
The Justice had struggled in their previous matches, but on Friday they had star DPS Gui-un Decay Jang rejoin the starting lineup. Decay s presence emboldened the rest of Washington, which played with great energy in their 2-0 win on Oasis to start the series.

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.
