Washington Justice and London Spitfire posted sweeps on Saturday during qualifying for Overwatch League’s Summer Showdown.
Justice, which moved into a first-place tie atop the standings by virtue of its plus-2 in games won, took out Paris Eternal 3-0. Spitfire blanked Boston Uprising.
In the day’s other match, the Houston Outlaws edged the Los Angeles Gladiators 3-2 in the best-of-five format.
Washington Justice began their match with a 2-0 win on Busan and eked out a pair of close calls — 2-1 on Hollywood and 3-2 on Dorado.
Spitfire got its match rolling with a 2-0 victory on Ilios, then followed up with a 3-1 win on Paraiso. They closed out the match with a 4-3 result on Dorado.
The Outlaws looked like they would pull off a sweep as well, posting wins on Lijiang Tower (2-0) and Hollywood (1-0). But the Gladiators responded with a 5-4 victory on Watchpoint Gibraltar and pulled off a win on Colosseo. The Outlaws came back with a clinching 2-1 win on Nepal.
