After a dominant 3-0 win against Paris Eternal, London Spitfire has qualified for the July tournament of the Overwatch League. As a result, the team also won against Washington Justice (3:2).

"We know that we are the better team," said London's William "Sparkr" Andersson after the fifth victory in a row, while his German teammate Hadi "Hadi" Bleinagel tapped him on the shoulder in the background. The 21-year-old Canadian is making a significant contribution to the success of London with his performance this season and was voted Player of the match in the match against Washington.

Against Hadi, the second Canadian of the league, Emir "Kaan" Okumus and his team Paris Eternal had no chance. The defeat against London also led to qualifying for Paris, which is currently in penultimate place in the table.

Despite the disappointing season so far, Paris shows fighting spirit. In the match against the favorite Toronto Defiant, the young French team fought until the last second. But in extra time, Paris could not get past the experienced players of Toronto (2:3).
