With a narrow 3:2 victory, London Spitfire prevailed over the favorite Atlanta Reign in the Overwatch League. Nevertheless, the team misses the summer tournament of the league.

"I was confident we were going to win," Canadian Hadi "Hadi" Bleinagel said after beating Atlanta. "It was bittersweet, but I'm still happy about it," Hadi said.

The second European team, Paris Eternal, was only one point away from its first victory of the season. Against the Houston Outlaws, they managed to take a 2-0 lead. However, Houston managed to turn the game around and take a 3-2 lead.

The Overwatch League Summer tournament kicks off on June 2. In addition to the teams from Atlanta and Houston, six other teams qualified in the West region, as well as four teams from the East region. The games of the Western teams are to be played in front of an audience in Texas.
