The Philadelphia Fusion made quick work of the Houston Outlaws, picking up a 3-0 sweep on Sunday.
The Fusion (14-1) had a strong showing against the Outlaws (5-10), dominating the frontline battle through main tank Su-min "SADO" Kim. While Houston fought hard, with some moments of beating out Philadelphia's star-studded lineup, it couldn't keep up with the sheer mechanical skill coming from the Fusion and their deep bench.
The Fusion took Lijiang Tower 2-1, Hollywood 3-2 and Volskaya Industries 3-2 to secure the win. The Outlaws drop from 13th to 14th with the loss.
In other Sunday action, the Toronto Defiant (5-8) took a 3-0 series win against the Vancouver Titans (2-7). While the Defiant triumphed, led by flex support Young-seo "KariV" Bak, the Titans showed signs of continued growth since the May Melee tournament.
Toronto took Ilios 2-1, Blizzard World 3-2 and closed out the series with a 3-2 win on Temple of Anubis. The Defiant rose from 16th to 13th with the win.
Finally, the Los Angeles Valiant (7-6) took care of business with a 3-0 win over the Washington Justice (3-11).
The Valiant's young roster showed some lapses in concentration throughout the series, though it wouldn't end up hurting L.A. in the long run. The Valiant played well around DPS Kai "KSP" Collins, rotating his DPS partner between Johannes "Shax" Nielsen and Kyle "KSF" Frandanisa. KSP and the crew shredded through the Justice, who are still working on integrating their newest acquisitions and entering a soft rebuild.
The Valiant took Oasis 2-0, King's Row 4-3 and full-held Volskaya Industries 2-0 to lock in a win. The Valiant rose from ninth to eighth with the win.
