Dallas Fuel vs Washington Justice

For our first match of the day we have a rather one-sided match-up between the Dallas Fuel and Washington Justice. Now, frankly speaking, this is by no means a premier match-up that's going to blow anyone's mind, but it's still a fairly enticing clash that could deliver entertainment-wise.

That said, Dallas Fuel are heavily favored and with good reason. They're simply better across the board with a more synergetic and cohesive tank duo, deceptively capable supports, and two flexible DPS players who tend to shine without attracting much attention to themselves. They are by no means a top-tier behemoth, but the fact that they went to five maps with San Francisco Shock recently tells you all you need to know. Gamsu and Note have been doing a ton of heavy lifting, and they're just playing like a well-oiled machine. There does come a moment when they make an egregious mistake or two, but as a whole, all things considered, they're very solid and are a worthy Top 10 contender.

Washington, on the other hand, still hasn't done anything worthy of mentioning in 2020. They've been smacked around for weeks and while they shouldn't be underestimated (especially not in the ever-changing hero pool meta), they simply lack the depth and potential to compete at the highest of levels. Heck, they lack the depth to compete for mid-tier gatekeeper status as well, let alone anything higher.

Still, with Corey "Corey" Nigra on their side, it's impossible not to be at least a little bit scared what could happen if he decides to pop off in patented Corey ways. In any case, we'll side with Dallas on this one as it's the only logical choice. That said, if Washington improved over the last couple of weeks, they could give Dallas a run for their money.
