Four teams qualified for the June Joust Tournament Final Bracket after a month of play. Unexpectedly, the back-to-back Overwatch League champions failed to qualify for this round. The June Joust Final Bracket has all you need to know about the schedule, teams, heroes, maps, prize money, and more.
The Dallas Fuel’s quest for a second monthly tournament victory is the primary storyline from the June Joust. After a six-map confrontation with the Shanghai Dragons. The Fuel took the May Melee Championship with amazing team synergy and individual talent. Dallas are back in Hawaii for the June Joust, hoping to defend their championship crown after dominating the current “GOATS” North American meta.
The Dallas Fuels
It's their meta, and we're all just playing in it.

The June Joust bracket’s other half is a little less predictable than the Shanghai-Dallas rivalry. The New York Excelsior narrowly made it into the tournament bracket in the East Region, thanks to a win over the Hangzhou Spark and a few rare slip-ups by the region’s higher-ups. Bang “JJoNak” Sung-Hyeon, the 2018 Overwatch League MVP, will be seeking to lead the mostly rookie team to victory or, at the absolute least, a solid tournament showing.
