The Florida Mayhem, Dallas Fuel and Washington Justice proved victorious Friday during West division action in the Overwatch League Kickoff Clash qualifiers.

Florida opened with back-to-back 2-0 map wins on Ilios and Eichenwalde, then finished with a 5-4 nailbiter on Dorado.
Dallas began with a 2-0 blanking of Toronto on Oasis, then scored a 3-2 victory on King's Row before taking the match with a 1-0 win on Circuit Royal.
