Since the year began, Real Sapphire have found their feet, winning all their Championship games. They can make it three Championship wins this year when they travel to face Valiant in this round of games.

If thy’re to defend their title this season, there’s plenty of catching up to do, as the reigning champions are 16 points behind the leaders. That, and of course, hoping that other results go their way.

They won’t be thinking that far as they approach this one. The goal for this one is simple: force Valiant into a fourth loss of the year while they maintain their winning run.

STAT ATTACK

Real Sapphire have won all of their last three Championship games against Valiant.
