Fight to the Phoenix

Coincidentally, Phoenix's assignment after that will be two days later against the Gin Kings, who are expected to play with a lot of sense of urgency with their backs against the wall.
The Fuel Masters then wrap up their elims campaign with another tough clash against the Elasto Painters on October 23.
