We will see in Los Angeles Valiant vs. Toronto Defiant which of these teams isn't quite at the bottom.
Valiant are looking better, and Toronto is looking weaker. So have they overlapped yet, or are Toronto still above the lowest tier?

Every game they play, the Los Angeles Valiant look stronger and stronger. They're taking maps off of competitive teams in the league, begging the question of how high they may go. The Toronto Defiant won't be nearly the best team they've faced up to this point, so they are expected to put up a big fight, if not take an impressive win.

The only win this team has thus far is against the New York Excelsior, and even then it was only a 3-2 win. This team isn't nearly what everybody thought they would be. If they wanted to be ready for the World Cup, in which most of the team is comprised of these players, they need to step it up. They need to 3-0 the Valiant minimum if they want to be more than barely above bottom tier.
