Discount Nike NBA Jerseys .Teams from across the world will embark on a journey to the United States in three weeks to face off with North Americas trio of Team SoloMid, Counter Logic Gaming and Cloud9 to crown this years world champion. SK Telecom T1 from South Korea returns as the defending champion, but the runners-up from 2015s final, the ROX Tigers, appear to be the stronger team coming into the tournament as the regions summer champion.The group draw will take place at 2 p.m. ET Saturday in the North American League Championship Series studio. And while you could go over every single possibility the ping pong balls can shoot out, in terms of forming the four groups in the opening round, we have you covered by theorizing about the toughest, easiest and most intriguing groups possible come Saturday afternoon.The road to Worlds has finally started, and this weekend is the first stop toward the climax on Oct. 30 in Los Angeles at the Staples Center, when the surviving pair of teams will clash in the Summoners Cup Finals.Group of DeathEdward Gaming (Pool 1, China) SK Telecom T1 (Pool 2, Korea) G2 Esports (Pool 2, Europe) Cloud9 (Pool 3, North America)This is far and away the scariest group of death possible, come Saturdays group draw. Edward Gaming didnt lose a single best-of series in the entirety of the Chinese summer season, and it took down rival Royal Never Give Up in the domestic final 3-0.SK Telecom T1 didnt four-peat in South Korea (falling to arch-nemesis KT Rolster in the semifinal), but is the defending champion and won the Summoners Cup both times it has qualified for Worlds. The jungle position will be a gigantic question for Leagues first and still ongoing worldwide dynasty, but not even EDG would be happy with seeing its international adversary so soon in the tournament.For G2 Esports, Europes back-to-back champion, its position as a Pool 2 team is a self-inflicted wound. After taking the Mid-Season Invitational not nearly as serious as its fans and the European region would have liked, G2 failed to make the top four of the tournament and lost Europes Pool 1 seed in the process.While G2 would much rather be in Pool 1, the team has vastly improved its roster from the spring; the bottom lane of Jesper Zven Svenningsen and Alfonso Mithy Aguirre Rodriguez can compete as one of the best one-two punches in the entire tournament, and two-time European MVP Kim Trick Gang-yun wants to establish himself as not only the best jungler in the EU LCS, but one of the best junglers in the world.Cloud9 could be the best Pool 3 seed in the history of the World Championships. Although it failed to make the semifinals in the spring season, a revamped roster with a new head coach in legendary top laner Bok Reapered Han-gyu rocketed the club into the summer final versus Team SoloMid. While C9 failed to beat the North American champions in a competitive four-game series, it did make a statement by steamrolling through Team Envy (3-0) and Immortals (3-1) to make it back to Worlds for a fourth straight year. The re-emergence of former world champion Jung Impact Eon-yeong could be the key in getting C9 to the quarterfinals for the third time in club history.Well, maybe not in this group.Group of LifeFlash Wolves (Pool 1, Taiwan) Counter Logic Gaming (Pool 2, North America) H2K Gaming (Pool 2, Europe) INTZ Esports e-Sports (Pool 3, Brazil)From the scariest group possible to the Group of Life, where every team would breathe a sigh of relief at the circumstances.Flash Wolves would love to get another shot at a seemingly weaker CLG squad that bested them in the semifinals at MSI. CLG, who only finished fourth in NA LCS summer season, would be happy to see the Wolves again while avoiding either EDG and ROX from Pool 1. H2K, thrown into a group with tournament favorites EDG and SKT last year, would be happy to at least have a solid chance of getting out of groups before it plays a single game. While INTZ wouldnt be favored to make it out of the group, it would still have a solid chance of being able to topple any of the other three teams.If this group does happen, it would be eerily similar to last years perceived easiest group in the opening round, where CLG, Flash Wolves and Pain Gaming all resided. The only difference -- and its a major one -- would be H2K Gaming standing in for the ROX Tigers, who unexpectedly got second to Flash Wolves in 2015s Group of Life but still went on to ultimately to make the Summoners Cup Finals.Group of FakerEdward Gaming (Pool 1, China) SK Telecom T1 (Pool 2, Korea) H2k Gaming (Pool 2, Europe) Cloud9 (Pool 3, North America)Lee Faker Sang-hyeok is the greatest player in the games six year history, and this group would be chock-full of trips down memory lane for the two-time world champion.First off, his former understudy on SKT T1, Lee Scout Ye-chan, is now the starting mid laner for Edward Gaming, the last organization to best Faker in an international final. Scout, considered an amateur prodigy, left SKT in the middle of the year to join EDG in China. Due to Heo PawN Won-seoks constant health issues, Scout has filled in as starter for a majority of the season and has improved leaps and bounds under the tutelage of the EDG staff. A meeting between the two would truly be a master versus apprentice matchup between the best mid laner of all time and one of the most promising.If youve followed League at all over the past three to four years, we dont need to talk much about the history between Faker and H2Ks mid laner Yoo Ryu Sang-ook. In case you need a short reminder: Faker used Ryu as a metaphorical stepping stone in 2013 to win his first domestic championship in an iconic outplay, and ever since, Ryu has been haunted by it. The two faced off last year in the group stages, and the result, as it was in 2013, was the same: Faker and SKT T1 taking down Ryus H2K 2-0.In the case of Cloud9, it would be another meeting between Faker and former teammate. This time, the relationship is even deeper, with Faker having to go up against teammate from 2013, Impact, whos now on C9. Impact has had a reawakening as a player since joining C9, especially since the summer domestic playoffs kicked off. He is on a warpath to get back to the Summoners Cup, solo killing his in-lane opponent nearly every single time in the past couple of weeks. A reunion between Faker and Impact simply wouldnt be a friendly meeting between former comrades: itd be a showdown between, currently, two of the most dominant players on the planet.

http://www.wholesalenbajerseys.info/ . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No. The late-ish debutEvery time a new player makes an appearance in Test cricket, there is scrutiny of his method and technique. The first few overs against pace saw Keaton Jennings getting a little late on the ball. Whenever we saw the footage from the square angle for the balls that pitched fuller, we found his front toe in the air and also, the contact was within his body as opposed to meeting the ball either around or ahead of the front pad.Rolling in the deepThe Indian seamers deployed a fielder to man the fence on either side of the pitch. While having a fielder at deep square leg could be to set the bouncer trap, the one at deep point was stationed for the bad ball. The reasons for such a ploy could be an acceptance of the possibility of the pitch cracking too soon or to account for the extra bounce at Wankhede, for that allows the horizontal bat shots to be played more often.The well-behaved Wankhede pitchThe pitch at Wankhede is one of its kind in India, for the soil used to prepare it is red in colour and that offers more bounce. In addition to that, the red soil tends to break quicker than the black soil. The first signs of what to expect from this pitch surfaced on the fourth ball of the eighth over, for there was a puff of dust where the ball landed. It is worth mentioning here that there is an even covering of grass on the 22 yards and therefore it will not start misbehaving too soon.Englands clear intentEngland have come out with a clear intent to be a little more aggressive in this Test. There has been a clear intent to keep the score board ticking, even if it meant playing slightly out of character. Alastair Cook is not known to go down the track and attempt aerial shots early in the innings but he did that here. Jennings also used the sweep shot effectively to rotate strike.Liimited margin of errorThe best part about the red-soil pitch at Wankhede is that the game moves really fast.

As a bowler you cannot err in length, for unlike other Indian pitches, here runs are easily available off the back foot. Batsmen must also be decisive in judging the length correctly, for they cannot just plant their foot and adjust afterwards.The familiar trap against MoeenFollowing Moeen Alis dismissal in the first innings of the Test in Mohali, Indian seamers tried the bouncer trap against him at Wankhede too. While he has had a fair share of issues against the short-pitched deliveries in the past, he has managed it well on the first day here. If there is a pitch in India that encourages fast bowlers to dig it in, it has to be at the Wankhede. But if there is a pitch in India where batsmen also feel comfortable against bouncers, it has to be the Wankhede again, for here you can always trust the bounce. If you have a defensive game plan against bouncers, you can stick to it without worrying about some balls not bouncing enough. The ball of the seriesIf you are an aspiring spinner, please watch this ball time and again. R Ashwin bowled from around the wicket, used the angle to bring the ball back into Ben Stokes, the angle got further accentuated because of the drift and then the ball turned at a right-angle after pitching to beat Stokes outside edge. It is a pity that Ashwin did not get a wicket on that ball and therefore it will not go down as one of the best balls in recent times.
