Northern California Super Smash Bros. for Wii U player Matthew Xzax Liberatore has joined multi-game esports organization Team RivaL as its first-ever fighting game player.The move comes after Xzax parted ways with former team Enemy at the end of October and began looking for a new home. After speaking with several teams, Xzax came to terms for a deal -- which have not been disclosed -- with Team RivaL.Being involved in the FGC and Smash in particular is something that we have been looking into for awhile now simply because of how unique the scene is and how those involved in it are some of the most die hard fans in all of competitive gaming, Team RivaL co-founder Tyler West tells ESPN. One of the main things we were looking for was not only a player that could compete at a high level but also one that would be able to represent RivaL as an active member in the community that will assist us at RivaL in making a push to produce consistent and quality competitive gaming content, which we believe we have found with Xzax.Prior to expanding to Smash, RivaL had teams in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Smite and World of Tanks. RivaL tells ESPN that if they find success with Xzax, the team will pursue other acquisitions in both Smash and other fighting games.If things go as well as we plan with this investment into Smash and Xzax, I can only seeing our interest in fighting games growing, West says.Xzax is currently ranked 39th on the Panda Global Super Smash Bros. for Wii U rankings, which were released in May 2016. While Xzax did not attend the Evolution Championship Series, Community Effort Orlando, or Super Smash Con, hes taken ninth at both LVL UP EXPO 2016 and 2GGT: Mexico Saga, as well as fifth at 2GGT: Fresh Saga. His only major event of the year, Genesis 3, saw him take 17th. Nike React Cheap .

Inter president Erick Thohir says in a club statement on Wednesday that Vidic is "one of the worlds best defenders and his qualities, international pedigree, and charisma will be an asset.MILWAUKEE -- In what has been a tough week, Kyle Lohse finally gave the Milwaukee Brewers a reason to smile. Lohse gave up five hits in seven strong innings to lead the Brewers to a 3-1 win over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday night. It was the Brewers first win since left fielder Ryan Braun was suspended Monday for the remainder of the 2013 season for violations of Major League Baseballs drug policy. "We really needed a little bit of good news after this week," Lohse said. "We have to focus on the job we have to do. This season has not turned out the way I or anyone on this team thought it would. But we have to focus on the next two months and go out and win as many games as we can." Lohse has been doing his part lately. He is 6-1 over his last 11 starts with a 2.51 ERA. The Brewers were 2-8 in Lohses first 10 starts and 8-3 in his last 11 starts. Lohse said he is feeling good on the mound and results have shown it. "I am just focusing on what I am doing well," he said. The other key Wednesday was all-star centre fielder Carlos Gomez, who had four hits and drove in two runs. Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said it looks as if Gomez is breaking out of a recent slump in which he had one hit in his last 10 at-bats. "It looked like he was really on pitches tonight," Roenicke said. "When he is on his game like that, it is a big boost for the team." John Axford pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Jim Henderson pitched the ninth to record his 11th save in 14 opportunities. Sean OSullivan (0-2), making just his second start and third appearance of the season for the Padres, pitched 6 1-3 innings, giving up three runs on seven hits. He started in place of Jason Marquis, who is scheduled for Tommy John surgery. San Diego manager Bud Black said Lohse was just too tough on the Padres. "He did a good job on both sides of the plate," Black said. "Hes been pitching well. The last number of starts for him have been outstanding, and he just continued that tonight. We couldnt capitalize on any mistakes he left ouut over the plate.dddddddddddd We battled him. We just couldnt break through." Nick Hundley hit Lohses first pitch of the third inning for his eighth home run of the season to give the Padres a 1-0 lead. It was his third home run in his last six games. Hundley hit a two-run home run in Tuesdays game. The Brewers came back to grab a 2-1 lead in the third inning. Rickie Weeks and Norichika Aoki led off with singles and Jonathan Lucroy walked. With one out, Gomez lined a double over the head of Padres centre fielder Will Venable to score Weeks and Aoki. The Brewers added a run in the seventh inning. Aoki was hit by a pitch and stole second base. He advanced to third on Gomezs single. Gomez tried to steal second and Padres Pitcher Dale Thayer first threw to third base. Chase Headley then threw to second to get Gomez, but the throw hit umpire Bob Davidson in the back and rolled into centre field. Aoki scored on what was ruled an error on Headley. Black said the Padres executed the play the way he wanted them to, except for the umpire getting hit with the throw. "Everybody did everything right," he said. "Unfortunately for us, Bob was in the way of a thrown ball. Would have been a close play, no doubt, but I wouldve liked to see how it wouldve ended up. Bob told me, obviously, that was the last thing he wanted to happen. He just didnt get out of the way of the ball."
