In amazing fashion, Zachary SFAT Cordoni finished in third place at CEO 2016 in June, just behind the gods of competitive Super Smash Bros. Melee. On his way there, he made one of the greatest comebacks against Justin Plup McGrath before falling short to Jason Mew2King Zimmerman. As much as this is a solid showing for SFAT, the real story is that he has been placing well at events as early as 2012.The early daysBack in 2012, SFAT had just finished high school and wasnt quite sure what he should do next: esports or college. Joseph Mango Marquez was a regular at SFATs place and they trained diligently together. The results showed immediately with several top-4 finishes at iconic events such as The Big House 2 and MELEE-FC10R Legacy. Rankings werent established at this point, but these performances put him arguably in the top 10 in the world.Despite these accomplishments, there was still an aura of uncertainty. Melee was a much smaller game both in prizes and recognition, and his parents wanted him to take a more stable path.Back then, I wasnt so sure what I wanted to do. I juggled back and forth, but esports is my passion. Looking back, I have no regrets with the choice I made, SFAT said.SFATs current journeyTimes have changed. SFAT joined Counter Logic Gaming in late 2015 and has begun pursuing Melee as more of a full-time gig. While he has been hovering around the top 15 for a while, SFAT has his eyes set on larger goals.By the end of summer, I want to win a super-major: a tournament that includes at least four of the top five players and a majority of the top 100, SFAT said.It would be quite an accomplishment for the aspiring Fox main, considering that only a small handful of players have won a super-major. To do so, he needs to win multiple sets against the gods, something that has remained mostly elusive for him. In 2016, he has seen some success with a win over Mew2King back at Genesis 3. However, he has also seen several heart-breaking moments, especially against Juan Hungrybox Debiedma, who he has taken to game five on multiple occasions, most recently at Smash N Splash 2.I didnt feel too bad about that set [at Smash N Splash 2] because I know that Im improving and that Im getting closer in overall skill to the best, SFAT said.Not alone in the journeySFAT had another opportunity to take sets against the gods recently at the giant ring at CEO and at WTFox 2, but nerves and jitters got the best of him at each event. Although they werent the performance he wanted, SFAT says he still believes he is heading in the right direction and credits his overall improvement to longtime friend Robert BobbySiege John.Im hoping that one day CLG picks [Bobbysiege] up, so that he can travel regularly with [teammate Kevin PewPewU Toy] and me, SFAT said.When SFAT is not at a tournament, he breaks down game footage with Bobbysiege, identifying mistakes and areas of improvement. At events, Bobbysiege mentally prepares SFAT for his bracket matches by keeping him calm and present while relaying key tendencies of his opponent. These tips have been pivotal for many of his wins against other top players, especially in the past three months.Up aheadWith no more large tournaments until the Evolution Championship Series (Evo) on July 15-17, SFAT decided to house Adam Armada Lindgren for the two weeks leading up to the event to train. SFAT was ecstatic when the Swede had reached out to him to discuss his plans to come to Northern California again; Armada noted that their training helped both of them for Genesis 3 in early 2016 where Armada finished first and SFAT fifth.I feel that I learn so much when I play against Armada and hes given me so much useful advice in the game and also in how to deal with high pressure situations, SFAT said.SFAT hopes to be in peak shape for Evo with Armadas help, and also hopes to meet him in the grand finals at the Mandalay Bay Events Center. His goals are set high, but he has been slowly making his mark with excellent performances. Perhaps Evo will be the event where he finally breaks through.Cheapest Yeezy 350 v2 2019 .

At a Manhattan federal court hearing, attorney Jordan Siev said his law office has gotten more evidence nearly every day to support its lawsuit accusing MLB and Selig of going on a "witch hunt" to ruin Rodriguezs reputation and career. He said the defendants went "way over the line.For the sake of argument, lets assume that Max Verstappen is a moustache-twirling evil villain of motorsport who weaves more than an Arabian carpet-maker, leaving a trail of devastated carbon fibre in his wake.If the Red Bull ingenue is at fault for everything he was being blamed for following Sundays Belgian Grand Prix, how should the F1 world go about ensuring that Verstappen improves his defensive driving techniques to the satisfaction of his on-track rivals?After a spectacular race that was further enlivened by Kimi Raikkonens radio fury over Verstappens defensive manoeuvres, there was something of a war of words between the Ferrari pair and the Red Bull driver. According to Verstappen, Sebastian Vettel was entirely to blame for the La Source crash that ruined their afternoon, while Vettel pointed to Maxs very bold move as the cause of the three-car pile-upI dont think what Max was trying to do would have worked, Vettel said. Obviously he didnt allow Kimi to move into the inside, and that prevented both of them from clearing Turn One in a normal way. We all three touched and collided, and this was bad news for Kimi and for me. Of course, with hindsight, I would have given more room to the inside, but you want to make the corner and try to race, and I gave room to Kimi, but not to three cars.Max had a bad start, he was falling behind. I think we have seen in the last couple of years that if you really dive down the very inside,the track is falling off and you basically go straight. The cars ahead have priority, and this is something he needs to understand. In that regard there was no way he could have made the corner without making contact.None of the drivers were penalised during the race for their part in the accident, which the stewards appeared to see as a standard racing incident off the start.Whoever was at fault on Sunday, the La Source crash has reignited a paddock debate about Verstappens driving standards. No one thinks the Dutch teenager is anything other than a champion in waiting, but -- like any other driver -- he is not immunee to making the odd mistake.ddddddddddddIn 2014 the FIA introduced the current penalty point and reprimand system under which drivers can receive up to 12 points on their Super License in any given calendar year before they face a suspension. The system was introduced to enforce driving standards on track and to try and minimise repeated mistakes from the same culprit. Similarly, three reprimands in a racing season leads to a 10-place grid drop at the next grand prix.Since Monza 2015, Verstappen has received only three penalty points; all of those were earned following the 2015 season finale in Abu Dhabi, when the Red Bull driver was penalised both for ignoring waved blue flags and for forcing Jenson Button off track. Those three points put the Dutch racer towards the bottom of the penalty points table, ahead of Vettel but some way behind Raikkonen.But how effective has the introduction of these penalty points been? No driver -- not even Pastor Maldonado -- has accrued the necessary 12 points to secure a one-race ban.In the post-Spa media scrums, Vettel proposed an alternative solution in light of what he felt were Verstappens on-track infractions.We talked about moving under braking. Top speed... reaching 340 km/h... and hes moving, Vettel told NBC Sports after the race. It works so long as the car behind plays accordingly and lifts. But if both stick to line, both crash. Thats not what you want to do. If you drive like that it wont end up too well. More than anything it cost us - and him - a lot of time.His solution? A good old-fashioned sit down with some face-to-face communication.I dont like to investigate anything. Were men; were not in kindergarten, Vettel continued. If I have a problem with Max I need to go to talk to him. But obviously right after race isnt the best moment! Leave it to us though. If you go beyond the limits you need to talk. In general, Im not a fan. Were not here to cry, oh heres a penalty! ' ' '
