The gauntlet of final group stage games continued as South Korean teams Flash Lux and Afreeca Freecs Blue were once again summoned to fight each other in the first match of the day. Flash Lux was crushed yesterday by Europes Rogue, one of the best teams if not the best around. Today, however, they fared no better against Afreeca Freecs Blue, showing that their disappointing performance pointed to a lack of growth compared to other South Korean teams during APEX. Credit must also be given to the outstanding plays from match MVP Jung Recry Taek Hyun from Afreeca.The new patch seems favorable to Phamercy. Ive played Pharah since we were MiG Frost, and Mercy looks to be coming up, so there was enough reason to try it out, said Recry in an interview with Inven Global.Phamercy, the nickname given to the Pharah and Mercy combo, is something thats been around since the beginning of competitive Overwatch, but also died out with the rise of McCree -- who counters Pharah -- while Mercy got pushed out of the healer meta by Ana. On both Lijiang Tower and Kings Row, it was Recrys incredibly bold Pharah Barrages that wiped out four to five people from Flash Lux.We focused on shutting down Haksals Genji. ... The team had faith in my mirror matchup Genji, said match MVP Park Saebyelbe Jongryeol from South Korean team LW Blue.Early on in the group stages, South Korean team RuNAWAY knocked Europes REUNITED to the pavement with one of the most renowned Genji players, Kim Haksal Hyojong. Haksal walked away a star but returned to the spotlight only to be crushed by the teamwork of LW Blue. In the end, the better team conquered the better player.RuNAWAY very obviously supports Haksal and relies on him, as he was on Genji for almost the entirety of the four games. LW Blue, on the other hand, only had to prepare against Haksal, with the rest of the dominoes falling in place. LW Blue defeated RuNAWAY 3-1, but the latter still has a chance to make it out of the group stages as they face off against South Korean team Kongdoo Panthera and potentially force a tiebreaker or overtake REUNITED for a place in the quarterfinals.Pascal Siakam Jersey Norman Powell Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.nbaraptorsonline.com/Authentic-Serge-Ibaka-Jersey/ . Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. Custom Toronto Raptors Jerseys . Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. Marc Gasol Raptors Jersey . The Islanders dealt Thomas Vanek to the Montreal Canadiens after less than a year on Long Island. Meanwhile, the Oilers dealt long-time sniper Ales hemsky to the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday for a fifth-round pick in 2014 and a third-rounder in 2015.COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Southern California guard DeAnthony Melton played like a silky-smooth veteran down the stretch at Texas A&M, prompting a gentle reminder from Trojans coach Andy Enfield afterward.Hes a true freshman, in the third game of his college career, and we were on the road, Enfield said with a smile.Melton could have fooled the Aggies, late in the Trojans 65-63 comeback victory before a stunned crowd on Friday night. The 6-foot-4 Melton knocked down a 3-pointer with 2:07 remaining to close A&Ms lead to 62-60, and with 12 seconds left he stole the ball from A&M point guard JC Hampton to help preserve the victory.He has an uncanny ability to make plays at crucial times, Enfield said.Melton scored four of his eight points in the last two minutes, Chimezie Metu had 14 points and Jordan McLaughlin added 13.The Aggies (2-1) led 63-60 with 58 seconds remaining when the Trojans (3-0) closed with a flourish. Bennie Boatwright made two free throws with 45 seconds remaining to tighten the gap to 63-62. Hampton then drove the lane and missed a short jump shot, and Boatwright missed a 3-point attempt on the ensuing possession. But McLaughlin grabbed the offensive rebound, and Metu followed with a dunk to lift the Trojans to a 64-63 lead they wouldnt relinquish.We made youthful mistakes that Ive got to get them better at, said A&M coach Billy Kennedy, who had to replace four senior starters from last years NCAA tournament Sweet 16 team.Following Metus dunk Hampton dribbled the ball up court with 17 seconds left, but Melton swiped the ball from behind, and Admon Gilder fouled Melton when he drove to the basket with 11 seconds left. Melton made his first free throw but missed his second, and A&M guard D.J. Hoggs 3-point attempt from the top of the key missed the mark at the buzzer.We made some mistakes, and in life when you make mistakes sometimes you pay, A&M forward Tonny Trocha-Morelos said. We made mistakes, and USC took advantage.Hogg led the Aggiies with 17 points, and Trocha-Morelos added 15.dddddddddddd USCs Elijah Stewart had 11 points and 11 rebounds and Metu grabbed 10 boards.Texas A&Ms front line is just outstanding, Enfield said of the Aggies size and athleticism down low. So to hold them to 38 percent shooting and out-rebound them (47 to 44) was terrific on our part.BIG PICTUREAfter two easy wins at home to start the season, the Trojans showed plenty of resiliency in their first time on the road, overcoming a late deficit in front of a hostile crowd. A&M coach Billy Kennedy said he believes USC is an NCAA Tournament team, and the Trojans looked like it on Friday.The Aggies are young and it showed. Freshman forward Robert Williams has been a dynamo around the basket, but a couple of errant long shots late in the game showed he still has a lot to learn. That goes for plenty of his underclassmen teammates, as well.UP NEXTTexas A&M goes on the road for the first time on Thursday, and will face Cal State Northridge in Fullerton, California, in the Wooden Legacy.The Trojans return to Los Angeles on Tuesday against New Orleans, the first of three consecutive home games.HE SAID ITSometimes you have to lose, and learn in those games, A&M coach Billy Kennedy said of his young team.STAT OF THE NIGHTThe teams were almost even in turnovers (11 for USC and 12 for A&M), but the Trojans doubled up the Aggies, 16-8, in points off turnovers.TURNING POINTA&M led for nearly the entire first half, but USCs Jordan McLaughlin sank a jumper from near the top of the key at the halftime buzzer to lift the Trojans to a 31-29 lead, a harbinger of things to come from USC.STREAK STOPPERSUSC snapped an A&M streak of a dozen consecutive non-conference wins over high-major opponents in Reed Arena. A&M hadnt lost to a high-major in non-league play at home since December 8, 2001, against Miami. ' ' '
