Pirate Galaxy » a while, SFAT has his eyes set on larger goals.

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. Authentic NFL Jerseys .

It once again produced a stand-out chassis which helped compensate for its power deficit for most of the year, though the final portion of 2016 left a lot to be desired.The team was hampered by the early season switch which saw Daniil Kvyat return for Max Verstappen, whoo was promoted to Red Bull.dddddddddddd. Kvyat needed almost half a season to adjust to his new role and that period of adjustment clearly hurt the teams results before the summer break. One shining light from the whole period is Carlos Sainz, however, who proved he is one of the standout young talents on the grid, though it now faces a headache about keeping him beyond 2017.? ' ' '
