Afreeca Freecs Jo Patience Ji Hyun took home the 14th HomeStory Cup over KT Rolsters Joo Zest Sung Wook for the first-place prize of $10,000. In an intense best-of-seven series that went the distance, Patience lived up to the moniker and outlasted his challenger. The underdog Protoss player surprised many and took down a very difficult tournament cup over the likes of some of StarCraft IIs strongest players in 2016.The HomeStory Cup has long been a fixture in the competitive StarCraft landscape since its inception in 2010. It was one of the first tournaments that humanized the professionals that commanded the units in the StarCraft universe with the use of player cameras, commentary, and interviews after the games. This years HomeStory Cup XIV was significant because of the uncertainty of the events future. With only one large sponsorship in MIFcom, the large-scale tournament struggled to maintain its signature quality.The news, delivered by organizer Dennis TaKe Gehlen, was that the future of the cup would match the landscape of professional StarCraft II. Translation: This years iteration was the last HomeStory Cup of this size and reach. Gehlen said that it was not the end of the tournament series, but it would be scaling back.The HomeStory Cup XIV played out via a group stage that was broken down in two stages. The initial group stage was largely devoid of surprises and upsets and many sets were one-sided. There were great showings from westerners, such as Team Liquids Jens Snute Aasgaard and True eSports Mikolaj Elazer Ogonowski, but it was the South Korean powerhouses like Kang Solar Min Soo and Kim Stats Dae Yeob that absolutely dominated the field.Overall, the tournament was a blow against the revival of a western hope against the Korean overlords.In the finals, Zest took control of the game with early aggression, taking full advantage of the map choices. Whether it was a map without a ramp to play better defense or timing pushes, the set looked like a wipe-out. Zests ability to out-tech his opponent -- in addition to his control over warp prisms and walling out Patiences Stalker defense -- boosted him to a very quick 2-0 lead in the grand finals.Patience tied the set after the early mishaps with a consistent approach. Patience took advantage of Zests macro struggles and over-extensions for his first win in the set. He overwhelmed with his larger Stalker army against the enemy defenses and with better supply and the ability to refill his push over and over, Zests momentum was stalled out. Patiences superior micro and constant aggression took full advantage of Zests poor unit positioning for the stalemate.Both players traded wins with traits unique to their style, Zest with initial aggression and map control and Patience with stronger positioning and patience, until the final game where it was almost a complete mirror-match. Zest started the game with a fast expansion cheese, but Patience answered back with faster technology and stronger aggression. Despite Zests strong defense and pincer movements, Patiences supply lead and overall positioning in fights was too difficult to overcome and he closed out the set in a battle of supply.Adidas Gazelle ανδρικα .

Bae played bogey-free Friday on another gorgeous day at Riviera for a 5-under 66, giving him a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley and Robert Garrigus going into the weekend.HOOVER, Ala. -- Auburn coach Gus Malzahn wants to get back to what he does best, focusing on Xs and Os and trying to rev up his normally fast-paced offense again.He figured change was necessary after the Tigers lost 11 games in two seasons since playing for a national championship. They entered Southeastern Conference media days Monday getting scant mention as contenders a year after being a trendy pick both in the league and nationally.They wound up 7-6 thanks largely to poor quarterback play.Malzahn is still seeking a starting quarterback but he has called an audible on his own approach.After you get down with the season and youre not as successful as youd like, you evaluate things, said Malzahn, who built his reputation on prolific up-tempo offenses. One thing that really hit me pretty hard is that Ive got to be more active with the daily Xs and Os and coaching that goes with that.And thats what I look at as my strength. Im looking forward to getting back in the middle of things and enjoying the actual coaching on the field.The Tigers offense fizzled last season, when quarterback Jeremy Johnson quickly lost his starting job after coming in being widely mentioned as a leading Heisman Trophy candidate. The result was two league wins and five SEC games in which Auburn failed to top 21 points.It wasnt nearly good enough to remain competitive in the loaded Westerrn Division.ddddddddddddJohnson and Sean White both had iffy performances as starters last season. Junior college transfer John Franklin III brings more of the athleticism that helped Nick Marshall lead the Tigers to the 2013 SEC title in his debut. It appears to be a dead heat.Ive got a very open mind about that, Malzahn said. I dont have a whole lot of preconceived ideas as far as who is going to be our starter. Were going to open it up like we did in 2013.He did settle one question in saying Monday that four players arrested in May on misdemeanor drug charges -- starting cornerback Carlton Davis, defensive end Byron Cowart, wide receiver Ryan Davis and cornerback Jeremiah Dinson -- have all served their punishment. He said they wont miss any playing time.Those four young men made a mistake, we punished them and they wont miss any time, Malzahn said. Thats behind us. Theyre four fine young men, they made a mistake and Im confident that they wont make any more.He said playing against defending ACC champion Clemson in the opener had zero impact on that decision.For receiver Marcus Davis, Auburns primary goal is avoiding a repeat of last season.No one wants to go 7-6 again, Davis said, and thats the biggest thing coming into this year.
