Its fitting that, in a tournament of upsets, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team Gambit Gaming was the team to come out on top. While the team had to trudge through the lower bracket of its group, it did so with relative ease and took down Renegades in a quick grand finals. It picked up a coveted DreamHack trophy and a breezy $50,000 for its troubles, which is a big chunk on top of the estimated $200,000 Gambit has earned to date.Pedal to the metal in the semifinalsThe day started off with Team Kinguin going up against Renegades in what turned out to be a very close game. Kinguin got off to a somewhat slow start, as it was down 9-6 going into the half. But once the second half opened, its T-side was incredibly strong and rattled off 10 straight rounds to take the map. From that point on, however, it was the Renegades show. Justin jks Savage showed up in a big way with a combined 51/32 kills/deaths (KD) in Games 2 and 3. Renegades took those maps 16-7 and 16-14 to move on to the grand finals.Just as the crowd was starting to sit back in its seats, Gambit Gaming came out on top over GODSENT as one final upset for everyone to digest. GODSENT had come out of its group as the top seed while Gambit had to do battle in the lower bracket to even get to playoffs. Maybe it was that extra day of play that benefited Gambit, since it looked a bit more polished coming out the gate. Gambit started the day off with a 16-5 win on Cobblestone, before GODSENT bounced back with a 16-8 win on Train to send things to a decisive Game 3. In that game, it certainly looked like GODSENT would be waltzing its way into the grand finals since it enjoyed a halftime lead of 10-5. Its T-side on Overpass was a disaster, though, as Gambit dusted the Swedes up to the tune of an 11-3 half, taking the final map 16-13. Abay HObbit Khasenov (on loan from Tengri) was the hero for Gambit in the series, posting an overall 63/48 KD and 94.6 average damage per round (ADR), both game-highs.The climactic rematchWith Gambit and Renegades both making their way to the grand finals, it ended up being a rematch of the winners match of Group B from Thursday. Given the fact that Renegades won that game on Cache, Gambit was sure to ban that map away at the first possible chance. This left the teams to square off on Nuke for the first game. Gambit got off to a quick 12-3 start, but it wouldnt be an easy win. Renegades made a big second-half surge by getting all the way to 12 rounds before ultimately falling 16-12.The action moved over to Cobblestone for Game 2, with Gambit again getting off to a nice start, taking a 10-5 lead into the half. Renegades tried its best to mount a semblance of a comeback in the second half, but it wasnt able to even muster up the same amount of effort it did in Game 1. Renegades won five rounds, but Gambit got the six it needed to lock up the game and the tournament. HObbit was once again the hero for Gambit in this series, posting a 52/31 KD and a 100.1 ADR.With a wins against respected teams like OpTic Gaming and Cloud9, Gambit certainly earned its win at DreamHack Winter. Since the team will not participating in ELeague Season 2, it will have to wait until the ELeague Major in January for its next crack at some good competition.Vapormax China Paypal .

The Hall of Fame defenceman told Landsberg that he believes fighting still has a place in todays game, but thinks staged fighting needs be outlawed.BAGNERES-DE-LUCHON, France -- Defending champion Chris Froome took his rivals by surprise with a daring downhill attack that earned him the race leaders yellow jersey on the eighth stage of the Tour de France on Saturday.Leading at the top of the final climb of the Tours second Pyrenean stage, a tough 184-kilometer ride from Pau to Bagneres-de-Luchon, he attacked when least expected on the grueling Col de Peyresourde.It surprised myself too, this was the first time in my career that I attacked in a downhill, I did not believe I was able to win like this, said Froome, who used a left jab to push aside a fan running too close to him before his stunning descent.In his two wins at cyclings biggest event, in 2013 and 2015, the 31-year-old Team Sky leader had asserted his authority on the race in the first mountain-top finish.Given that track record, the other leading contenders didnt expect Froome to make a move before Sundays stage to the ski resort of Andorre-Arcalis.It really was just a bit of a gamble, Froome. I thought, `I feel good, I want to give this a try, and I would like to see if this pays off. And Im glad it did.Thanks to the hard work of his teammates at the front of the peloton in the four major climbs of the day, Froome arrived in perfect condition at Peyresourde. After a first attack by Frenchman Romain Bardet fizzled out, Froome counterattacked but failed to drop Nairo Quintana in the first skirmishes among the leading contenders.The climb was also marked by Froomes spat with the spectator, who got a little too close for comfort.Tour spokesman Fabrice Tiano said later that the race jury had met and decided to fine Froome 200 Swiss francs ($203) for inappropriate behavior.Then Froome went all out in the downhill, reaching speeds close to 90 kilometers per hour. The style remained unorthodox, but it was brilliantly efficient.Crouched over his handlebars for extra aerodynamics, he opened a 20-second lead and used his time trial qualities to resist the chase, posting a sixth career stage win on the Tour.It scared me, Team Sky director Dave Brailsford said. Today he won the race rather than the other losing it. He is a true racer.Tour director Christian Prudhomme was also among those praising Froomes unexpected move, lauding his great panache.Its not the kind of praise Froome is used to getting, having often been criticized in the French media for his riding style, despite having won the Tour twice.The other bad news for his rivals in 2016 wass the impressive collective strength displayed by Sky.dddddddddddd The British outfit set the pace at the front and prevented Froomes challengers from trying their luck in hot temperatures, and increased the tempo on the final climb.This big Sky team made our life tough, said Bardet, who lags 23 seconds behind Froome overall, in the same time as Quintana, Fabio Aru and Tejay Van Garderen. And we saw a great Chris Froome, who deserves his victory.Froome gritted his teeth as he crossed the line, raising both arms in celebration then pumping his right fist emphatically.Dan Martin, an Irish rider with Etixx-Quick Step, won a sprint for second, crossing 13 seconds behind, and Joaquim Rodriguez, a Spaniard with Katusha, finished third.Froome leads fellow countryman Adam Yates and Rodriguez by 16 seconds in the overall standings.Although it did not feature a mountain-top finish, the stage took the peloton on a hard ride including the legendary Col du Tourmalet, a punishing 19-kilometer climb at an average gradient of 7.4 percent.After losing more than three minutes to the main contenders in Fridays first Pyrenean stage, Frenchman Thibaut Pinot attacked at the foothill of the mountain pass.Pinot was joined by Alberto Contadors Tinkoff teammate, Rafal Majka, and time trial specialist Tony Martin as riders climbed the Tourmalet for the 84th time in the Tours history.Pinot stepped up the pace in the final kilometer of climbing, cheered by fans lining the road, but was dropped in the Col de Val Louron-Azet. Movistar and Sky continued to push and Pinot couldnt match the frenetic pace imposed by the peloton, falling even further out of contention.After Martin and Majka were also reeled in, Michael Morkov became the first rider to abandon the race, a week after injuring his right leg in a crash during the first stage in Normandy.With all the favorites still together in the main pack, Team Sky riders Mikel Nieve and Geraint Thomas spent long spells at the front and led the peloton in the fast downhill where Wilco Kelderman crashed on a hairpin alongside his Lotto-Jumbo teammate George Bennett. Both men remounted and continued riding on the final ascent.Former Tour winner Alberto Contadors struggles continued and the Spaniard lost 1:41 to Froome, dropping to 20th overall, 3:12 back.---AP Sports Writer Andrew Dampf contributed to this report.
