Evil Geniuses are the victors of the 2016 MarsTV Dota 2 League Autumn tournament after defeating Newbee in a 3-1 series on Sunday. The team takes home $112,500 for their first-place finish, and a boost of confidence to start the 2017 season.The newly formed EG squad, headed by former OG support Andreas Cr1t- Nielsen, was in the rough after a loss to Newbee in the winners finals. To earn a rematch and shot at the top, Nielsen would have to lead the new EG against his former team OG. After beating OG in a 2-1 series, Evil Geniuses got a chance to redeem themselves against Newbee.In the first game, Nielsen and the team made a statement in allowing Invoker through the draft. Song Sccc Chun, Newbees mid laner brought up from its starter squad, put on an Invoker clinic against EG in the winners finals. Though the first match was dead-even in the midgame, closing out at only a 0.5 percent gold differential, EG held out on the back of Syed Suma1L Hassans incredible Mirana and some heavy support from Nielsen and Ludwig zai Wahlberg.Game 2 saw EG further the advantage, putting Newbee on match point off more impressive play from Hassan and Artour Arteezy Babaev, with the latter finding his footing on a signature Ursa draft. Newbee looked scattered in Game 2, struggling to find any momentum.The Chinese squad struck back in Game 3, however, pressuring a greedy Drow draft with a dual core Mirana-Luna lineup and snowballing off captain Hu Kaka Liangzhis Bounty Hunter roam.With momentum shifting in Newbees direction, Nielsen drafted a strange lineup for Game 4. Hassan took Medusa to the middle lane, while Babaev took the hard-swinging Sven, with Wahlberg in tow on Wisp. While Babev is likely best-known for getting stuck in trees as Sven, he has a 64 percent career win-rate on the hero, and Wahlberg has a 61 percent win-rate on Wisp. The duo had a stellar performance, alongside Saahil UNiVeRsE Arora, putting insane pressure on Newbees safe-lane Lifestealer.Evil Geniuses took the series 3-1, redeeming themselves for the winners finals loss and making EG the first winners of an international Dota 2 LAN in the 2017 season. The boys in blue will get a quick respite to enjoy the victory before moving on to the DreamLeague Season 6 League Play to face a spurned OG starting Oct. 10. Wholesale Chargers Jerseys China .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Katie Ledecky came into the Rio Olympics facing enormous expectations.Some athletes mightve buckled under the pressure.She seemed to thrive on it.The 19-year-old from suburban Washington capped off one of the greatest performances in Olympic history with her fourth gold medal and second world record, shattering her own mark in the 800-meter freestyle Friday night.I just wanted to lay it all out there, Ledecky said.She certainly did that.And more.Ledecky and Debbie Meyers are now the only female swimmers to sweep the three longest freestyle races. Meyers took the 200, 400 and 800 at Mexico City in 1968.She also followed fellow swimmers Amy Van Dyken and Missy Franklin as the only American women to win as many as four golds in a single Olympics. Along with her individual golds, Ledecky also topped the podium with the 4x200 relay.I hit all my goals right on the nose this week, Ledecky said. Im just proud to be part of that history.Four years ago, she seemingly came out nowhere to capture gold as a 15-year-old at the London Games. Then, after her coach moved to the West Coast, Ledecky hooked up with Bruce Gemmell and never missed a beat.She called it a testament to the vision that Bruce and I had three years ago when we set these goals, and we werent going to stop until we met them.As was the case in the 400 free,, where she also broke her own world record, Ledecky was merely racing the clock as she powered away from the field to touch in 8 minutes, 4.dddddddddddd.79 seconds, eclipsing the mark of 8:06.68 that she set at a grand prix meet in Texas back in January.The goal was 8:05 or better, she said.Naturally, she was better.Then, Ledecky played the waiting game, hanging on the rope for a while to let the rest of the field finish.Jazz Karlin finally touched in 8:16.17 to claim the silver, just ahead of Hungarys Boglarka Kapas grabbing the bronze in 8:16.37.Some 23 seconds after Ledecky touched the wall, the last of the eight finalists chugged to the end of the grueling race.Ledecky was barely breathing hard.On the medal stand, though, the emotions swept over her.She broke down in tears, relishing her accomplishments and surely thinking about all the work she put in to make it there.The Olympics are the pinnacle of our sport and I have to wait another four years to have that moment and I just wanted to enjoy it, Ledecky said. The memories mean more than the medals to me.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 . His work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/paul-newberry .
