The North America League of Legends Championship Series (NA LCS) semifinals began with Cloud9 against Immortals. Just a few short weeks ago, Cloud9 was not a team that many thought could compete on even footing with Immortals. However, this matchup was essentially a pick em. The strength of Immortals came from the superior duo of Kim Reignover Yeu-jin and Heo Huni Seong Hoon, while Cloud9s core was the sublime play of Nicolaj Jensen Jensen and Zachary Sneaky Scuderi. It would take the entire five game series to determine the victor, but ultimately Cloud9 closed it out 3-2, advancing to the NA LCS finals.It was a back-and-forth affair and both lineups flashed brilliance, but Cloud9s tenacity carried the day. Whether it was a macro plan or a teamfight game plan, Cloud9 proved it could play whatever the opponent drafted. Its difficult to pinpoint a weakness for this upstart team and their versatility should be a real strength entering the finals.Immortals relied heavily on the early play of both Reignover and Huni and it paid off often, but a lack of a consistent secondary source of damage and carry ability cost them. Unfortunately, they cracked under the pressure. Huni and Eugene Pobelter Park were notably picked off repeatedly in critical moments and Cloud9 took advantage of every mistake. On the other side, Jensen was incredible in defeat and better in victory; Sneaky was the perfect complement in teamfights and damage distribution and far outpaced his opposition. Jensens play and form plant him firmly in contention for being the best mid laner in North America. Hes certainly the Cloud9 rosters biggest strength. Tuukka Rask Jersey .

I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. Milan Lucic Jersey . Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable. Tuukka Rask Bruins Jersey . The Swede became the first golfer to win the PGA Tours FedEx Cup and European Tours Race to Dubai in the same season. "It is still taking a little time to sink in what Ive achieved this week as was the case when I won the FedEx Cup but then it just kept getting better and better as the days went on and I am sure this will be the same," he said. TAMPA, Fla. -- Two weeks after looking like an offensively challenged team staring at a potentially long season, the Los Angeles Rams are off to their best start in 10 years.Theyve even got some touchdowns to show for the progress theyve made since being shut out in their first game after relocating back to the West Coast after a 21-year stay in St. Louis.All I know is we got Arizona at Arizona next week, coach Jeff Fisher said after Sundays 37-32 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. None of them are easy, but well take it.Case Keenum threw for the franchises first TD as the L.A. Rams since 1994 , and Robert Quinn tackled Jameis Winston from behind 5 yards short of the end zone on the games final play to seal the teams second straight win.In between, Todd Gurley scored on a pair of 1-yard runs, Ethan Westbrooks returned a fumble caused by Quinn 77 yards for a TD, Tavon Austin made a nice nifty move to turn a deep throw into a 43-yard scoring play, and the Rams (2-1) even weathered a 69-minute delay caused by a thunderstorm passing over Raymond James Stadium.I think we are in a good spot, Keenum said. I think we are getting better each week, which is what you want to do.Tampa Bay (1-2), meanwhile, has lost two straight since Winstons sparkling performance in a season-opening win over Atlanta.Winston threw for 405 yards and three touchdowns, but looked tentative on the games last play. He never took off full speed and was wrestled down after a 10-yard gain.The Bucs have yielded 101 points through three games, and the defense gave up two more plays of 40-plus yards against the Rams.The lesson our team has to learn -- every week is a battle. Our culture is not where it needs to be. ... I put that squarely on my shoulders, Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said.Theres something about our culture that let games like this get away, Koetter added. Weve got to get over that hump.Some things to know about the Rams and Bucs moving forward:RESiLiENT BUNCH: The Rams were far from perfect against the Buccaneers. Keenum threw a first-quarter interceptiion that was returned by linebacker Kwon Alexander for a touchdown, and Kenny Britts second-quarter fumble led to another Tampa Bay TD.dddddddddddd. Los Angeles wasnt fazed, though, and forced a couple of turnovers -- ex-Buc Mark Barrons second quarter interception and Quinns fourth quarter, sack/strip that caused the fumble Westbrooks scooped up -- to score themselves.Turnovers hurt us early, but we go get two big plays on defense ... and that kind of balanced things out, Fisher said.WIDE LEFT: Bucs rookie kicker Roberto Aguayo had a tough day and may be a hot topic of conversation as the team prepares to face defending Super Bowl champion Denver next Sunday. The second-round draft pick out of Florida State struggled early in the preseason, hooked an extra-point to the left after Tampa Bays first touchdown and later missed a 41-yard field goal attempt wide left, drawing boos from the announced crowd of 55,009. The team has drawn some criticism for the decision to use such a high draft pick to select a kicker. If he makes the two kicks he missed Sunday, the argument could be made that the Bucs could have employed different strategy and/or might not have needed a touchdown at the end to win.Times like this are going to happen, Aguayo said, adding his confidence isnt shaken. Im excited for next week, to move on.BACK ON TRACK?: Los Angeles RB Todd Gurley rushed for 1,106 yards and 10 TDs as a rookie a year ago, however he averaged just 2.7 yards per attempts while running for 98 yards on 36 carries in the Rams first two games. He was more effective Sunday, even though he only averaged 3.1 yards on his way to 85 yards on 28 carries.Hes not there yet, but not because of Todd Gurley personally, Fisher said, adding the team has to do a better job converting third downs and doing other things to create more opportunities for the second-year pro.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
