In the second match of the day, Exodus took what was supposed to be a very close matchup vs Mock-it EU, but ended up being a very convincing 3-0, showing that Exodus can hang internationally.Winners Match 3 and 4 - Kings of Urban vs The Flying Dutchmen / iBuyPower Cosmic vs FlipSid3In what were both considered to be pretty one sided matches going in, we ended up seeing a huge upset and a wild game. Kings of Urban faced off against The Flying Dutchmen, and in the first shock of the day Kings got somewhat destroyed 3-1; the team didnt really look competitive in the set. The match of the day was iBuyPower Cosmic, the massive home favorites, facing off against the powerhouse FlipSid3. This set went to five games with some of the most exciting games ever seen in Rocket League. In the fifth game iBP managed to clutch it out and take the big win in this match.Winners Match 5 and 6 - iBuyPower vs The Flying Dutchmen / Northern Gaming vs ExodusThe semifinals featured a pair of dominant sweeps. With iBP and Northern Gaming sweeping The Flying Dutchmen and Exodus respectively. The games werent particularly close, either, with the stomps being rather conclusive of the favorites to win the tournament.Losers Match 1 and 2 - Mock-it EU vs Genesis / FlipSid3 vs Kings of UrbanGenesis decided that once they were in the bottom half it was time to show the world they could play by dropping two games to Mock-it EU before turning the series around to complete the reverse sweep. With that loss eliminating the boys from Mock-it we moved on to what was always going to be a saddening matchup, FlipSid3 vs Kings of Urban. With a slow start to the day, Kings completed the sad tale losing 3-1 and leaving the Rocket League Championship Series on a very low note.

Arsenal failed to take full advantage of its main rivals stumbles on Saturday as substitute Gerard Deulofeu levelled with a hard shot from a tight angle in the 84th minute to give Everton a deserved point. Ahead of a crucial fortnight that will see them play against Napoli in the Champions League, Manchester City and Chelsea, Arsenal leads by five points ahead of Liverpool and Chelsea. ANDORRA LA VELLA, Andorra -- Chris Froome is finally receiving acclaim from fans alongside the roads of the Tour de France.The British rider with Team Sky has been widely applauded and even lauded for his panache after pulling off a surprise downhill attack to take the yellow jersey.Its quite a turnaround from last year, when Froome was booed, spat upon, and had urine thrown on him.Certainly. The atmosphere out on the road has been fantastic, Froome said on Monday on the races first rest day. The crowds have been great, none of that silly nonsense that we had last year at all so far. I hope it stays that way.When Froome won the Tour in 2013 and 2015, he was not only suspected of doping, but also criticized for riding in an overly calculated manner with little creativity. That changed with Saturdays daring descent and stage win in the Pyrenees.My main focus is obviously the race. But if its entertaining at the same time then great, Froome said. Im not going to change my racing just for entertainment stake. Im going to do whatever I can to try and win the race.Froome holds a 16-second lead over fellow British rider Adam Yates, and is 19 seconds ahead of Dan Martin of Ireland. His main rival, two-time runner-up Nairo Quintana of Colombia, is fourth, only 23 seconds back.The only major incident involving Froome so far came when a fan running alongside the road got too close during Saturdays eighth stage. Froome responded by landing a left jab to the spectators face.The race jury fined Froome 200 Swiss francs ($203) for inappropriate behavior.I accept it. ... I felt it was the right thing to do, Froome said. He was dangerous at that moment. There have been quite a few incidents with fans in the past few days. Thats just part of the sport, I guess.Another issue that has become part of the sport recently is concern over mechanical doping.Femke Van Den Driessche of Belgium was banned from cycling for six years after a motor was found in her bike at the womens world under-23 cyclo-cross race in January. And in April, French television program Stade 2 claimed to have detected widespread mechanical doping at two Italian races by using roadside thermal cameras.The UCI, cyclings govering body, responded by checking hundreds of bikkes at the Tour with thermal imaging equipment.

We actually got an email from the UCI yesterday saying thank you for being the most cooperative team out of everybody in the bike checks.If someone is stupid enough to have the idea of coming here with a motor in their bike, for sure theyll get caught, Brailsford added. The whole discussion about bikes and motors is becoming -- given the level of testing -- something that we need to maybe just reconsider slightly.Froome, meanwhile, seems more focused following the birth of his son, Kellan, in December.Its given me a lot of added motivation, he said. Its given me a lot more energy just for life in general. I love to think of him looking back on these years, when he gets a little bit older and understands it all, and being proud of his old man.The Tours next mountain-top finish comes in Stage 12 on Thursday at the legendary Mont Ventoux, on Bastille Day.Froome was the stage winner when the Tour last scaled Ventouxs barren, 1,909-meter (6,263-foot) peak in 2013.Ventoux was also the site of an epic contest between Lance Armstrong and Marco Pantani in 2000, and where British rider Tom Simpson died in 1967 after he used a lethal cocktail of amphetamines and alcohol.When I got to the top last time I had to get on oxygen support, I was so tired, Froome said. Its one of the most iconic climbs. To win up there again would be unreal, out of this world.Its going to be interesting to see whos really going to go that deep for the victory there, or are people going to be waiting a little bit knowing theres a time trial the next day? Froome wondered.The race heads to the Alps in the third week, with a rare mountain time trial wedged in between several more grueling Alpine stages.Thats where, Froome said, the race will be won or lost.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter:
