Beginning on Thanksgiving, eight Counter-Strike: Global Offensive teams from across the globe will compete at DreamHack Winter in J?nk?ping, Sweden for their share of a $100,000 prize pool. Discount Vans Australia .While many of these teams are not among the most well-known or successful teams in 2016, which is in theme with DreamHacks open tournaments throughout the course of the year, several of its invitees have had recent success, making the tournament more competitive and a spectacle to watch while eating turkey with loved ones.Groups and schedule for DreamHack ZOWIE Open at DreamHack Winter this week:https://t.co/k97a0nCSV5 pic.twitter.com/LQ84G4k1Ja- DreamHack Open (@DreamHackOpen) November 21, 2016Danish WonderDespite a sloppy finish at ESL Pro League finals last month, Team Dignitas cemented itself as one of the best Counter-Strike teams in the world. Their first place at Epicenter in Moscow in mid-October and recent first place in their ELeague group shows that the Danish squad is more than capable of taking home the title, likely as the tournament favorite, at DreamHack Winter.Eighteen-year-old star Emil Magiskb0Y Reif has been on fire in recent events, fragging heavily for the team and presenting a true threat against opponents. The remainder of the team, a mix of mostly young talent and Danish veteran René cajunb Borg, has also stepped up to provide a well-rounded system.With their recent titles and strong showings, this iteration of Team Dignitas looks to outperform the orgs former lineup, which moved on to Team SoloMid and later Astralis last year. And its already started. Overall, Dignitas has overcome its Danish brethren Astralis and Heroic, cementing itself atop the scene, which has produced a plethora of European Counter-Strike talent, second only to Sweden.North American HopeWith Cloud9s big win at the ESL Pro League finals in October and OpTic Gamings first place finish at Northern Arena Montreal on Nov. 13, DreamHack Winter could again mark a tournament win for North America. Many analysts believe that at a top level performance, North Americas teams -- whether it be Cloud9, OpTic or Team Liquid -- perform better than they ever have in the history of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.Their problem, however, is consistency. Prior to ESL Pro League finals, Cloud9 was unexpectedly eliminated from ELeague Season 2 in a group with mousesports and a freshly restructured FaZe Clan. And at Intel Extreme Masters Oakland last weekend, the team was eliminated from its group after losses to FaZe, Ninjas in Pyjamas and SK Gaming, the latter two being finalists in the event.OpTic has had its own struggles, despite an upward trend at offline events since the addition of Tarik tarik Celik. The win at Northern Arena, where it beat G2 Esports and Heroic in the finals, as well as second to Team Dignitas in their ELeague group, also show theyre capable of winning a small international like this.Something to ProveComing into the event, two teams have something to prove more than the others.Those teams are GODSENT and Gambit Gaming.For GODSENT -- the Swedish team thats just as confused, conflicted and incohesive as Fnatic -- the team needs to show a good performance at this eight-team event. In late October, they made yet another swap: Jonas Lekr0 for Olofsson Freddy KRiMZ Johansson. Whats changed is the team no longer holds a spot in the ELeague Major and will need to qualify in the heavily stacked qualifier in December. DreamHack Winter provides GODSENT the opportunity to warm up for that offline event as they face three teams: Dignitas, Cloud9 and OpTic Gaming, teams theyll likely face in the Major qualifier.Gambit Gaming also has something to prove at this event. The team made two roster moves in the beginning of October, adopting former Natus Vincere in-game leader, veteran Daniil Zeus Teslenko and Tengri rifler, younggun Abay HObbit Khasenov, the latter via a six month loan agreement. That team does not have to play the major qualifier and will instead be automatically seeded into the major groups because of their top eight finish at the last major, ESL One Cologne 2016. DreamHack Winter finally gives the new Gambit Gaming an opportunity to show teams what theyre capable of in a more competitive offline setting aside from that of the Esports World Convention in late October. Discount Air Max 90 Australia . Miller reached right to deflect Mikhail Grabovskis attempt with just over 2 minutes remaining in regulation, and then made two more saves in the shootout Sunday to give the Sabres a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals. Discount Shoes Australia .875,000, avoiding arbitration. Clippards deal Monday means all eight Nationals players who filed for arbitration wound up settling before a hearing. http://www.discountaustraliashoes.com/cheap-air-max-1-fake.html . Paul Pierce couldnt believe he missed at the end. Young scored a season-high 26 points to spark a huge effort from the leagues most productive bench, and Los Angeles beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-94 on Wednesday night after blowing a 27-point lead. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Alabama is reaching peak form just in time for its toughest test of the season.The top-ranked Crimson Tide dominated Tennessee 49-10 on Saturday to beat a ranked foe on the road for the second straight week. Alabama next returns home to face No. 6 Texas A&M (6-0, 4-0 SEC) in a game that could go a long way toward determining who represents the Western Division in the Southeastern Conference championship game.I think were going good right now, Alabama tight end O.J. Howard said.Thats a bit of an understatement.Alabama (7-0, 4-0) just delivered one of the most impressive single-game performances by any team all season. Tennessee, which slipped from ninth to 18th in the Top 25 released Sunday, was outgained 594-163 and outrushed 438-32 while dealing with multiple injuries on both sides of the ball.We said we wanted a complete game -- and they certainly did that, Alabama coach Nick Saban said.Indeed, Alabama dominated all phases of the game in the type of outing that should provide plenty of momentum heading into the Texas A&M showdown.The same defense that had yielded 473 yards in a 49-30 victory over Arkansas a week earlier never allowed Tennessee (5-2, 2-2) to move the ball. Tennessees lone touchdown came after the Volunteers recovered a fumble at Alabamas 11-yard line.Tide safety Eddie Jackson said the defense benefited from a meeting the secondary had held earlier in the week.We feel like we were letting the guys up front down, so we stepped it up in practice with one of our best weeks and prepared for this game, Jackson said.Saban noted that Alabama was particularly impressive in third-down defense, as Tennessee went just 3 of 16 in those situations. Alabama will need to continue that progress against a Texas A&M offense averaging an SEC-leading 532.8 yards per game.We havent played great on third down (or) as well as we thought we could this year, Saban said. But we did a great job today. I think that was a big point of emphasis for us going into this game. When you play these no-huddle, fastbaall teams, when you dont get off the field on third down, they have extended drives. Air Max 1 Fake. Players get tired. Thats when they get rolling, thats (when) they create momentum.Alabamas defense stopped big plays but continued producing them. Ronnie Harrisons 58-yard interception return was the Tides eighth defensive touchdown of the season. Jackson added a 79-yard punt return for Alabamas 11th non-offensive touchdown of the year.On offense, freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts continues to show remarkable poise in big-game situations. The same guy who orchestrated victories at Mississippi and Arkansas earlier this year ran for 132 yards and three touchdowns against Tennessee.He looks like a junior or senior out there sometimes, Alabama defensive end Dalvin Tomlinson said.Tomlinson says practicing against Hurts all week helps prepare Alabamas defense for mobile quarterbacks. That work paid off Saturday as Tennessees Joshua Dobbs threw for just 92 yards and was sacked three times and held to minus-31 yards on seven carries.Hurts helped Alabama produce its highest single-game rushing total in 30 years Saturday. Bo Scarbrough gained 109 yards -- including an 85-yard touchdown -- and Damien Harris ran for 94 yards. Alabama averaged 8.5 yards per carry thanks to a team effort, as the backs continually benefited from the downfield blocking of the receiving corps.The next step for Hurts is to develop into a more consistent passer. Hurts was 16 of 26 for 143 yards with an interception against Tennessee. He also had a fumble on a sack that led to Tennessees only touchdown.Weve just got to keep on improving in the passing game and get Jalen comfortable because when we play really good teams, some of these runs arent going to be quite so easy and the plays that are there to be made in the passing game, were going to need to make them, Saban said.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
