Only three teams remained in the StarLadder i-League StarSeries Season 2 finals at the start of the fourth day, and by the end, only one would claim the top prize. Natus Vincere, Fnatic and Team Secret -- all three have tickets punched for The International 6, and a win at StarLadder would mean a huge boost headed into Seattle.While Team Secret secured a grand finals berth in Saturdays upper bracket final, NaVi and Fnatic had one final best-of-three to play to determine who would advance. Despite the two teams being in relatively even standing, NaVi looked dominant over Fnatic in the series. Mirana was the key in both games, used by both Danil Dendi Ishutin in the first game and Victor GeneRaL Nigrini in the second game. NaVi secured the 2-0 and a second chance at beating Secret, this time in the grand finals.The first game saw Natus Vincere struggle to find ground against an aggressive Team Secret. While NaVi found a few early kills on Johan pieliedie ?str?m, Jacky EternaLEnVy Mao and Artour Arteezy Babaev both got off the ground quickly and never let up. Team Secret took a series of kills on Nigrinis Beastmaster and never let Dmitry Ditya Ra Minenkov get his Weaver pick off the ground, eventually ending in a first game win for Secret.NaVi swung back harder in the second game off a surprisingly conservative lineup. Usually known for early aggression, Minenkovs Terrorblade signaled a shift to a late-game push. Secret attempted to adapt, putting a great deal of early pressure on NaVi and shoving all five back onto their high ground. Team Secret could never put the final nail in the coffin though, and NaVi pushed back to bring the series to an even 1-1.The third game saw more explosive Mirana play, this time on Babaev, who found key eliminations across the map. The overall lineup of Secret couldnt match Arteezy, though, and Minenkovs Ember Spirit gradually pulled NaVi ahead as the game went on, securing enough advantage to go high ground and take the series advantage, putting it to 2-1 and match point for NaVi.A draft stage advantage in the fourth game put NaVi ahead from the start, where a surprise last-pick Huskar for Minenkov threw Secret for a loop. In combination with some excellent Shadow Shaman play from Ivan artstyle Antonov, the early aggression NaVi is known for shone, completely shutting down Maos Morphling and any hopes of victory. Pushing down two barracks in short order, Team Secret tapped out in just 18 minutes, ending the series 3-1. Natus Vincere took home the StarSeries cup, some prize money and the confidence gained in its first LAN victory of 2016. Adidas Nmd Cs1 Pas Cher . Malkin got tangled up with Detroits Luke Glendening early in the third period and his left skate took the brunt of collision with the boards behind Pittsburghs net.

The Australian is competing in his final season in Formula One and still looking for his first win this year. He will look to end Vettels run of six straight race wins on Sunday.

John Lucas, signed as a mentor for rookie Trey Burke, showed he can score if required, scoring 12 points of his 16 points in the second quarter as Utah built an 18-point lead. DEL MAR, Calif. -- It took a little more than two minutes for California Chrome to dominate Beholder, Dortmund, and Hoppertunity on Saturday in the Pacific Classic at Del Mar, but the ramifications of his overpowering victory may be felt for the next two months.While California Chrome is headed to the $6 million Breeders Cup Classic on Nov. 5 at Santa Anita, with a possible prep in the Grade 1, $300,000 Awesome Again at Santa Anita on Oct. 1, Beholders year-end goal may now be the $2 million Breeders Cup Distaff on Nov. 4, while Dortmunds and Hoppertunitys connections were plotting their next moves after being no match on Saturday for California Chrome.California Chrome won the Pacific Classic by five lengths over Beholder and received a Beyer Speed Figure of 113, equaling his career best, earned when third in the 2014 Breeders Cup Classic.Hes so much stronger. Hes in the best part of his career now, Art Sherman, who trains California Chrome, said at his Del Mar barn on Sunday morning. Its kinda awesome to watch.Youve got the best horses in the country. These races are tougher, Sherman said, comparing the current campaign to when California Chrome was 3. I think hes the best horse in the world, not that I might be biased.California Chrome left Del Mar on Sunday morning for his regular base at Los Alamitos. There is a $1 million bonus for a horse who can win the Pacific Classic, Awesome Again, and Breeders Cup Classic, but Sherman said that would have no impact on whether he goes in the Awesome Again.Hell be ready, Sherman said. Id be fine going into the Breeders Cup Classic fresh.There are six weeks to the Awesome Again, then five more to the Breeders Cup Classic.The timing is right. Well see how he recovers, Sherman said. He came out of the race good. He was super after the race.With his Pacific Classic victory, California Chhrome earned a fees-paid berth to the Breeders Cup Classic through the Win and Youre In program.dddddddddddd He is 5 for 5 this year, and is the clear front-runner for Horse of the Year, a title he won in 2014.Trainer Richard Mandella said Beholder, who finished second, came out of the race real good.No way Im anything but proud of her, Mandella said Sunday morning. She beat some pretty nice horses. She ran well enough to win most Classics, but not that one. The winner ran awesome.Mandella said Beholder would point to the Grade 1, $300,000 Zenyatta Stakes at Santa Anita on Oct. 1 as her next start. Beholder has won that race, which is restricted to females, the last three years.Mandella said he would decide later whether to go in the Classic or the Distaff after the Zenyatta, but said, as of now Id probably be conservative and aim at the Distaff.Beholder won the Distaff in 2014, also at Santa Anita. She was scratched from last years Classic at Keeneland -- in which she would have faced Triple Crown winner American Pharoah -- when she took ill with a lung infection two days before the race.Dortmund, who was third in the Pacific Classic, and Hoppertunity, who was fourth, both also were fine Sunday morning, according to trainer Bob Baffert. He said the race was over the first eighth of a mile, when jockey Victor Espinoza aggressively sent California Chrome from his rail draw and secured the lead.Victor put the shock and awe at the beginning. That was it, Baffert said.Baffert said hed wait a bit before deciding on a race schedule for Dortmund and Hoppertunity this fall.My horses fired, Baffert said. The other horse was too good. He was the better horse. Sometimes youve got to say you got your ass beat. ' ' '
