Its the first day of the worlds largest fighting game tournament, the Evolution Championship Series, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Quenton Nelson Jersey . Nearly 15,000 competitors have gathered to compete in nine different fighting games, with over 2,300 of them competing in Super Smash Bros. Melee.In a sea full of people, there stands a man with a Pikachu hat and an Arizona flag on his back. Jeffrey Axe Williamson is a legend, someone whos been on top of the Super Smash Bros. scene since his first national, Genesis, in 2009. With Pikachu by his side, Axe cemented himself as the ninth best Smash player in the world last year, according to Super Smash Bros. content and analysis site Melee It On Mes SSBM Rank.At Evo 2016, he looks to win it all, something thats never too far out of his reach. Hes been close before, taking fourth at Genesis 3 and fifth at Community Effort Orlando 2016, and he believes that Evo will be his time to shine, albeit not on Fox.I think [I have a shot to win this tournament.] Ive already beaten most of [the gods] a couple of times in the past, and a couple this year and I feel like its really doable, Axe tells ESPN.com. I just have to be super on point and I cant be stopped. I know that for sure. Even losers bracket Mango or beast mode Armada, I feel like I can take them to be honest. It takes a lot of preparation and mental power and just feeling well. Theres a lot of little factors I need to be on top of to perform my best.Fifth at CEO is a good indication that Axe can perform as expected, but at Evo, there are nearly 1,800 more players in attendance, in comparison to CEOs 683. Axe says that makes this event infinitely more difficult, and that to win it all, you have to play your best.This tournament has way more players [than CEO], so its going to be a lot harder because all of the top players are here minus Leffen and PPMD, he says. Its going to be very difficult still, but technically its kind of the same top players. More of the top 100 players are here than they were at CEO. A lot of the top 100 players still give me problems, so its going to be a lot more difficult overall, but I feel more ready than I did for CEO.At CEO, he fell to Justin Plup McGrath, another player within the Top 10, who like Axe, is considered a demigod. In Melee, there are five gods: Adam Armada Lindgren, Juan Hungrybox Debiedma, Kevin PPMD Nanney, Jason Mew2King Zimmerman, and Joseph Mango Marquez. Demigods are players within the top echelon who continuously challenge and at times beat the gods, or their counterpart William Leffen Hjelte.For the past few years, Axe, alongside names like Plup and Weston Westballz Dennis, have become demigods. But none have been able to take it all the way and win super majors, such as Evo, CEO, or Genesis. I ask Axe who is the next player to join the demigods.Normally, its a player thats not currently a top 100, he says. Its usually not a player whos at the top. Im looking at the players who are on the come up. Pretty much the players that come out of nowhere. Its those kind of players who surpass people and enter the top six.So if a new face breaks through, theyll need to beat the Top 10, which is currently not solidified in 2016. Axe, who was among the final list last year, thinks that a new player, Zac SFAT Cordoni, has entered the list, while the remainder of the list, besides DaJuan Shroomed McDaniel, stays the same.The top order is so confusing to order, but based off how good I think players are, I think Armada is the best. Hes number one. He just has the most skill, the most consistency, he explains. Hes crazy, hes a beast. Hungrybox has to be second at this point. Armada, Hungrybox, Mango, Leffen, Mew2King, PPMD, Plup, Axe, SFAT, and Westballz. Wes hasnt been doing so hot lately, but I know he has the skill. Hes hella good.Only one will be crowned the champion of Evo. That opens the field significantly for new people to break through, and Axe thinks as long as he beats Hungrybox and his consistent Jigglypuff, hell have his best shot. Its terrible [to play against Jigglypuff], Axe says. I hate it. I do want to beat Hungrybox really bad. Ive been watching our sets and its doable, so I have a few tricks up my sleeve for that.But above all, he believes that Mango will take the tournament, if he doesnt himself. A previous champion of Evo 2013 and 2014, Mango is favored to repeat and win Evo once again. Hes been outspoken about wanting it all, and practicing a ton to get there. Americas hometown hero has the best shot hes had in quite sometime.Id say Mango has a great shot at first. Mango wants it very badly, and I think that the only way for Mango to win is only if he goes absolute beast mode, Axe explains. The one trait Mango has that all of the other top players dont have, of the Top 6, is the ability to go in the zone, where he has absolute focus and everything is 100 percent different. I think hes going to take the tournament. Jack Doyle Jersey . -- Ken Appleby made 32 saves for his first shutout of the season to lead the Oshawa Generals to a 2-0 win over the Belleville Bulls on Wednesday in Ontario Hockey League action. Matthias Farley Jersey . Peter Holland and Brad Staubitz were sent to Toronto on Saturday as the Maple Leafs traded defenceman Jesse Blacker and draft picks to the Anaheim Ducks. http://www.coltsfansshop.com/Colts-Adam-Vinatieri-Draft-Jersey/ . -- Stanfords Kevin Danser knelt on one knee and hardly moved on the sideline as Michigan State celebrated its Rose Bowl victory and his Cardinal teammates made their way to the locker room.Daniil Kvyat can recover from losing his Red Bull seat and still enjoy successful years in F1, according to other drivers who rebounded from early career disappointments. Rival drivers have expressed sympathy for Kvyat, who was sent back to Toro Rosso with Max Verstappen going the other way to Red Bull for the remainder of the season.And although the 22-year-olds F1 career has hit its first stumbling block after a swift rise through the ranks, those who have expressed similar early setbacks have insisted the episode does not have to represent the beginning of the end for the Russians time at the top level. Force Indias Sergio Perez has rebuilt his reputation after being dropped by McLaren after a single season in 2013 and said Kvyat is a very strong driver, mentally as well, and he will overcome that impact for a driver.Christian Horner Q&AAsked how easy it would be for the Russian to recover, Perez replied: Its obviously very hard to do that. It was the same with me when McLaren dropped me. People suddenly stopped believing in me.People in F1 have very short memories. They wont remember his podiums or the great momentum he had at Toro Rosso, or why they chose him in the first place. They wont remember that, they will just remember that he didnt perform and they dropped him. Max Verstappen and Daniil Kvyat face the media after it was announced the pair would swap places between the Red Bull and Toro Rosso teams If he has to deliver results he will rebuild his reputation. If hes not with Red Bull, he might find another alternative in the future.Williams Felipe Massa, now one of the grids most experienced drivers, reverted to a test driver role with Ferrari for a season after his debut campaign racing for Sauber in 2002 ended with an abrupt contract termination.Kvyat shocked by Red Bull demotionThe 35-year-olld, who went on to win 11 grands prix and finish runner-up in the 2008 world championship, has urged Kvyat to keep believing in himself and follow the path of others. Pat McAfee Jersey. In Formula 1, its difficult to have a chance, so when you have one chance you need to prove yourself, Massa said.I did a good championship on my first year. I had one fifth [place], two sixths and lots of sevenths, which had no points at that time, so I did a good championship. I crashed a lot and Peter Sauber didnt like to see his car in the wall! I dont know why I lost my drive in the first year. Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton react to the news of Daniil Kvyat and Max Verstappens swap, and Hamilton says the swap isnt something hed have done The second chance in F1 is even more difficult. But it can happen - like it happened for me, for Fernando [Alonso], maybe Mika Hakkinen. You need to believe.Romain Grosjeans early years in F1 proved particularly tumultuous amid a series of crashes and the now Haas driver admits I was either going back home or getting my s*** together.Its great that Red Bull has got two teams, so you can swap drivers, he added. Daniil had only one year in Formula 1 and then went straight to Red Bull [in 2015] and only four more grands prix [this year]. Its the same with Max.I think its Franz [Tost, Toro Rossos team boss] who says you need three years to be up to and ready to go to a big team. Were all different and I think its kind of easier to start in a smaller team than a big team. Watch the Spanish GP live on Sky Sports F1.
