At The Brooklyn Beatdown, a Street Fighter V tournament taking place during ESL One in New York, top players are battling it out over a massive $75,000 prize pool. Cheap Jeff Keppinger Jersey .Tucked away in a small gymnasium under the massive Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament above in the Barclays Center, the relatively small 256-player tournament has attracted some of the best players in the world. With such a small competitor count, every pool is stacked with a few top players, making this one of the most top-heavy Street Fighter tournaments to date.Due to the massive prize pool and abundance of top talent, ESL One has become a mini-Evolution Championship Series, i.e., the years largest and most prestigious fighting game tournament. All the top talent is here, so Im pretty excited to see how it turns out, said Team Liquids Du NuckleDu Dang. Much of Asias top talent has flown out as well, including Evolution 2016 Champion Lee RZR Infiltration Seon-Woo and Red Bulls Daigo The Beast Umehara.The pools are so stacked, said Flipside Tactics Antoine F3 Alucard Ortiz. Its just like, Man, like we could have accepted more players so the pools wouldnt have to be this dreadful. Considering how small the gymnasium-turned-venue is, NuckleDu said, I think it got capped because it was probably a fire hazard.While Street Fighter is completely new to ESL One, its still odd that such an elite tournament is taking place in such a small space. But legendary fighting game player Justin JWong Wong from Evil Geniuses is not deterred. If you think about it, we have to earn our right to be on the stage, said Wong. We cant be entitled to play in the arena if we cant prove we deserve to be in the arena.That doesnt mean that the Street Fighter tournament will stay in its cozy digs for the whole event, as the Grand Finals will take place on the main stage Sunday after the CS:GO semi-finals.As for the tournament itself, Americans are worried most about their Asian competition. Because chances to battle Asian players are limited for Americans, it can be hard to adapt mid-tournament. American plays a bit too offensive, [while] Japan is more footsie-based, said F3 Alucard. They make much better decisions in clutch [situations] ... and they like to play with minimal mistakes.But the biggest topic of discussion by far has been the tournament schedule. At most fighting game tournaments, Saturday goes through the top 16 and top eight is reserved for Sunday. That is not the case for ESL One. On Saturday, Street Fighter played all the way through semifinals, reserving grand finals for Sunday on the main stage. With all the top players having suffered through an intense travel schedule to attend, running through essentially an entire tournament in one day is tiring. Since I have to place today, I have to bring out the last ounce of strength I have to make sure I do really well, said Jwong.With a packed tournament schedule and so much on the line, The Brooklyn Beatdown is attracting intense scrutiny in the Street Fighter community as Decembers Capcom Cup championship looms.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- For the third time in three games, Navy will have a different starting quarterback operating the complex triple option.Keenan Reynolds capped off last season in his final game at Navy. Tago Smith replaced the record-setting QB last week against Fordham in the season opener and lasted into the second quarter before a torn ACL ended his season.Now, 6-foot-1 senior Will Worth is poised to make his first career start Saturday against Connecticut (1-0).Will is ready. Hes persevered and improved to the point he was the clear-cut No. 2, Navy offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper said. Now Will is the starting quarterback and all eyes are on him. Im pretty sure he didnt want to get the job this way, but thats football.Worth was a third-stringer in 2015 and did not see any action at quarterback. He did play in all 13 games as a holder on kicks, and garnered two games of experience in his first two years at Navy.Ive got big shoes to fill with Keenan being gone and Tago getting injured, Worth said. I definitely put a lot of responsibility on myself to keep this thing running.---Some things to look for when Navy (1-0) and Connecticut square off in the American Athletic Conference opener for both schools.STOPPING THE OPTION: Connecticut coach Bob Diaco has significant experience going against the Navy triple-option. Diaco served as defensive coordinator at Notre Dame from 2010-13, so this is the sixth straight season he has game-planned for the Midshipmen. Coach Diaco is one of the best defensive minds in the country and knows exactly what hes doing with his game-plan, Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. His teams are always well-prepared, assignment sound and dialed into what they do. That being said, Navy rushed for 303 yards in last years 28-18 win over the Huskies.FAMILY TIES: Tom Forrestal was the starting quarterback and offensive captain of the 1957 Navy football team that posted a 9-1-1 record and defeated Rice, 20-7, in the Cotton Bowl. Cheap Luis Aparicio Jersey. John Jack Shirreffs Jr. was an outstanding end on tha team. Their grandsons will be on opposite sides on Saturday. Patrick Forrestal is the starting nose guard for Navy and Bryant Shirreffs is the starting quarterback for Connecticut.HIGH TIMES: Chris High had an impressive debut as starting fullback for Navy, rushing for 176 yards on just 10 carries. The 6-foot, 224-pound junior averaged 17.6 yards per carry and broke loose for a 70-yard touchdown. High was the backup entering preseason camp, but moved up when projected starter Shawn White suffered an ankle injury. The Oklahoma City native excelled in the No. 1 role and White could not get the job back after returning to practice.WINNING STREAK: Navy has won 11 straight games in Annapolis and is closing in on a record wins at home. The Midshipmen won 21 straight home games from 1953 through 1964, but only 13 of those came after construction of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Beating Connecticut on Saturday and Houston on Oct. 18 would tie the record for most consecutive victories at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. The Midshipmen could potentially break the mark against Memphis on Oct. 22.SERIES HISTORY: Navy leads the series with Connecticut, 7-1. This is the first time the Huskies have come to Annapolis since 2002, when they shut out the Midshipmen 38-0. That was one of the worst offensive performance Navy had under former head coach Paul Johnson. The Midshipmen managed just 82 total yards -- 47 passing and 35 rushing.---AP college football site: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
