Just when it appeared as if his quest for a third Summoners Cup Final was finished following two heavy losses to both Samsung Galaxy and then-winless Splyce, Royal Never Give Ups ace, Jian Uzi Zi-Hao, pulled through with one of his all-time great Worlds performances. RNG was able to upend North Americas champion Team SoloMid to send them out of the tournament in front of their home crowd in San Francisco.While a majority of the NA fans sat quietly watching their champions underwhelm, despite lofty expectations, a sizable group of passionate Chinese fans stayed following the final Nexus smash to cheer their team onto the next round.ESPN talked to Uzi following his advancement to the quarterfinals in Chicago next week.Im superhappy to make it out of the group stage, Uzi said. After our first two games today we were actually upset. We didnt even think that there was a chance for us to make it out of groups anymore, so right now Im superexcited.When Uzi joined the Royal organization in 2013, he was seen as a wild puppy that the rest of his team members helped raise throughout the game, so he could eventually be the late-game mechanical carry that helped them make it to the Summoners Cup Finals that year.Three years since those days at his first Worlds, Uzi feels like hes become a different person with experience.I think now I am much more mature. Ive been playing more team-based than just showing off my individual skills. And also, back then, the meta was for individuals to [hard carry] but now its a team-based game so I think Ive grown a lot, Uzi said.When Royal fell earlier in the day to Splyce and Samsung Galaxy, the team kept its spirits high by talking with one another and not letting any of the team give in. Uzi said that it was not a single player that rallied the team for the TSM match but the entire team lifted each other up to make the bracket stage.In just terms of potential, this years Royal is going to have the highest [Ive ever played on], Uzi said. Everyone on the team is supergreat at what they do [best]. Theyre all great mechanical players. However, because were all great mechanical players ourselves, sometimes we all feel like we want to be the shining star of the team. That just means we need more time to cooperate with each other and having a working communication to reach even further than we have right now.I think the reason TSM lost against us is because they didnt pay too much attention to our bot-lane duo. For enemy teams, if they actually heavily focus on our bottom lane, itll give us a much harder chance to win. But [TSM] didnt do that, said Uzi.One player in the quarterfinals who has eye on Uzi is Europes H2k Gamings ace AD carry Konstantinos-Napoleon Forg1ven Tzortziou. Forg1ven told ESPN earlier in the tournament he was most impressed by Royals bottom lane, and he and Uzi shared a similar mentality for the game.Every game I play against RNG were both basically the same players, [Uzi and I]. Uzi will contend every single creep possible, and I will contend every single creep possible. So when we face against each other, I think we are both ready to commit our lives for every creep, said Forg1ven.Saturday night, Uzi responded by giving his thoughts on Forg1ven.So with H2k, weve actually played a lot of scrims against them, he said. At first, our bot lane always had an advantage, but as our scrims went on and the more games we played against H2k, I felt that Forg1ven is a player that has a very strong will and hes a really fast learner. He started learning how to play against us even when we picked [bottom lane] champions that are much stronger against their team comp. In the end, its starting to get much harder for us to get any advantage in the bot lane against them.I think Forg1ven is a superstrong player. He has a lot of great mechanical skills, and he is superfast learner, Uzi said.Finally, he wanted to address Forg1ven directly.If we do meet, I want to meet you at the final, Forg1ven, said Uzi. I do recognize you as a great opponent. [Also] youre a really friendly person. You added me in-game even though I dont speak English, and youll always say hi to me. But I do want to meet you in the finals.Tim Federowicz Jersey . The veteran safety was a starter for the Bengals from 2008-2012.

The nine-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks are positioning themselves for another title, as they have run out to a flawless 6-0 mark in conference play thus far.South Africa finisher Farhaan Behardien did the same job for his franchise, his 33-ball 65 leading Titans to their fourth successive victory in the T20 Challenge, beating Dolphins by 58 runs. After Behardiens seventh T20 fifty carried Titans to 185 for 4, seamer Junior Dala and legspinner Shaun von Berg threw the chase off the track with three-wicket hauls.Having been sent in, Titans sprinted to 42 for 0 in the Powerplay. Three overs later Imran Tahir provided Dolphins the breakthrough by pinning Grant Mokoena lbw for 25. Cameron Delport and Kyle Nipper then struck in successive overs to send back Jonathan Vandiar and Heinrich Klaasen, bringing Titans to 89 for 3 in 12 overs.Enter Behardien. He added 93 in 46 balls with Heino Kuhn to pull his team ahead. Kuhn was eventually run-out for 32 off 17 balls in the last over of the innings, but by then Titans had passed 180. Behardien stayed unbeaten with one four and four sixes.Chasing 186, Dolphins lost Delport early to Dala, but Morne van Wyk and Kevin Pietersen, who was playing his first T20 since picking up a calf injury in the IPL in April this year, gave Dolphins hope with a 44-run stand.But from the moment van Wyk fell for 41, Dolphins lost six wickets for 13 runs, with von Berg cutting through the middle order. Dala then returned to take care of the tail as Dolphins were restricted to 127 for 8. Pietersen scored 24 as only four Dolphins batsmen reached double figures and suffered their second loss in three matches.Christiaan Jonkers rapid 48 off 27 balls and three top-order wickets from Basheeru-Deen Walters set up Warriors 42-run win against Knights in Bloemfontein. A strong opening stand and Jonkers unbeaten knock led Warriors to 157 for 5 before Knights were bowled out for 115. Warriors are now placed second with two wins from three matches.Warriors openers JJ Smuts and Somila Seyibokwe capitalised on their decision to bat by putting up 47 runs in 5.5 overs. Seyibokwe fell for a 21-ball 299 before Smuts 38 off 29 led them almost to the halfway mark but Warriors soon lost three quick wickets.dddddddddddd Jonker, coming in at No. 5, then blasted four fours and two sixes to help Warriors score 51 off the last 35 balls.Defending 157, Walters gave Warriors an ideal start by removing the top three Knights batsmen for single-digit scores. Reeling at 23 for 3 in the fifth over, Knights saw some resistance from Rudi Second, Diego Rosier and Patrick Botha but Smuts left-arm spin accounted for two of them and Knights never recovered from there. Only one other batsman - Marchant de Lange - scored in double digits before Knights were bowled out in 18.2 overs. Walters finished with 3 for 16 while Smuts, Sisanda Magala and Andrew Birch took two each. Mangaliso Mosehles fifth T20 fifty helped Lions achieve a three-run Duckworth-Lewis win in a rain-hit match against Cape Cobras in Potchefstroom. Batting first, Lions reached 165 for 5 in 19.1 overs, thanks to wicketkeeper Mosehles 40-ball 58 and an unbeaten 20-ball 35 from Nicky van den Bergh from No. 6. Then came a rain interruption, which left Cape Cobras chasing a revised target of 70 in six overs.Richard Levi set the tone for the chase, hitting the first two balls for four and six before Hardus Viljoen bowled him off the fourth ball. With Wayne Parnell and Kieron Pollard continuing to find the boundary regularly, they reached 41 for 1 before Pollard holed out for 26 off 12 balls. Then a Parnell six off Eddie Leie left Cobras needing 21 off the last two overs.Aaron Phangiso sent down a tight fifth over, conceding five singles and a leg-bye, leaving 15 to get off the last over, bowled by Willem Mulder. Parnell hit another six to narrow the equation, and it came down to four runs required off the last ball before Willem Mulder sealed the match by bowling George Linde. ' ' '
