being a head coach of a team in Team Vitality, S from corse178's blog
There are 15 champions in Dwayne Bravos Champion. Mike Moustakas Royals Jersey . Four are cricketers. None are current members of West Indies Test team. Even little brother Darren finds no mention in the song.West Indies have won three ICC tournaments this year. Under-19 World Cup? Champions. Womens World T20? Champions. Mens World T20? Champions. But they havent won a Test series against anyone other than Bangladesh or Zimbabwe, home or away, since August 2012.West Indies most recent Test series ended in January. They lost 2-0, and, but for rain, could have lost 3-0. In that series, Australia ran up totals of 583 for 4 declared in Hobart, 551 for 3 declared and 179 for 3 declared in Melbourne, and 176 for 2 declared in rain-ravaged Sydney. They scored their runs at 4.67 runs per over.Champions, West Indies bowlers definitely were not. Above the dressing rooms at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua runs a strip of sans-serif capital letters. Sir Andy Roberts End, it says. At the opposite side of the ground, above the press box, is another strip of capital letters. Sir Curtly Ambrose End.Between them, those two took 607 wickets in 145 Tests at a combined average of 22.53, with 33 five-wicket hauls and five ten-wicket match hauls.On Thursday, when West Indies begin a four-Test home series against India, their squad will contain four fast bowlers with a total of 56 wickets in 31 Tests at a combined average of 40.39, and not a single five-wicket haul.West Indies have lost Jerome Taylor to Test retirement, and have ignored Kemar Roach. While both were abject in Australia - they combined for two wickets an average of 252.00, and gave away 5.79 runs per over - no team can easily replace a new-ball pair with 252 wickets and the experience of 83 Tests, even a pair as capricious, frustrating and injury-prone as Taylor and Roach.Fast bowlers win or lose Test matches, and West Indies enter their latest home season with a pace attack that is a candidate for being their weakest ever: Carlos Brathwaite, Shannon Gabriel, Jason Holder and Miguel Cummins.It isnt as if West Indies dont have other issues. They have dropped a wicketkeeper-batsman with 74 Tests behind him, and - Kraigg Brathwaite and Darren Bravo aside - have a top order full of question marks, the biggest among them hanging over the head of Marlon Samuels, who has been on a sensational run of limited-overs form of late, but hasnt passed 20 once in his last nine Test innings.But it is the bowling that will worry them the most, coming up as it will against the quality of Indias batting line-up and pitches that are likely to be slow and demand long spells of sustained pressure. In recent times, West Indies bowlers have not been particularly good at delivering those kinds of spells.One of the words that were going to harp on a lot is how patient we are, because we tend to get bored of bowling [at] one place and doing well and not getting wickets, so we try something [else], their head coach Phil Simmons said on Tuesday. So were going to harp on this, trying to be patient and do the things that were doing well, continuously, so that we get the wickets, and same thing with batting. You bat long and you stick around, you work hard and youll get the just reward at the end.Two days before the first Test, the West Indies team management tried to hammer this point home in the design of their net session. The quick bowlers net had an extra stump in it, nailed down on a fifth-stump line a couple of feet behind the wicket. Right through the net session, the only thing the fast bowlers attempted to do was bowl in the channel outside off stump, and the batsmen facing them tried to leave as many balls as they could. The wall of netting behind the batsmen shook violently, again and again and again. Every now and then, the fifth stump went for a spin.The effort was real, and palpable, but translating that sort of discipline into an actual match environment is a challenge of an entirely different magnitude. It will only take one bad session to remind West Indies that they are the eighth-best Test team of the nine that make up the rankings, and that they occupy that lowly spot at a time when there is talk of splitting Test cricket into two tiers.These are not good times for West Indies Test cricket, and the road uphill is steep.For all that, India cannot simply show up and expect to win. They won their last two Test series in the Caribbean, in 2006 and 2011, but only by 1-0 margins, and both those series reinforced their long-held status as a team that has always struggled away from home, seldom asserting their dominance even against weaker opposition. The last Test match they played in these islands, in Dominica, summed it up perfectly: the captains shook hands and agreed to a draw when India needed 86 runs to win, in 15 overs, with seven wickets in hand. India were content with a 1-0 win.India, began ESPNcricinfos final-day report of the Test match, will have to wait until 2016 to win more than one Test in a series in the Caribbean - a feat theyve never achieved.Indias Test captain Virat Kohli, still fairly new at his job, is an ambitious man. So is their new head coach. They will want a series win, first and foremost, regardless of the margin, but they have surely set their sights a little higher than that. Alcides Escobar Jersey . Meanwhile, there were huge victories for Sunderland and West Ham over fellow relegation rivals, leaving the battle to avoid the drop up for grabs with the bottom 11 teams separated by just six points. Eden Hazard and Fernando Torres scored second-half goals to seal a fourth straight victory for Chelsea, which climbed above Arsenal and Manchester City in the standings ahead of their games on Monday and Sunday respectively. Kendrys Morales Royals Jersey .500 on the season. The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs. The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage. http://www.baseballroyalsofficial.com/frank-white-jersey-c-15/ . The incident occurred at 19:56 of the second period of the Kings 4-2 road win over Edmonton on Sunday. Nolan punched Oilers forward Jesse Joensuu in the jaw in front of the Kings goal during a scrum. The 2016 Olympic games are currently being held in Rio de Janeiro. Basketball, swimming, field hockey, archery, gymnastics ... the list goes on for the events currently going on in Brazil.Recently there has been talk of video games possibly being inserted into the list of Olympic events one day. Skateboarding and surfing were just accepted into the 2020 event held in Tokyo, after all. A majority, if not all the current stars of today in competitive gaming could be retired by the time that occurs.So I took it upon myself to create Olympic teams for the top nations in the most global competitive title, League of Legends. Ten players, two from each position, were selected for the teams. While there will be some snubs -- Korea just has too much talent -- hopefully this gives you a general idea of what could be possible in the future.South KoreaTop: Song Smeb Kyung-hoTop: Kim Ssumday Chan-hoJungle: Go Score Dong-binJungle: Yoon Peanut Wang-hoMid: Lee Faker Sang-hyeokMid: Song Rookie Eui-jinAD Carry: Bae Bang Jun-sikAD Carry: Kim Deft Hyuk-kyuSupport: Kang GorillA Beom-hyeonSupport: Cho Mata Se-hyeongThis isnt fair. This is ridiculous. All right, call off the Olympics, this was a goofy idea.You could split these teams into two, and theyd probably come close to sweeping every country in the world before facing off in a South Korea 1 vs. South Korea 2 final. You could conceivably put out a lineup of Smeb, Peanut, Faker, Deft and Mata, a starting five of arguably the best players at their position currently in the world.Oh, Faker doesnt feel like playing today and wants to water his plants instead of playing Belgium? Heres Rookie to fill in and destroy everyone. You could rotate Smeb and Ssumday. You could mix and match between the bottom lane components until you found the perfect pair.Overall, this is by far -- and I mean, by far -- the strongest country in the world. While other countries might be able to put up some sort of a fight, if a starting five could find chemistry between these 10 players, the gold medal would be assured.ChinaTop: Ke 957 Chang-YuTop: Li Flandre Xuan-junJungle: Ming Clearlove KaiJungle: Liu MLXG Shi-yuMid: Li Xiaohu Yuan-HaoMid: Su Xiye Han-WeiAD Carry: Jian Uzi Zi-HaoAD Carry: Han S1mLz JinSupport: Tian Meiko YeSupport: Jin Savoki HaoThis team was selected by League of Legends Pro League commentator Indiana Froskurinn Black.The possible front-runner for the silver medal, China possesses a talented squad even without the Korean players like Mata and Deft who star in the LPL. While there is a lack of depth to the roster when you compare it to the star-studded lineup of Korea, you still have strong positions like the jungle with Clearlove and MLXG, two of the best junglers in the entire world. Wed also get to see the partnership between Chinas best support, Meiko, alongside the two-time silver medalist at Worlds, Uzi from Royal Never Give Up.TaiwanTop: Chen Ziv YiTop: Chen Morning Kuan-TingJungle: Hung Karsa Hau-HsuanJungle: Chen REFRA1N Kuan-TingMid: Chu FoFo Chun-LanMid: Huang Maple Yi-TangAD Carry: Chang BeBe Bo-WeiAD Carry: Chen Dee Jun-DeeSupport: Hu SwordArt Shuo-JieSupport: Ceng Dreamer Jian-HongThis team was selected by League of Legends Master Series expert Xander Goomiho Torres.Wait a minute China -- Taiwan might have a team solid enough to rip the silver away from you.Although Taiwans depth is even shallower than Chinas, only five players can play at one time in League of Legends. A lineup of Ziv, Karsa, either the 17-year-old prodigy FoFo or experienced ace Maple, former world champion BeBe, and proven leader SwordArt could be strong enough to knock off any country on the planet not named South Korea. Karsa and Ziv, in particular, would benefit from being able to play with each other after years of being rivals on Flash Wolves and AHQ, respectively.United States of AmericaTop: Kevin Hauntzer YarnellTop: Samson Lourlo JacksonJungle: Joshua Dardoch HartnettJungle: William Meteos HartmanMid: Eugene Pobelter ParkMid: Hai Hai LamAD Carry: Yiliang Doublelift PengAD Carry: Zachary Sneaky ScuderiSupport: Zaqueri Aphromoo BlackSupport: Adrian Adrian MaLooking at the United States rroster, this is a pool of talent with the potential to be up there with China, Taiwan and others fighting for the silver medal. Joakim Soria Jersey. . Hauntzer is on his way to being one of the better American top laners the region has ever produced, and the same can be said about Dardoch at the jungle position. Pobelter is coming off the best split of his career, and the bottom lane of the U.S. would be stacked with the potential return of the Rush Hour bottom lane between now-rivals Doublelift and Aphromoo.Hai is probably retired at this point after getting Cloud 9 Challenger to the NA League Championship Series for the next split, but hed come back for one more run to represent the red, white and blue at the Olympics in this what-if scenario.CanadaTop: Darshan Darshan UpadhyayaTop: Derek Zig ShaoJungle: Rami Inori CharaghJungle: Anthony Hard BarkhovtsevMid: Danny Shiphtur LeMid: Nicholas Ablazeolive AbbottAD Carry: Jason WildTurtle TranAD Carry: Johnny Altec RuSupport: Vincent Biofrost WangSupport: Andy Smoothie TaCanadas roster is interesting, albeit possibly a bit weak up the middle with Shiphtur and Ablazeolive both currently in the minor leagues. But a starting five of back-to-back league winner Darshan, Rookie of the Split contender Inori, Shiphtur, two-time NA LCS winner WildTurtle, and other Rookie of the Split contender Biofrost isnt shabby in the slightest.Youd get to see Shiphtur and Darshan play together, like in the old days on Dignitas, and wed get to see how former Team SoloMid AD WildTurtle meshes with TSMs new support in Biofrost. A best-of-five with the Americans, especially if Shiphtur could find his old form, would be a must-see event.DenmarkTop: Martin Wunder HansenTop: Mike Wickd PetersenJungle: Jonas Trashy AndersenJungle: Dennis Svenskeren JohnsenMid: S?ren Bjergsen BjergMid: Nicolaj Jensen JensenAD Carry: Jesper Zven SvenningsenAD Carry: Kasper Kobbe KobberupSupport: Nicolai Nisbeth NisbethSupport: Daniel Ernst Wendelbo WendelboWow, Denmark, youre scary. Not only does Denmark possibly the two best Western players in the world, Bjergsen and Zven, it has rising stars like Wunder to fill out the roster to give it an extra oomph.Trashy and Svenskeren are both strong junglers, and you could easily switch them out depending if you wanted to focus on top (Wunder and Trashy) or more likely mid (Svenskeren and Bjergsen). Support is easily the weakest link for this proposed Denmark squad, but just look at all that talent in the other four positions.FranceTop: Lucas Cabochard Simon-MesletTop: Paul sOAZ BoyerJungle: Charly Djoko GuillardJungle: Kévin Shaunz GhanbarzadehMid: Jérémy Eika ValdenaireMid: Tony ShLaYa CarmonaAD Carry: Pierre Steeelback MedjaldiAD Carry: Liv Hans StevenSupport: Bora YellOwStaR KimSupport: Hugo Dioud PadioleauI was left in another awkward position where a few of the positions were stacked (AD, top lane), but others, like the jungle, havent produced a lot of pro-gaming French talent. So, due to already being a head coach of a team in Team Vitality, Shaunz can pull double duty by being the substitute behind Djoko in the jungle. France is shallow in the jungle and mid, but the trio of Cabochard, YellOwStar and wunderkid Hans sounds interesting with sOAZ and Steeelback also able to start.BrazilTop: Felipe Yang ZhaoTop: Matheus Mylon BorgesJungle: Gabriel Revolta HenudJungle: Thúlio SirT CarlosMid: Murilo Takeshi AlvesMid: Gabriel Tockers ClaumannAD Carry: André esA PaveziAD Carry: Micael micaO RodriguesSupport: Luan Jockster CardosoSupport: Caio Loop AlmeidaThe final team on our list would also be the hosts if this hypothetical League of Legends tournament was hosted today in the Olympics. Brazil, always a favorite to make it out of the wild-card qualifiers, failed to make it to the Mid-Season Invitational against rivals Turkey, but INTZ, the winner of the most recent domestic league, will look to qualify for the upcoming World Championships. This team is full of INTZ players, with all five domestic winners in the 10-man Brazilian Olympic roster.
