ARCADIA, Calif. -- Vyjack ran a mile on turf in course-record time of 1:31.69 in Saturdays $201,725 City of Hope Mile at Santa Anita. The victory will prompt discussions regarding a Breeders Cup race goal for the 6-year-old Vyjack here in four weeks-- the $1 million Dirt Mile on Nov. 4, or the $2 million Mile on turf on Nov. 5.Before the race, trainer Phil DAmato said he preferred the Dirt Mile. The win in the Grade 2 City of Hope Mile may have changed the outlook.Ridden by Flavien Prat, Vyjack beat the previous course record of 1:31.78 set by Wise Dan in the 2012 Breeders Cup Mile.Santa Anita installed a new turf course in June. The course was used for the first time for the start of the autumn meeting on Sept. 30.Vyjack ($10.60) was the beneficiary of a torrid pace in the City of Hope Mile that helped his late kick through the final three furlongs.Vyjack was sixth early, well behind pacesetter Obviously, who disputed the pace with Frank Conversation through an opening quarter-mile in 21.40 seconds. Obviously led by 1-1/2 lengths after a half-mile in 43.97 seconds.Om, a 5-2 shot, closed from fourth to pose a challenge to Obviously in early stretch before Vyjack rallied three wide to take the lead in the final sixteenth.Vyjack finished a half-length in front of Om, who was a half-length in front of Obviously, the even-money favorite. Perfectly Majestic finished fourth, followed by Hootenanny, Patriots Rule, Express Himself, St. Joe Bay, Ed Johnson, and Frank Conversation.Om looked like a winnerr on the turn, but could not hold off Vyjack. Kai Forbath Jersey. I liked the spot all the way until the other horse caught me, said Dan Hendricks, who trains Om.Phil DAmato trains Vyjack and Obviously. He credited Prat with putting in time in the morning to learn Vyjacks tendencies.Flavien has gotten to know what the horse can and cant do, DAmato said.DAmato said jockey Tyler Baze followed instructions to take Obviously to the lead even though the 8-year-old gelding was vigorously urged to get past Frank Conversation and St. Joe Bay in the opening quarter-mile.He did what I told him to do and got to the front, DAmato said.Owned by Pick Six Racing, Vyjack has won 8 of 27 starts and earned $1,321,900. The Grade 2 City of Hope Mile was Vyjacks first win since an allowance race at Keeneland in April and his first stakes win since the Grade 2 Kelso Handicap at Belmont Park in September 2014. Vyjack was trained by Rudy Rodriguez at the time, and joined DAmatos stable in California earlier this summer.DAmato said Obviously will be considered for the BC Mile or the BC Turf Sprint on the hillside turf course on Nov. 5.Well keep our options open with both horses, he said.The final time left DAmato somewhat surprised.The turf course is so fast and everyone is trying to feel out where you need to be on the track, he said. I dont see that kind of pace happening in the Breeders Cup Mile.

YPSILANTI, Mich. http://www.saintsrookiestore.com/Saints-Mark-Ingram-Jersey/ . -- After only seven wins in four years, it seemed the outlook couldnt be much worse for the Eastern Michigan football team.Then came April, when a student and faculty report called on the school to consider dropping the sport altogether -- or perhaps stop playing it at the Division I level.Well, the team is still playing -- and playing well. The Eagles have won four of their first five games for the programs best start since 1995, and players know well where things stood just a few short months ago.It just lights a fire under us, defensive lineman Jeremiah Harris said. It doesnt bother us. We just know that the haters are going to hate.Coach Chris Creightons team has won at home, on the road and even against last years Mid-American Conference champions, and the stage is set for the Eagles to play their homecoming game Saturday against Toledo.Theres definitely a buzz, Creighton said. You get more emails, you get more texts and people are excited.EMU hasnt gone to a bowl since 1987. The Eagles came close in 2011 under Ron English, when they snapped a streak of 15 straight losing seasons by going 6-6, but two of their wins were against FCS teams, so they didnt have enough to become bowl eligible.The program declined again immediately after that, and the April report raised concerns about athletic spending at the school, citing a USA Today database that said 80 percent of EMUs athletic budget was subsidized by the rest of the university in 2015. The figure underscores the financial challenges of playing football in Division I without access to the type of revenue generated by schools like Alabama and Michigan -- and its an issue EMU athletic director Heather Lyke does not take lightly.Our goal is definitely to try to continue to increase revenue so we can become less dependent, said Lyke, who took over the athletic department in 2013. Were never not going to be dependent. I dont know if its 90 percent of the schools in the country are dependent on some level of general support, but I think when you look at the television exposure that our team has had -- playing on national television five times this year, compared to none when I first got here -- when were on an ESPN platform, were in 99 million homes, and that is good for the university.EMU responded quickly to the student and faculty report, releasing an open letter saying the school had no plans to drop football or leave the MAC. Lyke played softball at Michigan and worked for over a decade in the athletic department at Ohio State, so shes experienced Division I sports at both ends of the financial spectrum. She says its important for a school like Eastern Michigan to be realistic about who it is measuring itself against -- and that the Eagles can certainly be competitive within the MAC.Still, it can be hard for EMUs football team to find a niche if it isnt winning, especially since the Eagles play about six miles from Michigan Stadium, where over 110,000 fans regularly show up to watch the Wolverines.A couple years ago, when it was time to replace the turf at EMUs home stadium, the school changed the color of the field to gray, trying to create sort of a Midwestern version of what Boise State has done.To connect with this part of the country, southeast Michigan, where its blue collar, Lyke said. The student-athletes love it. Theyll say, `Gray is the new black.This is Creightons third season at the helm, and it began with a 61-14 victory over Mississippi Valley State, the teams highest scoring output since 2004. After a blowout loss at Missouri, the Eagles won at Charlotte and then returned home to play Wyoming in a game televised by CBS Sports Network.In the week leading up to that game, racist graffiti was found on an EMU building, and after the Eagles beat Wyoming, protesters marched on the field . Creighton said his team had met the night before to discuss what was happening on campus and around the country, and he was happy with the dialogue.It was pretty intense, but it was really good, Creighton said. It was a rich discussion, and some people from really kind of opposing viewpoints, but we were still unified. So it was pretty neat.Last weekend, EMU played at Bowling Green, the defending conference champion. The Eagles held on for a 28-25 win, earning their first 4-1 start in 21 years.Now Eastern Michigan will host a high-scoring Toledo team that is favored to beat the Eagles by over two touchdowns, but no matter what happens this weekend, EMU has a start it can build on. Creighton says he wants the program to succeed on the field and off, citing the fact that his team led the MAC in grade-point average the last two seasons.Its not just to win games, Creighton said. I want our program to become a source of pride for this campus and for Ypsilanti and for this region.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister http://www.saintsrookiestore.com/Saints-Coby-Fleener-Jersey/ .Y. -- Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers had no intention of changing his hard-hitting style before taking part in a disciplinary hearing for his illegal check to New Jersey forward Dainius Zubrus head. http://www.saintsrookiestore.com/Hoodie/ .

TAMPA, Fla. Atletico Madrid Jerseys . -- The Tampa Bay Lightning overcame an unusual call that went against them and remained undefeated.Brayden Point scored the game-winning goal in the sixth round of a shootout, and the Lightning beat the Florida Panthers 4-3 on Tuesday night.Points goal came three rounds after it seemed Tampa Bay had won the shootout 1-0.After Jonathan Drouin scored for the Lightning in the third round, Vincent Trocheck appeared to fan on his initial shot before sending the puck into the net for Florida. It was called no goal on the ice but the ruling was overturned following a replay review, tying the shootout at 1.I dont think its controversy anymore because the same result happened, Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said.The NHL said in a statement that a video review determined Trocheck kept the puck in motion toward the net before his shot attempt. According to Rule 24.2, The puck must be kept in motion towards the opponents goal line and once it is shot, the play shall be considered complete.Lightning star Steven Stamkos forced overtime when he lifted a shot from along the goal line over goalie James Reimer with 5.5 seconds left in the third period.Theres not many guys in the league that can do that, Cooper said. When I say not many, youre talking one hand.Michael Matheson scored his first NHL goal at 15:52 of the third to give Florida a 3-2 advantage.The Lightning also got goals from Alex Killorn and Ondrej Palat. Tampa Bay has opened the season 3-0 for the fifth time.Colton Sceviour and Trocheck also scored for the Panthers, who were trying to win three in a row to start a season for the first time.It was a good game, Florida coach Gerard Gallant said. It was a close game all the way through. I thought we did a lot of good things tonight. Overall we played real good hockey.Trocheck got the Panthers even at 2 when he beat Ben Bishop from the low slot at 5:26 of the third.Bishop made 28 saves. Reimer stopped 25 shots in his first game with Florida since signing a free-agent deal in the offseason to be Roberto Luongos backup.Were real happy with the performance, Gallant said.Palat put Tampa Bay up 2-1 on a rebound goal with 3:39 left in the second after Reimer stopped Stamkos tough-angle shot. Stamkos has 48 points in 41 games against Florida.Sceviour opened the scoring at 2:38 of the second on a short-handed 2-on-1 off a pass from Derek MacKenzie.Killorn extended his season-opening goal streak to three games and tied it 6:18 into the second.Panthers star Jaromir Jagr has not scored a goal in his past four games, including all three this season, and remains one short of 750 in his career. He had one shot on goal.Jagr was called for hooking 2:11 into overtime, but Tampa Bay failed to generate any scoring chances.Game notes Tampa Bay held a pregame ceremony to honor former captain Vincent Lecavalier, who retired after playing last season with Philadelphia and Los Angeles. Lecavalier is the Lightnings career leader in games (1,037) and goals (383). He ranks second in points (874). ... MacKenzie snapped a 10-game point drought. ... Drouin had an assist. He has three assists and four points this season.UP NEXTPanthers: Return home to play Washington on Thursday night.Lightning: Complete a season-opening, four-game homestand Thursday night against Colorado. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Antonio-Adan-Jersey/ .

(STATS) -- As the college football season moves into the conference schedules of October this weekend, the FCS departs September with 10 wins over FBS programs.Its not as many as the record 16 in 2013, but reaching double figures is significant. Its one more win than last season and there are some more matchups ahead.But while most of the FCS-over-FBS wins are considered upsets, are they really surprising?This season, theres been the perfect storm of quality FCS teams facing struggling FBS teams. Nine of the 10 FCS teams to beat FBS opponents are nationally ranked, and the exception, Central Arkansas, is 3-1 and in the 33rd spot. Only Iowa has a winning record out of the FBS 10, which are a combined 9-29.Heres a ranking of the least surprising win to the most surprising:10. Northern Iowa 25, Iowa State 20 (Sept. 3) -- Its not like the Panthers were in foreign territory. They were making their fifth trip to Ames this decade, and they won there in 2013 and lost by a point in 2011.9. Richmond 37, Virginia 20 (Sept. 3) -- Considering their previous game was at the Fargodome and most of that starting lineup was back, the question was more, How much are the Spiders going to win by?8. Western Illinois 28, Northern Illinois 23 (Sept. 24) -- This was Western Illinois seventh all-time win over both an FBS and Mid-American Conference program, and five are against NIU.7. Eastern Illinois 21, Miami of Ohio 17 (Sept. 10) -- There was some surprise because EIU third-year coach Kim Dameron had yet to beat a team outside the Ohio Valley Conference. But this was Miami of Ohio -- a doormat in the MAC. Thank you, Cinderella, for wiping off the slippers.6. Central Arkansas 28, Arkansas State 23 (Sept. 24) -- After holding their own against Colorado, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State the last three years, the Bears were not too fazed by playing a winless Sun Belt team. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Vitolo-Jersey/. 5. North Dakota State 23, Iowa 21 (Sept. 17) -- Sorry, but not buying this was a shocker, even with Iowa entering at No. 13. The Bison had beaten five straight FBS opponents and won the last five FCS national titles. They didnt go to Iowa City to lose.4. Eastern Washington 45, Washington State 42 (Sept. 3) -- The high-flying Eagles had a quarterback (Gage Gubrud) starting for the first time behind an entirely new offensive line, and against the 2015 Sun Bowl champs. Oh, yes, they also had the best player on the field in wide receiver Cooper Kupp.3. North Carolina A&T 39, Kent State 36, 4 OTs (Sept. 10) -- A&T had lost to its three prior FBS opponents by an average of 39.7 points. If you knew beforehand the Aggies would need to go four overtimes with a third-string quarterback running the offense, even realizing they have a veteran roster wouldnt have swayed you into thinking upset.2. Illinois State 9, Northwestern 7 (Sept. 10) -- After Illinois State lost its two former FBS-level talents in the backfield -- quarterback Tre Roberson and running back Marshaun Coprich -- this didnt seem to be the year to beat a Big Ten opponent. It sure helped to have a defense that limited Northwestern to 277 yards.1. Albany 22, Buffalo 16 (Sept. 2) -- With Buffalo pounding Albany 51-14 last year in the Great Danes first-ever game against an FBS opponent, it was hard to see this one coming. The Danes were a mere 3-8 a year ago. Then again, Buffalo coach Lance Leipolds old teams at Division III Wisconsin-Whitewater could probably beat the Bulls as well.

WASHINGTON -- The Washington Nationals arent playing like a first-place team lately, and the Milwaukee Brewers have been delighted to take advantage of the situation.Hernan Perez hit a tiebreaking two-run homer in the sixth inning to back an effective pitching performance by Zach Davies, and the Brewers beat Washington 5-2 on Tuesday night to clinch their second road series win of the season.Aaron Hill went 3 for 4 with a home run and three RBI for the Brewers, who will attempt to complete a three-game sweep on Wednesday.For the second straight day, the NL East-leading Nationals played poorly in the field, stumbled on the bases and gave up pivotal home runs.We were flat today, made some mistakes, manager Dusty Baker said. We didnt play very good baseball. Right now theyre taking it to us, versus us taking it to them.Milwaukee was 1-8-4 in its first 13 series on the road, defeating only Atlanta in May.Feels good to get any win, but especially against a team like this, Hill said. We just took advantage of some of our opportunities and our pitching and our bullpen and our closer did a great job for us again.Davies (6-4) allowed two runs and nine hits in 6 2/3 innings. The rookie retired 10 in a row before giving up three straight singles in the seventh.Washington loaded the bases with two outs for reigning NL MVP Bryce Harper, who looked at a third strike from Will Smith to end the threat.Hes facing the best hitter in the middle of the lineup on the other team, manager Craig Counsell said. Obviously, Harper is one of the best. Doesnt get in a bigger spot in a baseball game than that.Jeremy Jeffress worked the ninth for his 23rd save.Milwaukee improved to 4-1 against the Nationals with one game left. Its the Brewers first season series win against Washington since 2010.The highlight of the night for the Nationals was having four players selected to the All-Star Game, including Harper and NL batting leader Daniel Murphy.Murphy violated two of baseballs basic rules as the leadoff hitter in the eighth inning. http://www.dolphinsrookiestore.com/Dolphins-Leonte-Carroo-Jersey/. After running slow from the batters box on a liner to right, he was thrown out at third base trying to stretch the hit into a triple.That was a terrible play, Murphy acknowledged. I didnt hustle out of the box, I didnt hustle to second and tried to save it by going to third and made the first out at third base down three runs. It changed the whole complexion of the game.Perez put Milwaukee up 3-1 in the sixth with a drive off Gio Gonzalez (4-8), who is 1-7 in nine starts since May 18.Hill added a two-run drive in the seventh off Blake Treinen.Neither pitcher had a perfect inning until Davies put down the Nationals in order in the fifth. Heading into the sixth, the teams combined for 11 hits and four walks but only two runs.Washington used an RBI single by Anthony Rendon to take a 1-0 lead in the second inning. Milwaukee tied it in the third with a run-scoring single by Hill.ALL-STARSBrewers: C Jonathan Lucroy (.296, 10 HRs, 39 RBI) was selected as a reserve for the NL squad.Nationals: Harper will start in the OF for the NL, and C Wilson Ramos, RHP Stephen Strasburg and 2B Murphy will be reserves. Murphy finished 88 votes behind starter Ben Zobrist -- 3,013,407 to 3,013,319.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: OF Domingo Santana (elbow soreness) is not nearly close to coming off the DL, Counsell said.Nationals: Baker was nursing a cold and acknowledged that everyone was dragging during Mondays 11 a.m. game. It didnt get any better in this one.UP NEXTBrewers: RHP Matt Garza (1-1, 3.74 ERA) makes his fifth start of the season in the series finale Wednesday. Although Garza is 1-4 with a 7.01 ERA lifetime against Washington, he beat the Nats 6-5 on June 25.Nationals: Tanner Roark (7-5, 2.93) is 2-0 lifetime against the Brewers.

WASHINGTON -- Yes, the Mets lost a chance to gain ground in their postseason push. Denis Suarez Jersey . Its also true they dropped two of three to the Nationals. Heres another fact: New York put itself in position for the playoffs with its recent surge, a point manager Terry Collins intends on pushing.Tanner Roark pitched seven scoreless innings and Wilson Ramos homered in the seventh inning for the games only run as the Washington Nationals beat the New York Mets 1-0 on Wednesday.With one out in the seventh, Ramos hit his 21st home run deep over the center-field wall on the first pitch from Fernando Salas (0-1).New York finished 6-3 on its nine-game road trip. The Mets had won eight of 10 and were 17-6 over their previous 23 games.Entering Wednesday, the Mets were the second NL wild card, a half-game back of the Giants and a half-game ahead of the Cardinals. San Francisco and St. Louis also lost Wednesday.Weve got ourselves right where we need to be, Collins said. Yeah, todays tough when the other two teams lose. But theyre saying the same thing.Salas, who was 3-6 with the Angels, had not allowed a run in seven appearances since being acquired from Los Angeles on Aug. 31.Roark (15-8) allowed three hits with seven strikeouts and four walks, one intentional. The Nationals have won five of six.Reliever Blake Treinen pitched the eighth and Mark Melancon got the final three outs for his 42 save.Mets starter Robert Gsellman tossed 5 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing five hits with four walks.Holding the Nationals to one run for a 3-1 win in New York on Sept. 3 helped boost the rookie in the rematch.Definitely, its big, Gsellman said. It helped my confidence a lot, and hopefully will take it to the next level.New York returns home for a 10-game homestand starting Friday.Were going home in the wild-card hunt. Our fans should be excited, Collins stated. Theyve been waiting. Its the last homestand. They should be excited to come out and, you know, see what happens in these 10 games. I dont care who were playing, theyre big games. This is a big time of year.Nationals manager Dusty Baker was not with the team in the series finale because of a death in the family. Bench coach Chris Speier managed team in Bakers absence.Roark is 1-2 with a 1.27 ERA in four appearances against the Mets this season including three starts. The right-hander threw at least seven shutouts innings for a major league-leading ninth time this season.New York opened the game with back-to-back singles and loaded the bases with one out, but Roark escaped by striking out Jay Bruce and getting T.J. Rivera on a fly ball.We had a chance, Collins said. But, you know, hes good, and we didnt get it done.Washington won the season series 12-7.Daniel Murphys single in the first inning extended his hitting streak to 12 games overall and meant at least one hit in all 19 games against his former team this season.MARK YOUR CALENDARMajor League Baseball released the 2017 schedule Wednesday. New York hosts Atlanta April 2.TRAINERS ROOMMets: LHP Steven Matz (left shoulder tightness), on the disabled list retroactive to Aug. 15, felt fine throwing a 20-pitch bullpen session for Single-A Port St. Lucie, Mets manager Terry Collins said. ... Noah Syndergaards turn in the rotation comes Sunday, but Collins said he prefer giving the ace extra rest. Syndergaard struck out 10 over seven innings in New Yorks 4-3 win in 10 innings Tuesday.UP NEXTMets: New York returns home to open a three-game series Friday against Minnesota with RHP Bartolo Colon (13-7, 3.27 ERA) set to face Jose Berrios (2-6, 9.27) Sergio Busquets Jersey .

Aleix Vidal Jersey . -- If this was Aaron Gordons final home game at Arizona, and it almost certainly was, then he went out in style. http://www.fcbarcelonapro.com/Kids-Thomas-Vermaelen-Jersey/ . However, he did make them miss him a little less. Cundiff, who had the unenviable job of replacing Dawson last season, agreed Thursday to a one-year, $1. If a League of Legends tournament occurs during the offseason, days before free-agent frenzy (and most of the clubs invited reject the invitation faster than an RSVP to an exs wedding), does it really matter in the grand scheme of things?IEM Oakland is going to be the Mario Party of League of Legends tournaments. The event is going to start out as a fun game night with your friends that quickly turns into everyone wondering why they agreed to come over in the first place. Someone is going to win, and the others will file out the front door, telling the winner they didnt actually try to win and only came over to have some good-intentioned fun.There are six teams that will be traveling to the Bay Area to compete for the $50,000 first-place prize and ticket to the IEM World Championships in the spring of 2017. There were supposed to be eight teams, but with the tournaments awkward placement in the offseason between the end of the 2016 World Championships and free agency, a slew of teams declined to focus on shaping their rosters for the new campaign.Team SoloMid, for example, is without a starting AD carry after Yiliang Doublelift Peng announced hed be sitting out the 2017 spring split to clear his head. ESPN recently reported that former TSM AD carry Jason WildTurtle Tran will be standing in for the team in Oakland before jetting off to South Korea for a tryout with the recently NBA-cash-infused Team Dignitas.If WildTurtle does play, itll encapsulate this entire tournament: fun, but the result wont mean much. Well, except for one team (well talk about that later). The Bay Area fans will see a return of the Baylife TSM for one weekend, TSM will get to take a breather after a long, tiring year, and everyone will enjoy themselves. There will be laughter, and in the end, there will be a trophy given out, with the fans probably chanting T-S-M! -- whether or not TSM actually wins the tournament.Fear not, dear reader, I have you covered. As this is still one of the only international tournaments well have all year -- wow, thats a depressing thought, isnt it? -- a preview is necessary. So here are the storylines to watch for when six international teams battle it out for supremacy at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California.In the past two years, the winners of the IEM Bay Area offseason tournament have gone on to be runners-up in their respective domestic spring splits.Coincidence? Most definitely. Grasping at straws? Once again, most definitely. The past two years, IEM have held similar tournaments before the free-agency period, and those tournaments ended with Cloud9 (2014) and Origen (2015) exiting as champions. Both clubs would then go on to make the finals of their respective LCS leagues that spring, and both would fall in defeat -- C9 losing to TSM in the 2015 NA LCS spring final and Origen falling to G2 Esports in the 2016 EU LCS final.Now that its scientifically proven that winning this tournament means youre going to get second place in your upcoming league, itll be a treat to see which club leaves Oakland with $50,000, a seat at the table for the IEM World Championships and a guaranteed silver medal for the spring split.People can finally chant T-S-M! appropriately.Covering the World Championships was awesome. Even when TSM was knocked out in the group stages, it never actually felt as if they left the tournament. The crowds in Madison Square Garden and Staples Center chanted for the team with a tireless fervor. This time around, the American fans will actually get to see TSM in person. And itll actually make sense when fans chant the three most known letters in NA esports -- instead of chanting them before the fifth and final game of one of the best League matches of all time (SK Telecom T1 and the ROX Tigers inside Madison Square Garden).Yes, that actually happened.Lose-lose for Longzhu.Out of the six teams competing in Oakland, only Longzhu can leave a loser. If TSM loses, all they need to do is bring up the AD carry substitute. Chiefs and INTZ are from wild-card regions. Flassh Wolves are using two substitutes. Luis Suarez Jersey. Unicorns of Love are the Unicorns of Love. Longzhu was a supposed super-team that never reached its full potential last year. Longzhu is a South Korean team, and South Korea just made a mockery of every other region at the World Championships, and you have a club that needs to win this dangerous game of Mario Party in fear of being booted from the LCK.Longzhu really have no excuses if they lose. Theyve had the same roster for an entire year. Theyre from South Korea, the mecca of esports infrastructure. On paper, the teams individual talent is more than enough to beat some clubs playing with substitutes, wild-card teams and Unicorns of Love.And if Longzhu does win, then it doesnt really mean much since -- you know -- theyre playing against a bunch of misfit teams in an offseason tournament. So whether the team dominates everyone or gets bounced in the first round by a wild-card team, there really isnt an ending here in which Longzhu comes out looking better. The club just lost to the Jin Air Green Wings in the first round of the KeSPA Cup, so its not as if Longzhu comes into Oakland with any momentum behind them.Heres the bright side: Longzhu still has a lot of money, so if things go awry, the Chinese-sponsored team can always drive garbage trucks filled with money to the front of Kim Deft Hyuk-kyus house in hopes of turning around their fortunes.Hooray for wild-card regions!Its always fun to see the wild-card regions participate alongside the clubs from major regions, and well get to see that with Oceanias Chiefs and Brazils INTZ coming to IEM Oakland. We already saw INTZ at the World Championships, and although the team didnt make it out of the first round, INTZ did take a game off of Chinas champion EDward Gaming. IEM Oakland isnt going to be as structured or as long as Worlds, so INTZ could have a chance of making a surprise run into the bracket stage.For the Chiefs, this will be one of the first times we see Oceania on the world stage. The team has been the overlord of Australia for seemingly forever, yet the club has always failed in the wild-card qualifications to make it to one of the bigger international events. This time, however, the Chiefs didnt let the opportunity slip by, and they will now have the chance to possibly beat a team like Longzhu.This is all we have.We have Worlds, the Mid-Season Invitational, the One-Week Players Vacation (aka All Stars), two or three IEM circuit events and the IEM World Championship. Thats it. We get less than seven international tournaments a year, and only three of them are classified as major tournaments. IEM Oakland is a mess in a lot of ways, but its one of the only times well get to see a team such as the Chiefs take on Longzhu.Unicorns of Love vs. INTZ? I didnt ask for this, but its actually an interesting match if you think about it. We know the top tier of South Korean teams is better than everyone else in the world, but can Longzhu -- a non-playoff team -- make fools of the rest of the world, too? How deep is South Korea? How good is the middle of NA compared to Europe? Are the Chiefs out of their depth, or can they shock the world?IEM Oakland will probably turn out to be a silly event, but we want to see these what-ifs come to life in a somewhat competitive environment. Before we know it, the free-agency period will be over, and well be back to domestic play, with the regions separated until the Mid-Season Invitational, when SK Telecom T1 will probably sweep whoever is lucky enough to reach the finals.So to answer the question: Does this tournament matter? Yes, it does.IEM Oakland, like the prior IEM San Jose tournaments, is different. And in League of Legends, where domestic play has taken over the calendar year, except for two weeks in May and a month in the fall, different will always be a good thing, no matter how many teams show up to the party.
