The biggest Call of Duty event of the season is off to the races, with 30 games having taken place during Day 1. While upsets normally reign supreme during the initial days of a respective tournament, the real headline from the first day of competition was the utter dominance by the upper echelon of the competitive scene, as a whopping nine teams ended the day at 2-0.The most surprising of those teams may have been compLexity Gaming. While compLexity was expected to place well in Group H, few expected the team to contend with odds-on favorite OpTic Gaming in the group stage. But thanks to some timely plays by stars Chris Parasite Duarte and Colt Havok McLendon, compLexity Gaming was able to walk away with a critical 3-2 win against OpTic.While that win put compLexity on track to earn a 2-0 record during Day 1, it more importantly put the pressure on OpTic, as the Green Wall will most likely need to win both games on Day 2 in order to qualify for the double-elimination bracket. Lose a game against either PNDA or Team LDLC, who each had their moments during Day 1, and aspirations toward the $800,000 first-place prize likely go up in smoke.The newly rebranded Renegades understand that heartbreak. After entering Group D as one of the favorites to advance through the double-elimination bracket, its tournament is effectively over, losing two hard-fought matches to Epsilon Esports (3-1) and Allegiance (3-2). Arguably one of the most difficult groups in the tournament, the Stage 2 runner-ups needed to play well in order to move on, and in nearly every match, at least one member of Renegades did. Whether it was Adam Killa Sloss with a brilliant 1-vs-3 play in Search and Destroy against Epsilon Esports, or a fury-charged Steven Diabolic Rivero and Martin Chino Chino against Allegiance, at least one member of Renegades had a moment throughout the respective series. Unfortunately, the team couldnt cobble together a consistent four-man performance, which wound up being its downfall. It will be interesting to see what roster moves follow the disappointing exit, as Killa has suggested this may be his last Call of Duty competitive season.Finally, a pair of dominant performances by Splyce and FaZe Clan has seemingly quieted any doubters after the first day of competition. While each team resides in different regions, Splyce in Europe and FaZe in North America, both teams entered Call of Duty XP in similar situations. Despite the teams immense popularity and success last season, FaZe Clan has struggled to make much of a dent in the competitive scene during Black Ops III. Splyce, on the other hand, has had immense success during the season on the European level, but hasnt seen that success transfer to the international level. Each entered with question marks regarding the caliber of its play. If Day 1 was any indication, however, Splyce and FaZe Clan could be the favorites to win the whole tournament, as the two teams went 3-0 or 3-1 in every series they played. Day 1 doesnt make champions, but there werent many other teams that looked better than Splyce and FaZe Clan. Justise Winslow College Jersey . Neymar curled home a free kick from just outside the area to put the 2014 World Cup host ahead in the 44th minute. Three minutes after the break, a simple through pass from Paulinho freed Oscar and the Chelsea star rounded goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong to extend Brazils lead. Bobby Hurley College Jersey . Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. http://www.cheapdukebluedevilsjerseys.com/?tag=grant-hill-college-jersey .Y. -- Canadas Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse have another World Cup gold medal after winning the two-women bobsled race on Saturday in Lake Placid, N.

Harry Giles College Jersey .Y. - General manager Billy King says the Brooklyn Nets are looking to add a big man and confirmed the team worked out centre Jason Collins, who would become the first openly gay active NBA player if signed. By now its a weekly routine: Big NFL stars like Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and Panthers quarterback Cam Newton take the field wearing custom-designed cleats.But the big names arent the only ones wearing the custom footwear. A growing number of players are wearing one-of-a-kind cleats -- usually just in pregame warm-ups but sometimes in games -- and many of them are getting the customized gear from an unlikely source: a sneaker shop in Buffalo, whose co-owner and cleat artist have ridden their custom designs all the way to a partnership with Nike.The shop, which is called Fabes Sole High, opened in 2014. Were big on exclusivity -- things that are expensive and rare, things you wouldnt find at Foot Locker, said the shops co-owner, Napoleon Polo Kerber, whos 26. Athletes would come to our store for that, so we already had that customer base.Shortly after the shop opened, Kerber met up with a 31-year-old local artist named Nicholas Avery, who got into customized footwear by painting his own sneakers for fun. A couple of designs that Id done were displayed at a different shop in Buffalo, he said. I wasnt really affiliated with them, but they just thought it would be cool to showcase those designs. Then, I started getting requests, and I ran into the guys at Fabes Sole High and we talked about working together.Things started slowly. The first athlete to request customized cleats from them was a college player -- Mississippi quarterback Chad Kelly, whos from Buffalo and requested a custom pair last year. But their big break came when Bills running back LeSean McCoy asked for a pair. Then, other Bills players saw what he was wearing and wanted their own pairs, and then theyd tell their friends on other teams, guys they went to college with, and it kind of took off from there, Kerber said.Things have picked up this season, as word of Fabes Sole High has spread. Players whove worn the shops custom designs have included the following:? Dolphins cornerback Bobby McCain. Avery turned the Nike swoosh on McCains cleats into a stylized dolphin.? Colts wide receiver Donte Moncrief. Avery again modified the Nike logo, this time taking the subtle approach of adding white dots to the swoosh to mimic the similar markings on the Colts horseshoe logo.? Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins got a pair of NASA-themed cleats, complete the NASA logo on the insole and moon craters on the exterior. ? Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard. Wheres Waldo? Right on Shepards cleats. ? Bills cornerback Kevon Seymour. Seymour went with a Sonic the Hedgehog theme for his custom cleats.Other Fabes Sole High customers have included Titans tight end Delanie Walker and Bills quarterback Cardale Jones, among others. The NFFL often frowns on custom footwear being worn in games, so most of these players have worn their Fabes Sole High cleats only for pregame activities.dddddddddddd But some have managed to get them into games. The guys who police this stuff for the league, theyll tell the players during pregame, You cant wear that during the game, but they usually dont check after that, Kerber said. So some guys, like Cardale Jones, have switched to regular cleats for the first half and then worn their custom designs during the second half.Kerber handles most of the communication with the players, but Avery executes the designs. Ill start by roughing the shoe up with a sanding pen, so itll hold the paint better, Avery said. Then I use whats called an adhesion promoter, which is usually used for automotive paint jobs, which also helps the paint to adhere. I use Angelus paint, which is designed for leather. Its made to flex without cracking. I mostly use an airbrush, but Ill use do small details by hand. And then I use a heat gun to cook the paint onto the shoe. The whole process takes about 20 hours. The player usually provides the cleats, and the price for the paint job is generally in the $400 range.Avery said the players usually leave the designs up to him. They might specify what color they want, but otherwise they leave it pretty wide open for me to do whatever I think looks good, so theres a surprise factor, he said. I dont do any mock-ups or preliminary versions for their approval because the designs usually evolve as Im working on them, so the final version would look different anyway.But a few players have taken a more active role in the design concepts for their cleats. Cardinals cornerback Marcus Cooper, for example, requested a pair that celebrated the upcoming birth of his daughter, so he provided Avery with photos to use, including a sonogram image.Players arent the only ones whove taken notice of Fabes Sole Highs work. With the NFL allowing players to wear custom cleats to support charitable endeavors during the games played on Dec. 4, Kerber and Avery have temporarily relocated to Oregon, where theyve been working with Nike to create footwear designs for many of the players affiliated with the sportswear giant. ESPN.com will provide previews of those designs soon -- stay tuned.Paul Lukas writes about uniforms for ESPN.com.
