With all but four matches left in the Call of Duty World Championship, the third day was certainly filled with twists and turns as teams marched towards the finals of the $2 million event.After losing its opening match in the upper bracket on the second day, OpTic Gaming found itself in an uncomfortable position, needing to win six straight lower-bracket matches in order to play in the grand finals. While OpTic Gaming took care of business in its first two matches -- beating Infused and Luminosity Gaming with relative ease -- the teams momentum grinded to a halt in its third match on the third day against Cloud9.Whether it was pure exhaustion or just momentum running thin, OpTic Gaming stars Ian Crimsix Porter and Seth Scump Abner were flummoxed by Cloud9 all series long, as neither player could get much going. Despite the struggles, OpTic Gaming still had victory within its sights, needing just a win during Round 5 Search and Destroy in order to advance. However, as its been all tournament, the Search and Destroy game mode was OpTic Gamings bugaboo, as the Green Wall was unable to find the critical kills, falling to Cloud9 in Game 11.Considering the importance of the Search and Destroy game mode, which usually sees two rotations in a standard best-of-five series, it was surprising to see OpTic Gaming struggle, winning just two of the nine rounds it played at CoD XP.Joining OpTic Gaming on the disappointment train was FaZe Clan, who also found themselves in the lower bracket after an early loss to Team EnVyUs. After winning its next match against Millenium, FaZe would square off against Splyce, who had just fallen into the lower bracket after a disappointing loss to FAB Games.In a battle of regional supremacy, Splyce won out, rallying back from a 2-1 series deficit to claim the win despite the fact that the team struggled in the slaying category, with just one player posting a positive Kill/Death ratio (KD). Just like OpTic Gamings series vs. Cloud9, the difference centered on the Search and Destroy game mode, as FaZe would also struggle, dropping Rounds 2 and 5 in the pivotal series. It will be interesting to see what the next few weeks hold for FaZe now that they are officially out of the CoD XP tournament. Having never won a major tournament during the Call of Duty: Black Ops III season, the fan-favorite organization may opt to make a few roster moves in an attempt to regain its control atop the North American pecking order.It wasnt all doom and gloom however, as FAB Games, one of the upstart teams at Call of Duty XP, continued its surprising run during the world championship.Despite entering the tournament as relative unknowns, FAB Games exploded onto the scene during the third day. Tasked with traversing through an upper bracket filled with its European brethren such as Epsilon and Splyce, FAB Games held its own, blowing past both teams en route to the quarterfinals. FABs win over Splyce, in particular, was impressive as the team rallied back from a 2-0 deficit for the reverse sweep.FAB then ran into Team EnVyUs, and the European team made a comeback, winning its next match in the lower bracket against Cloud9. Already a Cinderella story, FAB could continue to add to the magic with a win over Splyce in the lower bracket quarterfinal match.

Negredo broke the deadlock from close range after a simple move in the 99th minute before Dzeko took the ball round goalkeeper Tim Krul to seal the victory in the 105th. Clearance NFL Jerseys . The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night. Mondays evening slate of NBA action offers up seven games. Which players should you build around and which players should you fade? Our experts have the answers.Todays panel includes ESPN Fantasys Joe Kaiser and Kyle Soppe, plus DFS expert Renee Miller.Players to build aroundJoe Kaiser -- Chris Paul, LA ClippersCP3 is playing like one of the top PGs in the NBA again, coming off a 20-point, 20-assist performance against New Orleans on Saturday, and tonight he has an optimal matchup against Portlands 28th-ranked defense. There are other good options to build around tonight like James Harden and DeMarcus Cousins, but Paul wont cost as much as those guys while still providing a high floor and ceiling.Kyle Soppe -- Clint Capela, Houston RocketsWhat if I told you that there was a cheap big on the board who would allow you to not only stack CP3 and Blake Griffin (assuming active), but to also roster Paul George? Thats what Im looking at tonight by penciling Capela in and spending big just about everywhere else. Is he perfect? No, but he has logged at least 25 minutes in 13 of his last 16 games, and if hes on the court for that long against the Nets, I dont see why he cant achieve value. Brooklyn boasts the third-lowest defensive rebound rate in the NBA, something that should get Capela a couple of easy buckets. The Rockets center isnt a vital part of this offense, but he has taken big steps forward across the his the board sans Dwight Howard, and his efficient ways allow him to overcome an underwhelming usage rate. He is fresh off of a double-double against the Mavericks on Saturday, and if he makes it two in a row, youre off to a phenomenal start.Renee Miller -- Paul George, Indiana PacersIm building around George today, not only because hes been pretty great since returning to the court from an ankle sprain, but because the position doesnt inspire me tonight. George provides a high floor and plenty of upside in a matchup with Charlottes third-best SF matchup in fantasy points allowed. Furthermore, this is a game that Vegas likes to be relatively high-scoring and quite close (Pacers minus-2). George allows you to still spend up for Harrden or Cousins while not resorting to the depths of the depth charts tonight.ddddddddddddPlayers to fadeJoe Kaiser -- Sean Kilpatrick, Brooklyn NetsThe return of Jeremy Lin after a lengthy absence due to a hamstring injury will have a bigger impact on Isaiah Whitehead than it will Kilpatrick, but Kilpatricks playing time, usage and shot attempts are all expected to dip with Lin in the lineup. Kilpatricks surprising start to the season has caused his salary to rise into the mid $5,000s on both DraftKings and FanDuel, and for that price, Im looking at other safer options on Monday.Kyle Soppe -- DeMarcus Cousins, Sacramento KingsI Love me some Boogie and have exposure to him all over the place in annual leagues, but not tonight in DFS. He is roughly 10 percent (depending on the site in which you play) more expensive than any other non-Harden player on this slate, and Im just not willing to pay that price. Yeah yeah yeah, the matchup with the Lakers is a strong one, but thats baked into the price, so its not like youre tricking the DFS community. Coming into this season, Boogie had never made more than one-third of his 3-pointers for a season ... and the dude has attempted at least six triples in five of his last six games. Im not saying he cant have a monster day in this spot, but he has battled foul trouble at times, is settling on the offensive end (also evident by his sporadic FTA totals), and the turnovers might be the most consistent part of his game. There will be plenty of nights to fit his versatile skill set into your lineup -- tonight is not one of those nights for me.Renee Miller -- Damian Lillard, Portland Trail BlazersThere are ample options at PG tonight from superstars to potentially valuable scrubs, so I dont feel the need to risk a substantial portion of my salary cap on Lillard, who faces one of the toughest tasks against CP3. Give me Paul for the same money, in fact! In two meetings this season, Lillard is averaging about 12 fantasy points below his season average versus the Clippers.
