After a disappointing performance from Wings Gaming at the Manila Major, it was a wonder how this team had a run like the one seen at the The Summit 5.Wings showed up in Los Angeles this past week and demonstrated exactly that prowess, roaring through the winners side of the bracket to secure a spot in the grand finals. Meeting Wings in the finals were OG, the favorite for this tournament and one of the strongest teams in Dota 2 right now. The champions of Manila, OG were the biggest barrier Wings could have faced.Game one set the tone early for OG, as the European pros played fast and furious against Wings. Drow Ranger, a pick commonly used by the Chinese squad, was selected in the first round by OG and rounded out by an aggressive Oracle, Axe, Tusk and Medusa draft. Wings attempted to respond with a risky draft involving Warlock and Riki, which had potential for snowballing against the Drow-centered composition, but it never got off the ground against the dominating Drow Ranger play from OGs Johann N0tail Sundstein.With game one in OGs favor, it was clear Wings Gaming had to pull out some better drafts, focusing more on team cohesion than individual counters. OG drafted a strange composition, hinging on David MoonMeander Tans play on the aggressive offlane Legion Commander. Turning to a Huskar pick for Chu Shadow Zeyu, complimented by an Ogre Magi and Dazzle for supports, Wings executed a much more aggressive, team-oriented style that quickly shut down OGs odd draft and evened the series out.Wings continued its dominance through a convincing game three with a surprisingly routine draft. Despite a strong performance from Amer Miracle- Barqawi on an unconventional Storm Spirit pick, the OG draft didnt click and Wings slowly but surely steamrolled into the Dire base, taking OG to match point.Game four saw OG draft a more reserved strategy, even getting strong signature pick in Miracle-s Invoker. Wings seemed indifferent, putting mid laner Zhou bLink Yang on a dynamic Timbersaw in response. While both teams offlanes struggled, the Timbersaw of bLink continued to spiral out of control, racking up kill after kill against OG. There were a few signs of life, but ultimately OG couldnt overcome the massive lead Wings gained in the mid lane, and GGs were called at 34-minutes, with Wings taking the series 3-1.After the finals, OG lost two series in a row to Wings, with the Chinese squad looking calmly dominant and much closer to its strength pre-Manila. Though this was only a small tournament compared to The International, this could also be realization for OG and other top teams to not count out this unpredictable lineup in Seattle.

Goalie Roberto Luongo, getting the call in place of Game 1 starter Carey Price, was solid when needed in making 23 saves for the shutout.SAN DIEGO, California - Edwin Encarnacion was at third base on Friday night as the Blue Jays opened a three-game series against the Padres. With the absence of Brett Lawrie, on the disabled list with a sprained left ankle, and with the designated hitter spot out of play under National League rules, Encarnacions move to third opens up first base for Adam Lind. Look for a similar lineup on Sunday against the Padres and on Tuesday in San Francisco, when the Jays are scheduled to face right-handed starters. The Giants have yet to determine who will pitch on Wednesday. "I think its going to be fine," said third base coach Luis Rivera, who doubles as the clubs infield instructor. "He takes ground balls at first base every day. Its a different angle but hes taking ground balls is the thing. He took ground balls (Thursday,) he took about 30 ground balls, maybe a little bit more than that. He threw to first base, he felt comfortable, he was moving his feet well like hes doing at first base and he made all good throws to first. So thats a good thing." Encarnacion was a third baseman when he began his major league career with the Cincinnati Reds. Since his trade to Toronto, for Scott Rolen on July 31, 2009, Encarnacion has been the Jays third baseman in 174 games. It was a struggle, both with the glove and the throw across the diamond. Encarnacions made 34 errors playing third in Toronto. At his low point, in 2010, Encarnacion was designated for assignment with the prevailing belief that his struggles in the field were affecting his hiitting.dddddddddddd It was a perfect storm. These are different times. "Hes way more confident now than he used to be," said Rivera. "He doesnt have to worry about being sent down or anything else that was going on at that time. He is very comfortable now, hes doing a great job, hes swinging the bat, hes catching the ball at first base so his confidence is high and he knows hes not going to be staying there. Its just going to be a few days and hes comfortable with that, hes fine with that, whatever the team needs hes going to do it for us." The early returns on Friday night were positive. With one out in the first, Padres right fielder Chris Denorfia laid a down a bunt toward third. Encarnacion charged, barehanded the ball and made the off-balance throw to first. In the fourth, Encarnacion hit his club-leading 15th home run. MORROW UNCERTAIN FOR SUNDAY Brandon Morrows forearm strain is threatening to keep him out of his next scheduled start, Sunday against the Padres. "Morrow is up in the air for Sunday," said manager John Gibbons. "Hes feeling a little bit better but, two days away, I dont know. I havent had a chance to talk to the trainers and the pitching coach just yet but its dicey." Morrow went out to play long toss on Friday afternoon but shut down the session early. The 28-year-old removed himself from Tuesdays game against the Braves after only two innings, complaining of soreness in his forearm. On Wednesday, Morrow told TSN.ca he would argue his case to make Sundays start. ' ' '
