Few knew the name Warriors Gaming Unity coming into the Boston Major. The Southeast Asian qualifier had bested Fnatic and Mineski on their way to a qualifier spot, but were underplayed and overlooked.Heads started turning in the group stage though, when this scrappy team beat defending International champs Wings Gaming 2-1 to open the Boston Major. WGU came out of the group the third seed, but had dealt a blow to Wings, and after beating Complexity in the first round of the main bracket, are now guaranteed a top 8 finish at the teams first majors appearance.Five-role support Yap xNova Jian Wei described his team as very excited to be in the top 8 in Boston.Very excited, said Wei. Very excited, and we are happy with our results.At the time, the team was waiting for the results of OG vs. MVP Phoenix, which would determine his teams round-of-eight opponent. Wei said the team preferred to face MVP Phoenix; being from the same region, Unity had more experience playing MVP and would know their strategies better. OG succeeded though, a team that WGU is a little more wary to face.It would be tough, I think, said Wei of facing OG. We would still try our best.Expanding on a choice between a familiar opponent or the European powerhouse of OG, Warriors Gaming Unity coach Beh Kok Wang highlighted the trouble teams like Warriors Gaming Unity faces in large international tournaments like the Boston Major.We have played [MVP] so many times, so we know them better than OG, obviously, said Wang. This is the first time weve been outside of Southeast Asia or China, and this is the first time weve met OG, to play them.Smaller teams from regions like Southeast Asia often dont have the chance to scrim or compete in interregional tournaments, for reasons ranging from distance to lack of infrastructure to support the teams. Wang says many teams in Southeast Asia dont have the resources to travel to other countries to scrim and train. The hope is that, as SEA teams continue to perform well at tournaments, larger sponsors will find their way into the region and help reinforce the Dota scene there.For Warriors Gaming Unity, though, Boston has been about getting that travel and training, in one of the most high-pressure situations possible.So far [the major] has been a really good experience,said Wang. We have learned a lot, about how [other teams] play.Opponents here are much stronger, Wei told ESPN. And youve got all the top teams here, compared to the teams in our region.When considering the possibility of making a run at the Eaglesong trophy, both coach and player have aspirations, but keep expectations in check.There is a chance, of course, but we still believe in miracles sometimes, right? said Wang. Theres a chance, but a slight chance. We try our best anyway, because for us theres nothing to lose. We came in as an underdog, so nothing to lose, and if we win its a bonus.The underdogs of Unity have certainly made the most of their time in Boston. Though the weather is a bit colder than the team might have expected, and food has been an interesting experience (We can still go to Chinatown, jokes Wang about American eating options), WGU appreciates the opportunity given to them advancing this far in a major. Wei has especially taken advantage to get some time watching games from his favorite player in Dota 2, Virtus.Pros Ilya Lil Ilyuk.As a support, he impacts the game a lot, said Wei. He led the team, brought it together and made a top team in CIS.When thinking about the future, towards the distant but ever-looming International, hopes are there but kept in measure. Warriors Gaming Unity will likely be competing with the other talented teams, like Team Faceless, a reforged Fnatic and MVP Phoenix to earn a spot at the tournament.We havent planned that far yet, said Wang. Well just start with the Spring Major first. Justin Morneau Jersey .

Pert has formerly spent time as an assistant coach with Cardiff City, Coventry City, and Bahrain mens national team. "Martyn is a highly-respected coach with experience at the top levels in England," said Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- When the Ravens and Patriots have met in New England in recent years, it has usually been a close affair.In the six games the Ravens have played at Gillette Stadium since coach John Harbaugh took over in 2008 they are 2-4, with their four defeats coming by average of four points. That includes a 35-31 loss in the division round of the playoffs in 2015.Such tight games typically leave little room for error. That means special teams play could play a big role Monday night.For the Patriots that would shine a light on two players in particular: kicker Stephen Gostkowski and punt returner Cyrus Jones.Gostkowski had a rocky start to the season by his standards, missing three extra points. It marked the first time since his rookie season in 2006 that he had missed even a single extra point. He also has misfired on four field goals -- his most misses since 2012.But after going 4 for 4 on field goals in Sundays win over the Rams -- including three makes of 45 or more yards -- the AFCs Special Teams Player of the Week feels like he is trending in the right direction.Its a start. Its one game, Gostkowski said. Every week is a different challenge. You just got to battle, keep your head down, stay humble and show up, but control your attitude and your effort. And make sure both of those are good and have faith in the process that what youve been doing is going to continue.Confidence has been lacking for Jones, who cant shake himself free of the fumbles that cloud his rookie season.New England didnt have a first-round draft pick this yeear as part of its Deflategate punishment.dddddddddddd But it used its second-round pick on Jones, who had returned four punts for touchdowns as a senior at Alabama.But in nine punt returns this season, Jones is averaging only 4.7 yards and has four fumbles. After a muffed punt in the win over Los Angeles, he was replaced by Danny Amendola, who promptly suffered an ankle injury that could keep him sidelined this week.A subdued Jones took ownership of his struggles before practice on Wednesday, and said that despite his issues hes still hoping to get more chances to prove himself.Ill just take whatever opportunities I get, Jones said. Dannys out, so somebody has to get back there and try to do it.He said theres no magic to breaking out of his current funk, adding that once he can get over the initial step of catching the ball cleanly, he can run with it.Thats the easy part, he said.In the meantime hes still trying to mend fences with the coaching staff. A big night against the Ravens would certainly aid that.Its tough to gain the trust of the coaches when you keep going out there and keep muffing punts and doing things like that, he said. So its on me. The coaches keep giving me opportunities because they know what I can do... once I get the bad football eliminated.---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/khightower---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
