Things reached a boiling point in the quarterfinals of OGN APEX as European teams EnVyUs and Rogue engaged in all out war. Ronnie Talespin DuPree, the only American, left the EnVyUs lineup and was replaced by Thai player Pongphop Mickie Rattanasangohod.Mickie is an important mention in this team roster swap as he was absolutely key to understanding how in the world EnVyUs were able to upset Rogue in a 3-2 series. He played D.Va on every single map, had an almost perfect usage of her Defense Matrix to protect his team from several Pharah Barrages, and kept his teammates alive long enough to get their ultimates through safely. On both the second and third maps of Kings Row and Lijiang Tower, both teams put up incredible defense and moved to sudden death maps for each.Continuing the journey of upsets, South Korean teams Kongdoo Uncia and Lunatic-Hai occupied the final quarterfinals slot, and while everyone expected Lunatic-Hai to advance, they were cut down in their prime by rising stars Kongdoo Uncia. Kongdoo has looked better and better with each game played during APEX, and their 3-0 over Lunatic-Hai (whove been called the strongest team in South Korea for a very long time), is the proof that their journey was a success. The path to the semifinals is the fruit of their labors. Leaving it as a 3-0 sweep, however, does nothing to describe the thorny path taken, as every battle on Lijiang Tower, Numbani and Temple of Anubis was so close between the two that it could easily have been a Lunatic-Hai victory.With these two upsets, the two teams (and the two favorites to win), that fought in the finals of the APAC Premier in Shanghai are knocked out of the tournament, and the final four teams now have a shot to claim victory. On Wednesday, Nov. 23, the first semifinals match will feature South Korean teams Afreeca Freecs Blue versus BK Stars, both coming off of hot streaks. On Friday, Nov. 25, EnVyUs and Kongdoo Uncia will also take their momentum from today in hopes of clinching a victory at the finish line.Priest Holmes Jersey .

Reggie Ragland Jersey .com) - The Montreal Canadiens embark on their first road trip of the season as they head out west to battle the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.Yorkshire 281 (Lehmann 58, Bresnan 56, Berg 6-56) and 238 for 5 dec (Ballance 72, Lyth 56, Wheal 3-79) drew with Hampshire 222 (Brooks 5-53, Sidebottom 3-45) and 84 for 4, Brooks 3-24 ScorecardThe frustrations Yorkshire must have felt, having certainly been the better of the two teams across the four days and on course for victory were it not for the weather, were most succinctly summarised by Adam Lyth as he scurried through the downpour towards the team bus, shoulders hunched and towel draped over his head. F*****g rain he growled in his thick Yorkshire accent.But it is testament to the quality of this Yorkshire team that a result even appeared to be a possibility heading into this final day. After 77 overs were lost to rain and bad light on a frustrating third day and, with heavy rain forecast by tea on the fourth, the two-time defending champions had, at best, two sessions in which to push for victory. Unlikely? Yes. Impossible? Certainly not.Ultimately the rain forecast for tea did arrive, and ultimately Yorkshire ran out of time but not before they gave Hampshire a scare. When play was halted for the final time at 3.40pm Hampshire were 84 for 4 and had the scheduled 38.2 overs been completed it felt more likely that Yorkshire would take the six wickets than they would not.On a day in which talk of the weather was never far away it feels appropriate to describe this Yorkshire team as a force of nature in their own right and their ability to conjure something out of this rain-ravaged match deserves respect.Not only did they make a game out of a match that, given the 128.2 overs lost to rain, had no right to be as competitive as it was, but they made something out a day that appeared to be petering slowly towards a draw.With Hampshire 50 for 1 midway through the afternoon session, WWill Smith the man to go, and with the ball not swinging and the pitch showing no signs of life, the slim chance of a Yorkshire victory was fading.ddddddddddddIn what seemed to be a final throw of the dice Andrew Gale turned to Jack Brooks, who took five wickets in the first innings, to spark the match into life. How much credit Gale, or indeed Brooks, can take for Tom Alsops miscued pull that ended up in the hands of square leg is questionable, but the change had worked: Yorkshire smelt blood.Fourteen balls later Jimmy Adams was gone too. Propping forward to Brooks, the edge was found and Adam Lyth pouched the catch at second slip. Now the visitors were ticking; the fielders imbued with energy, throws zipped in above the stumps, clapping and chatter echoing around the ground. The light was closing in but so too were Yorkshire. Seven wickets needed.An over of Sidebottom. Two fours, a two and a single. Eleven runs but things were happening. One ball beat the edge, another fizzed off a length. More clapping, more chatter. Then James Vince. The ball was full, with a hint of swing, Vince threw his hands at it outside off stump - this story has been told before - Tim Bresnan took the catch. Four down. Six wickets needed. Hampshire had lost three for 24, Brooks had taken 3 for 12 in a spell that felt match-winning.And then, quite suddenly, the weather intervened. An early tea was taken for bad light. And before long the rain began. At 4.38pm the match was declared a draw.Earlier in the day Yorkshire had huffed and puffed for 22 overs to add 94 to their overnight lead before declaring to set Hampshire 298. In the end it was not the runs that mattered but the time. ' ' '
