Two of Counter-Strike: Global Offensives most prized organizations faced off last night in Atlanta, Georgia for a chance at $390,000 and the inaugural trophy of Turner Sports and WME-IMGs televised league, ELeague. The Swedes of Fnatic, who have stood firmly on top of the scene since the early days of competitive CS:GO, faced off with the Poles of Virtus.Pro, a team that has retained the longest-standing lineup the game has seen.Unexpectedly, Virtus.Pro took it all, brute-forcing their way against the stronghold of Fnatic in a quick 2-0. The team channeled what fans refer to as the Virtus Plow, a play on the teams name when its performance is so strong that games tend to go heavily in their favor.Known for their chaotic playing style, Virtus.Pro hs cemented itself as one of Europes best teams, and neck-and-neck with its sister organization Natus Vincere (Na`Vi) for first and second in Eastern Europe. In the teams post-win press conference, Rifler Filip NEO Kubski said, The plow is just organized chaos.Following the win, we spoke with rifler Jaros?aw pashaBiceps Jarz?bkowski, whos been a core member of the team since its days in Counter-Strike 1.6, the previous version of the game. He said it was the perfect day as he planned to go to dinner and then the ELeague after-party following his big win.It feels very good, he said. Were back to the top. We always love America and always have a good performance [here] so we proved it one more time. When were in America, we play the best Counter-Strike ever.Over the past few months, Virtus.Pro has had ups and downs in its placements. Recently, the team took third/fourth at the ESL One Cologne 2016 major, but in May, it was relegated from the ESL Pro League, one of three premiere competitive Counter-Strike leagues. Pasha said that those ups and downs are to be expected.When you always know that there will sometimes be ups and sometimes be downs, my friend, its a normal thing in life, he said. You cant give up when youre alone in the forest. You cant give up when youre down. We never give up. Were always fighting, talking about the game, talking to each other, about whats the problem. We try to fix things to always be at the top.One proposed solution was roster changes. But Pasha explained that keeping the team together has allowed the players to become family, knowing each other both in-game and on a personal level. For the past month, the team has stayed in hotels in Atlanta to compete in ELeagues last-chance qualifier and playoffs, with only a break to play in Cologne for the major.Were like family. Sometimes we spend more time in the events together than at home, he said. Everyone knows each other very, very well. Some days we can be fighting and have fighting words, and then the next day, we can go through and make a handshake, and say, sorry, man, it was my fault. Lets talk about it. Then the next day, we can win the event.The band of brothers share more than just time together. Like other Counter-Strike teams, such as Fnatic, SK Gaming, Team EnVyUs, and Ninjas in Pyjamas, the players on the team share the same nationality.Of course it helps [to be the same nationality,] Pasha said. I dont know how it works in soccer. Theyre usually a lot of different nationalities. But in Counter-Strike, it helps because its only five or six people per team, right? We can talk in-game in [Polish]. We can talk every second. It makes it easier for teamwork and to communicate with each other.That communication led to last nights big win. But that wasnt the only thing Pasha was excited about. Earlier in the day yesterday, UFC president Dana White showed up to the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta to meet some of the players, view the event setup, and see the staff, some who work for the company that recently bought UFC for $4 billion, WME-IMG..@DanaWhite catches up with @paszaBiceps of @teamvirtuspro in Atlanta ahead of the @EL finals at 4pm today on TBS pic.twitter.com/jsMHiSxkd3- UFC (@ufc) July 30, 2016If I retire, my friend, maybe Ill make some sneaky plan to make the UFC of the esports players, Pasha said. Maybe, who knows? After the party today, were going to the UFC in Atlanta.A league of fighters between esports players would certainly be an interesting endeavor. Unlike the stereotype of basement dwellers, many Counter-Strike athletes specifically have heavy workout regimens and keep in shape, including Pasha. If his proposed league were to become a reality, I ask him who hed want to fight. His answer is simple.[Id want to fight] the strongest one, he says. But I dont know whos the strongest one, whos the most sneaky, and good at fighting, but itd be fun if the players would have their own league like in MMA. Itd be very fun.San Diego Padres Shirts .

But back at Miller Park, Nieuwenhuis has been a machine, posting a .304 average (38-for-125) with nine doubles, nine home runs, a triple and 24 RBI.Its pretty impressive, the numbers at home, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Theyre mind-boggling, really, the differences. Its a hard one to explain, and Im not going to be able to explain it.Nieuwenhuis went 3-for-18 on Milwaukees recent road trip, appearing in five of six games against the Padres and Diamondbacks.Ive just tried to change my mentality a little bit, Nieuwenhuis said. Ive just been pressing a lot the last three or four weeks.Ive tried to take it one pitch at a time and see where that takes me.Nobody would appreciate an offensive outburst more than right-hander Zach Davies, who takes the mound Monday looking for his fourth consecutive start in fifth in his llast five decisions.ddddddddddddDavies hasnt allowed more than two earned runs in any of his last five outings, posting a 1.97 ERA with 21 strikeouts and six walks in 32 innings during that stretch.When he gets into a groove, he runs through a lineup pretty good, Counsell said.Hell be facing the Braves for the first time in his career.Atlantas scheduled starter, rookie right-hander Rob Whalen, will go for his first career victory. He made his major league debut Aug. 3, allowing four runs on four hits -- including a home run -- and four walks with five strikeouts over five innings of work, but didnt take a decision in Atlantas 8-4 victory over the Pirates.He allowed all four runs in the first inning, but settled in quickly after that.Obviously the game didnt start how either of us hoped it would, but the end result was exactly what we were looking for, said Braves catcher Anthony Recker. He did a great job getting through that first inning and then just bearing down and making pitches after that.I just told him we were still behind him and we were going to come back and win the game, just keep pitching your butt off and we got ya. And he did that.Whalen was having a strong year in Atlantas minor league system, going a combined 7-6 with a 2.40 ERA for Double-A Mississippi and Triple-A Gwinnett, where he made three starts and allowed just four runs in 18 2/3 innings of work while striking out 18.
