SANTA MONICA, Calif. -- It was less than a year ago that the?Dallas Cowboys star rookie duo of running back Ezekiel Elliott and quarterback Dak Prescott were at the NFL Combine attempting to woo potential suitors through myriad tasks testing their mental and physical attributes. Today, the two are starters in the NFL on the current best team in the league, at 8-1, and first-rounder Elliot could challenge for league MVP.On Tuesday at the LCS Arena near the beaches of Los Angeles, 20 League of Legends amateurs began their own journey to write the script of their future careers. Under the support of four NA LCS teams in Immortals, Counter Logic Gaming, Echo Fox and Team Liquid, four teams were born to represent the elemental Drakes inside Summoners Rift: Mountain (IMT), Cloud (CLG), Infernal (FOX) and the aptly dubbed Ocean (TL).These ramshackle squads were represented by members of the team guiding the rookies through the combine. CLGs Ocean, for example, had both captain Zaqueri Aphromoo Black and head coach Tony Zikzlol Gray to shepherd the prospects. From there, the brainy quartet sat down in a private room to commence the drafting portion of the event, dividing the rookies into four even teams. The first overall pick, to Ocean, was jungler Omar OmarGod Amin, who entered the rookie field as one of the favorites to impress in the weeklong test of skills.Following the top selection, AD carry Deftly was selected by Team Infernal, mid laner Tuesday was picked up by Mountain, and another jungler, Wiggily, was scooped up by Liquids Team Ocean to round out the first-round picks.After the draft, the players dispersed into their newly chosen tribes and put on fresh uniforms to begin their quest to be the last team standing at the end of the week. The teams will play through Friday night, and a standout player might find himself earning a contract from one of the observing NA LCS clubs. While the players got to know each other, the first day was essentially up to the teams themselves -- no official matches are scheduled until Wednesday night.A team could have theoretically taken their respective rookies to an amusement park for the day; however, as expected, teams went straight into working, with scrimmages scheduled into the night. Also, each team was partnered with a media crew, and ESPN Esports was selected to cover Team Mountain for the duration of the tournament.While several teams stayed at the LCS Arena studios to play in the scrimmage rooms, Team Mountain trekked to the Immortals team house to get the full experience of playing as professionals. A few players reflected on the feeling of sitting in the chairs of some of the elites in the league, such as former MVP and 2016 all-star Kim Reignover Ui-jin.We only get to train them for so many hours for so many days. We wanted to make sure all of our picks were above average or better, Team Mountain coach and new Immortals strategic head coach David Hermes Tu said after a pair of scrimmages to begin the day. We werent shooting too high, like star players, and we werent shooting too low. We didnt want any problem [players] we couldnt resolve by the end of the week, so I think we started out our draft strong.On what he looks to get out of the experience, he said his teams victories would be his own.[Ill enjoy] hopefully what they will enjoy, which is to make sure they know its not about winning, although winning is nice, Hermes said. It might be their sole experience and being exposed to what professional play is like and whether if they want to do it or not. I hope it gives them a good perspective of what is ahead of them.Although a winner will be crowned at the end of the combine, Hermes preached learning and achieving goals as a unit over taking the top prize. With only four days to play together before the event is over, this could be the one chance these players have to separate themselves from the faceless slew of amateurs in the North American ladder.A team house, dedicated scrims, playing side-by-side with your teammates and a legitimate coaching staff behind you make for an opportunity of a lifetime for Team Mountain.Tuesday, the top pick of the team, is confident he can impress in the mid lane, but itll take a five-man effort to stand above the rest. The official games begin Wednesday, and the hopes of a few prospects will begin to be snuffed out. Wholesale Yeezy Authentic .

LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- After two seasons of uncertainty about who his starting quarterback might be, Louisville coach Bobby Petrino begins his third year with the comfort of knowing Lamar Jackson is in charge entering fall camp.The Cardinals have other luxuries as practice opens Wednesday.Louisville returns 17 starters, including 10 on offense, from a squad that finished 8-2 with a bowl win after starting 0-3. While that momentum hasnt changed media preseason projections of Louisville finishing behind Clemson and Florida State in the Atlantic Coast Conferences Atlantic Division, Petrino and players plan on taking aim at the top spot and beyond -- especially with depth and experience at many positions.I embrace the high expectations. Thats what we want, Petrino said Tuesday during a news conference. We want to be in a situation where people believe, players believe and I believe that weve got a chance to go compete to win a championship. ... Now its time to shut up and go work.Petrino praised his teams work ethic this summer that has resulted in a group returning faster and stronger than before. He was especially happy with the dedication and progress made by Jackson after a dynamic debut running and throwing the ball.Jackson rushed for a school freshman-record 960 yards, threw for 1,840 and combined for 23 touchdowns. He accounted for more than 450 yards from scrimmage alone in the Cardinals Music City Bowl win over Texas A&M, and Petrino said he has worked hard on improving in every facet.However, the coach wouldnt mind seeing more speed from Jackson and joked, When he tucks it, I want to see him run faster. I think he got caught from behind too many times.Jacksons return is significant for a team that entered the past two seasons somewhat unsettled behind center. Consider that Petrino sent JJackson and presumed starter Reggie Bonnafon out to begin last seasons opener against Auburn for a trick play that ended with Jackson throwing an interception after a botched snap.ddddddddddddThe sophomore has come a long way since then and said at last months ACC media day that hes been hitting the books hard trying to demonstrate his maturity. Jackson will have some experienced targets to throw to including Bonnafon, who relishes his new role as a slot receiver along with having continuity in the pocket.I wouldnt say things are too much different, but it just that weve finally got the guy, Bonnafon said. Now, everybody knows what they have to do and what we need to do and can focus on becoming experts at our positions.One priority is replacing standout defensive lineman Sheldon Rankins, who was selected 12th overall in the NFL draft by New Orleans. Louisville must also establish depth around senior DeAngelo Brown (career-high 40 tackles, 6.5 for loss with two sacks), the only returning starter up front.Brown said it will be different playing without Rankins but added, I feel like weve got great guys to step in for him.The linebacker corps returns Devonte Fields and Keith Kelsey but must replace Trevon Young, who will redshirt this season with a hip injury. Petrino also seeks new faces on special teams with the departures of reliable place kicker John Wallace and punter Josh Appleby.I look forward to the competition, Petrino said. I truly believe that the players set the depth (chart). ... I also believe that as a player, you need to show your teammates that youre the starter and the team knows who should be out there.Louisville opens Sept. 1 against Charlotte. ' ' '
