Day 1 of the IEM Oakland League of Legends tournament brought some recently-overlooked teams to the light and proved lopsided regional prowess. The first match of the day saw Europes Unicorns of Love completely dominate Brazils INTZ from start to finish. INTZ was outclassed across the board, and UoL made sure to go for the throat once it found a lead; this was a simple thing to find considering Fabian Exileh Schubert lived up to his post-season peak from earlier this year, completely blowing away INTZs Gabriel Tockers Claumann in both games. Exileh paved the way for the team to work its historically strong rotational play, and it never gave INTZ an opportunity to mount a comeback.The second match was equally lopsided, but more interesting to many Western fans due to the relative obscurity of the teams involved. Oceanias Chiefs made their debut on the IEM stage, only to face South Koreas Longzhu, which was also making its IEM debut. The match started off with an exciting back and forth in Game 1 that almost led to a Chiefs victory thanks to their unexpectedly strong coordination and the efforts from jungler Samuel Spookz Broadley and mid laner Simon Swiffer Papamarkos.Unfortunately, the deficit that their top laner, Brandon Swip3rR Holland, had against Bon-Taek Expession Gu proved to be too much to bear; despite their strong teamfighting the Chiefs just proved unable to fight Longzhu 1-vs-1 in the split push the South Koreans initiated. Game 2 would prove nowhere near as competitive: Longzhu stomped Chiefs flat thanks to an amazing performance from Lee Chaser Sang-hyum, whose early pressure in the solo lanes gave Expession the opportunity to once again dominate Swip3rR and split push the team to a win.Sunday is sure to be an exciting day, as Unicorns take on Team SoloMid while Longzhu will challenge Flash Wolves. With Unicorns in some of the best form in its organizations history, the team is sure to give the hometown heroes a good fight, while Longzhu looks to follow in SK Telecom T1s footsteps from Worlds and thrash the longtime thorn in the side of South Korean hegemony.However the dice fall tomorrow, well be crowning a new champion of the $100,000 tournament come the evening. Expect to see some close and exciting matches, a welcome change after todays bloodbaths. Johnny Bench Jersey Large .

BEREA, Ohio -- Theres snow, gusting winds and temperatures in the low 30s forecast for Sundays game between the Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers.Bone-chilling football weather.For Cleveland rookie quarterback Cody Kessler, it may not feel any colder than last week in Baltimore.Kessler got benched in the second half by Browns coach Hue Jackson, who wasnt getting the production he needed from his young QB and pulled him in favor of veteran Josh McCown. The decision didnt produce a win as the Browns (0-10) were beaten 28-7, assuring the worst start in team history and moving closer to a 0-16 season.The sudden switch stung Kessler. But after a long weekend following the Thursday night game to reflect -- and a meeting with Jackson to clear up any confusion -- the 23-year-old believes it will only make him better.Its hardest after the game, Kessler said of the hurt he felt. But youve got to move on. You cant let it stick in your head, you cant let it continue to bother you, or else thats what youre going to think about. But at the same time you learn from it.And watching that film against Baltimore, things that I wish I couldve done better, different things like that. Its something that you want to move on from, but at the same time carry with you to learn from.A third-round pick who wasnt expected to play at all this season, Kessler has given the Browns glimpses of promise, of potentially being the long-sought answer to their quarterback problems.Hes a competent game manager, throws with accuracy and doesnt force passes where they dont belong.However, Jackson wants more from the position -- a playmaker that can stretch defenses with a deep pass or escape pocket pressure and make a game-changing play.Kessler hasnt done that, which is why Jackson isnt cutting him any slack. The first-year coach is demanding more from Kessler as the Browns, who have lost 13 in a row going back to last season, seek that elusive win.And while Jackson remains tough on his starter, he feels fans and media might want to back off on criticism of Kessler even though the coach is the one who created the drama by replacing him.Lets let the guy play and lets see what it will be when its all said and done, Jackson said Thursday.dddddddddddd He is a young player. He is a rookie. He is in a tough division, played against some of the best defenses in football.Everything is not going to go perfect for him, and it just does not, but I think sometimes when you pull a rookie quarterback everybody goes, `Oh, my gosh, what is this? That happens. This is the National Football League. My job is to win football games. It is not anything else. It is not a popularity contest.This is, I am trying to win every chance I walk out there. If I think there is something I need to do to help our football team win, then that is what I am going to do. I dont care what position it is.Kessler came away from his meetings with Jackson with a better understanding of expectations.I have to play better, he said. I have to extend drives more. I have to do better on third down. I have to be able to finish drives and eliminate three-and-outs. That stuff as a quarterback you learn. You have to continue to put drives together. At the end of the day, coach Jackson has been awesome for me. He has done so much for me.A victory would do a lot for both Jackson and Kessler. Until that comes, Kessler intends to play free and easy and not worry about the potential of Jackson taking him out.You cant feel like that, he said. You cant play scared. You cant play timid. You have to go out and focus on that next moment, that next game, next play and you have to improve on it.Game notes Clevelands endless chase to find a franchise quarterback has held the franchise back. Jackson said its his mission to fix that. I think well do that, he said. Thats why I am here. I came here with that thought in mind that were going to solve this quarterback issue thats been here. Is the guy on our roster now? Were going to find that out. Is the guy somewhere else? Were going to find that out, too. Thats the beautiful part of it, of trying to solve that and I think we will.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
