KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh sought out Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith on Friday night, warmly greeting him on the field before their preseason game. It was the kindest the 49ers were to their former teammate all night. Smith struggled against a relentless pass rush while playing the entire first half for Kansas City, even taking a couple wicked shots from the San Francisco defence, and then watched as backup quarterback B.J. Daniels threw a late touchdown pass to give the 49ers a 15-13 victory. "It was different, definitely different," Smith said. "Those are guys I played a long time with and know very well. There was a lot of talking out there, back and forth from a lot of guys." It turned out to be a strange reunion for Harbaugh, too. "It felt a lot like going against my brother," he said. "It was different. It was personal, in the best kind of way. I wish him great success and health. Well be following him." Great success and health? Hardly. Smith was wrestled to the ground at least half a dozen times by the 49ers defence, the most vicious blow coming in the second quarter, when defensive tackle Tony Jerod-Eddie levelled a helmet-to-helmet hit. He was flagged for a personal foul on the play. All the pressure prevented the Chiefs from moving the ball the way they did last week in New Orleans, when the No. 1 offence scored a touchdown on its only drive in a 17-13 defeat. Smith was just 7 of 16 for 62 yards through the air. "Listen, I expect us to score every time we have the ball," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. "I dont expect any less than that. So did I expect more? Yeah." Phil Dawson hit all three of his field-goal attempts for the 49ers, two of them 55-yarders, while the Chiefs Quintin Demps returned a kickoff 104 yards for a touchdown. Colin Kaepernick, who took over Smiths starting job in San Francisco last season, only played the first offensive series. He threw just two passes, one a completion for minus-3 yards and the other a misfire toward wide receiver Chad Hall, who was running free to the end zone. "It was a little overthrown," Kaepernick said. "We got the perfect look." Colt McCoy and Scott Tolzien alternated series for the 49ers once Kaepernick left, but neither distinguished himself in the race for the No. 2 quarterback job. McCoy threw for 35 yards but also tossed an interception, while Tolzien threw for only 30 yards. The Chiefs played without Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles, who strained his right foot when he stepped on a teammate in practice Monday. Charles worked out before the game and the team considers him day-to-day, though Reid wouldnt discuss his status for next weeks game. "Well see when we start practice on Sunday how I feel," Charles said. "Im trying to get my body ready and back in shape." The main story line, though, was Smith facing his former team. After leading San Francisco to the playoffs and getting off to a good start last year, he lost the top job when he got hurt. 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh stuck with Kaepernick once Smith was healthy enough to return, and then traded the former No. 1 pick to the Chiefs this past off-season. Smith has mostly taken the high road when asked about how things went down. And if there was any lingering animosity, it seemed to dissolve when he spoke to Harbaugh before the game. "The first time I ever played against my former team was in a preseason game and it was a great thrill," Harbaugh said. "Im sure that he felt that tonight." Once the game started, it was special teams that provided the thrills. Demps, whos trying to solidify a job returning kicks for Kansas City, sent the first shock through a meagre crowd at Arrowhead Stadium in the first quarter. He fielded a kickoff after the first of Dawsons field goals, found a crease and out-ran the coverage for a touchdown. The Chiefs havent had a kickoff return for a score in a regular-season game November 2009, when Charles brought one back against the Pittsburgh Steelers. "Jamaal Charles? He got some return game?" Demps asked? "I got to get some tips from him." The 49ers special teams also shined in the third quarter, when backup linebacker Parys Haralson blocked a punt by Dustin Colquitt. Haralson recovered the ball to set up the second of Dawsons 55-yard field goals -- both of them had plenty of distance to spare. Those were the 49ers only points until Daniels hit Chuck Jacobs from 14 yards out with 2:02 left for the go-ahead touchdown, their first touchdown of the preseason after managing only field goals in a 10-6 loss last week to Denver.

With the Boston Major less a month away, each Dota 2 LAN event will be a test for the teams making the trip to Massachusetts. Even though there are several opportunities for squads to get their jitters out, this weekends Summit 6 might be the best chance for the eight teams to identify problem areas and feel out other teams strategies.The Summit 6 is the only LAN between now and December that will have solely Boston-bound teams in attendance. The top three of the last International, as well as some of the most promising invites and qualifiers, will compete for a $100,000 prize pool and a strong start headed into the first major of the 2017 season.Direct invites: Wings Gaming Digital Chaos Evil Geniuses OGWings, DC and EG are the three clear titans of The Summit, coming off their respective first, second and third performances at TI6. OG, despite having a less-than-desirable finish in Seattle, have come out swinging from the offseason, and they round out the direct invites as one of the stronger European squads.The Chinese TI champions of Wings have been maintaining their streak, sticking together as five through the offseason and taking two LAN victories at the Nanyang Cruise Cup and last weeks Northern Arena BEAT Invitational. There is no slouching for Wings either; they still hold an impressive 91 percent series win rate. Wings Gaming still looks like a strong favorite for The Summit after excelling at Dota 2.Digital Chaos are the odd ducks, having only competed in the gimmick Elimination Mode 2.0 tournament since taking second in Seattle. Results from there have been mixed, as the team fell 2-0 to Team NP but proceeded to take Complexity and Kaipi out of the tournament. The Summit 6 will be DCs first full-fledged LAN and the first indication of whether or not this North American Cinderella story can stay at the front of the pack.The other NA powerhouse, Evil Geniuses, has been on a LAN streak, taking first at the MarsTV Dota 2 League 2016 Autumn and taking series over OG, NP and Newbee. Newly christened captain Andreas Cr1t- Franck Nielsen has washed away any concerns about EG 2.0. There have been a few missteps, like a recent fourth-place finish at Northern Arena to Team NP, but considering the entire series, EG looks primed and ready for its first Summit win and maybe its first major.For OG, performance at The Summit 6 could be critical. The start of the 2017 season has seen a changing of the guard in Europe; the long-standing franchises such as Team Liquid, Natus Vincere and Alliance have been slowly falling. OG represents this new power as a fledgling organization entering its second year after a rough finish to the first. All eyes will be on two key players: Anathan ana Pham, the talented but unproven mid laner, and seasoned veteran Gustav s4 Magnusson in his new offlane position. Pham has been struggling to find footing, and Magnusson has looked steady but repetitive in drafts,, often being put on comfort picks like Batrider.dddddddddddd Explosive plays from these two could mean the difference between the middle of the pack or a top-three finish in Los Angeles.The qualifiers EHOME Team Faceless Virtus.pro Team NPDespite their status as qualifiers, these four teams represent real threats at The Summit. While some teams have abstained from attending competitions and LANs, these four squads have been busy making themselves known in the scene. The talent pool and results show one fact about these qualified outfits: There will be no free wins at The Summit.EHOME surprised many with a direct invite to Boston, but recent results in The Summit qualifiers and NA BEAT showed the teams prowess. The five players of EHOME advanced effortlessly through the upper bracket of the qualifiers, dropping only a single game in the entire tournament, and took a recent third in Montreal at the BEAT Invitational. EHOME did struggle in the most recent DotaPit qualifiers, though, and teams attending The Summit will likely be eyeing those series to find out where EHOMEs regional contenders found holes in the armor.Virtus.pro, meanwhile, has been making a great deal of noise in the European region. The core duo of Roman RAMZES666 Kushnarev and Vladimir No[o]ne Minenko are formidable, and the VP squad has toppled almost every squad in Europe, including titans such as Team Secret and Team Liquid, to earn a spot for Boston. OG will be especially aware of VP as a threat, but other teams not familiar with the region could possibly overlook the teams success and fall prey.The truly silent success has been Team Faceless. Coming from the Southeast Asian region, Faceless looks to continue the streak of SEA teams defying expectations and surpassing traditionally dominant regions in Dota 2. The teams captain, Daryl iceiceice Koh Pei Xiang, cannot be dissociated with Faceless success, but core role Dominik Black^ Reitmeier has been exceptional in his return to the safe lane and professional play. Look for Reitmeier to put up impressive numbers in Los Angeles.If Faceless and VP are the under-the-radar teams, Team NP has been broadcasting on all channels. Formed after a falling out from former teams, Jacky EternaLEnVy Mao has been leading this motley crew of North American pros on a crusade of upsets and victories, reminiscent of the heyday of Cloud 9s Dota 2 days. The plays, for the most part, have been more stable and consistent, but theres still an element of surprise to everything NP does, varying between brilliance and confoundment. Still, this is one of the most entertaining teams to watch in Dota 2 right now, and given NPs recent ability to upset top squads such as EHOME and Evil Geniuses, NP looks less like a dark horse and more of a favorite for a top-three finish.
