Moving forward, was Peter ppd Dagers response to the question of how Evil Geniuses were recuperating from a rough showing at the Manila Major. The captain of Evil Geniuses had a lot on his mind, and the team could spare only a few minutes after a full day of boot camping.Every response he made was short, direct, honest. Dager didnt like to mince words, and he had little reason to. Evil Geniuses were facing a very different international landscape compared to 2015, and though he said they werent feeling the pressure, there became an inherent level of expectation for this team.Changing the playbookA shift in team dynamic seemed necessary after a disappointing finish in Manila. It was the wake-up call for the American squad, and with The International on the horizon, there wasnt much room in the schedule to slowly work out the issues. Luckily, the replacement offlane EG acquired was a former member of the team. Saahil UNiVeRsE Arora had been with the team when it took home the Aegis at last years International.Coming back wasnt a hard transition, said Arora. Referencing his time with the team in the past, both he and EGs other new addition, Ludwig zai W?hlberg, were quickly getting back up to speed.I played with EG before, so theres no extra pressure, no spotlight, said Arora.According to Dager, the biggest change wasnt in these returning members, but in the changing role of Clinton Fear Loomis. Fear moved from the one-role to a support position after last years International, but since Arora and W?hlbergs return, he has been back in the carry role. Loomis change in roles has his influence extending further into the game, an element that EG has been adjusting to well.The biggest difference in shotcalling is probably Fears role in late-game leadership, said Dager. Moving Fear from the four to the one-role has been the biggest change in shotcalling.Meanwhile, in the mid lane, Syed SumaiL Sumail Hassan has been finding his groove again. The young prodigy made a name for himself at TI5, showcasing fantastic play across a number of heroes. But Storm isnt in the meta anymore, and Sumail has had to adjust his playstyle. Mirana has been a solid pick-up, but at the recent StarLadder finals, Sumail ran some unusual mids: Oracle and Ancient Apparition, two heroes rarely seen in the middle lane. Dager hinted that they hadnt fully planned to draft either for Sumail, but it came from the mid laners own suggestion.We were a little bit YOLO, Dager said about the unconventional picks. But Sumail felt confident and we trusted him.Preparing for the main eventBoth Dager and Arora said boot camp had been going well, as the team prepped for the big event in Seattle. EG is in the midst of its intensive training for TI6, right off the tail end of a long qualifier run. Due to roster shifts, the team had to fight its way into the International, past a long line of teams aiming for their shot at the throne.When asked about burnout before TI6, though, neither player expressed weariness. This is also the time of the year where teams have to show up, said Dager.EG is no exception. Theres no room for excuses and the landscape certainly isnt the easiest to handle either, as this patch has been the hardest to read. Theres no overarching strategy or theme beyond just teamwork, smart play and capitalizing on mistakes. Dager has found that his team has been fine with this mindset.We have no set playstyle, really, said Dager. So the patch has been good for us.But this years International might be the most competitive yet. There are favorites, but many of the teams could have a shot at the top. Theres six or seven teams who could win TI this year, Dager explained. Hes reticent to divulge the top teams at the event but he does chat a bit about what teams he might root for.NaVi would be a cool team to watch win, said Dager. Referencing the teams recent LAN win at the StarLadder i-League StarSeries finals, EGs captain said it was cool seeing NaVi take home the victory in Los Angeles. Dager also expressed interest in playing Wings at TI6, due to the teams interesting playstyle and drafting. Air Force 1 Mænd .875,000, avoiding arbitration.

WASHINGTON -- The final buzzer sounded, and Marylands players stormed the court to celebrate an improbable win over neighboring Georgetown.It didnt matter that it was only the second game of the season, or that neither team was ranked. The Terrapins had just erased a nine-point deficit over the span of 2 1/2 minutes, and it was time to revel in the moment.We just kept fighting, said Maryland guard Melo Trimble, who capped a 22-point performance by sinking two free throws with 7.6 seconds remaining in a 76-75 victory Tuesday night.Georgetown led 68-59 with 2:21 to go before the Terrapins used a game-ending 17-7 run.We beat a great team tonight, Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. Except for fouling, we really guarded well.Maryland (2-0) limited the Hoyas (1-1) to 16 field goals but was outscored 37-17 at the foul line. The Terps won despite going 7 for 27 from beyond the arc and being whistled for 32 fouls.It was 75-72 when Trimble scored on a drive to get Maryland within a point. Tre Campbell then stepped out of bounds for the Hoyas after being pressured in the back court.This is how crazy basketball is: Im yelling foul at the top of my lungs, and he steps out of bounds, Turgeon said. We were very fortunate tonight.Trimble was subsequently fouled while receiving the long inbound pass, made both foul shots, and Terps freshman Kevin Huerter blocked a driving shot by Jagan Mosely just before the final buzzer.While the Terrapins celebrated, the Hoyas somberly trudged off the court.We have to grow. We have to get better. We have to learn from our mistakes, coach John Thompson III said. Just too many mental errors down at the end.L.J. Peak scored 19 of his 22 points in the second half for Georgetown and Rodney Pryor added 14.ddddddddddddTHE RIVALRY RENEWEDMaryland beat the Hoyas 75-71 last season and, with this victory, leads the series 38-27. This marked the first time Georgetown hosted Maryland since the 1993-94 season, even though the schools are only 20 miles apart.FAB FRESHMENMaryland received a huge contribution from its first-year players. In addition to getting a huge defensive play from Huerter, the Terps got 17 points from Justin Jackson and 11 from Anthony Cowan, including four free throws in the final 19 seconds.MELO SHINESTrimble scored 22 points in Marylands opener, an unimpressive 62-56 win over American that dropped the Terrapins out of the top 25.Maryland needed every one of his 22 points against Georgetown.Hes an outstanding player, Thompson said. He did what good players do -- he made plays.BIG PICTUREMaryland: The Terps showed vast improvement from their disappointing showing against American, providing evidence that this freshman-laden team will get better as the season progresses.Georgetown: The Hoyas received an ideal tune-up for the rigorous, physical play that lies ahead in the Big East. Georgetowns 37 for 42 showing at the foul line showed it knows how to take advantage of an overly aggressive defense. They do, however, need work at closing games.UP NEXTMaryland resumes play Thursday night at home against St. Marys (Md.) College, a Division III school that competes in the Capital Athletic Conference.Georgetown faces visiting Arkansas State on Thursday night at McDonough Arena, the teams on-campus facility. ' ' '
