After the end of the ESL Cologne 2016 Major, there was a picture floating around social media. It was a gathering of some of the strongest CIS players in a parking lot. The picture sparked the imagination, what were they talking about, was this the start of a potential CIS shuffle? Whatever the case may be, it is fact that Na`Vi had been eliminated by Liquid in the tournament and the star player of that team was one Olesandr “s1mple” Kostyliev. He had put on an incredible performance throughout the event to the point that Na`Vi had no choice but to look at him as a prospect. Soon after Daniil “Zeus” Teslenko was benched and s1mple came onto the roster. The CIS super team was born. It then quickly died. The initial plan was to have this …show more content…
Na`Vi tried bringing a coach on in Andrey “Andi” Prokhorov, but that didn’t work. They were in a slump with nowhere to go. They needed an in-game leader as the seized experiment had failed. They had gone an entire year without another title to their name and the team finally started to break apart. GuardiaN left the team to join FaZe and Na`Vi was left to rebuild the roster, this time with s1mple as the star. The initial rumors had the team try to get Krill “ANGE1” Karasiow and Denis “electronic” Sharipov. ANGE1 had been the in-game leader of HellRaisers and had done an incredible job with the team and was one of the stronger fragging in-game leaders in the world. Electronic had been the best player on Flipsid3 and was the biggest rising talent in the CIS scene. Both deals fell through as the cost was too high, but luckily for Na`Vi, Zeus had a falling out with Gambit over Mykhailo “kane” Blagin. Even though Gambit had won the Major with Zeus, the team still wanted to kick out kane as they didn’t believe in his coaching. For Zeus this was a deal breaker as he and kane were a package. Na`Vi capitalized on this chance and got Zeus to return to the former squad. The return sounded promising. Zeus had proved himself an invaluable leader for Gambit and his return meant seized could go back to his former role where he was one of the best players on the team from the supportive end. In reality, it never worked out that way. Zeus could not configure the new
He can’t let his rage and emotions get the best of him as that can hinder his decisions and have catastrophic effects. As the most powerful god he should set an example to the other gods but just the opposite he is showing them just how weak he is as he can’t even control himself yet alone the other gods and the mortals. Zeus a god that is full of power but constrained to fully take advantage of it as he lets his emotions get the best of him. He acts through impulse and thus sometimes doesn’t take the best decisions the he should
They then hit a flat patch in the middle of the year, only winning a single game from round 8 to 14 – before a strong finish to the season allowed them to build momentum heading into the finals series.
Throughout the world of sports, it is very common for athletes to get injured or bruised up. A lot of the injuries that athletes suffer from often require surgery and intense rehab. Many kids are stuck with paying the medical bill and have no insurance to cover it. The worst part about all of this is that most college coaches end up taking away the player's scholarship because of an injury. The NCAA has its own catastrophic injury insurance, which insures individual athletes up to $20 million. But the majority don’t qualify. This example just shows that most athletes don’t have enough money to get insurance which would help them with their injury. As a result for the players not having insurance, the coaches will end up taking away their scholarship.
It was his home court, and Zeus had never missed a shot, and of course, he made it. They checked the ball and Legend XXVII was playing lockdown defense not letting Zeus go anywhere. Zeus couldn't get passed Legend XXVII but was winning by 4, 9 to 5, because he still couldn’t miss a shot. On the other hand Legend XXVII was not his normal self, he was missing shots left and right. Then the game changed, Zeus missed a shot. After he missed one, Zeus wasn’t going to make another shot, and with Legend XXVII”s defense Zeus couldn’t get a shot other than a long jump shot. Miss after miss, Legend XXVII finally caught up and tied the game with Zeus, 9 to 9. After many back and forth battles, the game was still tied up, 15 to 15. Zeus had never in his life been challenged like this. But it was not over and Zeus was slowly gaining the lead, and his confidence back. It was only 17 to 15, but Legend XXVII felt like he was already defeated.
In the beginning season the players didn't believe have any teamwork or respect for each other. These players know about was themselves not the team
To start the match Zeus, the God of all the Gods, explains to the crowd about the wrestling match. The two competitor were warming up for the most important match of the year. Zeus was also going to be the referee. He started the match and Athanasios did not get off to a good start. The opponent had taken him down. Hydromis, Athanasois’s biggest fan, was very nervous and wanted one of her closest
The first map of contention between the two teams was de_train, Train. Train was a map picked by Na'Vi as it is one of their best performing maps. Duncan "Thorin" Shields, a British Analyst, said "Train is not a good map for EnVyUs... Na'Vi is one of the best teams on this map". During the semi-finals Na'Vi destroyed NIP on this map, making many believe that Na'Vi would be superior on this map. I believed that Na'Vi would be able to take this game off EnVyUs since EnvyUs were really inconsistent on this map, losing many times to teams such as Fnatic, Virtus Pro, TSM just to name a few.
It’s the only time of year when one shot can make or break a team’s season. It’s the only time of year when athletes can be magnified into stars or heros. Millions of eyes witness every heart-breaking upset and every game-saving buzzer beater. It’s March and it’s madness. The National College Athletics Association (NCAA) makes "$6 billion annually and $1 billion just off of the men’s basketball tournament” (USNEWS). In 2013, the Louisville Cardinals faced the Duke Blue Devils in the Mid-West Regional Championship. Louisville, the tournament’s one seed, looked to be moving on to the final four when a freak accident slowed everything. Late in the game, sophomore Kevin Ware of the Cardinals leaped to contest a 3 point shot. While everyone in
Zeus allows for this in order to appease Hades, assumedly because Hades is confined to the Underworld. This does demonstrate a peacemaker aspect of Zeus’s character, specifically a peacemaker among the gods. The second detail from this myth that further supports this characteristic of Zeus is his actions after Persephone has been captured. Zeus ignores Persephone’s cries for help as Hades is taking her to the Underworld (Morford, 2013, p. 340). Ignoring her cries reinforces this peacemaker idea because he does not act against Hades or take back his previous approval, despite the audible cries from his daughter.
Zeus soon after thought Kratos would plan to over throw him, Zeus went to Kratos finding him fighting colossus Zeus threw the blade of Olympus to Kratos to help him slay the giant. After defeating the colossus it fell over on top of Kratos leaving him temporarily defenseless Zeus told Kratos to pledge his allegiance or die; Kratos refused Zeus offer. Zeus blind with rage plunged the sword of Olympus into kratos’s stomach sending him to the world of the dead. On his way down he encountered the titan Gaia. Who gave him the power to escape the underworld if he needed, for the exchange of her
In the beginning, Zeus could hunt one of the other gods, but the truth was all the other gods were terrified of Zeus. He has a terrible temper, but only moreover, when someone lied to him.Zeus was frightened of his wife Hera. Zeus could mimic people's voices to sound like anyone's.Zeus could mimic people's voices to sound

You need a full team to make a real evaluation and two is not enough to find the issue. The JV was more motivated when they rowed as a team unlike the varsity members. Coach P. needed to understand that a mediocre team that works well together can over power a selfish group of individuals. It’s hard for me to read this without constantly blaming the coach for the varsity team real issues. No great team will blame each other point the blame on other members. Coach P. varsity team had no real connection other than being great rowers will alone. You can't force things to work when everyone is looking out for themselves and not the team. I applaud Coach P. effort of trying to figure out why the JV team was better as a whole. Moving the players around from both teams wasn't a good idea but it was a good experiment. It wasn't about which JV guy had potential to move up to varsity, it was more of which varsity member is causing the issues. Even when Coach P. switched players around to varsity, he still did not conduct that winning and dominate team that he would have hoped for. The JV players were more open and willing to be coached without blaming one another. The JV players wanted no part of the
Speaking with Zap 2 It, the 15-time World Champion explained the reasons behind his shocking decision.
Zeus is the God of the sky and thunder. He plays important role in the Iliad as he is the God that many mortals pray to and rely on for help. Even other Gods look up to him and ask him for favors. In the Iliad Zeus along with other Gods are overlooking the Trojan war and using his God like powers to sway the results. Though others look up to him he feels an obligation to please others which causes him to influence the Trojan war on both sides. I chose this character because of how he appeases to mortals and Gods, though he makes promises to help the other side he stays loyal to the Trojans, and mortals and Gods pray to and look up to him.
