Its the first day of the worlds largest fighting game tournament, the Evolution Championship Series, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Nearly 15,000 competitors have gathered to compete in nine different fighting games, with over 2,300 of them competing in Super Smash Bros. Melee.In a sea full of people, there stands a man with a Pikachu hat and an Arizona flag on his back. Jeffrey Axe Williamson is a legend, someone whos been on top of the Super Smash Bros. scene since his first national, Genesis, in 2009. With Pikachu by his side, Axe cemented himself as the ninth best Smash player in the world last year, according to Super Smash Bros. content and analysis site Melee It On Mes SSBM Rank.At Evo 2016, he looks to win it all, something thats never too far out of his reach. Hes been close before, taking fourth at Genesis 3 and fifth at Community Effort Orlando 2016, and he believes that Evo will be his time to shine, albeit not on Fox.I think [I have a shot to win this tournament.] Ive already beaten most of [the gods] a couple of times in the past, and a couple this year and I feel like its really doable, Axe tells ESPN.com. I just have to be super on point and I cant be stopped. I know that for sure. Even losers bracket Mango or beast mode Armada, I feel like I can take them to be honest. It takes a lot of preparation and mental power and just feeling well. Theres a lot of little factors I need to be on top of to perform my best.Fifth at CEO is a good indication that Axe can perform as expected, but at Evo, there are nearly 1,800 more players in attendance, in comparison to CEOs 683. Axe says that makes this event infinitely more difficult, and that to win it all, you have to play your best.This tournament has way more players [than CEO], so its going to be a lot harder because all of the top players are here minus Leffen and PPMD, he says. Its going to be very difficult still, but technically its kind of the same top players. More of the top 100 players are here than they were at CEO. A lot of the top 100 players still give me problems, so its going to be a lot more difficult overall, but I feel more ready than I did for CEO.At CEO, he fell to Justin Plup McGrath, another player within the Top 10, who like Axe, is considered a demigod. In Melee, there are five gods: Adam Armada Lindgren, Juan Hungrybox Debiedma, Kevin PPMD Nanney, Jason Mew2King Zimmerman, and Joseph Mango Marquez. Demigods are players within the top echelon who continuously challenge and at times beat the gods, or their counterpart William Leffen Hjelte.For the past few years, Axe, alongside names like Plup and Weston Westballz Dennis, have become demigods. But none have been able to take it all the way and win super majors, such as Evo, CEO, or Genesis. I ask Axe who is the next player to join the demigods.Normally, its a player thats not currently a top 100, he says. Its usually not a player whos at the top. Im looking at the players who are on the come up. Pretty much the players that come out of nowhere. Its those kind of players who surpass people and enter the top six.So if a new face breaks through, theyll need to beat the Top 10, which is currently not solidified in 2016. Axe, who was among the final list last year, thinks that a new player, Zac SFAT Cordoni, has entered the list, while the remainder of the list, besides DaJuan Shroomed McDaniel, stays the same.The top order is so confusing to order, but based off how good I think players are, I think Armada is the best. Hes number one. He just has the most skill, the most consistency, he explains. Hes crazy, hes a beast. Hungrybox has to be second at this point. Armada, Hungrybox, Mango, Leffen, Mew2King, PPMD, Plup, Axe, SFAT, and Westballz. Wes hasnt been doing so hot lately, but I know he has the skill. Hes hella good.Only one will be crowned the champion of Evo. That opens the field significantly for new people to break through, and Axe thinks as long as he beats Hungrybox and his consistent Jigglypuff, hell have his best shot. Its terrible [to play against Jigglypuff], Axe says. I hate it. I do want to beat Hungrybox really bad. Ive been watching our sets and its doable, so I have a few tricks up my sleeve for that.But above all, he believes that Mango will take the tournament, if he doesnt himself. A previous champion of Evo 2013 and 2014, Mango is favored to repeat and win Evo once again. Hes been outspoken about wanting it all, and practicing a ton to get there. Americas hometown hero has the best shot hes had in quite sometime.Id say Mango has a great shot at first. Mango wants it very badly, and I think that the only way for Mango to win is only if he goes absolute beast mode, Axe explains. The one trait Mango has that all of the other top players dont have, of the Top 6, is the ability to go in the zone, where he has absolute focus and everything is 100 percent different. I think hes going to take the tournament. Authentic Custom Jerseys . Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead.

Custom Jerseys Nike .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox will look to stay hot in their final game before the All-Star break on Sunday against the Atlanta Braves.After Saturdays 5-4 win against the Braves, the White Sox (45-42) have won five of their last seven games and eight of their last 12. They are 9-5 in their last 14 contests at U.S. Cellular Field.Atlanta (30-58) will try to salvage the series after an 11-8 win over the White Sox in Fridays opener. The Braves are 2-4 on their trip and 17-24 away from home this season.Third baseman Todd Frazier has been a big reason for Chicagos recent success. Frazier has homered in back-to-back games and leads the team with 25 home runs before the break.The last two White Sox players with 25 home runs before the All-Star Game were Adam Dunn in 2012 and Jermaine Dye in 2006.I feel stronger, I feel more relaxed, a little quicker swing, Frazier said. For me, its hitting good pitches. I say this all the time, if Im swinging outside the zone, Im going to have some trouble. I feel really good at the plate right now.Right-hander James Shields (4-9, 5.67 ERA) will make his 18th start of the season and his seventh start with the White Sox. The 34-year-old is 2-0 with a 3.06 ERA in his last three starts after a miserable stint in which he went 0-3 with a 24.62 ERA in his previous four outings.Shields has not faced Atlanta this season. In his career against the Braves, he is 1-2 with a 4.24 ERA in four starts. He has allowed 24 hits, issued seven walkss and struck out 24 batters in 23 1/3 innings.ddddddddddddFor the Braves, right-hander Mike Foltynewicz (2-3, 4.29 ERA) will make his ninth and final start before the All-Star break. The 24-year-old Foltynewicz never has faced the White Sox.Foltynewicz has been susceptible to the long ball. He allowed four home runs in five innings in his most recent start July 5 against Philadelphia, and he has given up 11 home runs in 42 innings this season.Braves catcher Tyler Flowers said Foltynewicz possessed terrific natural ability.Crazy arm, God given arm, said Flowers, who strained his left hand Saturday and is unlikely to play in the series finale. Hes got some of the best stuff Ive ever seen.Hes a guy where its a work in progress, working with his mentality, trying to get him to grow in that area to allow his talent to come out and work for him. The only time he gets in trouble is when he gets frustrated, he starts over throwing and gets flat in spots or falling behind guys.White Sox closer David Robertson probably will not be available for Sundays game because of a strained muscle in his upper left leg. Robertson sat out Saturday as fellow reliever Nate Jones recorded four outs to pick up his third save of the season.Doctors are saying a couple of days, so Im thinking right after the All-Star break, Ill be ready to roll, Robertson said.
