runs as Badree had Christopher Barnwell l

Riot Games reputation took a hit Monday when company founder and CEO Marc Tryndamere Merrill responded to a video post on Reddit that featured Team SoloMid owner Andy Dinh criticizing several of the companys decisions on the game and its esports program.Hopped into a thread re: Esports comp & patch timing: https://t.co/A3nN5SzKfI- Marc Merrill (@MarcMerrill) August 22, 2016In the past, Riot Games communication and open dialogue via its public relations department were reasons for its good standing with the community. This, however, was a miss.Dinh, arguably the team owner most credited for spearheading the competitive scene, was notably upset in the video when asked about the timings of patches and the overall makeup of the Riots esports program. But Merrills response was less focused on the timing concerns and more pointed toward teams investments and priorities.Just in case someone didnt read Tryndameres original comment, here you have both side by side. pic.twitter.com/hywCFhy5K5- Rulo Mercury (@RuloMercury) August 22, 2016Even with the edited version, Merrills words remained sharp. More concerning was the apparent disconnect in Merrills understanding that organizations with top LCS teams benefit more with investments that stem away from League of Legends. As evident to other team owners, like Mike Rufail of Team EnVyUs, the idea of branching out is a popular one:I think it should be noted that not all organizations in LCS benefit mostly from their LCS teams. A few native orgs seem to, however.- Mike Rufail (@hastr0) August 22, 2016Several key players and prominent personalities in the esports industry spoke up and provided their thoughts on the issue. The main critics pointed out that this was a public relations disaster, but that this subject has been brewing between Riot Games and team owners for quite some time. As for the defendants, its a wait-and-see approach; dont criticize everything when it comes out.Some responses were notably pointed.Lets be clear: LoL doesnt make teams money in the post-VC world. Merrill is vomiting a line told to him by the Riot eSports department.- MonteCristo (@MonteCristo) August 23, 2016RIOT is the one company that always had the vision to make it a spectator sport that will last decades. Not so sure about that one anymore.- Marcel Feldkamp (@MarcelFeldkamp) August 22, 2016Riot now has an opinion on where you spend the money you make from LoL. Imagine letting someone talk to you like that.- Thorin (@Thooorin) August 22, 2016Others were more tempered.Its going to be interesting to see what comes our of the current discussion between Riot and some team owners. A lot to learn.- Carlos - ocelote (@CarlosR) August 23, 2016We complain when executives dont tell us what they think, and then we complain when they tell us what they think and we disagree ;[- Kwanghee Woo (@SaintSnorlax) August 22, 2016Really sad the way Merrill framed Regi in his comment. Youre talking about someone who helped build your game into a popular esport.- Empyre (@NaserAlNaqi) August 22, 2016And some offered solutions or alternative takes and responses.If Riot wants teams to invest in LoL alone, they need to open more revenue streams. Teams arent making millions on LoL. They could though.- Bryce Blum (@esportslaw) August 22, 2016Also, this whole thing is a case study in why Riot has only ever gotten more careful about what they say and how and when they say it.- Skyen (@TBSkyen) August 22, 2016Riot has a history of locking those involved in LoL esports into a closed ecosystem to keep them reliant and unaware of their real value.- CLG Lazarus (@RisenLazarus) August 23, 2016Of course, everyone is waiting on Reginalds take on everything.Thought about the situation. I have a lot to say..... I will be sharing my thoughts at 10am PST.- Andy Dinh (@TSMReginald) August 23, 2016Response to MarcRead: https://t.co/RLMbdRfc0Z— Andy Dinh (@TSMReginald) August 23, 2016 Cheap Nike Shoes For Sale .

Guyana Amazon Warriors 109 for 6 (Guptill 43, Lynn 34, Badree 2-18) beat St Kitts & Nevis Patriots 108 for 8 (Simmons 50, Zampa 3-18) by four wicketsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsGuyana Amazon Warriors seized home advantage with a packed spin bowling line-up to restrict St Kitts & Nevis Patriots to 108 for 8, before chasing it down comfortably for a four-wicket win. Patriots had trouble coping with the turn on a slow pitch and made the chase look more difficult with a late flurry of wickets, but Amazon Warriors cruised home with 22 balls to spare. The pitch came under heavy criticism from the television broadcast commentators at the Providence Stadium, with a low and slow track producing likewise action from the Patriots line-up. The visitors opted to bat but three specialist spinners in the Amazon Warriors attack - Steven Jacobs, Adam Zampa and Veerasammy Permaul - exploited the favorable conditions superbly, none more so than offspinner Jacobs, who took the new ball and finished with 1 for 7 in four overs.Arriving in Guyana after a pair of blistering half-centuries in far friendlier batting conditions at Warner Park in St Kitts, Evin Lewis laboured through an 18-ball innings before a desperate shuffle across his stumps to flick Jacobs resulted in Lewis being trapped in front for 4 in the fourth over.Lewis opening partner Lendl Simmons exemplified the Patriots overall struggle with the conditions, lasting until the final over to score 50 off 60 balls before he was run-out by Martin Guptill. In between, Zampa wiped out the middle order, including the key scalp of captain Faf du Plessis for just 1.Guptill was the only batsman to look unencumbered by the nature of the track, scoring at nearly two runs a ball as he struck three fours and foour sixes on his way to 43 off 22 balls and the Man-of-the-Match honours.dddddddddddd Following the second-over departure of Dwayne Smith, Guptill and Chris Lynn produced a 60-run second-wicket stand across six overs before Guptill perished to left-arm wristspinner Tabraiz Shamsi after an attempted drive went awry.Amazon Warriors reached the halfway stage needing just 24 runs to win with eight wickets in hand before a brief stumble was sparked by a leg-side stumping to remove Jason Mohammed off the bowling of Samuel Badree. It was the first of three wickets in the space of nine deliveries for just three runs as Badree had Christopher Barnwell lbw for a second-ball duck before Shamsi struck again to claim Anthony Bramble for 1.Lynn held firm though and remained until Amazon Warriors were within one shot of clinching the match when he was bowled for 34 by JJ Smuts, before Jacobs and Sohail Tanvir calmly knocked off the final six runs. While Amazon Warriors cemented their hold on top of the table, Patriots woeful start continued, having now lost four of their first five games.Patriots left-arm seamer Krishmar Santokie was fined 75% of his match fees after the game for breaching Level 2 of the CPL Code of Conduct. At the end of the 16th over, he threw a ball back at batsman Steven Jacobs, thereby in violation of Article 2.2.7 which relates to Throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment such as a water bottle) at or near a player, player support personnel, umpire, match referee or any other third person in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during a CPL Match.
