Day 2FinalsThe grand final of the 2016 Hearthstone World Championships was a European showdown between Artem DrHippi Kravets and Pavel Pavel Beltukov. DrHippi got out to an early 1-0 lead on the back of his Dragon Warrior against the slower CThun Warrior of Pavel. He looked poised to take a 2-0 lead, but a big Flamestrike from Pavel cleared DrHippis board and swung the momentum enough to tie the series at one apiece. Game 3 was a classic Druid vs. Druid showdown, with both players jockeying for position all game long. DrHippi tried to turn the tides with a Yogg-Saron play, but it came up short and Pavel locked up the 2-1 lead.Game 4 was another classic matchup between CThun Warrior from Pavel and the Malygos Druid of DrHippi. In the late-game oriented matchup, the outcome wasnt clear for quite some time. DrHippi once again tried to make a power play with his Yogg-Saron, but it ended up killing itself before doing much damage. Pavel then used his CThun to clean, thus winning the game and the showdown between Old Gods. Not content to go quietly into the night, DrHippi grabbed a win in Game 5 with his Zoo Warlock. He controlled the board all game long and was able to easily defeat the Malygos Rogue from Pavel.With his back still against the wall, DrHippi pulled out his Druid once again to try and top Pavels Rogue. But for the third time this series, DrHippis Druid came up short. Pavel brought out a massive 10/10 Edwin Van Cleef that essentially won him the game and the right to be crowned the 2016 Hearthstone World Champion.SemifinalsCheonsu vs. DrHippiThe second semifinal of the day saw Kim Cheonsu Cheonsu take on Artem DrHippi Kravets for the last spot in the grand finals of the 2016 Hearthstone World Championship. Another series, another 1-1 tie to start things off. While Cheonsu took Game 1 with a big Malygos swing turn, DrHippi put his faith in the Old Gods and took Game 2 with some Yogg-Saron magic. Game 3 was fairly straightforward, with Cheonsu using his Midrange Shaman to defeat DrHippis Tempo Mage.DrHippi bounced back in a big way in the final three games of the series. After a strong win with his Zoo deck against Dragon Warrior in Game 4, DrHippi put his faith in The Firelord, which helped him grab a 3-2 lead. His Ragnaros was an absolute sniper, as it hit on both a 50/50 and 1-in-3 shot to fuel a big comeback. He then closed out the series with a Game 6 that saw DrHippis Tempo Mage prevail against the Dragon Warrior of Cheonsu.Jasonzhou vs. PavelThe first semifinal of the day saw Jason Jasonzhou Zhou take on Pavel Pavel Beltukov for a chance at the grand finals. The first two games were tightly contested, with both players taking a game apiece. Jasonzhou grabbed a Game 1 win with a late-game, top-decked Doomguard for lethal, while Pavel used some early ramp cards to top Jasonzhous Dragon Warrior in Game 2. Pavel took his Tempo Mage into Games 3 and 4, but he posted two very different results. He couldnt overcome Malygos Druid in Game 3, but parlayed an RNG-filled final play with a Firelance Portal to take down Jasonzhous Dragon Warrior to tie the series at 2-2.An early misplay with an unactivated Edwin Van Cleef from Jasonzhou left him at a huge disadvantage in a Game 5 Rogue mirror, essentially gifting Pavel the win. Needing just one more win to claim the series, Pavel used his CThun Warrior to take down Jasonzhou with a big late-game, 14/14 CThun that locked up the game and his spot in the grand finals.Day 1QuarterfinalsHotMEOWTH vs. DrHippiIn the final quarterfinal of the day, America saw its last hope, Edwin HotMEOWTH Cook, take on the European powerhouse, Artem DrHippi Kravetz. When the deck lists were submitted for the tournament, HotMEOWTHs Warrior deck was the biggest story, as it was an extremely unique variation of the once feared Grim Patron deck. As a result, fans were eager to see the deck in action and HotMEOWTH gladly obliged, opting to use the deck throughout the series.That became a major misstep, as DrHippi won the series in convincing fashion, sweeping HotMEOWTHs Warrior deck in four straight games. Ragnaros the Firelord closed out Game 1 for DrHippi, but he had to earn the rest of the wins in very close matchups. A terrific play with the Midrange Shaman during Game 3 was the highlight of the series, as DrHippi managed to weave through constant board clears to find a 21 damage Bloodlust combo for the win.Cydonia vs. CheonsuThe third quarterfinal matchup was a battle between Julien Cydonia Perrault of Canada and Kim Cheonsu Cheonsu, representing the last hope of the Asia-Pacific Region. Game 1 would wind up being the only competitive match, as the two Warrior archetypes -- Cydonias Control vs. Cheonsus Dragon -- came down to the wire. The decks proved evenly matched as it was never clear who would win until the very end. Despite four straight turns within two damage of lethal, Cheonsu could not find the necessary damage, falling to Cydonia in Game 1. That would be Cydonias only win, however, as Cheonsu was able to take command from there. After his Zoo Warlock took out Cydonias Tempo Mage deck in Game 2, Cydonia committed to his Secret Hunter deck, a move that backfired spectacularly as he lost the final three games. Cheonsu will face the winner of the Edwin HotMEOWTH Cook and Artem DrHippi Kravetz matchup in the semifinals tomorrow.Amnesiac vs. PavelThe second quarterfinals series saw William Amnesiac Barton take on Pavel Pavel Beltukov in a battle between North America vs. Europe. Early on, Amnesiac looked poised to take an easy sweep over the European player. He won a hotly contested Game 1 by putting his faith in The Firelord, relying on a ridiculous 33 percent lethal Ragnaros shot to win the first game before easily taking Games 2 and 3. From there, the tides shifted and Pavel made a roaring comeback, completing the reverse sweep on the back of some incredible microplays and game-changing RNG. Every time it looked like Amnesiac had stabilized, Pavel drew into the perfect answer and kept on rolling. With the win, Pavel will now move on to face Jason Jasonzhou Zhou in the semifinals.Jasonzhou vs. HamsterJason Jasonzhou Zhao was able to grab a 4-2 win over Zhuo Hamster Wang during the first quarterfinal matchup of the weekend. The start of the series appeared to be close as each player managed to split the first two games, but Jasonzhou pulled away as the series progressed. Facing a 3-1 lead, Jasonzhous Dragon Warrior wasnt able to claim the series win in Game 5 thanks to a late Ragnaros draw, which allowed Hamster to heal himself out of lethal range, and force a concede. But Jasonzhou was able to bounce back and earn the win thanks to yet another strong Dragon Warrior Play in Game 6.Vapormax Plus Sale .

He is flying around, making plays, hitting people. Its what you need from a safety.Collins is a big reason the Giants (5-3) are off to their best start since 2012, when they were 6-2 at the halfway point. He leads the team in tackles (69), sacks (3) and interceptions (3), the only player in the NFL to lead his team in all three categories this season.No Giant has led the team in both sacks and interceptions in a full season since sacks became an official statistic in 1982. The last NFL player to do it was Pittsburghs Lawrence Timmons in 2012 (3 interceptions, 6 sacks). This season, Yannick Ngakoue leads the Jacksonville Jaguars in both categories (4 sacks, one of three players with one interception).Collins was unaware of the statistics.Im just out there playing ball, doing what is best for the defense, he said Wednesday as the team started preparing for Monday nights game against the Cincinnati Bengals (3-4-1). Im just trying to help in any way possible.Collins has come a long way this season.The Giants moved up in the draft last year to grab him with the first pick of the second round. He became an instant starter on a unit that blew six leads either late in the fourth quarter or in overtime.For a kid who ccame into the NFL with a chip on his shoulder after being passed over in the first round, it was a humbling experience.dddddddddddd So he worked harder in the offseason, and it has paid off.As I kept on working, kept on understanding the defense and working at my craft, I definitely knew I was going to get to this point sooner than later, said Collins, who grew up modeling his game after the late Sean Taylor.Collins cant get enough of football. When he is not lifting, he either is in the film room or studying opposing offenses.On the opening drive against the Eagles, he recognized the route concept on the pass to Nelson Agholor from something the Eagles did the week before. He kept his leverage and intercepted the overthrown pass by Carson Wentz.He remembered to credit end Olivier Vernon for putting pressure on Wentz.It always starts with the D-line, said Collins who had only one interception in his first 22 games. If they get pressure, a push back there, its going to be a tackle for a loss or a play that gives us an interception. When they get going, we all get going.Collins is the first to win defensive player of the week awards in consecutive games since Chicago cornerback Charles Tillman in 2012, and the first safety since Pittsburghs Troy Polamalu in 2010.The New Orleans native is the first Giants defensive player to win two player of the week awards in a season since safety Stevie Brown in 2012. Quarterback Eli Manning won the offensive award twice in 2015.Manning said he saw how talented Collins was last season.The first year you come in, theres a lot going on, Manning said. NFL defense is a lot more complex. Defense is thrown at you. Youre maybe thinking a little bit and you might not make the plays that you normally would make. Now, you see him flying around and totally confident in what hes doing. The results show on game day.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
