After two days of upsets and runbacks, the bracket has been set for the main stage of the Dota 2 Boston Major at the Wang Theatre. Starting Wednesday, each team will have one life to live in the first major of the 2017 season, and with $3 million in prize earnings on the line, tensions will run high every match. Which team will emerge victorious, and which team will have a long road ahead to the Eaglesong trophy?Virtus.pro vs. Invictus Gaming VitalityVirtus.Pro came into the major with incredible momentum, hot off a win at The Summit 6, and a 2-0 result in group A gave the Russian squad a strong start in Boston. Invictus Gaming Vitality will be the bottom seed to face VP, a Chinese sister-squad that failed to close out sets against OG and EHOME. Though a 1-2 loss might hint at some potential, against VP, its difficult to see IGV rallying against one of the strongest lineups in Massachusetts.Evil Geniuses vs. Wings GamingThis is the match we expected to see in the grand finals. Evil Geniuses, after losing the group C tiebreaker to Complexity, has been matched against Wings Gaming. The victors of The International 6, Wings sent EG to the lower bracket 2-0; since then though, Wings has faltered, even being eliminated from The Summit 6 by EG. Multiple factors will determine who moves on, from consistency and drafting to general mindset. This matchup of two titans of Dota, with both fighting to stay in the running for the title, will no doubt be a highlight of the first round of the major.Complexity vs. Warriors Gaming UnityComplexity, a team that surprised many with a double-upset against Evil Geniuses, will face a similar upset-maker from group A, Warriors Gaming Unity. WGU ended up third seed, but in the first series of the group, beat Wings Gaming 2-1. The carries will likely be deciding factors as they were essential in their teams respective upsets: David Moo Hull of Complexity and Lai Ahjit Jay Son of WGU both had stellar performances in groups, and the two will now have to face off to see who can put their team over the edge to keep the run alive. Complexity looks stronger, having taken both series against EG whereas WGU fell to Wings the second time around, but Unity has been underestimated before, and could come in for another upset before the Boston Major concludes.OG vs. MVP PhoenixThe 4-2 winner of group D, OG received MVP Phoenix as its first opponent in the main event. OG took its group against strong contenders from Ad Finem, but did give up two losses in the process, and could be vulnerable. MVP Phoenix might not be the team to capitalize though, as the SEA roster struggled in group B. MVPs group was more difficult to succeed in than OGs, but quality losses do not make a compelling case, especially with only one series taken to game three. Unless the MVP Phoenix LAN X factor kicks in, OG looks set to move on from this matchup.Digital Chaos vs. Team FacelessDigital Chaos, after taking group A in four games, drew Team Faceless as its opponent. The SEA team failed to take matches against LGD Gaming and Evil Geniuses, falling 0-2 to both. Each team is an admittedly tough opponent, but the matches were often not close, exceeding a full 5 percent net worth disadvantage in every game. Digital Chaos, meanwhile, received a spot of luck when Wings Gaming fell to WGU, as DC has consistently struggled against the team it once faced in the TI6 grand finals. This match is deceivingly close, and could see a potential upset against a top seed in the first round of the major.EHOME vs. Team NPEHOME took second seed in group D after getting the runback against Ad Finem, and will face off against Team NP. Though the North American crowd favorites lost the tiebreaker in group B to Newbee, NP eliminated EHOME from The Summit 6 not too long ago. EHOME also had to fight hard for its spot in group D, going to game 3 in every series it played. Team NP may be the lower seed, but looks like a strong favorite headed into the matchup.Newbee vs. Ad FinemNewbees second seed berth from group B will pit the team against Ad Finem, the five-man squad from Greece competing in its first major. The lineup of Newbee looks strong as ever, with mid laner Song Sccc Chun looking advantageous in several matchups in the group stage. Ad Finem has its own power-mid in Dimitris ThuG Plivouris, and the contest between the two mids will be something to watch. Newbee comes in a favorite, having more experience against tough squads, but the Greek Dota squad took some impressive wins in group D as well. Dont count Ad Finem out just yet.LGD Gaming vs. LGD Forever YoungThe final first-round bracket matchup will see a team-kill, something that doesnt happen too often in Dota 2. LGD Gaming will play sister-squad LGD Forever Young, and only one will be able to advance in the tournament. Mirrored results between these two are telling; while LGD proper took group C 4-0, with wins against Team Faceless and Complexity, LGD FY failed to win a single game in group A. Momentum and results indicate LGD Gaming taking this series, but internal organization matchups are tricky. These two teams have experience playing each other, know their ins and outs better than other teams would and have better insight in their draft and playstyle. LGD looks favored, but this is a conceptually fascinating match, and one ripe for an upset. Robert Foster Jersey . Uniteds eighth defeat of a wretched campaign means Liverpool, which currently occupies the fourth and final Champions League place, could go nine points clear of its fierce rival by beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday. Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that forced them off. Lee Smith Jersey .ca! Kerry, Two nights after the Scott-Eriksson incident in Buffalo, the Bruins returned home to play San Jose. In that game, Zdeno Chara put a check on Tommy Wingels that clearly targeted his head. http://www.wholesalebillsjerseys.com/?tag=youth-reid-ferguson-jersey . -- Teemu Selanne scored the first goal of his 22nd NHL season, and the Anaheim Ducks extended the best start in franchise history with their fifth straight victory, 3-2 over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. Juwan Foggie Jersey . Ancelotti says Ronaldo has recovered from a hamstring injury but "but he doesnt feel comfortable yet so we wont risk him." Madrid is third in the Spanish league, six points behind leader Barcelona, going into Saturdays game against Valladolid. TreDavious White Jersey . Sgt. Eric ONeal says most of the arrests at Monday nights game were for public drunkenness, though one person was taken into custody on suspicion of trying to steal a seat from the stadium. (STATS) -- If the FCS playoff field was announced a week earlier than next Sunday, the conference that might feel the best about itself is the Southern Conference, where champion The Citadel, Chattanooga, Samford and Wofford appear ready to go into the field.The last time the SoCon had four qualifiers for the playoffs is … well, never.Four would be one more than the SoCon had over the last two playoffs combined (two automatic qualifiers and one at-large bid).But Woffords road win over Chattanooga on Saturday was the result the SoCon needed to have the chance for its best playoff haul.The attrition of conference play tends to overdue itself, leaving black and blue records, and the three conferences that had the most playoff bids last season -- the Missouri Valley, CAA Football and Big Sky -- didnt necessarily get the results to fall the right way this weekend to solidify their candidate pool.Missouri Valley: North Dakota State is solidified and South Dakota State should be in the field as well. Youngstown State would make it simple with a win at Missouri State (but nothings been simple during the Penguins 10-year playoff drought) and Western Illinois hopes to nail down a bid with a road win at Southern Illinois. If both of those scenarios happen, it wont be good for Illinois States 6-5 record or Northern Iowas potential 6-5 record (with a win over SDSU).CAA: Champion James Richmond and Richmond are safe. The playoff selection committee probably wants to put Villanova into the field considering coach Andy Talley is retiring after 32 seasons, but the Wildcats should avoid losing to rival Delaware. The New Hampshire-Maine rivalry game is a playoff eliminator, but does it guarantee an at-large bid to the winner? Probably, because the winner will be 6-2 in the tough CAA, but neither boasts big-time wins heading into their matchup. Albany also can get to 7-4 with a win over Stony Brook.Big Sky: Heres the trickiest of the three conference. North Dakota and Eastern Washington are in the field. Then there are four teams hoping to get to 7-4: Cal Poly and Northern Colorado, who play each other, as well as Montana and Weber State. The one in the best shape with a win next weekend would be Cal Poly. The one with all the playoff history -- Montana -- might be on the outside looking in.A team that finishes the regular season with a 7-4 record (especially one whose resume includes a sub-Division I win) usually goes into the same basket with so many at-large hopefuls. Its a precarious spot leading into Selection Sunday when there are only so many at-large bids to go around.---=SECOND AND 10=Ten more observations from the FCS weekend:1.) The team of the week is Wofford after it went to Chattanooga and beat the seventh-ranked Mocs 36-28 for the first time since 2011. Coach Mike Ayers 7-3 squad should find itself in the Top 25 on Monday and is an expected win over VMI away of returning to the playoffs after a three-year absence.2.) While eight teams in the FCS Top 25 lost games this weekend, the top six continued to roll along, each winning by double digits. Sam Houston State, Jacksonville State, Eastern Washington, North Dakota State, The Citadel and James Madison -- ranked in that order -- are a combined 56-4.3.) Half of the 10 automatic qualifiers are set: James Madison (CAA Football), Lehigh (Patriot League), San Diego (Pioneer Football League), Saint Francis (Northeast Conference) and The Citadel (Southern Conference). Saint Francis topped Central Connecticut State 31-21 behind Zack Drayers three touchdown passes to clinch its first playoff appearance.4.) In the Big South, the Kennesaw State-Charleston Southern winner next Saturday will earn a share of the title with Liberty, but then it gets really intriguing. Charleston Southern (6-3, 3-1) cant qualify for the playoffs unless it wins the game and claims the automatic bid, which would come from owning the tiebreaker over Liberty (6-4, 4-1). The Bucs dont have the necessary six Division I wins for an at-large bid. Kennesaw State (8-2, 3-1) may not make the field even with a win over CSU because Liberty owns the head-to-head tiebreaker over KSU. The Owls have the best overall record among the three, but their resume includes three wins below the D-I level and a loss to East Tennessee State. If Charleston Southern earns the auto bid, then Liberty likely needs to win at old rival Coastal Carolina Thursday night to be an at-large factor.5.) The three conferrences that dont send their champions to the playoffs are headed to great finishes.dddddddddddd Harvard, Penn and Princeton are tied for first place in the Ivy League just one year after it had its first three-way share of the title since 1982. North Carolina A&T and North Carolina Central are both 7-0 in the MEAC and end the regular season against each other next Saturday at N.C. Central. Grambling State and Southern will meet in two for the West Division title on Nov. 26 and a spot in the SWAC Championship Game against East Division champ Alcorn State, also the two-time defending conference champ.6.) It was a special Saturday for special teams players, as the season highs for punt and kickoff return yards came from a pair of senior cornerbacks, while the longest field goal of the season was matched. Lamars Brendan Langley (six interceptions, six pass breakups) will get a look in an NFL training camp next summer, and his ability to return punts will boost his stock. He scored on punt returns of 90 and 75 yards against Incarnate Word while totaling 206 yards on six returns. Daytons Cameron Stubbs needed only four kickoff returns to total 234 yards against Marist. Included were returns of 94 yards (not a touchdown) and 90 yards (a touchdown). Tennessee Tech sophomore Nick Madonia kicked a 57-yard field goal against Tennessee State to match the best that Tennessee States Lane Clark and Woffords David Marvin (twice) had earlier this season.7.) Ironically, Eastern Washington wide receiver Cooper Kupp scored on a rush and a punt return against Idaho State, but not a reception while he completed a Division I triple, adding the career receptions record (396) to his marks for receiving yards (5,994) and touchdown receptions (68). He has caught a pass in 48 straight games, an FCS record he shares with Jacksonville States Josh Barge.8.) With Austin Peay on a 26-game losing streak that is the longest in the FCS, there are not a lot of positives coming from the Ohio Valley Conference program. But freshman Kentel Williams totaled a school record and FCS season high with 399 all-purpose yards against Eastern Kentucky, including a 97-yard kickoff return and 7-yard run for touchdowns. His yardage represented the 20th-highest single-game total in FCS history and consisted of 176 rushing yards, 42 receiving yards and 181 kick return yards.9.) It took until top-ranked Sam Houston States 10th game, but the Bearkats finally trailed against an opponent. Northwestern State went ahead 13-7 midway through the first quarter, but the Bears Alfonzo McMillian blocked the extra point and the Bearkats went back ahead shortly after and went on to score the final 34 points of the first half for a 41-13 lead.10.) The carousel known as conference realignment could be spinning again. Campbell has a major football announcement scheduled for Monday, and its easy to believe the Fighting Camels, members of the non-scholarship Pioneer Football League, will add scholarships and begin a move toward the Big South Conference, where they play in other sports. Also, the Grand Forks Herald reports freshly minted Big Sky champ North Dakota is negotiating a potential move from the largest FCS conference to the Missouri Valley Football Conference and its sister Summit League for other sports.---=A LOOK AHEAD=All hail the conference schedule-makers, because next Saturdays schedule will match the top two teams in three conference races: MEAC, North Carolina A&T at North Carolina Central; Ohio Valley, UT Martin at Jacksonville State; and Southland, Central Arkansas at top-ranked Sam Houston State.Other notable matchups (Saturday unless marked): Big Sky, Eastern Washington at Portland State (Friday night), Northern Colorado at Cal Poly and Montana State at Montana; Big South, Liberty at Coastal Carolina (Thursday night) and Kennesaw State at Charleston Southern; CAA, Richmond at William & Mary, New Hampshire at Maine and Villanova at Delaware; Ivy, Yale at Harvard; Missouri Valley, North Dakota State at South Dakota and South Dakota State at Northern Iowa; Patriot, Lehigh at Lafayette; and Pioneer, San Diego at Campbell.There are seven FCS-vs.-FBS m
