After a fierce victory over Joseph Mango Marquez, Justin Plup McGrath went into the Top 8 on the winners side of Evolution 2015. Everything seemed to go well for Plup: his tech-chasing and platform movement were on point, even in a high pressure environment. After day two ended, he needed to perform at the same level on day three.An unfortunate series of events led to Plups controller breaking and he went on the Top 8 stage with a back-up controller, in a less-than-ideal situation. The results showed, as the crispy platform shield drops and pivots were no longer coming out on command. Instead, his character rolled randomly and was frequently stuck in shield on a platform as he botched inputs on his backup controller. His opponent, Kevin PPMD Nanney capitalized on Plups missed inputs, and won in a quick two games.Disappointed after the first set, he decided to have fun by playing his former main, Samus, against William Leffen Hjelte in what ended up being one of the most exciting matches of the entire tournament. In a close three game set, Plups Samus came through in a pinch, despite the lack of regular practice. Shortly after, Plup lost to long time teammate Juan Hungrybox Debiedma to finish in fourth place, outplacing two of the Big 6.Its been a year since Evo 2015 and Plup now spends most of his time focusing on his Sheik and Fox, not his Samus.Ive played with Samus for such a long time that I dont really need to practice with her, Plup says. Im never rusty with Samus.In preparation for Evo 2016, he meticulously grinds out both tech skill and regular practice against top players in the central Florida region. Out of most of the top players, Plup has the cleanest tech skill with the best shield drops out of any player and good platform movement.Plup explains, I play as much as I can and grind out what I need to practice. For tougher techniques, such as invincible ledge-dashing, pivots, and intricate movements into up-tilts, I practice until I can get it done consistently.The practice certainly shows in events where commentators regularly praise him as one of the few Sheiks that heavily invests in movement and tech skill. Along with the tech skill grind, he regularly practices with Justin Wizzrobe Hallett, the best Captain Falcon player in the world. He also attends tournaments and competes against opponents such as Colin Colbol Green, Dustin Gravy White, and Jason Gahtzu Diehl.While he regularly practices for extended hours, Plup usually decides to take it easy for the last few days prior to an event so that he doesnt burn out. The grinds can be brutal for top players if they overexert themselves. Along with lowering the intensity in gameplay, he routinely works out and eats a healthy diet to keep him in good shape for the grueling hours that a tournament requires.Plup comes into the tournament very confident and believes that he can finish in the Top 5 again. To date, he has defeated all of the Big 6 in a tournament set, except for Adam Armada Lindgren. The last time they played was at Battle of the Five Gods, where Armada won 3-1. Out of all the competitors, Plup wants a rematch with Armada at Evo 2016, where he could potentially be the first player ever to take a set off of all members of the Big 6.Cameron Borthwick-Jackson Jersey .

Antonio Valencia Jersey .H. -- Matt Kenseth made it 2 for 2 in the Chase, holding off teammate Kyle Busch to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.Northamptonshire could be facing a raid on their best players as rival clubs look to exploit their troubled financial situation.ESPNcricinfo understands that Olly Stone, Ben Duckett and Josh Cobb have all been targeted by other clubs who hope to sign them ahead of the 2017 season.While Stone is currently sidelined with an injury to his anterior cruciate ligament - a freak injury he sustained celebrating a wicket - the 22-year-old is seen as one of the most exciting young pace bowlers in England. ESPNcricinfo understands that Hampshire lead the race to secure his signature.Duckett, the third highest run-scorer in Division Two of the County Championship so far this season, is contracted at Northants until the end of 2017 but, as was the case with David Willey last year, the club could agree to release him should they agree a transfer fee with another club and Duckett decides he is prepared to leave.Ass a young player at one of the smaller clubs, though, he offers outstanding value to a rival club.dddddddddddd Precedent suggests any transfer fee is likely to be around 50 percent of his salary.Cobb, meanwhile, has the option of another year at the club but is waiting until later in the season before he decides what to do. It is understood he is of interest to several other clubs with a view to white ball cricket, in particular.Despite their well-chronicled off-field difficulties, Northants currently sit at the top of the North Division of the NatWest Blast table and can count both Duckett and Stone as home-grown players. Should the pair go on to represent England - and it is far from impossible - the club would continue to benefit from performance-related fee payments. ' ' '
