Jens Snute Aasgaard took down Tobias Showtime Sieber 4-2 to take the StarCraft II World Championship Series (WCS) Copa Intercontinental title this weekend. The field was stacked with championship hopefuls, with four players among the top-8 in the StarCraft II World Championship Series Circuit (WCS) standings.The favorite coming into the match was Milleniums Showtime (second in the WCS standings), a veteran German Protoss player. Other familiar contenders included Alex Neeb Sunderhaft (third in the WCS standings), Snute (fifth in WCS standings), Shin Hydra Dong (sixth in WCS standings), and Marc uThermal Schlappi (11th in WCS standings). The bracket results were deceptively one-sided on the surface because of the blowouts in the quarterfinals. Each player advanced with a 3-0 score despite the thin margin between each victory; only four series went beyond the minimum amount of games, including the grand finals.The grand finals between Snute and Showtime was not lacking in star power, with Snute a consistent top player with three grand finals appearances this year. Showtime, however, was the favorite player to take it all. And while these players were also considered the best in Europe, the grand finals was a battle of adaptations. Showtime countered Snutes slower pace with greedier compositions and late-game technology. Snute shored up his bases and defenses to out-micro Showtimes ability to quickly change army types.There were plenty of player-specific strategies from both players. Showtime showcased an immortal all-in to counter Snutes nonexistent pressure game, adept pushes, aggression and even a carrier armada to control the skies. Snute countered with his unique base configurations and queen positionings to prevent Showtimes aggression, roach counter plays and surprise mutalisk rush. In the end, it was Snutes complete play that allowed him to dominate the competition and continue a magical year.The third place match was the Neeb show. Despite uThermals best efforts to come back and bridge the gap between the early game, it was too large a mountain to climb. Neeb wasnt necessarily the better mechanical player, but his macro in the early game provided enough of a cushion to overlook the stalemate in microplay. Because uThermals playstyle was mostly on the defensive side, the ending of every game was up to Neebs execution and ability to close out. What was a strong matchup on paper ended in a fizzle for the third place standing. Mark Bavaro Jersey . LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end.

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- A year ago, Alabama State beat Virginia Tech in the season opener and maybe cost the Hokies an NCAA Tournament bid.But Virginia Tech took care of business this time.Zach LeDay scored 20 points off the bench to lead the Hokies to an 80-67 win over Maine on Friday.LeDay led a balanced attack for the Hokies (1-0), who had four players in double figures. He hit 8 of 13 from the floor and grabbed 12 rebounds for his 13th career double-double.Ahmed Hill, who missed last season with a knee injury, scored 14 points in his return, while Justin Robinson had 13 and Chris Clarke finished with 12.I think, like any other coach would say after game 1, we did good things, and I think there are distinct ways we can improve, Virginia Tech coach Buzz Williams said. Theres a lot of room for growth, for sure.Wes Myers led Maine (0-1) with 18 points.Despite size and experience advantages, Virginia Tech didnt put away the Black Bears until midway through the second half. The Hokies led by eight with around 17 minutes remaining before going on a 15-2 run that was powered by LeDays six points. Maine got no closer than the final margin.It was a good effort, but we just couldnt sustain it for the full 40 minutes, Maine coach Bob Walsh said. To stand up against them the way we did, I think we can take some good things out of that.The Hokies, taller and stronger at virtually every position, finished with a 44-36 rebounding advantage.BIG PICTUREMainee: The Black Bears, picked to finish last in the America East, could be in for a long season after losing seven players off last seasons team -- five with eligibility remaining.dddddddddddd Seven newcomers joined the program for this season.Virginia Tech: The Hokies expect to be a deeper team with 85 percent of their scoring and rebounding returning. Their depth showed, as head coach Buzz Williams played 10 players -- and eight of them scored.RETURN TO ACTIONHill wasnt the only Hokie to miss last season. Ty Outlaw sat out the entire year with hypertensive cardiomyopathy, or a thickening of the heart muscle that makes it harder to pump blood. Cleared in mid-June, the junior-college transfer saw his first action as a Virginia Tech player and scored one point in 15 minutes.BUILDING BLOCKMyers transferred from Niagara to Maine and sat out last season and will be a key component for a young Black Bears squad. He hit 6 of 13 and grabbed eight rebounds and didnt look intimidated against the Hokies.He is a guy we can count, Walsh said.UP NEXTThe Black Bears will remain in Virginia, traveling to Farmville to f
