As OGNs Overwatch APEX Season 1 gets closer to its grand finale, the fated showdown between Europes EnVyUs and South Koreas Kongdoo Uncia set the pace for the finals next week on Saturday, Dec. 3 against South Korean team Afreeca Freecs Blue. While EnVyUs had a recent roster swap, it is stronger than ever in a meta that allows stand-in Pongphop Mickie Rattanasangohod to play D.Va 100 percent of the time for EnVyUs. This twist of fate is a huge reason for the European squads victory over fellow EU team Rogue in the semifinals; it also turned out to be a deciding factor in defeating Kongdoo Uncia.The tempo for the best-of-five was set early on on both Lijiang Tower and Kings Row as game-making plays were executed by Kongdoo Uncias Kim birdring Jihyuk on Roadhog versus EnVyUss Jonathan harryhook Tejedor Ruas Soldier 76. Where harryhook was constantly getting the best possible vantage points to rain death upon Kongdoo Uncia, it was birdring who was continuously hooking in key members of EnVyUss defense, even going as far as hooking in harryhook as many times as possible to stop the onslaught of the tactical visor.While birdring and harryhook continued their duel to outshine each other in the heated faceoff, it was Mickie and fellow teammate Christian cocco Jonsson who nailed the coffin shut for Kongdoo Uncia on Eichenwald, the fifth map. At first, Mickies ace D.Va, wasnt finding many multi-kills off her Self-Destruct ultimate. At the end, though, EnVyUs succeeded in pushing Kongdoos entire lineup off the payload during overtime by sending Mickie into the pit of the enemy team to Self-Destruct. Kongdoo saw it coming and the move didnt kill anyone, but it didnt have to. EnVyUs succeeded in making its opponents step off the payload to survive, and then cocco on Reinhardt delivered the finishing blow by landing a massive Earthshatter, stunning the entire enemy team to prevent them from refreshing the overtime counter and erasing all opportunity for a comeback.With this 3-2 victory and incredible tournament momentum at its back, EnVyUs will face off against Afreeca Freecs Blue for the $90,000 first prize and the title of first ever APEX Overwatch champion on Dec. 3.Starling Marte Jersey .

Jeff Green scored 13 points and Kris Humphries 12 for the Celtics, who nearly blew an 18-point, second-half lead. Sullingers 20-20 was the first by a Celtics player since Kevin Garnetts first game in Boston in 2007. Garnett was dealt -- along with Paul Pierce -- to Brooklyn during the off-season. NEW YORK -- Once Juan Lagares saved the game with his glove, he gladly let Mike Baxter win it with his bat. Lagares robbed Andrew McCutchen of a go-ahead hit with a leaping catch at the wall in the top of the ninth inning, then Baxters pinch-hit single in the bottom half sent the New York Mets over the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 Thursday night. "At home plate, I didnt do very well with the bat," Lagares said. "I tried to forget it and play defence." Baxter delivered his second winning pinch-hit in three days. His 10th-inning single Tuesday beat the Chicago White Sox. This time, Baxter batted for Lagares and won it. "Very enjoyable. Good feeling," Baxter said. Lagares was equally responsible for the victory. Before the game, Mets manager Terry Collins said the rookie centre fielder might win a game with his defence -- he was right, maybe sooner than he expected. Called up from Triple-A on April 23 because of his bat and mitt, Lagares preserved the ninth-inning tie with his gem. With a runner on first and two outs, McCutchen hit a loud shot into faraway right-centre field. Lagares glided back, perfectly timed his leap and plucked the ball at the top of the fence as he rammed into the padded wall. It was a fantastic play, yet he seemed so under control he made it look almost routine. "I got a good jump," he said. "I saw it all the way into the glove." Asked if he thought the ball wouldve cleared the wall, Lagares said it was close. Either way, it wouldve at least been a tiebreaking extra-base hit. "That was huge," Baxter said. "Lagares saves the game." McCutchen wasnt so surprised. "I thought he was going to catch it at the wall. I didnt think I got enough of it to get it out," he said. Marlon Byrd singled to start the Mets ninth off Jason Grilli (0-1). Andrew Brown sacrificed and Baxter followed by grounding a single up the middle, easily scoring Byrd. Its been quite a week for Baxter, who grew up in the shadow of Shea Stadium -- just a few minutes from where Citi Field now stands. Baxter is now 5 for 9 as a pinch-hitter this season.dddddddddddd Not bad for someone who, before this week, mightve been known solely for making a sensational catch to preserve Johan Santanas no-hitter last year. Bobby Parnell (4-0) pitched the ninth. The Pirates have lost four of five. Pedro Alvarez hit a solo home run with one out in the eighth off Mets reliever LaTroy Hawkins that made it 2-all. Alvarez began the day batting .168 and in a 1-for-16 rut before a single, sacrifice fly and long drive for his sixth homer. Slumping Ike Davis put the Mets ahead 2-1 in the seventh after entering in the top half during a double switch. He took a terrible swing at a first-pitch slider, then hit the next pitch for an RBI double just beyond the reach of a sliding McCutchen deep in the right-centre field alley. Pittsburgh starter Jeff Locke left for a pinch-hitter in the seventh. He gave up three hits, all of them singles in the second inning. The Pirates tied it at 1 in the sixth. They loaded the bases with no outs when McCutchen and Garrett Jones singled and Russell Martin was hit by a pitch, finishing starter Dillon Gee. Reliever Brandon Lyon avoided major trouble, yielding only a sacrifice fly by Alvarez that made it 1-all. The Mets scored in the second on singles by John Buck and Justin Turner and a sacrifice fly by Byrd. The run ended a streak of 15 scoreless innings on the road for Locke, a span that included outings at Dodger Stadium, Philadelphia and St. Louis. NOTES: Baxter and Alvarez both played high school ball in New York City and went to Vanderbilt. ... Buck and Brown ended 0-for-14 slumps. Browns drought began last year with Colorado. Brown scored on Davis double. ... Martin had missed the previous two games because of a stiff neck. ... Pirates 2B Neil Walker (right hand cut) is starting a rehab assignment with Double-A Altoona. He can come off the disabled list Sunday. ... Pirates RHP Charlie Morton will throw a bullpen session Friday. Hes recovering from Tommy John surgery last June, and had shoulder stiffness last week in a Triple-A rehab outing. ' ' '
