On just the second day of The International 6, the audience in KeyArena saw David slay Goliath. TnC Gaming, one of the Southeast Asian qualifier teams, took down tournament favorites OG 2-0.The OG squad, captained by Tal Fly Aizik, came into TI6 as clear favorites for a top spot. The victors of both the Frankfurt and Manila Majors, the five players of OG are considered to be among the best in Dota. From Amer Miracle- Al-Barkawi, widely considered one of the best mid laners in the scene, to highlight-worthy supports like Andreas Cr1t- Nielsen, there was little doubt this team would rise to the top, even after being sent to the lower bracket by MVP Phoenix.Enter TnC Gaming, led by longtime North American Dota player Jimmy DeMoN Ho. This team went 7-7 in the group stage against stiff competition, but was still unfavored in the matchup. However, given players like Nico eyyou Barcelon, a four-role support who can exert the same level of pressure as Cr1t-, and cores Marc Raven Fausto and Carlo Kuku Palad, this TnC squad might have been the most underestimated at the tournament.In game one, OG drafted a comfortable, proven set of heroes, utilizing the synergy of Medusa and Drow Ranger to push early and fast. Despite a net worth lead for most of the early game, OG struggled to keep its cores alive and pushing, with Johan n0tail Sundstein giving up a series of early deaths that halted the teams momentum. TnC dragged it out, relying on Ravens Lifestealer to get the items needed, while eyyou constantly made space and picks for TnC. Despite having Miracle- on a strong pick, he wasnt able to carry against the dual threats of TnC, and OG tapped out just after the 54-minute mark.OG sprang back in game two, turning to the signature Tiny-Wisp combination that few teams ever allow to slip through the first ban phase. In response, TnC drafted a Drow strategy of its own, turning to a Vengeful Spirit and Huskar for an explosive early game to shut down Miracle-s Ember Spirit. Again, OG had an early game lead, pushing TnC repeatedly back into its own base, breaking tower after tower and dominating the first 30 minutes. TnC bent, faltered, but never broke, somehow rebuffing OG right at the last critical moment every time. A series of excellent chronospheres and catch-outs gradually pushed TnC up, and eventually TnC found itself inside OGs base, hammering the final nail in the coffin and forcing out the win.TnC advances to the top eight of TI6, the first team from the Philippines to ever do so, and will compete again tomorrow in the next round of the lower bracket. OG finishes in the 9th-12th bracket, and will now have to face questions of roster swaps and an uncertain road to TI7. Vapormax 97 Nere . The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Pittsburgh was so darn good in the first half, coach Kevin Stallings found it easy to forgive his players misdeeds over the final 20 minutes.Jamel Artis scored 15 of his 22 points before halftime, and the Panthers held off previously unbeaten Maryland 73-59 Tuesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.The Panthers (6-1) shot 67 percent from the floor in the first half, including 5 for 10 beyond the arc, and used a 25-4 run to build a 46-25 lead at the break.I thought our team played about as well in the first half as weve played on both ends, Stallings said. We were alert and active.It was 51-26 with 15:45 remaining before Maryland (7-1) closed to 63-55 with three minutes left, in part because Pittsburgh shot 26 percent in the second half.Coming off two come-from-behind wins in the Barclays Center Classic in New York, Maryland was vying for its first 8-0 start in 10 years.Instead, the Terrapins absorbed their worst home defeat since falling by 18 to Duke in February 2011.Though coach Mark Turgeon wouldnt cite fatigue as a factor, he was quick to point out that the Terrapins were coming off late games on Friday and Saturday.It was a good time to catch us, he said.Michael Young scored 25 and Cameron Johnson added 11 for Pittsburgh, which extended its winning streak to four despite being outscored 35-28 after halftime.Melo Trimble led Maryland with 13 points, but he missed 9 of 13 shots. The Terps shot 34 percent, committed 14 turnovers and were outrebounded 38-36.Trimble insisted that playing for the third time in five days had nothing to do with it.We like playing basketball; this is what we do, he said. I dont think fatigue was a factor; its just we couldnt hit shots and they played well.Pittsburgh led 26-20 before Artis made a 3-point play, a 3-pointer and a layup to spark a 14-0 spurt that made it a 20-point game.They kind of punched us in thhe mouth in the first half, Turgeon said.ddddddddddddMaryland, formerly of the ACC, is 0-3 in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge since 10 joining the Big Ten.THE TAKEAWAYPittsburgh: Despite the late fade, the Panthers proved they can play with some of the stronger teams in the country. This one erases some of the doubt created by a nine-point loss to SMU and a five-point win at home against Yale.Maryland: The Terps have put themselves in a seemingly insurmountable hole many times this season, and this was no exception. On this occasion, the deficit was simply too much to handle. Maryland cant afford these slow starts once Big Ten play begins.ZONED OUTPittsburghs zone defense was a factor in Maryland going 9 for 26 in the first half, including 4 for 16 from beyond the arc.It took away a lot of drives, Young said. They had to swing the ball around the perimeter.Asked if Marylands struggle against the zone could be a factor in the future, Turgeon replied, Please zone us. Were going to be great against the zone.FRIENDLY FOESStallings and Turgeon were assistant coaches under Roy Williams at Kansas from 1989-92. During that time, Williams made a comment that stuck with Stallings over the years and was very applicable on Tuesday night.He used to say that in the dictionary, the definition of fun was ... winning on the road, Stallings said. Its hard to win on the road. This was certainly fun for our guys. And fun for our staff. Nice to come here and beat a good team on the road in a good environment.UP NEXTPittsburgh faces local rival Duquesne on Friday night in The City Game, a tradition that started in 1932.Maryland hosts Oklahoma State (5-1) on Saturday night. The Cowboys are coming off a 27-point win over Georgetown, a team the Terrapins beat 76-75.
