Afreeca Freecs Jo Patience Ji Hyun took home the 14th HomeStory Cup over KT Rolsters Joo Zest Sung Wook for the first-place prize of $10,000. In an intense best-of-seven series that went the distance, Patience lived up to the moniker and outlasted his challenger. The underdog Protoss player surprised many and took down a very difficult tournament cup over the likes of some of StarCraft IIs strongest players in 2016.The HomeStory Cup has long been a fixture in the competitive StarCraft landscape since its inception in 2010. It was one of the first tournaments that humanized the professionals that commanded the units in the StarCraft universe with the use of player cameras, commentary, and interviews after the games. This years HomeStory Cup XIV was significant because of the uncertainty of the events future. With only one large sponsorship in MIFcom, the large-scale tournament struggled to maintain its signature quality.The news, delivered by organizer Dennis TaKe Gehlen, was that the future of the cup would match the landscape of professional StarCraft II. Translation: This years iteration was the last HomeStory Cup of this size and reach. Gehlen said that it was not the end of the tournament series, but it would be scaling back.The HomeStory Cup XIV played out via a group stage that was broken down in two stages. The initial group stage was largely devoid of surprises and upsets and many sets were one-sided. There were great showings from westerners, such as Team Liquids Jens Snute Aasgaard and True eSports Mikolaj Elazer Ogonowski, but it was the South Korean powerhouses like Kang Solar Min Soo and Kim Stats Dae Yeob that absolutely dominated the field.Overall, the tournament was a blow against the revival of a western hope against the Korean overlords.In the finals, Zest took control of the game with early aggression, taking full advantage of the map choices. Whether it was a map without a ramp to play better defense or timing pushes, the set looked like a wipe-out. Zests ability to out-tech his opponent -- in addition to his control over warp prisms and walling out Patiences Stalker defense -- boosted him to a very quick 2-0 lead in the grand finals.Patience tied the set after the early mishaps with a consistent approach. Patience took advantage of Zests macro struggles and over-extensions for his first win in the set. He overwhelmed with his larger Stalker army against the enemy defenses and with better supply and the ability to refill his push over and over, Zests momentum was stalled out. Patiences superior micro and constant aggression took full advantage of Zests poor unit positioning for the stalemate.Both players traded wins with traits unique to their style, Zest with initial aggression and map control and Patience with stronger positioning and patience, until the final game where it was almost a complete mirror-match. Zest started the game with a fast expansion cheese, but Patience answered back with faster technology and stronger aggression. Despite Zests strong defense and pincer movements, Patiences supply lead and overall positioning in fights was too difficult to overcome and he closed out the set in a battle of supply.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- As the NHL offseason extended into July, Arizona Coyotes fans became concerned. Captain Shane Doan had not re-signed with the team.Behind the scenes there was no need to worry. Once Doan decided he wanted to play a 21st season, it was just a matter of working out the details and finding time to get a contract done.Doan signed a one-year contract with a base salary of $2.5 million on Tuesday, ensuring the NHLs longest-tenured captain will remain in the desert for at least one more season. The total deal will be around $5 million with a deferred signing bonus and deferred incentives.Obviously, I wanted to get it done as soon as possible, but I know there were things that needed to be put in place, Doan said. It wasnt anything I had anxiety about or anything like that. Its something we knew eventually would get done.The 39-year-old Doan is coming off one of his best seasons, leading Arizona with 28 goals and finishing with 19 assists in 72 games. He has spent his entire 20-year career with the franchise, starting when it was in Winnipeg in 1995, and is its all-time leader in goals (296), points (945) and games (1,466).Doan had opportunities to be traded to or sign with Stanley Cup-caliber teams, particularly after becoming a free agent four years ago. Instead, he remained loyal to the only franchise hes played for, further endearinng him to an Arizona fan base that already appreciated his blue-collar work ethic and contributions to the community.dddddddddddd.Hes captain, our leader, someone who brings everyone to the next level, Coyotes general manager John Chayka said. Were excited to reach an agreement with him and get him on a team we feel has a chance to be real good by the end of the season.Doan had previously signed a four-year, $21.2 million contract that expired at the start of free agency this month and had been debating whether to continue playing.Arizonas youth movement helped lure him back.The Coyotes had a disappointing 2015-16 season and missed the playoffs for the fourth straight year, but have a strong core of young players. Max Domi and Anthony Duclair had solid rookie seasons in 2015-16 and Arizonas system is considered one of the NHLs best.Those young guys, I cant say enough about how much they made me feel relevant, Doan said. With a young group, its easy to be the old guy nagging, kind of pointing things out all the time, but our young guys were always respectful and eager to listen, want to listen. That makes it fun.Doan was drafted by the Coyotes with the seventh overall pick of the 1995 draft and was named captain in 2003. ' ' '
