The home side created most of the chances but struggled to break down Braunschweigs resilient defence, resulting in the Bundesligas 1,000th scoreless draw.

Cheap Timberwolves Jerseys . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. The group stage of the International 2016 ended with a few surprises. On the winners side of the bracket there are several teams that snuck up on the competition with strong performances: last years champions Evil Geniuses, Digital Chaos, Alliance, and EHOME.EHOME dominated the wild card bracket and finished up as the top finisher, record-wise, in Group B. Alliance and Evil Geniuses were the two teams that came into the event with plenty of question marks -- questions on whether the lineups would perform well together or if they could even be contenders. Then, the dark horse of the group, Digital Chaos, was just a shock to the Dota 2 world.The main event should provide plenty of fireworks as well. These are the teams that could do some damage.Team LiquidTeam Liquid is underperforming.Thats an understatement.This juggernaut of a team is suffering from severe performance issues. The lone bright spots on the lineup continue to be the support play, especially Jesse JerAx Vainikka, but inconsistency plague and threaten the teams tournament chances.In the group stage, Team Liquid played to the tune of a 5-9 record and looked absolutely lost at times. There were certainly moments where the teams signature defense and comeback potential shown (its matches against Team Secret and Newbee), but it was mostly a lost cause. All that said, Team Liquid faces shaky NaVi first, who accrued a 6-8 record in groups. Should TL win, itll take on a beatable Fnatic or a very beatable Escape Gaming, meaning a good run and possible high finish is still achieevable.dddddddddddd.MVP PhoenixThe team may be on the winners side of the bracket, but it drew one of the favorites, OG, as its first round opponent. However, not all hope is lost. If the South Korean powerhouse drops from the winners side, its placement will be forgiving in the losers bracket. The next potential matchups could be TNC Pro Team and then LGD Gaming, both very winnable situations.This is a team that moves fast and decides faster. This lineup blew up last year with a blitzkrieg-esque strategy to just plow through opponents, but this is refined MVP Phoenix. Its a lineup that could pull back and draw out mistakes, in addition to accelerating the pace. Theres plenty of potential for a top 4 finish.EHOMEThe darlings of the wildcard can run the gauntlet and leave Seattle as the champions of the International. Its all there for the Chinese. They lead the tournament in kill/death ratio at 5.04, third in average kills with 25.79, second lowest average deaths with only 16.93, and third in average assists with a robust 59.57. In other words, this team is doing it all.From top to bottom, theres been hardly a weak link and the bracket lines up perfectly for a deep tournament run. This team will be favored against Alliance and then face a winnable matchup against either Evil Geniuses or fellow countrymen, Newbee. The biggest hurdle may be OG, but EHOME looks every bit the part of championship contender. ' ' '
