The first day of the group stages of the premier tournament, The International 6, saw two groups clash for the first time. The matches set the tone for the next few weeks, showing that teams with an early lead wont have to worry about wins later, while those who struggle will be in a constant uphill battle.In Group A, OG was the top of its game, putting up a 2-0 against Alliance and going even with Evil Geniuses and LGD Gaming. The former North American powerhouse Evil Geniuses had easily the best performance of the first day, tieing OG and LGD for the top spot in Group A with a 4-2 record. Though there were concerns about EGs potential coming into TI6, the team has made a statement today: the former champs are back in full form.Trailing behind in the second three-way tie were TNC Gaming, Wings Gaming and Alliance. Though TNC lost 0-2 to Alliance, a 2-0 sweep of Wings and 1-1 trade with NaVi surprised many, keeping the SEA qualifiers in the winners side of the group for a day. Natus Vincere had a tough 2-4 showing, and Escape Gaming rounded out the bottom of Group A, only managing a single win against NaVi.Group B didnt disappoint in exciting matches either, with plenty of surprises in the first two sets of matches played. At the top were Newbee, Digital Chaos, Team Secret and EHOME. Alongside the Chinese favorites for the group were two qualifier teams and a wild-card squad, and all four ended day one with 3-1 records.Sitting just outside the winners split in Group B are MVP Phoenix and Team Liquid, teams that both went even in games played. Liquid was expected to place higher and will need to make a comeback, while MVP showcased its typical aggression and will likely fight back hard in tomorrows matches. The only teams to go winless today were Vici Gaming Reborn and Fnatic, who currently round out the bottom of Group B.Arijanet Muric Manchester City Jersey .

CHICAGO -- From the jubilant parade all the way to the boisterous rally, millions of excited fans spent a sun-drenched Friday celebrating another Stanley Cup title for the Chicago Blackhawks. Dressed mostly in red and black, they came out to say thanks for the memories. Turns out, captain Jonathan Toews and Co. wanted to return the favour. "This shows how unbelievable this city is," Toews said, addressing the rapt crowd at Grant Park. "Unbelievable. Thank you." The Blackhawks rode to the rally in red, open-topped buses, passing waving and screaming fans of every age as the parade travelled from the United Center to the downtown party. Toews hoisted the Stanley Cup over his head to show it off to the crowd, which was cooled by large water misters placed along the route with temperatures in the low 80s. One of the many signs read "Thank you, guys" on the top line and "Best 17 seconds of my life" for the second part -- referring to the pair of late goals that lifted the Blackhawks to a 3-2 title-clinching victory over the Boston Bruins on Monday night. And there was at least one expression of love for Andrew Shaw, the hardscrabble forward who required stitches on his face after he was hit by a puck Monday. It was the second championship in four seasons for the Blackhawks, and authorities thought Fridays crowd was even heartier than the 2 million that came out in 2010. "What do you say we get back here and do it again next year?" forward Patrick Sharp said to a big cheer at the rally. The Grant Park crowd also enjoyed a brief but colorful speech by normally reserved goaltender Corey Crawford, who drew wide grins and chuckles from his teammates. "Its tough to follow that speech by Corey Crawford," Toews said after he carried the Cup onto the stage. Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said 42 people were taken to hospitals with heat-related health problems. He also said 20 people jumped into a restricted part of Lake Michigan and the fire department made sure that all 20 came out of the water. The massive crowd at thhe park grew steadily all morning long, with the most ardent supporters camping out overnight, ready to sprint to the big stage the minute police swung the barriers aside.dddddddddddd By the time buses delivered the players and their families, the park was packed. Some fans brought along homemade versions of the Stanley Cup, including one fashioned from an empty beer keg. Twenty-somethings Courtney Baldwin and Meghan OKane, from the citys suburbs, slapped together their tribute from a jumble of jugs and plastic bowls painted grey. It was empty Friday morning, but Baldwin said they planned to fill it with an adult beverage in the afternoon -- a common occurrence for the actual silver trophy over the past week. One fan who dashed to the front near the stage was Michael Wilczynski, a 26-year-old sales associate from the suburbs. His father took him to his first game and they partied together downtown after the last Stanley Cup victory. "My dad died in February. We came to 2010. Im not going to miss this. I had to be here," he said. The Blackhawks gave the city something to celebrate as the Cubs and White Sox grind through another lost summer. And fans took note. "We love the Blackhawks. This is history and this is a championship, unlike the Cubs," OKane said, taking a shot at a team that hasnt won a World Series since 1908. The franchises fifth Stanley Cup was the culmination of a banner season for the Blackhawks, who set an NHL record when they recorded at least one point in the first 24 games -- half of the lockout-shortened schedule. They finished with the best record in the league. The dramatic Game 6 victory in Boston sparked a raucous party in parts of Chicago. Fans poured out of bars after the thrilling finish and celebrated in the streets in the several neighbourhoods. Sarah Schmidt, 22, who grew up in Chicago and made the pilgrimage to Fridays celebrations from Milwaukee, told her boss she was taking the day off no matter what. She hoped her bartending gig would still be there when the party was over. "I cant miss this," she said. ' ' '
