Samsung Galaxy was once atop the world, Summoners Cup champions in 2014, and suddenly lost it all when every member of its two world-class squads, Samsung White and Blue, left for bigger contracts in China. Two years after the rebuild started, Samsung has returned to Worlds and is aiming for the same feat it accomplished in 2014.In Samsungs first game at Worlds since White beat Starhorn Royal Club to win the world championship, it was a clear-cut victory for the third-place Korean team over Europes Splyce. With Samsungs win, both Korean teams returned to their hotels victorious, while Europe fell to 0-3 on the day.I think we should have had an easier win, Samsungs rookie AD carry Park Ruler Jae-hyuk said to ESPN after the opening-day conquest. But I made a lot of mistakes and threw a couple of times, as well. I think we have to work on those mistakes for future games.In a previous interview on opening day, CLGs AD carry Trevor Stixxay Hayes gave high praise toward the Samsung marksmen and his team as a whole. Ruler echoed the compliment, but thinks Stixxay can improve with more balance.I think CLG is a really good team, Ruler said. They have really good teamwork, and they know how to close a game when ahead. And also, about Stixxay, I think hes a really good ADC, but sometimes it feels like hes too aggressive, or sometimes too focused on farming CS. I think if he can balance it out, hes going to be an even better ADC.Ruler joined Samsung during the summer split and sparked the teams early-season success. After failing to make the Korean playoffs since White and Blue departed to China, Ruler became the final piece of the puzzle that pushed Samsung back into the postseason. Although Samsung couldnt make the finals, getting blown out by KT Rolster in the quarterfinals 3-0, it came back with a vengeance in the Korean Regional Qualifiers to make Worlds by defeating the same team that eliminated them from the playoffs.Rather than having a rival, I have three players I [respect] and think are better than me: Uzi from RNG, Bang from SKT, and Pray from ROX.TSM, we never actually scrimmed them and I didnt watch their games, so theres not much to comment, he said, going over the other two teams in the group other than Splyce. RNG, they are a really super aggressive team, so if we can handle their aggression well we should be able to pull off the victory.The western fans know ROX Tigers and its fast-paced, stylistic offensive play. They know of SKT and its meticulous map play and legendary mid laner. Samsung, at least in this iteration, not so much.We are a team with really good teamwork, and we are all really close and fun people in general, Ruler said. I hope the NA fans cheer for us and please dont make any toxic comments. Albert Abreu Yankees Jersey .

Don Mattingly Yankees Jersey .Y. -- Canadas Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse have another World Cup gold medal after winning the two-women bobsled race on Saturday in Lake Placid, N. LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Louisvilles lopsided victories had raised expectations so high for the No. 7 Cardinals that a close victory seemed unlikely against an outmatched opponent.But a second straight defeat looked possible against Duke on Friday night until a late penalty by the Blue Devils allowed quarterback Lamar Jackson to seal a shaky win for the Cardinals.Jackson provided a cushion with a 2-yard touchdown run with 1:32 remaining and Louisville held off Duke 24-14, and the outcome was all that mattered to the Cardinals.We didnt blow them out, but we did win the game, said Louisville coach Bobby Petrino, whose team had averaged a nation-leading 58 points coming in.The Cardinals caught a break after Evan OHaras 46-yard field goal missed wide left as Dukes Breon Borders was called for roughing the kicker. The penalty moved the ball to the 14 and Jackson did the rest with a 12-yard run followed by the short score that Louisville (5-1, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) sorely needed.I wasnt going to let my team down, the Heisman Trophy contender said. We were going down there to score.Jackson accounted for 325 yards of offense and two touchdowns, hitting Jaylen Smith with a 5-yard scoring pass on the opening drive. Jeremy Smith added an 80-yard TD run in the third quarter, and OHara kicked a 22-yard field goal as the Cardinals came off the bye and earned the programs 500th victory.Duke (3-4, 0-3) remained winless in ACC play but gave Louisville more than it expected.The Cardinals sought a big bounce back after losing at Clemson, especially with a week off. The Cardinals offense certainly looked refreshed from the break as they drove 80 yards in 10 plays with Jacksons TD pass capping the drive.Duke wasnt fazed and answered quickly as Daniel Jones hit Erich Schneider for a 9-yard TD to tie it and trail just 10-7 at the half. The Blue Devils later closed within three as Jones hit a 20-yard TD pass to Johnathan Lloyd with 6:34 remaining to cap a 15-play, 75-yard drive that consumed 8:53.I believed our guys had confidence they could win,, said Duke coach David Cutcliffe, whose team controlled the clock for 37:12.dddddddddddd I dont think it surprised anyone that we scored early and matched a team like that.Duke seemed poised to take one final clock-chewing crack at beating Louisville until the penalty quashed that hope. Jackson then took control for Louisville -- as usual.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Cardinals might lose some position after escaping with a close win despite being 35-point favorites. Petrino chose to focus on the bottom line and said, our objective is to go win, keep ourselves in (playoff consideration), and I think we did that. Weve just got to go play better.THE TAKEAWAYDuke: The Blue Devils werent intimidated by Jackson or the Cardinals. Jones was 14 of 21 passing for 129 yards including a 51-yarder. Jela Duncan returned from a leg injury to rush for 44 yards on 12 carries. But they managed just two scoring drives despite controlling the clock and committed a costly penalty that could have provided one last shot to win.Louisville: The Cardinals never trailed and outgained Duke 469-239 but never seemed in full control. Two chances to gain breathing room in the third quarter ended with Brandon Radcliffe fumbling on one possession and OHaras missing from 42 yards on the next.We lost our focus, Jackson said. We were driving the ball, hit a hump. (Well) watch film and get everything fixed. We were down there several times; weve got to get it right.Jackson seemed off on some throws but offset that with his speed and nifty footwork on several key fourth-quarter runs including their final drive. He completed 13 of 26 passes for 181 yards and rushed 21 times for 144. He is responsible for 30 touchdowns, 15 each passing and rushing.UP NEXTDuke: The Blue Devils will have a bye before traveling to Georgia Tech on Oct. 29.Louisville: The Cardinals host North Carolina State next Saturday.---AP College Football: collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
