The first day of the Rocket League Championship Series Season 2 Grand Finals between EUs and NAs top teams wrapped up today with some incredible upsets all around. Day 1 featured eight matches up to the upper bracket final and the lower bracket semifinal; the conclusion of the championship will be Dec. 4, as one of the eight teams will leave Amsterdam $50,000 richer.RLCS Grand Finals Day 1 resultsMatch 1: Precision Z vs. NRG EsportsIn the first match of the day European fourth seed Precision Z defeated North American first seed NRG Esports 3-2 and advanced to the upper bracket semifinals to face the winner of Northern Gaming and Genesis.Match 2: Northern Gaming vs. GenesisEUs Northern Gaming annihilated NA third seed Genesis 3-0 and made it look easy; this sets up a very interesting matchup vs. Precision Z in the upper bracket semifinal.Match 3: FlipSid3 Tactics vs. Take 3In what many expected to be the most one-sided matchup of the night, EUs FlipSid3 moved past NAs Take 3 only after a very surprising five-goal victory for Take 3 in Game 2. FlipSid3 still recovered to take the series comfortably and move on 3-1.Match 4: Orbit Esports vs. Mockit AcesNorth Americas sadness is complete. Europe finishes the coup with Mockit Aces reverse-sweeping Orbit to move on and face FlipSid3 in the upper bracket semifinals.Match 5: Precision Z vs. Northern GamingNorthern Gaming moved past Precision Z 3-1, coming into the upper bracket finals as the first team to advance to one game away from the Grand Finals grand finals. Precision Z, which looked relatively good in the defeat, seems poised to be a top contender in the lower bracket.Match 6: FlipSid3 Tactics vs. Mockit AcesNo one saw this coming. Mockit Aces defeated FlipSid3 Tactics 3-1 to join Northern Gaming in the upper bracket finals. This upset changed the layout of the day as the lower bracket teams suddenly have FlipSid3 to fear as they look to make a deep run.Match 7: NRG vs. GenesisNRG defeated Genesis to send the latter out of the tournament on the first day, a very disappointing showing for the North American third seed. NRG will be happy to have already performed better than it did last season.Match 8: Orbit vs. Take 3In the upset of the tournament Take 3 defeated Orbit 3-1 to topple the North American giants. This leaves Orbit and Genesis -- the second and third seeds from North America -- out of the tournament.Day 2 PreviewMatch 1: Upper bracket final - Northern Gaming vs. Mockit AcesThe upper bracket final features two of the European big three and should be one of the best matchups of the tournament. Overall Northern looked better on the day and should come in as the favorite, but Mockit Aces should in no way be overlooked. Expect a solid match with two of the best teams in the world fighting for a guaranteed top-two finish.Predicted winner: Northern GamingMatch 2: Lower bracket semifinal - NRG vs. FlipSid3 TacticsThis match should not be close. FlipSid3, despite having a bad first day, is still a stellar team that should come out of this No. 1 seed matchup with flying colors and advance to the lower bracket finals. If NRG can overcome this challenge it should truly be considered to be the same high caliber as iBuyPower from last RLCS. If NRG wins this, be ready for an insane day.Predicted winner: FlipSid3 TacticsMatch 3: Lower bracket semifinal - Precision Z vs. Take 3In addition to a No. 1 seed duel, we also have a No. 4 seed matchup. If you had asked yesterday, the match would be insanely easy for Precision Z. Now that Take 3 has defeated Orbit its all up in the air. Whichever team builds on the first days momentum more for Day 2 should be the successful one and Precision Z has the more impressive results to go on.Predicted winner: Precision Z A. J.

He was taken to a local hospital where the clot was revealed. The club announced the surgery following a 5-3 exhibition loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Chapel Hill, N.C. -- Nate Britt hasnt been able to make up for the offense and shooting touch lost with North Carolinas starting point guard sidelined by an ankle injury.Still, the senior was good enough in the final minutes of a tight game to help the No. 7 Tar Heels complete a big comeback -- with some help from a couple of freshmen.Rookie big man Tony Bradley Jr. blocked a shot in the final seconds to help the Tar Heels rally from 15 down to beat Tennessee 73-71 on Sunday, a performance that Hall of Fame coach Roy Williams described as a struggle.With Joel Berry II missing his second straight game due to a sprained left ankle suffered last weekend, Britt finished with 11 points and shot just 4 of 14, but he also had seven assists and a career-high five steals.I talked to (assistant coach Hubert) Davis after practice yesterday and he was telling me: The shots will come ... but youve got to lose yourself in the game, Britt said. You can do so much more than just knock down shots.Britt has started with Berry out, but went 0 for 8 against Davidson. Justin Jackson scored 27 points and hit seven 3-pointers to carry the offense that night, but he shot just 3 of 15 Sunday -- though he had the go-ahead driving score with 2:14 left.While Kenny Williams III led UNC with 12 points, Bradley finished with 10 points and 10 rebounds while fellow freshman Brandon Robinson tipped in a missed drive by Britt with 52.4 seconds left for a three-point lead.Roy Williams was irked by his teams play in the Davidson win. He wasnt much happier Sunday.I approach it like we stunk it up, and we made a couple of plays at the end, he said.Robert Hubbs III had 21 points to lead the Volunteers (4-4), who led 30-15 early and shot 65 percent in the first half beefore finishing at 52 percent.dddddddddddd But UNC had 22 offensive boards and scored 25 second-chance points to offset its 40-percent shooting.We told our team at halftime: if were going to win the game, were going to have to do it by rebounding the ball, Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said. We didnt do it. Carolina just played volleyball with it.BIG PICTURETennessee: The Volunteers repeatedly came up big shots to answer UNCs pushes in the second half. But rebounding and the 3-for-13 shooting from 3-point range was too much to overcome.Like I told them, its easy to go in the locker room and say, `We did this, we did that, but the fact is we came to win and we didnt, Barnes said. I dont want them to feel good about being close in games. Weve got to figure out a way to get over the hump.UNC: The Tar Heels badly miss Berrys floor leadership, scoring ability and toughness to finish through contact. That was especially glaring with Jackson struggling and the front line of Kennedy Meeks and Isaiah Hicks combining for 15 points and nine boards.While Roy Williams wouldnt focus on Berrys absence, Britt was asked about his takeaway from the past two games of playing without Berry.You could see how much we need him, Britt said.BRADLEYS BLOCKTennessee had a last chance to tie as Lamonte Turner drove toward the basket. The 6-foot-10 Bradley blocked the shot and grabbed the loose ball in what amounted to the Volunteers last real shot.The point guard was dribbling toward me kind of fast so I knew just to try to help, Bradley said. I put my hand up and the ball hit my hand, and I got the rebound. It happened so fast. ' ' '
