The final eight teams attending the first major of the 2017 competitive Dota 2 season have been decided. Four regional qualifiers held over the past weekend saw 35 squads compete for their respective regions invites, to compete for a share of a $3 million prize pool in Boston with the eight directly invited teams.Team Faceless, WG.Unity, Ad Finem, Virtus Pro, Team NP, Complexity Gaming, LGD.Forever Young and IG.Vitality advance to the Boston Major, which takes place December 3-10 in Bostons Wang Theatre at the Citi Performing Arts Center.The biggest surprises of the qualifiers came from the European region, where the traditional balance of power was turned on its head. Though Team Liquid and Team Secret both made the EU region playoffs, both also failed to make it through the final gauntlet to Boston. Ad Finem, on the other hand, advanced through the playoffs 4-0 to clinch the top spot, while Virtus Pro was dropped to the losers bracket by Liquid, who VP beat later to secure a berth to Boston. Team Liquid and Secret, as well as several other notable EU squads like Alliance, Natus Vincere and Vega Squadron, will all be watching the Boston Major from their couches this December.The Americas region qualifiers, the subject of controversy heading into the regional qualifiers, saw a surprising run for Infamous, a Peruvian team that took matches off some of the best in their bid for the quarters. Team NP had a series of surprising and sometimes baffling plays, but ultimately succeeded at clinching the top spot, with North American regulars Complexity eking out a win over Infamous for the second qualification.In the Southeast Asian region, Faceless were a favorite going into the tournament, but WG.Unity upset both Fnatic and Mineski in a run for the second qualifier spot. Fnatic, a team made up of titans like Chai Mushi Yee Fung and Jimmy DeMoN Ho, only took fourth in the group stage and dropped out of the playoffs in two series.The Chinese region saw some of the greatest competition, as clubs like CDEC Gaming, Vici Gaming and Invictus Gaming all fell short of the playoff mark. LGD.Forever Young, hot off a strong 3-0 at the Nanyang Cruise Cup group stages, pushed even further to secure the first spot into Boston under seasoned captain Zhang xiao8 Ning. LGD Gaming proper had a strong showing in groups, but IG Vitality were the main squads Achilles heel, dealing LGD their only losses throughout the qualifiers and seizing the second qualifier spot in a 2-1 elimination match.These eight teams will join Wings Gaming, Digital Chaos, Evil Geniuses, OG, Newbee, Execration, EHOME and MVP Phoenix in Boston to compete for a $3 million prize pool and bragging rights in the first major title of 2017.Giants Jerseys China . -- Matt Kuchar and Harris English ran away with the Franklin Templeton Shootout, shooting a 14-under 58 on Sunday in the final-round scramble to break the tournament course record.

Toronto finished 0 for 5 in those situations and stranded a total of eight runners during a 2-0 loss Friday night.It wasnt like we faced the average Joe out there and he struggled, manager John Gibbons said. Kluber is one of the elite pitchers in the game.Francisco Lindors two-run homer in the sixth was the difference, as Toronto squandered a complete game from Marco Estrada.I dont think it was a lack of something we did, Gibbons said. I just thought they pitched that well, as did we.Toronto led all playoff teams by hitting .478 with runners in scoring position during the Division Series, after lacking that sort of production in the regular season. The Blue Jays batted .249 with RISP this year, which ranked 24th in the majors.Over the final eight regular-season games, the Blue Jays were 13 for 66 (.197) with one double in those situations. They couldnt move runners past second base on Friday either, stranding six in the first four innings.ddddddddddddTheir best opportunity came in the first inning when Josh Donaldson singled with one out and went to third on a double by Edwin Encarnacion. Kluber then struck out Jose Bautista and got Russell Martin to ground weakly to first.In the second, Devon Travis grounded into an inning-ending double play with two on. Martin whiffed to end a threat with two on in the third.Kluber is pretty good, thats all I know, Gibbons said. Hes got arguably the best right-hand breaking ball in the game. And he kept us honest with enough fastballs. And hes got that razor-blade slider thats tough to do anything with. A big strikeout pitch for him. He gets a lot of weak contact on them, really.Toronto also put runners on in the fourth, sixth and eighth but never pushed a run across. In the eighth, reliever Andrew Miller gave up a single to Donaldson but then struck out the heart of the Blue Jays order: Encarnacion, Bautista and Martin.If youre a fan of pitching it was a dream game for you, Gibbons said.---Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacyFor some of his other recent stories: http://bigstory.ap.org/content/mitch-stacy ' ' '
