The 2016 League of Legends World Championship kicked off in San Francisco with an upset to the home crowds liking. North American fourth-place finisher in the summer split, Counter Logic Gaming, came out of the gate strong and shocked European champion G2 Esports to take the opening game of the tournament at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in front of a raucous crowd.G2 Esports deployed a strategy centered around the poking abilities of Jayce and Jhin in the top and bottom lanes, while CLG decided to attempt a risky strategy focused around flanking and charging at the opponent. It was the early-game teleport presence of Darshan Darshan Upadhyaya that tipped the scales in the North American clubs favor. After getting its footing in the game, CLG leaped out to a lead thanks to the overwhelming pressure of Jake Xmithie Puchero on Olaf (6/0/5), the last champion selected in the pick/ban phase.In a game where CLG couldnt hang back in fear of G2 Esports long-range attack, the Mid-Season Invitational finalists made the Europeans react to their up-tempo play. Whenever G2 started to stabilize from the early mistakes, Xmithie would visit one of the three lanes, usually backed by Darshan, to terrorize another lane. CLG never let the back-to-back European champion get off the ground and closed out the game in a tidy, one-sided fashion.Immortals Kim Reignover Yeu-jin helped CLG train while bootcamping for the world championships in Korea. If Xmithies performance from Game 1 is any indication, the brain trust of Immortals and CLGs starting junglers is something for the rest of Group A to worry about in the upcoming days.CLGs next game will be Wednesday against wild-card combatant Albus Nox Luna from CIS, and G2 Esports will follow that game with a match against group favorites ROX Tigers of South Korea.

Thats not a good way to approach it. Its unfortunate. Its frustrating for sure. Having to always work through that first inning to put yourself in a good position. Still confident out there.Kazmir (9-4) gave up four runs and eight hits in 6 2/3 innings. The left-hander entered the game as the National Leagues only undefeated pitcher -- minimum of 10 starts -- since May 14, going 7-0 with a 3.73 ERA in 13 starts.Segura led the Diamondacks out of the starting gate by hitting Kazmirs third pitch of the game over the fence for his fourth leadoff home run of the season.I felt like the first two pitches were nice and smooth, good direction, good delivery, and then I tried to overthrow that third one, Kazmir said. Not as sharp early, but once I made adjustments, use my cutter a lot more in the late innings I was able to get some quick outs.With a 3-0 lead, Braden Shipley settled into give the Diamondbacks six scoreless innings, and the Dodgers fell for only the second time in six games. They dropped two games behind division-leading San Francisco.We just let this one slip away, Kazmir said. Giving up three early in the same, really setting the tone. Shipley, he was great out there. You have to tip your cap to him. He really pitched well out there.Los Angeles went 17-9 from June 26 through Friday night, and had cut the Giants division lead from 6 1/2 games to one since the All Star break.Shipley (1-1), Arizonas 2013 first-round draft pick, held the Dodgers to five hits in his second career start as the Diamondbacks won for only the third time in 11 games. He struck out four and walked one.I was just sticking with my plan, you know, staying down in the zone, using my sinker effectively, said Shipley, who got 11 ground-ball outs five days after surrendering three home runs in his major league debut. Thats kind of what I knew that I had to do coming into the night. JJust work down in the zone, and mix pitches, and use that sinker.ddddddddddddSegura added an RBI double in the second, and is hitting .396 (19 for 48) over his last 12 games.Joc Pederson hit his 15th home run, and second in two nights, with two outs in the ninth inning for Los Angeles. Corey Seager drilled his 30th double of the season with two outs in the third, tying the Dodgers rookie record for doubles set by Eric Karros in 1992.You never like losing, but offensively the scorecard doesnt really show the quality of our at-bats, said Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. I think our guys competed, squared the baseball up, but didnt have a whole lot to show tonight.Brandon Drury singled home Phil Gosselin with two outs in the seventh for Arizonas final run. Gosselin had been called out stretching a single into a double, but the Diamondbacks challenged the call and it was overturned after a 1-minute, 27-second review.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: Zach Greinke pitched three innings in a rehab start Friday night in an Arizona rookie league game interrupted by a thunderstorm.
