MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- If it stays dry, the Mexican Grand Prix is going to be all about strategy. The big question is whether drivers one-stop or two-stop, with Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari already making their first move in Q2 when they decided which compound to start the race on. Red Bulls choice to use the super-softs when they had the pace to use the softs suggests they are targeting a two-stop, whereas Mercedes and Ferrari will start on the soft, potentially giving them a long enough first stint to make a one-stop work.Fridays practice data suggests a two-stop (or even three-stop) is the quickest way to complete the 71 laps, but the cooler conditions two days ago were causing the two softest compounds to grain and therefore lose performance. Graining was not such a big problem in Saturdays hotter conditions, so if its hot on Sunday a one-stop becomes more realistic whereas overcast conditions are likely to favour the two-stop.The risk of the two-stop is that you get dropped into traffic after each pit stop and lose time. Traffic for a number of laps at this circuit has the potential to negate the performance benefit of the new tyres and the overall speed of the strategy. A one-stop has no such risks and allows the team to better cater for a potential safety car period by keeping its options open for longer.The key to the one-stop is the medium tyres, which were experiencing next to no degradation on Friday and in some cases were getting quicker as the fuel load and the stint went on. If Mercedes, for example, one-stop they can make their single tyre change at a point when they know they will maintain track position at the front. With track position secure and overtaking difficult, even a quicker car coming up behind on a two-stop is unlikely to be a threat.The other aspect of the two-stop v one-stop debate is the start. By starting on the super-softs, Red Bull will have more startline grip for the long run down to Turn 1. If they can get ahead of the Mercedes and build a gap, they could start to enjoy the pace benefit of the two-stop and force Mercedes to try to undercut on a two-stop strategy of their own. Leading out of Turn 1 will be crucial to controlling the race.Pirelli recommends the following numbers of laps are not exceeded on each compound: Medium = NO LIMIT suggested Soft = 22 laps Super Soft = 18 lapsOn this basis, the possible pit-stop strategies predicted by Pirelli are as follows:QUICKEST Two-stopper: 2 stints on soft (19 laps on new tyres) + 1 stint on medium of 33 laps Also possible (very close) Three-stopper: 2 stints on super soft (15 laps on new tyres) + 2 stints on soft of 20 and 21 lapsSECOND-QUICKEST Three-stopper: 1 stint on super soft (8 laps on used tyres) + 3 stint on soft of 21 lapsSLOWEST One-stopper: 1 stint on soft (22 laps on new tyres) + 1 stint on medium of 49 laps Different permutations of compound usage within each strategy are possible.With those strategies, and the one-stop mentioned above, in mind, here are the tyres each driver has left for the race. Note that Nico Rosberg chose to complete a second run in Q2 on the softs and therefore has two sets of used softs as opposed to Lewis Hamiltons one new and one used.Cheap Nike Roshe Online . - Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is not a fan of his teams use of the wildcat formation, saying "it makes you look like a high school offence.

We lost five at least $250,000 events in a row in the finals or the semifinals. Finally, we got it after a huge dedication to the viewers and everything. Its still emotional; I was even crying after the game. It feels very good.Another storybook moment in the history of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has been written in front of 8,500 people at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. Na`Vi, which has been considered one of the best teams in the world for quite some time -- but have never closed it out with a major tournament victory -- has finally gotten what they came for.The feeling of winning between the last win and now has been a long time, so of course it feels good. And it felt very bad to lose in the finals so many times. I think it was six or seven times, even more maybe, GuardiaN exclaims. Of course it feels nice, were all happy.Earlier this year in April, Na`Vi lost in the grand final of North Americas largest Counter-Strike tournament, the Major League Gaming 2016 Columbus major, to the best team in the world, SK Gaming, which was known as Luminosity at the time. Several weeks later, the team lost to Ninjas in Pyjamas in Malm?, Sweden.The rough year was a catalyst for change. In July, the team decided it was time to move on without former in-game leader Danylo Zeus Teslenko. That decision caused them another loss, GuardiaN said, as the teams mentality was in the dumps at Zeuss final tournament with them, ELeague Season 1 Playoffs.At the first ELeague, we were first in the group. We passed the group stage and lost in the semifinals against Fnatic, I think, GuardiaN says. But that was already after we told Zeus that we were changing the team [and removing him], so the mentality of the team wasnt so good. We just tried to win but with that mood, you just cant do it.In Zeuss place, Na`Vi added former Team Liquid AWPer Oleksander s1mple Kostyliev. While he was considered one of the most talented Counter-Strike athletes in the world, he has struggled to stick with a team because of his abrasive personality, as well as struggling to fit in other in-game roles. S1mple, for his part however, said on Twitter that Na`Vi was his dream team prior to being added to the lineup.From the beginning, s1mple was just a rifler, seized was the secondary AWPer, but still after some games and events, we had to change because s1mple is s1mple, GuardiaN explains. S1mple is just awesome with every gun. Hes just an all-arounder, so we gave him the secondary AWP.For s1mple, ESL One New York, his offline debut with Na`Vi, goes down in history as one of his best performances, alongside his time in ESL One Cologne 2016 with Team Liquid, where he led the North Americans to a second-place finish.Prior to the final, s1mple made a highlight play on his former teammate Nicholas nitr0 Cannella, as he threw his gun (the AWP) over a wall near the B-site on Dust 2. This distracted nitr0, allowing S1mple to go through the outlet on the wall and shoot nitr0 in the head to clutch the round.I thought that he was going to think,, for one second his mind is going to be confused, distracted and thats one second for me to kill him, s1mple told ESPN.dddddddddddd I heard he planted the bomb by the window, somewhere near it so I moved my crosshair on his head. It worked.After originally leaving Liquid in April after Malm?, s1mple returned home to Ukraine. He expressed, on his Twitch stream, his loneliness in Los Angeles, where he lived during his time on the North American squad. Now with Na`Vi, hes back home in Kiev.Its very comfortable [playing on Na`Vi], he says. Its very easy for me to travel to the office and go back home. Its very nice to practice and play official matches from home so I can meet my friends, talk to my parents and my family. Its better than it was in Los Angeles.S1mple says he has a hard-earned respect for his current teammates, especially GuardiaN, who is among the best in the world according to most analysts and experts of the game. Following a disappointing online Starladder finish, where Na`Vi took 13-16th, the team made in-game role changes. Former secondary AWPer Denis seized Kostin relinquished his role to s1mple and moved to in-game leader, something s1mple says hes happy about.Guardian was always the best, the MVP player for me, every time, s1mple exclaims. Its obvious that hes the main AWP player. Then Valve made the new [coaching] rule and me and Seized changed roles because Seized became in-game leader and its very hard to play with the AWP and coordinate the team; thats why he gave me the secondary AWP role. We may need a little bit more time because we have new roles, new in-game leader and we need more time to practice.Looking forward, Na`Vi has three large events in sight. First, the team will travel to Moscow, not far from their home in the Ukraine, to compete in the Epicenter tournament, where theyll face Fnatic, G2 Esports, Ninjas in Pyjamas, SK Gaming, Virtus.Pro and Team Dignitas.We can say that Moscow will be the homesoil for us, kind of, GuardiaN says. Everybody can beat everybody, itll be hard. I think its 50-50 and we are not overconfident, we are confident in our game, but we will see.After, the team will then travel back to Atlanta for the second season of ELeague, where theyll face Astralis, SK Gaming and Alternate aTTaX, arguably the hardest group in the entire event.Now with the new season, first, were looking forward to it because ELeague is something awesome. Its probably the best event weve been to in terms of organization and everything, so hey, we are looking forward and will practice a lot, GuardiaN says.And to end the winter, the team will travel to Atlanta one more time for ELeague, but not just the normal season. In January, ELeague will play host to the first Valve-supported major tournament of the year at the Fox Theatre. Na`Vi, because of their top-8 finish in Cologne, will automatically receive a berth and a high seed at that event.GuardiaN says theyll wait and see how the winter pans out before concerning themselves with the major, but s1mple says he expects a lot out of his team.First of all, we expect to get out of the group [at the major], s1mple explains. We need more practice so well have a good time practicing before the major because every team is gonna play the major qualifier and were gonna practice a lot. Im pretty sure were gonna prepare for this major and try to win. ' ' '
