The first day of the 2016 Capcom Cup consisted of nearly 13 hours of fighting game action and a body count that could only be described as a bloodbath. No player was safe from elimination and upsets littered the floor of the Esports Arena in Santa Ana, California.When the dust settled, there were eight players left to compete for the $120,000 first place prize: Joe MOV Egami, Team Liquids Du NuckleDu Dang, Evil Geniuses Ricki Ortiz, YOUDEALs Tatsuya MJS|Haitani Haitani and Fujimura Yukadon Atsushi, Team Razers Keita Fuudo Ai, Hail Marys Goichi Go1 Kishida, and GGPs Ryota Kazunoko Inoue.The shockers came early on Friday with heavyweights Team Razers Lee Infiltration Seon-woo and Hajime Tokido Taniguchi exiting the tournament without a win. The other tournament favorites, Evil Geniuses Yusuke Momochi Momochi and ZOWIEs Bruce GamerBee Hsiang finished with a disappointing record of 1-2. And Street Fighter legend Daigo The Beast Umehara also didnt make it out of the prelims.With all the upsets and consistent finishers falling short, the stage is set for a new champion to be crowned on Saturday. Heres a look at the players who still have a shot at the title.Joe MOV EgamiMOV was arguably the best Chun-Li in Street Fighter V and one of its finer players, but came into the finals with little fanfare or expectation. That was clearly a mistake because he handled matchup after matchup with relative ease and played his neutral game on his own terms. He was one of the best players in terms of reactions and character optimization and looked every bit like a tournament favorite.MOV may be the only Chun-Li player to use her full toolset and corral the most damage out of every opportunity -- an important strength to have in a tournament setting. His fearless disposition and bullying neutral game will be a nightmare for his upcoming opponents.Du NuckleDu DangThe North American champion NuckleDu was many peoples pick to make a deep run in the tournament, and he proved his supporters right. He destroyed his bracket and made short work out of his biggest road block in Qanba Douyus Zhuojun Xiao Hai Zeng with unrelenting aggression.His mastery over Rainbow Mika, Guile, and Nash will provide a strong stable of versatility and serves as his strongest asset. His fearlessness and clutch factor rank among the best in the fighting game community and he remains the best chance for a North American victory in Anaheim.Ricki OrtizOne of the bigger surprises of the Capcom Cup was the emergence of Ricki Ortiz Chun-Li. She was already considered one of the best in the Western Hemisphere, but was not a favorite for the Capcom Cup. That said, she was arguably the most the clutch out of every character in the tournament; she ground out victories regardless of her characters vitality or stage positioning.Ortiz will enter the top 8 in the winners bracket with the chance to truly cement Chun-Lis status as a monster in Street Fighter V. Her pluses include an infallible mindset and attitude and some of the best hit-confirms among the rest of the tournament field.Tatsuya HaitaniTatsuya Haitani was considered one of the best, if not the best, in Japan when Street Fighter V was in its infancy, but his tournament results never reflected the talk. Haitanis Necalli was always optimized and advanced in character technology, but his play never shared the same spotlight as Tokido or even Momochi. That changed when his Necalli stood tall over every one of his opponents on Friday.Haitanis offensive patterns are unpredictable and only increases in potency upon v-trigger activation. This is the player to truly watch because hes due for a big-time win.Fujimura Yukadon AtsushiThe Evolution Fighting Game Championship top 8 finalist was an afterthought when Capcom Cup started. He was the second-best Nash in name and surprised everyone when he kept winning and advancing on Friday. Whether it was through a comeback or his ever-changing play style, he was impossible to crack over a five-game set.Yukadon is one of the few players who can switch his style on a whim; he can play in-your-face from the start and then immediately become a wall. His ability to come back in any game is also no small factor in his success.Keita Fuudo AiThe fighting game wizard entered the Capcom Cup as arguably the scariest opponent to pick up the stick. Fuudo has been on a break since his second-place finish at Evolution Fighting Game Championships and only played in five events this year. Fuudo was the pioneer behind the effective defensive and methodical style that most top Rainbow Mika players employ when using with the mix-up grappler.His strengths, many of which are among the top in the competitive scene, are numerous: anti-airs, ground game, defensive counter-attacks and patience. Despite his losers bracket status, he remains among the top threats to take the Capcom Cup.Goichi Go1 KishidaGo1 reminded everyone of all the hype that surrounded him when he first entered a Street Fighter V tournament. This was a player with ridiculous execution, a stubborn offensive-only mindset, and the best character in the game.The third Chun-Li player in the top 8 is an offensive madman. Hes constantly pushing the action, whether on the ground or the air and easily overwhelms opposing game plans. Go1s pace will be the only one that exists in the game when he plays.Ryan Kazunoko InoueThe 2015 Capcom Cup champion was lost in the Street Fighter V shuffle and emerged again when he destroyed his bracket en route to a top 8 berth. Kazunoko was the biggest oversight and wasnt even the best Cammy when the tournament started, but that all changed in a flash.Offense, reactions, hit-confirms, frenetic pace, and proficient reads are all the opponent needs to know about this dynamo.The final rounds of the Capcom Cup begin at 9 p.m. ET on streaming channels and will be broadcast on ESPN2 on Sunday at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Hard-core college football fans may not think they know anything about NASCAR. NASCAR fans can sometimes be a little sensitive when it comes to embracing stick-and-ball sports. But the reality is that no two big league sports are more interwoven than football and racing. And it is way more than just that they both wear helmets and have officials who throw yellow flags. So, leave it up to those of us who love both (and cover both) to use Saturday nights Battle at Bristol (Virginia Tech vs. Tennessee, 8 p.m. ET on ABC) as an opportunity to educate both sides on...um...both sides of the connection.Andy Papathanassiou: Known to most as Andy Papa, he played offensive guard at Stanford and shortly after graduation was introduced to NASCAR at the nearby Sonoma Raceway. In 1992 he was hired by Hendrick Motorsports (the Alabama Crimson Tide of racing) as the sports first-ever team pit-crew coordinator. Employing football-based physical training regimens and drills, Papa oversaw Jeff Gordons revolutionary Rainbow Warriors pit crew and dramatically shaved the time the car spent on pit road. As Gordon dominated the sport, rival teams who had initially laughed at Papas gridiron methods for changing tires started copying his ideas.Brian Piccolo: Bowman Gray Stadium, also known as The Madhouse is located in eastern Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It houses both a quarter-mile asphalt short track and a college football field, home of the Winston-Salem State Rams. The top floor of the fieldhouse is also home to WSSUs motorsports management school. The racetrack was co-opened by NASCAR founder Bill France Sr. in 1947 and has hosted NASCAR races since 1949, the longest run of any weekly track. That tally includes 29 Sprint Cup (then Grand National) Series races, won by legends such as Richard Petty, David Pearson and Bobby Allison. From 1956-67 it served as the home field for Wake Forest Demon Deacons football, including Brian Piccolo of Brians Song fame. In fall 1964, Junior Johnson won on the racetrack while Piccolo rushed for a then-stadium-record 140 yards vs. South Carolina.Cale Yarborough: Before he was a four-time Daytona 500 winner, the fire hydrant known as Cale Yarborough was a high school football star in Timmonsville, South Carolina, and earned a scholarship to play for Clemson. Upon arrival to his first training camp with the Tigers, Yarborough informed legendary coach Frank Howard that he needed to go back home in order to run one last race and secure his local short-track championship. (In a twist, that career began on Sumter, South Carolinas Gamecock Speedway.) Howard was having none of that. He told me if I went home to run that race to go on and pack all my stuff because I wasnt coming back to Clemson, Yarborough recalled last week at the Darlington Raceway. So I packed and left. He kept calling me after that. Finally, I said, I did what you told me to do, so now Im going to be a race car driver. He said, Son, youre gonna starve to death. Yarborough won 83 races, three Winston Cup championships and was elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2011.Daytona: When NASCAR founder and chairman Bill France Sr. built the Daytona International Speedway in 1959, he also envisioned hosting other nonmotorsports events at his new show palace. There have been four college games played on the grass that separates the front stretch from pit road, the grass that Daytona 500 viewers are used to seeing painted with big corporate logos during the Great American Race. Those games, hosted by the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats, were played in 1974-75. Ever since the speedway maintenance crews have referred to that area as the football field. Just this year Daytona unveiled a $400 million facilities makeover to become what track officials like to call the first NASCAR stadium. Track president and uber-promoter Joie Chitwood III (yes, of the Chitwood Thrill Show Chitwoods) has floated the idea of hosting a college game, or even inviting the Jacksonville Jaguars to bring a game down I-95.Everywhere: Daytona, Bowman-Gray and Bristol are certainly not alone when it comes to sharing college football and NASCAR. Buffalos War Memorial Stadium was home to Canisius College football, early Buffalo Bills teams and a quarter-mile dirt track that hosted one NASCAR Grand National race, won by Jim Reed in 1958. Chicagos Soldier Field hosted the College All-Star Game for more than four decades and was also home to a half-mile asphalt oval. On July 21, 1956, Hall of Famer Fireball Roberts won the only NASCAR event held at Soldier Field. Just three weeks later the NFL champion Cleveland Browns defeated the college stars, including West Virginia linebacker Sam Huff 26-0. In one of my favorite explanations ever, a NASCAR historian Greg Fielden said the Soldier Field track was removed in 1970 following protests by hippies.Fast cars and superstars: In June 2007 ABC aired a reality show where NASCAR stars coached celebrities to race in a time-trial competition at Charlotte Motor Speedway. John Elway, coached by 2004 Cup champ Kurt Busch, defeated a field that included Serena Williams and John Cena. On set, the real drama came when former NC State player/Steelers coach Bill Cowher wrecked not once, but twice.Gibbs: While he was still in the midst of his first stint as Washington Redskins head coach, lifelong gearhead Joe Gibbs became a NASCAR team owner in 1991. The following year he won the Daytona 500 with driver Dale Jarrett (who turned down a football scholarship to Gardner-Webb to be a racer), and in the quarter-century since, he has built a NASCAR empire, winning 138 Cup Series races and four Cup titles. His right-hand men at Joe Gibbs Racing have been his sons. J.D. Gibbs was a defensive back and quarterback at William & Mary from 1987-90 and also made 29 starts as a driver across three different NASCAR series. Coy Gibbs was an outstanding linebacker at Stanford, leading the team in tackles in 1994. Both sons have been longtime executives at JGR.Harbaugh: Back when he was still Captain Comeback, the then-Indianapolis Colts QB became co-owner of the Panther Racing IndyCar team, winners of two series championships and near-winners of the Indianapolis 500. In June he attended the Sprint Cup race at the Michigan International Speedway as a guest of Joe Gibbs and is a fan of 2012 Cup champ and Michigan native Brad Keselowski. The whole drivers arent athletes debate is a joke, the head Wolverine said earlier this year. Anyone who says that has never been to a race.Instant replay: Reviewable calls arent just a football thing. Over the last decade NASCAR has been very aggressive about integrating video cameras and replay capabilities to help Race Control keep an eye on all 40 cars, 300-plus crew members and every inch of their miles-plus-sized playing surfaces. The multicamera NASCAR replay system is so advanced it has largely replaced the former army of on-the-ground human officials. That system has attracted calls of interest from college officiating coordinators with tech questions as they push toward centralized officiating HQs to oversee game weekends.Josh Jones: Known to NASCAR fans on Twitter as Mother Function and for his epic practical joke duels with his boss, Jones is director of business development for KHI Management, the celebrity marketing agency owned by 2014 Sprint Cup camp Kevin
