Several weeks after leaving his previous organization, Team Liquid, top Super Smash Bros. for Wii U player Nairoby Nairo Quezada has joined multi-gaming organization NRG Esports. The deal with NRG comes after the team actively polled and communicated with the Smash community in search of a player to represent its organization.Nairo represents a big step forward for NRG into the fighting game arena, NRG chairman and Sacramento Kings co-owner Andy Miller tells ESPN.com. He is a carefully chosen first player that we feel will build the foundation for NRGs fighting game presence for years to come. He is an amazing competitor and a huge personality, so he should fit right in with the NRG family.Nairo initially left Team Liquid on Aug. 16 and instantly became one of the most desired free-agents in the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U market. Nairo says his desire to leave Liquid came after he felt that Liquid wasnt going in the direction that he thought his career should go.As I learned more about esports, I thought that maybe I could find a team that suited me as a player a bit better, Nairo told ESPN.com about ending his deal with Team Liquid. So after my contract ended, my manager sent out some notices to other organizations. We started by looking at teams who really functioned as one true unit, and not just as teams playing different games who wore the same banner. I wanted teammates.Over the past year and a half, hes had top eight finishes at some of the biggest tournaments in the world, and was responsible for ending Gonzalo ZeRo Barrioss 56-tournament winning streak last October. Nairo also has a popular stream on Twitch, something that is rare among top players.He says that NRG wasnt the only organization to approach him, and that he had something in the works with another team before NRG contacted him. While Nairo did not confirm which team, its been speculated by some of the communitys most prominent members that Nairo was set to join Luminosity Gaming.[Joining NRG] was half luck honestly, he says. I already had a deal in place. A contract was supposed to be sent over from another organization, but travel plans for the teams head had caused a few delays. In the end, there were three organizations I was really leaning towards. What sold me on NRG was the idea that theyre not looking to pick up a million players. They want to go into a few scenes, find people who they think have the passion to bring esports to the next level and put them into the same family.Nairo says that after joining NRG, he hopes to continue to improve and win more. He says that prior to his recent first place at major event Super Smash Con, his mentality was in the dumps. But that flipped when he won Super Smash Con:Winning that tournament became extremely important to me, he says. Immediately I started playing harder, thinking faster than my opponents again, and streaming with a better attitude. I feel more like myself, which might surprise all the people who will continue sleeping on me.Nairo is NRGs first fighting game player and will join the team after Miller actively went on both his personal and company Twitter, as well as in an interview with the Video Game Bang podcast, to seek insight from the community as to which free agents were worth signing. Amid his pursuit, Nairo became a free agent, with Miller and crew working out a deal with the player.Prior to expanding to Smash Bros., NRG founded League of Legends, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Overwatch teams; the squad purchased Team Coasts League Championship Series spot in Nov. 2015 for a reported $1.4 million, and acquired Counter-Strike and Overwatch teams through 2016.The team is best known for its line of investors, which include Sacramento Kings co-owners, former Apple iAD chief Miller and 24 Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov, as well as former Los Angeles Lakers and NBA Hall of Fame center Shaquille ONeal, former New York Yankees shortstop Alex Rodriguez, and former Chicago White Sox shortstop Jimmy Rollins.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants are so short of players in the secondary that rookie coach Ben McAdoo had to have a couple of his receivers play safety in practice.McAdoo would not identify the guys who got shifted on Thursday nor would he say whether any of them might be used Monday night when the Giants (2-1) face the Vikings (3-0) on the road.Who knows? Imagine Odell Backham Jr. back there! He did it in the Pro Bowl.The truth is the Giants need some bodies in the secondary, and its not just safety. They are hurting at cornerback, too.Lets start at safety. Rookie starter Darian Thompson missed last weekends game with a foot injury. He is still wearing a boot. His backup, Nat Berhe, is in the concussion protocol after being hurt this past week against the Redskins.Second-year safety Mykkele Thompson went on injured reserve on Sept. 20 with a knee injury.That leaves starter Landon Collins, Andrew Adams, who was signed off the practice squad late last week, and veteran cornerback Leon Hall, who has shifted to the back line.Janoris Jenkins is the only healthy starting cornerback. Dominique Rodgers Cromartie (groin) and first-round draft pick Eli Apple (hamstring) had to leave Sundays game. They did not practice on Thursday although they worked outside with the teams trainers.If neither cant go, veteran backup Trevin Wade and rookie Michael Hunter are next up.The only good thing for the Giants is that the Vikings are 31st in the league in offense and 28th in passing.The plan is the faces change but the expectations remain the same, McAdoo said when asked about who would start with Collins at safety.Adams would seem to be next in line, but he has very little experience. Hall is a nine-year veteran who says he could make the adjustment.Beckham would not mind a crack at safety.I wouldnt mind hitting someone, said Beckham, who has gotten his fair share of fines for illegal hits as a receiver. Theres a lot less rules when youre on defense. They expect the defense to be the aggressor. I think as an offensive player, when you come out here and are very aggressive its a little different from what they usually see.Collins, who started all 16 games as a rookie last season, never worked with Adams in training camp.ddddddddddddAdams was at the lower end of the depth chart and was among the final cuts. He was signed to the practice squad and was elevated to the roster last week with the injuries to both Thompsons.Collins said that he, Adams, and Hall need a crash course on communicating.He is agile, he is quick, he is fast, Collins said of Adams. He knows what he is doing and he is assertive.Adams had an unsettling NFL debut. He was called for a fourth-quarter unnecessary roughness penalty that wiped out a punt block that would have given New York the ball at the Washington 18, trailing 26-24.In the days after the game, Adams wondered whether the mistake would cost him. Not only did he stay, he now has a chance to start.Im just grateful for the opportunity and I am going to make the best out of it, he said. Thats what I have been waiting for. This is what you play football for. I didnt come here to watch. Im here to play. Thats my mentality.Hall just as easily could play opposite Collins.Being next to him, of course, he is going to know what he needs to be doing because he has played the game for so many years and he knows exactly what he has done, Collins said.Apple, who got his first start last week, said he felt better than the day before. He said he jogged a little, but refused to say he felt good.Rodgers-Cromartie, who has never had a groin injury, insisted on Wednesday that he would play on Monday night.Wade, who played in all 16 games last season with three starts, is ready to step in.You just have to be ready and make the most of the opportunity, Wade said.Game notes RB Rashad Jennings (hand) was limited at practice. He missed last weeks game. ... DE Olivier Vernon (wrist) was a full-go at practice. ... OT Marshall Newhouse (calf) did not practice. ... McAdoo on the Vikings new U.S. Bank Stadium: Its going to be loud. Im sure its not going to be much louder than the Metrodome. ...
