nal drop-back passer FSU has faced this season, he might be the most accurate they have faced. He is second in the conference in

In 2006, Jun TY Tae Yang, formerly known as BaBy, became the youngest StarCraft: Brood War player to go pro. At the age of 15 and only three years into his professional career, he was hailed as a prodigy. During the early years of his debut, he had shown promise in both individual leagues and the Proleague, taking down impressive names (including high-profile players like Heo Jangbi Yeong Moo) despite his young age.In a poll conducted by OGN, coaches, players and pundits were asked which Terran rookie -- Park Mind Sung Gyoon, Lee Flash Young Ho or TY -- was likely to become a star. The majority chose Mind at 70 percent, TY garnered 17 percent of the votes and Flash was picked last.TY was a player with real potential with no weakness in any matchup. His style of aggressive multitask, mechanically heavy play was alluring and exciting. Add all of that to his young age with a decade more of play time and you could see why people hyped up TYs future. He had all the makings of a champion.And here we are, 10 years, one game and two expansions later, and TY has no title to show for it.His entire Brood War career amounted to one Round of 8 Korean OSL 2010. Going into StarCraft II, the story remained the same: He had no weak matchups. He was an exciting player and a great team player.But when it came to the individual leagues, hed always drop out again, and again and again. After playing SCII for two years, hed never gotten out of a group stage of a tournament in South Korea. The two international tournaments he attended didnt go much better. At DreamHack: Bucharest, he was one of the favorites but got upset by Jang MC Min Chul in the Round of 16. The same thing happened again at HomeStory Cup X, where he lost to Hwang Losira Kang Ho.In eight years of play, he had only two Ro8 appearances to show for it. For a worse player, perhaps this could be considered an OK result. For a player with his talent, skill, mechanics and potential, you cant help but look at this as a failure.This all finally changed in 2015.Its hard to say what changed about TY that year. Gameplay wise, it was the same. He was just more consistent at bringing it out, and he seemed to have a much better grasp of series play. It could have been the introduction of Ryu Won as coach of KT (multiple Global StarCraft II League champions have credited Ryu Won as having a large positive effect on their game).Whatever the case, TY broke the drought as he reached his second Ro8 placing in a South Korean tournament at GSL Season 1, five years after his OSL placing in 2010. By the end of the year, he reached the semifinals of StarCraft II StarLeague Season 3 and Intel Extreme Masters Shenzhen.And now, we get to 2016.This has been TYs best year of competitive play in the last decade. He has had the best results of any Terran player all year and has been widely considered either the best or second-best Terran playing in the world at any given moment. This was also the year of his first finals against teammate Joo Zest Sung Wook in the first season of GSL. And though he lost there, given the projection of his results and skill, it seemed inevitable that he would win at least one of the Star Leagues this year.And now is the time. There are four players who stand above the rest: Zest, TY, Park Dark Ryung Woo and Kim Stats Dae Yeob. Three have been eliminated. Now, theres no one left that should be able to stand between TY and the championship title he has been looking for all of this time. After 10 long years, this is the best chance TY will likely ever get to finally win a title.There are only two players left that have a shot at upsetting TY: Baek Dear Dong Jun, who has shown remarkable skill throughout 2016 and is set to play him in the Ro8, and Kim sOs Yoo Jin, who is on the other side of the bracket.Another exciting match is between sOs and Kim herO Joon Ho. This rivalry isnt traditional in any sense. Theyve only met a few times in Proleague and individual leagues, but the match between sOs and herO at the IEM World Championships in 2014 is one of the defining moments for both players. In that match, herO came in as the golden child of IEM. The triple IEM winner and the favorite to win the tournament. Everyones beloved champion.And then sOs proxy gated him. Twice.It was a no-holds-barred beatdown as sOs made herO look like a fool. It was doubly painful for herO, as it was a winner-take-all tournament and sOs left with the entire prize pool of $100,000 USD. It was even crueler as Protoss players across South Korea watched that finals and then went on to double proxy gate herO out of multiple significant matches the rest of his career. With so much history between them, that stands as the other must-watch match of the GSL Ro8.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- No. 12 Florida State has had dominating stretches of defense in wins over No. 16 Mississippi and South Florida.But the Seminoles have been defined more in the first four games by their lack of consistency and points allowed.Florida State (3-1, 0-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) has allowed 30 or more points in three games after being the only team in the country last season to not allow 25 or more in a regular-season game.Going into Saturdays game against North Carolina, the Seminoles are allowing 35 points per game. That puts them 108th out of 128 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in scoring defense.Coach Jimbo Fisher was happy with the units improvement in last Saturdays 55-35 win over South Florida.But with the next seven games in conference, including two against ranked opponents, Fisher needs his group to mature fast.Its really on us to make those plays, cornerback Marquez White said. You can go back and look at the film and see guys loafing or missing tackles or busting coverages, letting guys run free.When USFs Quinton Flowers connected with Rodney Adams on an 84-yard touchdown pass on the games first play, Fisher said cornerback Tavarus McFadden was in position and didnt make a play on the ball.McFadden leads the ACC in interceptions with three and is tied for third in passes defensed with five. But he has also given up his share of big passes.Theyre going to throw at him every game, White said. Hes getting better every week. Hes becoming more confident. Hes grown up a lot.Florida State has also allowed 14 plays of 30 yards or more, which is tied for third most in the country. No. 21 TCU (12) and top-ranked Alabama (10) are the only other ranked teams that have allowed 10 or more.The Seminoles have come out of the gates slowly and have trailed in all three games against FBS teams.In 11 first-quarter drives by No. 16 Mississippi, No. 3 Louisville and South Florida, the Seminnoles have allowed five touchdowns with three coming on the first drive.ddddddddddddSafety Marcus Lewis is hoping that last Saturdays stretch against USF, where Florida State forced eight three-and-outs in nine drives, carries over to the rest of the season.When we got those nine straight stops, everybody just did their job. Its that simple. We just feed off each other. Somebody makes play, next play somebody else makes a play, he said. Our biggest thing is winning first down. We win first down, thats huge for us.Florida State is among the national leaders in forcing 16 three-and-out series against FBS teams. A concern is on the 23 series where it has allowed a first down, the opponent has scored a touchdown on 18 of them.I feel like stats can be portrayed any way people want to make them, White said. But a lot of the plays, the big plays thats been given up, the plays are there. We just have to make the tackle, make those plays.While North Carolinas Mitch Trubisky is not a dual-threat quarterback and is the first conventional drop-back passer FSU has faced this season, he might be the most accurate they have faced. He is second in the conference in passing efficiency and tied for third in touchdowns with 10.After dropping their opener against Georgia, the Tar Heels have won three straight and are 1-0 in conference play.North Carolina coach Larry Fedora said the Seminoles run a similar defensive scheme to what they saw in the opener.After knowing what worked and what didnt in the Georgia game that will help us in our game plan, he said. They do have a lot of big guys that can run.---Online: The APs college football page: http://collegfootball.ap.org---Follow Joe on Twitter: www.twitter.com/joereedy and his work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/journalist/joe-reedy ' ' '
