Melbourne Victory arent sure whether other A-League clubs can afford to sign high-profile players to rival Melbourne Citys acquisition of Tim Cahill. Mike Fink .Football Federation Australia knocked back Victory as the A-League heavyweights sought to use the same guest player pot of funding on Italian international Alessandro Diamanti.Diamanti, 33, represented Italy at Euro 2012, scoring the winning penalty to knock out England, but was deemed not high-profile enough to access FFA funding.We were willing to progress conversations and we got to that stage with the player, Muscat said on Tuesday.Its very disappointing because hes a very talented footballer.His next club will be in a major league, so that tells you that hes still at his peak in terms of his football ability.Muscat said he didnt believe another club in Australia would be able to access the guest-player pot if they needed to pay weekly wages upward of $75,000.For someone to fit the criteria as were reading, its going to cost between $4-6 million and probably even more, he said.Do clubs in Australia have that sort of capacity to spend? I dont think so.Even though Cahill has signed for Victorys cross-town rivals, Muscat is able to see the benefits the Socceroo forward can bring to the competition.Ive always said hes still got a lot to offer in terms of football, Muscat said.I want to see good players in the league. I prefer them to be at our club, but I want to see good players in the competition.Victory have brought in Socceroo forward James Troisi under the salary cap in their biggest transfer of the off-season.Muscat said he would continue his search to add to the squad, but only for the right player.Victory have been linked with a move for New Zealand international Marco Rojas, who has been released from his contract with German club Stuttgart.The 24-year-old won the Johnny Warren Medal as the leagues best player in 2013 when last in Victory colours.Victory face Hume City in the FFA Cup on Wednesday night in a replay of the 2015 semi-final and a homecoming for Jai Ingham, who signed for Victory after playing them last year.Troisi has been cleared to play, while Carl Valeri is likely to miss after having his tonsils removed. Jermaine Whitehead .C. Lions has come to an end. Banks told TSN on Jan 2 that he had no interest in playing out the option year of his contract with the Lions in 2014, and he again made that clear in a conversation with Lions GM Wally Buono last week.

SK Telecom T1 took down the ROX Tigers 3-2 in one of the most anticipated matchups of the League of Legends World Championship.The pairing of the defending Worlds champion SKT against the No. 1-ranked team in the world, ROX Tigers, went the full distance and absolutely lived up to the hype. It was a strategic drafting masterclass and a beautiful display of adjustments from lane phase to mid game.SKT showed off its impressive champion selection depth and fundamentals to take down the ROX Tigers. Lee Faker Sang-hyeok was solid throughout the set on Orianna and Viktor. He never amazed, but his itemization and strong laning throughout the entirety of the set was the rock anchoring SKTs attack. The versatility came in the form of the best player at Worlds, Bae Bang Jun-sik. The AD carry was excellent on Jhin and Ashe but lackluster on his Caitlyn and Ezreal. Despite the up-and-down performances, Bang was still a matchup nightmare and outputted enough damage to really make a difference. Perhaps the best contribution from Bang was his fearless drive to initiate fights or dive for the important kill. The difference between Bang and his counterpart, Kim PraY Jong--in, was his aggression, and it paid off for SKTs overall teamfight. Justin Canale. The X factor for SKT was its revolving lineup at jungle. Both Bae benji Seong-ung and Kang Blank Sun-gu played differently enough to confuse the opposition. Whether it was stronger lane presence from bengi or team fight from Blank, the team benefited from the multiple approaches.The ROX Tigers suffered from the inconsistent performances of the teams core members -- Song Smeb Kyung-ho, Lee kur0 Seo-haeng and PraY. Despite the individual strengths of its members, the team could never put together strong stretches of League of Legends. Each of the members made individual outplays but could not break through the fundamentals of their fellow South Korean opposition. On paper, ROX Tigers were stronger in the lane matchups, with Smeb as a winning lane and a tie in the bottom, but it never really came to fruition.SKT will advance to the finals at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Oct. 29 against the winner of tomorrows match between Samsung Galaxy and H2k.
