Two incredible players made it to the LB Round 5 but soon one will have to go home defeated, while the other will advance to the LB final!

In the first match for the night, Complexity's Naniwa triumphed over Dimaga with a 2-0 in an amazing PvZ. Naniwa orchestrated a very peculiar, yet incredibly technical rush on Shakuras Plateau, moving out with his sentries and zealots to pressure Dimaga's quick third. Although his army seemed trapped at first sight, Naniwa had a plan which was soon revealed. The Swede transitioned to double stargate and used void rays and zealots to attack the other two bases of Dimaga, drawing the zerg army back. He then swept down to kill the third hatchery while simultaneously getting a third nexus of his own. That gave Naniwa a crushing advantage over Dimaga and he made use of it perfectly in the mid-game, beating zerg's army repeatedly and destroying more and more hatcheries for the gg.

In the second set on Antiga, Dimaga claimed an early lead catching Nani's sentries in the middle of the map but threw that lead away later as he blindly overcommitted to a hydra attack and had his army mercilessly slaughtered by Nani's colossi for the 2-0.



Right after this match, SEn and SeleCT engaged in monstrously entertaining ZvT out of which SEn walked with a 2-1 victory. The Taiwanese "Zerg King" got the early lead after a bunker rush went really wrong for SeleCT, but was tied up on Shakuras. SeleCT played impeccably, establishing a stable position in the middle of the map, splitting the battlefield in half and basically starving SEn to death while dancing around the constant stream of infestors, ultras and brood lords.

The final set on Abyssal Caverns saw SEn recover masterfully after losing his early third to a bio attack to flat-out outmacro SeleCT in the late-game. The constant pressure by the Taiwanese did not allow Dignita's terran to take and hold a fourth for any amount of time so SeleCT had to eventually GG.



Thus, Naniwa and SEn will face each other in the LB Round 5 and the winner of the two will move further to face the loser from the Winners Bracket final between NesTea and MVP, which is scheduled to begin at 22:00 CET.
