In a very intense and long set following the matchup between Samsung Galaxy Blue and Jin Air Falcons where we saw some innovative play, NJWS and Xenics Storm played an all-out BO2 brawl.

OGN kicked off the games with a match between Jin Air Falcons and Samsung Galaxy Blue, with some innovation coming out from the side of Jin Air Falcons.  The Falcons decided to roll with a Zilean support which didn't work out for them quite as well as expected.  Unfortunately, the first match didn't go as JinAir Falcons might have hoped.  However, in game two Jin Air Falcons showed fairly convincing play before dropping 0--2 to Samsung Galaxy Blue.

The real highlight of the night was the next set, which featured two very powerful games.  Both games were quite close and highlighted similar weaknesses in both teams.  Najin White Shield really showed their vulnerability in the laning phase, but had far superior rotations which resulted in their victory.

The second game was a 65 minute plus hallmark, almost breathing the point of breaking a record.  Xenics Storm had a superior team composition for late game, even though they also took control of early game.  Somehow, Najin White Shield were able to pull through in several moments of clutch play, back and forth action, and even attempted base races.  For this reason, we have chosen the game as a rated replay in our VOD section, so make sure not to miss it if you have an OGN subscription.
