Semi Finals #1: Qntc.HyuN vs Azubu.Symbol
In our first series of the night, we have two of Korea’s best Zerg players in Symbol and HyuN duking it out. The first map was Polar Night and HyuN quickly showed his hand by opening with a 10 pool followed by a gas. Symbol opened as greedy as he possibly could and went for a 15 Hatch taking his Spawning Pool at a very late 17 supply. HyuN came knocking with his Lings and Banes and Symbol had no response. 1-0 to HyuN

NA Qualifiers
"Semi Finals #1: Acer.Scarlett vs coL.Qxc
The first game pitted Qxc vs. Scarlett on the map Yeonsu. Scarlett decided not to open with the standard hatchery first, but opted to go for fast zerglings to try and counter the potential command center first on the low ground by Qxc. Qxc held the initial aggression from Scarlett, and transitioned into a midgame pressure consisting of Cloaked Banshees and Hellions. Scarlett repelled the aggression with some outstanding Queen and Zergling play. The players transitioned into standard play both taking their third bases, and moving out on the map. Scarlett caught Qxc in the middle of the map and traded well against everything Qxc tried. Scarlett took a fourth base and continued to attack Qxc, and was able to land some crucial baneling hits. The baneling hits of Scarlett, hampered the amount of marines that Qxc had and allowed her Mutalisks to camp the production of Qxc. With his production camped and Scarlett taking the map, Qxc GGed and began to prepare for the second game.
