WR4 SC2 at IPL5: XiGua vs. Leenock Recap

Game 1 on Daybreak

Both players open similarly with hatch first, however, Leenock puts down a baneling nest in his main. Leenock morphs a massive amount of banelings outside of XiGua's natural. He successfully busts XiGua's worker line, taking out drones and XiGua's baneling nest.

XiGua falls further and further behind as he is unable to make units or drones due to Leenock's relentless aggression of zerglings and banelings. The Chinese player cannot recover and he gg's.

Game 2 on Ohana

Leenock opens up with a 15-hatch, whereas XiGua opts for a 15-pool. Leenock goes for an all-in by building lots of zerglings. XiGua lacks the defenses to deal with the sheer amount of zerglings streaming into his base -- his queen is out of position and he only has two banelings.

Leenock takes out the natural and forces his way into the main, taking out more queens and workers. XiGua is concedes the very short game, dropping to the Loser Bracket. Leenock moves on to face winner of Crank vs. TheSTC.

Match Score: Leenock 2 - 0 XiGua
