21:40 CET: Frankfurt Major standings; main event lower brackets LGD vs Unknown.xiu
First game started with trades back and forth for about 20 minutes. LGD were then able to start pulling ahead with pick offs all over the map. They then started to gain control of the entire game and slowly started to chip away at objectives and net-worth advantages. Unknown seemed to be waiting and hoping for opportunities but were not able to catch anything and just fell apart, giving LGD the win.

Unknown went with a Huskar pick for the second game. Both teams seemed to lack any disables, making fights difficult for them both but LGD had full control of the game from the start. Unknown’s TA started to get out of control with damage and about 20 minutes into the game, giving Unknown a chance to take the lead, but then quickly lost it again to LGD. With a strong Shadow Fiend, map control with Spirit Breaker and a Phatom Lancer pushing, the Chinese team took the series.
