At 1:15 a.m., the first game of the semifinals, the match between [Hell Front] and [Red Sakura] came to an end.

As a result, the front line of hell fought another complete victory with no one killed.

So far, [Hell Front], a team composed entirely of non-professional players, has become the first team to officially enter the finalists.

And...... In the process of their advancement, they have never been killed by the enemy, and the only time they have been killed...... Or cannibalism.

With such strength, it seems that they have become the favorites to win the championship.

…………

Next, it's a three-minute break.

The "three minutes" refer to the three minutes in the real world.

In the game world, the next thirty minutes are rests.

Even in sleep mode, the audience will get tired after watching more than 10 hours of the game, so there is no need to rush to the second game.

This kind of moment...... Dotted advertising or something is the right way.

In addition, the official host of Dream Company (this round of the game is also narrated because it is time-sharing, and viewers watching the live broadcast can choose whether to accept the audio of the commentary) also took advantage of this time to summarize the situation of the first game.

What are they talking about...... Basically, it is also some content for grassroots audiences, which is nothing more than the strength of the members of the two teams, on-the-spot performance, and strategic deployment.

Of course, they couldn't have said anything deep, and if they had to say it in great detail, they would probably reveal the information of those two teams.

After about fifteen minutes of idle talk, the online director felt that it was almost over, and then sent a signal to the hosts.

As a result, the host team stopped talking about the first game and started the pre-match prediction for the second game - [Scrap Wood Alliance] vs. [Jianghu].

The semi-finals are full of highlights. This one is no exception......

First of all, Jianghu is a well-known studio, and it can be called the leader among medium-sized studios. Their reputation, reputation, individual strength of players, etc., are all very good; Many people in the industry believe in ...... If their company were as big as the order or the gods, then the current situation of "two powers" might become a "three-legged stand".

And in this game, the performance of the [Jianghu] team is also remarkable. In addition to the long-famous "Sword Laughter" combination in the team, there are also two sister and brother combinations of [Don't Be Afraid] and [Bu Tiange]; Of these two, the former has only recently turned professional, while the latter has the aura of "former star player...... They all proved with their records in S2 that they have the strength to be among the top tiers.

Let's look at the [Scrap Wood Alliance] side again.

Although the team doesn't have a studio background, all four of their main team members are professional gamers who play the game on their own behalf. And all of them are recognized as top players in S1 and even earlier.

The word "alliance" well reflects the form and spirit of this team.

And their path to advancement is, to some extent, very similar to that of the Hell frontline...... Most of the time it's a complete victory, and it always feels like it's at ease.

To sum up, it is really difficult to say who will win and who will lose in the clash between these two teams......

…………

At 1:19 a.m., the second semi-final officially began.

The script that the two teams randomly came to was a place called "Moving Maze".

The labyrinth is constantly changing. And...... The labyrinth is filled with all kinds of powerful monsters.

In addition, there are two NPC forces from different factions operating in the labyrinth, and they are obviously important players enough to influence the outcome of the battle.

In terms of personnel...... the lineup of the [Waste Wood Alliance] is untouchable, and [Uncle Waste Wood], [Honghu], [Shadow King], and [Tired Dream] are responsible for playing the game. 【畀老wet 】Responsible for making soy sauce.

However, the arrangement of troops on the side of [Jianghu] was a bit unexpected, they sent [No Swordman] [Crazy Trace Sword Shadow] [Don't Be Afraid] [Bu Tiange] to participate in the battle, but let [Smile and Ask Cangtian], who was ranked highest in the personal strength list (in terms of the team) and held the position of "captain", be a substitute.

Outsiders can't understand this situation. But the top brass of the rivers and lakes know it...... This is the meaning of [Smile and ask the sky] himself.

As mentioned above, Jianghu is a studio established by the three people of "Sword Laughter", and they are not only online players. It is also a real company operator.

Unlike the rich and wealthy "Ice Emperor", these three don't have any rich fathers to "invest", they are standard self-made...... Under this premise, it is obviously unrealistic to "spend money on someone" to manage the company for yourself.

In the early days of the studio, the three of them did the work of 18 people, from the CEO to the cleaners, and they all did it, and then they slowly got through......

Today, Jianghu's business is getting bigger and bigger, and although they no longer need to clean and buy lunch boxes on their own, they are gradually realizing it...... It's time to put an end to the days of juggling both gaming and operations.

Don't look at the gods [Shiva] is also a man who combines the identity of the studio owner and the player, but the identity of the person is the "chairman...... Except for some major decisions, most of the other day-to-day affairs can be entrusted to the subordinates.

But the situation is different in the rivers and lakes, and they are now at a turning point...... If they want to scale the company further, they have to make a decision......

So, [Smile and ask the sky] made his choice.

His plan was...... First "fade out", then "retire", and then, put all the focus of work on the level of the company's operation, and strive to make Jianghu a first-line big studio within a year. When everything is on the track, should I "make a comeback" as a contestant and then think about it......

Of course, he knew it well...... In the e-sports industry, there are basically very few players who have successfully "made a comeback"; This is especially true for those that require physical strength and momentary reflexes...... As long as the player is over the age of twenty-five, the overall state will start to decline, and then stop the systematic training for a period of time, and the state will never come back.

Smiled and asked Cangtian to think about it...... Instead of letting fans lament that Lian is quite old and sigh for the decline in the player's state, it is better to retreat bravely when the state is still acceptable.

In this S2 competition, I smiled and asked Cangtian that I didn't want to participate; But he wants to help the newcomers and make sure they can go far in the game...... Or take the time. Participated in a number of preliminaries.

Now that the team has reached the semi-finals, he feels that the time has come.

Even if this one wins, there is only one game left to play, so I will simply not play this one with a smile.

Win or lose, let's let the two rising stars, Don't Afraid and Xiaobu, accumulate some more experience in the competition. Later...... There may be many more occasions to deal with.

…………

At 2:40 a.m., after "thirteen and a half hours" of playtime, the results of the second semi-final game were announced.

this game. It ended with the victory of the [Scrap Wood Alliance].

Although it took a little longer than the first game, the process of the game was not a stalemate.

Honghu's calculations have borrowed quite a favorable "momentum" for the Scrapwood Alliance, and the reconnaissance ability of the summoned creatures of the Shadow King is also inexplicable.

As a result, they have always held the intelligence and strategic initiative from the hour after the start of the game......

The players of [Jianghu] have been in a state of exhaustion.

It stands to reason...... In this situation, the slightest carelessness will lead to attrition or even annihilation, but the rivers and lakes still rely on strong strength...... Stubbornly supported for more than ten hours.

Can be finally ...... The Scrapwood Alliance still won without exerting its bottom line.

Enigmatic strength, enigmatic limits. Same as the Hellfront Front...... Another team with a non-studio background made it to the finals.

…………

Or a three-minute break.

Advertisers are waiting too much......

The hosts are also very busy, and the players are resting, and they can't rest (during the game. The host has a lot of opportunities to take a break, after all, not every minute has content to talk about), and the analysis and explanation between the sessions is indispensable.

Although [Jianghu] lost, and lost quite miserably. But the host and the audience still spoke highly of them, and the two newcomers in the Jianghu team who were just emerging were also highly praised.

The result of this match also proves that sometimes ...... "lose badly". It is not the same as "losing ugly", there may be a gap with the opponent in terms of strength, but as long as you try to do your best within your ability, you can win respect even if you lose.

As for the [Scrap Wood Alliance], the hosts also gave a lot of praise, and under the instruction of the director, they have begun to consciously compare this team with the [Hell Front] that finished the game before......

…………

At 2:44 a.m., the third semifinal began.

[Sengoku] VS [Mountains and Rivers].

Before the game, the prediction for this match could be described as one-sided...... Even the official hosts, who are supposed to maintain an objective and neutral attitude, have revealed a message between their words - [Mountains and rivers] may be dangerous.

Indeed, [Mountains and Rivers] is also a very powerful studio, ...... by Pikachu Oh no...... Led by [Qiu Fengse] and vice captain of [Matcha Crisp], it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "the strongest in history".

But...... After watching the last rematch, even Sunward's analysis team thinks that ...... If you want to defeat [Sengoku], the chances are very slim.

The analysis of the individual strength of the [Warring States] team members is not optimistic, put away the prejudice elements for foreign studios, and analyze it objectively...... The strength of the Sengoku First Team is like that of the gods and order.

Before reaching the semi-finals, although their strength was also affirmed by many parties, due to various reasons...... They are still underestimated.

It wasn't until [Sengoku] stood in front of the threshold of the finals that people seemed to realize it in hindsight...... Their captain knocked out the previous champions in a one-on-one hand; The whole process of their promotion is to cut through the chaos with a quick knife and break through the tricks with strength; So far, their players have never lost in heads-up.

The reason why the first team of the [Warring States] studio failed to rank in the top ten in the preliminaries was not because they were not strong enough, but simply because they had an almost "nobody" attitude in terms of strategy. Most of the time, they don't think about borrowing "momentum" at all, so they ...... in many games They all won against the strength of both the enemy team members and the NPCs.

But in the rematch stage, their style has changed slightly, although only "slightly", but they have indeed become cautious...... At least no longer ignoring the power of NPCs or rushing into obvious traps.

In order to defeat such a [Warring States], what [Mountains and Rivers] need is a miracle......

…………

At 2:52 a.m., the miracle did not occur.

This was the end of an "eighty minutes" match.

Qiu Fengse did his best, and only half an hour after the start of the script, he successfully won the full support of the NPC forces. Next, he used 100,000 volts...... Oh no...... I mean he mobilized 100,000 soldiers and horses (script forces, armed with cold weapons) to encircle and suppress the four of the enemy's team.

As a result, he found that everyone in the Sengoku team ...... All have very rich experience in "mowing the lawn".

Each person kills an average of 32 enemies per minute, and 1,000 people can be killed in 3 minutes, and 4,000 people are killed......

At this rate, 100,000 troops can only carry it for less than an hour and a half.

Thankfully...... The 100,000 NPCs weren't stupid, and after seven or eight minutes, when they found out that the troop losses had exceeded 10,000, and the enemy didn't show any signs of fatigue...... I decided to run away.

Otherwise...... The audience really had to watch the nearly one-and-a-half-hour mowing of the lawn......

As a result, the "potential" borrowed by the mountains and rivers was wiped out by the "force" of the other party.

Seeing this, Matcha Crisp used the hole card that she wanted to use in the final and could only be played once—she used S-rank equipment to specialize in a Gundam.

However, the four Sengoku used their swords to dismantle the Gundam ......

At this point, the suspense of this game has been lost.

…………

In this way, the dust has settled on the three matches, and the three finalists have been decided.

The final matchup will determine the final spot.

And the two sides of this game...... It is also enough to bear the heavy responsibility of the finale.

[Order] VS [Gods].

The four words "Peak Competition" are the best interpretation of this victory and defeat.

However...... Just when people's blood was boiling, Dream Company suddenly poured a basin of cold water.

[Important Notice: Attention players, please pay attention to players...... In order not to affect the normal life of the players during the day, our department has negotiated with the members of the two teams and decided that the fourth semi-final, the match of "Gods VS Order", will be postponed until 0:00 tomorrow, and today's game will end here. (To be continued......)
