The Arai Cup afternoon match is divided into two stages, namely the quarterfinals and the semifinals.

With the Jiangda E-sports led by Zhang Yayu successfully advanced to the semi-finals, the quarter-finals stage of the competition will be over, the game will be suspended for a period of time, leaving the players to rest, and the performance team invited by the mall can also be invited to the stage to give a wonderful performance, alleviate the visual fatigue of some spectators, and also to attract more audiences.

The break lasts for an hour, and after an hour, the final stage of the afternoon schedule will be played, which is the first half of the semi-finals.

As mentioned before, the rules of the Arai Cup and the University League are very similar, both of which use the BO1 single-elimination system before the semi-finals, and the BO3 double-elimination system will be held after the semi-finals, so that the final top three can be determined relatively fairly, and each team will be rewarded with the final ranking.

In other words, the afternoon schedule will determine the winners and losers of the top four, and the final ranking of the top four teams will be a puzzle that will not be revealed until the end of all the matches in the evening.

Taking advantage of the break, Ning Yu ran to find Tang Tang. He thought that Tang Tang had been guarding them for so long, so he felt quite guilty in his heart, and wanted to accompany Tang Tang to go to the mall casually.

However, there was no Tang Tang on the second floor, and there was no Tang Tang in the atrium on the first floor, and even Brother Xiaopang and Wang Xiaoming didn't know where they went, and they didn't know where they went.

Ning Yu took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call to Tang Tang, when he suddenly saw Tang Tang squeezing over from the crowd in front of him, carrying two cups of milk tea in each hand, and they were both hot, and they looked delicious.

"You're going to buy milk tea?" Ning Yu was slightly stunned, and suddenly thought of the smile that loved milk tea in the memories of the past. He shook his head vigorously, as if he thought he would throw the girl out of his head.

Tang Tang had already walked in front of Ning Yu at this time, blinking his big eyes and asking with concern, "What's wrong with you?" Is it uncomfortable, or don't want to drink milk tea? Why did you shake your head so much just now? ”

Ning Yu reacted quite quickly, pretending to smile lightly and said, "Liuhai is blocking your eyes, it's okay." Did you go buy milk tea? What about Little Fat Brother and Wang Xiaoming? ”

"In the back......" Tang Tang glanced back at him, his face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed: "It's over, they are lost." ”

Ning Yu was amused by Tang Tang's cuteness: "How adult, how can you lose it?" There are too many people, and they may be crowded. It's okay, don't worry about the two big boys. As for the little fat brother's sideways face and face like a butcher, no one dares to provoke him. ”

Tang Tang shook his head and said hurriedly: "No, there is still milk tea in their hands." I brought them to Yayu too. ”

"Okay, I'll give him a call and ask."

The sound of "beep" rang for a long time and didn't answer, but Ning Yu didn't give up, and continued to dial the little fat brother, and finally paid off his efforts and finally got through the phone.

"Xiao Yuzi, brother can't stand you, I lost your daughter-in-law to you." As soon as the call was connected, Ning Yu heard the voice of the little fat brother who deliberately pretended to cry, leaving him speechless on the spot.

Is this a good discussion between Brother Chubby and Tang Tang, does it mean that they deliberately lose each other because they dislike each other?

Because the mall was so noisy, there were so many people that the front chest squeezed the back, and the intermission was long enough, so after Ning Yu and the others converged, they found Zhang Yayu, and everyone came to the spacious pedestrian street to rest and recuperate.

The afternoon sun is very gentle, not dazzling, just shining, it makes people feel comfortable.

There are many more people on the pedestrian street than in the morning, and the shops along the street are full of people coming and going, forming a colorful tide that swings from the street to the end of the street and back to the street, fully expressing the lively scene of Jiangbei City, which is an internationally renowned metropolis.

Ning Yu and the others were chatting, and suddenly Ning Yu saw a group of boys coming out of the shopping mall opposite, playing and playing while walking.

Originally, it was normal to see people wandering around in groups on the pedestrian street, but one of those people caught his attention.

Ning Yu's originally smiling facial expression suddenly became very stiff, his fists were clenched, and the anger that could not be extinguished burned in his heart.

How could it be them? Aren't they supposed to be preparing for the playoffs in the magic capital, how could they be on the streets of Jiangbei City at such a time? This is so counterintuitive.

That's right! The Arai Cup says that there are two professional teams playing exhibition games at night, could it be them?

Noticing the change in Ning Yu's expression, the rest of the people were a little puzzled, and they all looked in the direction that Ning Yu was looking at.

"What's wrong?" The little fat brother leaned next to Ning Yu and asked in a low voice, "Is it the enemy?" There are a lot of us, do you want to take revenge? ”

Enemies? I guess so!

In the memory that Ning Yu didn't want to recall the most in high school, that person was an absolute villain, and what that person did and said made Ning Yu unforgettable!

"Huh? Isn't that Team NS and Team DA? Zhang Yayu recognized the identities of those people and was a little surprised, but she quickly reacted as well, those two teams were the two professional teams that came to support the Arai Cup to do the exhibition match today.

Team NS, also known as the Song of the Nightingale, entered the lower bracket of the playoffs as the third in the group in this year's KPL Pro League. Although it is the lower bracket, it is very strong. After all, there is a popular saying in professional esports circles: "There are no weak teams in the KPL." "NS's jungler Qiu Dong can be regarded as the star of the team, and his popularity is very high.

The full name of the DA team is Dark Angle, also known as the Dark Angel, and it is also a well-known team in the KPL, although this year's KPL Autumn Tournament failed to enter the playoffs and was only relegated, but the strength is also very strong, after all, the KPL itself is the top professional league of the Glory of Kings, and the team that can enter the regular season is equivalent to standing at the top of this circle.

After Zhang Yayu recognized the identities of those people, she became even more curious about Ning Yu's performance. It is said that a group of people who are so high up have no reason to have any intersection with Ning Yu, why did Ning Yu see them as if he had seen a great enemy.

Under the concern and questioning of the crowd, Ning Yu's heart gradually regained his calm, and he finally took his eyes off the person's face.

"I'm fine, I just saw the people from the two professional teams, and I was a little nervous." Ning Yu pretended to be relaxed and said.

Chang Junyu smiled disdainfully and said: "What's there to be nervous about, are they all people with a head, two arms and two legs, nothing remarkable?" Let's go to the KPL and blow them up. ”

That's what a breath of excitement! Ning Yu felt a little more comfortable.

"Yes, nothing remarkable. It's almost time, so let's go back to the game. After Ning Yu finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the Arai Department Store.

Tang Tang and the others looked at the people from the two professional teams, and then looked at Ning Yu, and then they set off and followed Ning Yu into the door of Arai Department Store.

Qiu Dong, who was joking with his friends not far away, seemed to feel that someone was looking at him, so he turned his head to look at Ning Yu, and saw Ning Yu who glanced back before walking into the Arai Department Store, and the two looked at each other for a short time.

"What, did you meet an acquaintance?" Someone asked.

Qiu Dong smiled faintly, raised his eyebrows and said, "No, I just saw a mad dog." ”

Maybe it's because women are naturally very sensitive, Tang Tang and Zhang Yayu both saw that something was not quite right with Ning Yu, maybe it wasn't as simple as the "nervousness" he said. But after all, it's not good to ask too much on the current occasion, so the two of them didn't ask Ning Yu anything, just thinking about waiting for today's game to be over and find a time to have a good chat with Ning Yu.

Although the half-time break in the afternoon was an hour, it sounded like a long time, but it passed very quickly. Soon, the first half of the semi-finals began.

Depending on the group, the first team to play is the favourites TK and another semi-finalist team.

"I just noticed that there is a woman in the TK team, and she is quite good-looking." The little fat brother muttered with a smile.

Tang Tang on the side pretended not to hear it, while Wang Xiaoming secretly cast a contemptuous look at the little fat brother.

Luo Tian, who was being watched by the little fat brother, seemed to be very afraid of the cold, and covered himself tightly from head to toe. Perhaps in order to ensure the best condition, or perhaps the enthusiasm of the audience raised the temperature in the mall, she took off her scarf after she went on stage, and only then did she take out her hands that had been stuffed into the pockets of her cotton clothes.

After taking their seats, the two sides entered the BP link, and the first game of the TK team was on the blue side, and the first Ban first was selected.

"The mid-laner on the opposite side seems to be very strong, how can we play this game?" Someone asked Luo Tian.

Before Luo Tian could answer, Shi Langka had already laughed and said: "In this level of competition, what is there to study, what do they do, how should we fight." Just give me three minutes to develop and I'll take care of ......"

"Take the fly." The rest of the TK team members answered in unison.

Luo leaned and glanced at the five opponents sitting opposite him expressionlessly, and said lightly: "Give them a dismount first, and strive for a quick victory in the first game." ”

In the BO3 game, both sides must have a certain amount of research on the opponent in the first game, whether it is to ban the hero or choose the hero, there must be a plan in advance. And the second game, and the third game that may or may not exist, depends entirely on the judgment of both sides.

This means that the first game is very important, as long as they can win this first game, TK will be able to reach the match point early, put huge pressure on the opponent, and their own side can be more proactive. If they can really do a quick game, it will be equivalent to a chance to break the opponent's mentality in this game, and then easily win the whole round and enter the upper bracket.

Luo Qiu has paid attention to the opponent's previous games and knows that the strength of the opposite mid laner is very strong, but in the regular game, individual strength does not determine anything, it all depends on the linkage of the whole team, operation tactics, and tacit understanding. At this point, she has absolute confidence in her teammates.

Hourglass: "The TK team actually snatched Jiang Ziya first in this game, this is about to play in the early stage." As can already be seen from the previous games, the TK team's fourth jungler is very aggressive and has a very accurate grasp of the rhythm of the game. Their game against Jiang Ziya in this game means that the fourth will reach the fourth level earlier. Their opponents are going to be very uncomfortable! ”
