Although Hu Xiaopeng took the lead for WIN in the first singles match, and his singles winning streak has set a staggering 42 matches, his victory alone does not mean everything.

Because in all the singles matches in the first round of semifinals, except for Hu Xiaopeng, the remaining three singles matches all ended with the defeat of WIN, and even Xiong Tianci was defeated by Meng Jialun with a slight disadvantage.

In the four singles matches, WIN only scored two points, and it stands to reason that the final team match was WIN's only chance to turn the tables, and everyone knows the importance of this team match.

But I don't know if it's because of the away battle, or because Bingfeng's side has been "carried away" by the high bonus after the victory, WIN, who was originally going all out to face the game, looked so vulnerable in front of Bingfeng Club.

Even though Cai Wenxiang didn't get the chance to play because he lost a single match in this team match, it didn't affect the offensive desire of the five players on Bingfeng's side at all, and I saw that all five of them were crazy, and they launched countless brainless attacks on WIN's team one after another from the beginning.

The attack without formation and coordination is as if the players on the WIN side are not their opponents, but the prey that is quietly waiting for them to harvest.

Under such a chaotic onslaught, although WIN adjusted his tactics in time, constantly used the mobility advantages of their respective IAs to delay, and began to focus on attacking the weaker players in the opponent's camp, but the final result was that they could not escape the fate of being eaten away and eliminated one by one.

Even when the game was only halfway through the game time, there were only two people left on the WIN side, Hu Xiaopeng and Bao Buping.

Including Xiong Tianci and Wu Long, as well as Bai Zhanpeng, who was the first to be eliminated, all three of them were eliminated by Bingfeng's players in various ways.

This is the so-called punching the master to death?

Maybe that's really the case, because in the face of the Bingfeng Club that is still entangled, and in the face of the disadvantage of two to five, although Hu Xiaopeng and Bao Buping want to continue to drag out the battle with their mechanical abilities and hidden means, hoping to wait for the opportunity to turn the tables.

However, with the advantage of the battlefield, Bing Feng, who had been constantly attacking before, was not carried away by the victory, only to see that they suddenly turned from attack to defense under the command of You Xiaorong in the late stage of the game, even though Bing Feng's players may have a lot of complaints within themselves, but the final victory is still firmly in the hands of the Ice Maple Club.

Soon, the first semi-final ended, and WIN was swept with a score of 2:11.

After all, even if the second semi-final will be held in Beiling City, where WIN is home, there seems to be only one way to win, that is, to win the Bingfeng Club.

In other words, WIN will only advance to the final with an aggregate score of 15:11 if WIN scores all 13 points in the second semi-final.

Otherwise, the two sides will be tied with 13 points each, and then the final spot will only be determined through the KOF overtime that no club wants to meet.

KOF overtime, this kind of competition system is not very new, because whether it is other competitive games or IA simulation games, in fact, similar formats and competitions have existed for a long time.

And the process of the game is nothing more than the two teams of players take turns to play, the first to eliminate the first to leave the field after defeat, and the other partners of the same team to play again, until a certain team has no one to fight, so as to divide the final winner.

However, it is this exciting and unpredictable competitive format that has been sought after by many fans, and many years ago the IA League wanted to add similar events to the professional leagues, but in the end it was opposed by almost all professional clubs and players.

As for the reason for the opposition, it is also very simple, that is, such a format is too cruel, not to mention that such a system is bound to be under the high-pressure system of unlimited time, and even if it can set a time limit for the game, then the investment of any one club is impossible to estimate.

Because except for the player who has the last laugh, no matter how many players take turns before, they are likely to face the fate of being eliminated by their opponents.

It's a lose-lose format, as even the winner will face the fact that multiple IAs on the same team will be damaged and eliminated, so in this case, it's no wonder that both players and clubs will resist this brutal format.

After all, IA competition is not a child's play, let alone a competitive game that can be restarted and restarted, all clubs must consider the cost of repairing IA, as well as the physical fitness and safety of players when competing.

This is why the IA League tried its best to introduce the KOF format into official competitions, but in the end it could only turn KOF into a specific overtime format that would only be used in the playoffs.

It's just that when WIN was worried that he would miss the finals and that there would be an overtime match after the two sides were tied, the game that the Ice Maple Club had to face was quite easy, after all, the task that Ice Maple needed to complete was too simple.

A victory in one singles match can ensure that you are not eliminated by WIN for the time being, and a victory in two singles matches means that you can directly advance to the finals.

As for the team match with WIN? They didn't take it seriously at all, as they only needed to secure two of the four singles matches to qualify for the finals.

Even after the first semi-final, the Bingfeng Club, which had an absolute advantage, seemed to have decided that their side was bound to advance to the final final, and their focus seemed to be on whether the opponent in the final was the defense club known for its steady play, or the last year's champion team, the Beacon Club.

Of course, as the players of the Ice Maple Club, especially those main players, they are also concerned about another thing at this time, that is, who among them will appear in the next list, and who can become the hero of the battle for the championship and runner-up in the Ice Maple competition.

Because each of them knows one thing, that is, once they can be on the roster, in addition to the glory of the championship, the more important thing is that they can get a huge prize money that far exceeds any previous reward.

After all, in an ordinary playoff group stage, each player has already received millions of prize money, and in a relatively important semi-final, they have received millions of prize money.

So from this point of view, it seems that if they can really win the championship, even if each of their players who can contribute to Bingfeng can't get more than 10 million in prize money, then it will definitely not be lower than the standard of millions in the semifinals.

For the sake of bonuses, they can have no scruples, and for the sake of bonuses, they can even compromise the means.

But who would have thought that just when they fantasized about entering the finals and looking forward to getting a high bonus, the high bonus promised by Yu Guanfei has not been fulfilled for a long time.

It's been four days since the first semi-final match against WIN that night, and based on past prize distribution habits, even if their winnings don't go into their personal accounts on the same day, there's no precedent for them to be months late.

After all, this bonus is not a contract salary, let alone a third-party revenue sharing that requires a certain settlement period, but a temporary bonus for each round of games.

So for this matter, many players have asked You Xiaorong sideways, but in the face of this problem, although You Xiaorong seems to be relaxed and unconcerned on the surface, and he will also use various reasons and excuses to perfunctory and appease, but in fact, compared to other players, You Xiaorong is the most nervous person among them.

Because since the end of that night's game, he hasn't seen Guo Guanfei for many days, and not only hasn't seen him, but even the phone call, he has never made a call these days, even if he is either hung up on his own initiative, or simply shut down.

Yu Guanfei is deliberately avoiding himself? Or did something happen to him?

After not contacting Yu Guanfei for three or four days, even You Xiaorong, who didn't care about it at first, couldn't help but be suspicious and worried.

However, he checked many news reports, and also asked many "princelings" who were good friends with Yu Guanfei, and even the Jinrong Group, he also went to inquire about the news, and the result was that there was no abnormal situation.

There was no unfavorable news for Bingfeng and Yu Guanfei in the news, and there were only various reports that Bingfeng Club was about to enter the finals.

As the largest consortium behind the Ice Maple Club, Jinrong Group seems to be in normal operation, even if there are some negative news and lawsuits, but that was a long time ago, and there is no trouble at all in the near future.

Perhaps the only thing that allowed You Xiaorong to get some news was the members of the "princeling" who were mixed with Yu Guanfei on weekdays.

But their answers are also varied, some people say that Yu Guanfei has angered the old man because of something, and he is being locked up at home by his father to think about it, and some say that Yu Guanfei is begging in the old man's house for the funds of the Ice Maple Club, hoping that he can increase investment.

The most nonsense statement is that someone said that he had seen Tai Guanfei at the airport a few days ago, and it seemed that he was hugging several beautiful girls left and right, ready to take advantage of the rest period to go abroad for a vacation.

In this case, will Yu Guanfei go abroad?

It's impossible, even if Yu Guanfei is romantic, there are always all kinds of women around him, but he is far more attentive to the Ice Maple Club than the so-called beautiful female hot girls.

Otherwise, he would not have invested the large sums of money that could have allowed him to squander them in the Ice Maple Club indefinitely, nor would he have set up such a high bonus that was envious of others in order to win the competition, and he would not have "low-level" to find a very powerful player like Cai Wenxiang to return to China to compete.

And these things are enough to prove that although Yu Guanfei is high-flying, he will never choose to go abroad to be merry and happy during such a crucial playoffs, and he will not give up witnessing the historic moment of Bingfeng Club advancing to the finals because of some women, especially the opponent in this game, but it is still WIN that Yu Guanfei cares about a lot.
