The semi-finals will begin immediately, starting with a match between the world's third-ranked international column Liquid and the world's ninth-ranked all-Swedish team FNC, in a BO3 format.

The recommended viewing star given by HLTV in this game is three stars, which is the highest star game since the start of the IBP Masters 2019, and even one star higher than the world's No. 1 team A playing the world's twentieth GHOST.

As the players entered, the red beast icon of ibuypower on the stage kept flashing, and a beam of light hit the faces of the liquid crowd, which was the first time on the stage after the offseason, and the faces of a chicken and the director were a little excited, and Li Pu was looking left and right with some curiosity.

The new BGM "Lookdown" sounded, the ethereal female voice continued to sing in a low voice, and the dark blue horse head of the liquid team logo was projected on the big screen at a high place, and one cheer after another came from the scene.

"Let's welcome TEAM LIQUID~" A tall, handsome host stood on the stage with a microphone, and his voice was very long, it was a professional atmosphere group.

The atmosphere was warm, the fans and the audience stood up, and the lights of the whole stadium were dimmed, leaving only the middle passage to shine, which was the entrance channel for the liquid players to go on stage.

With his arms outstretched, Li Pu learned the look of the professional brother in his memory, and high-fived the audience fans who stretched out their hands one by one, others including Elige were already familiar with walking in the front, liquid is a team in the United States, and it is a home game in Los Angeles, and fans wearing blue and white liquid uniforms can be seen everywhere on both sides of the entrance tunnel.

Everyone stood on the stage, and the host began to introduce the members of the liquid team, "E~LIGE~"

A chicken showed his signature shy smile, and the audience erupted in cheers, the popularity of the old genius in North America is the highest in the liquid, followed by twistzz, the handsome gun still has fans, followed by the milk ball, he is not low in popularity with the name of Captain America, and finally the sloth and Lip.

There were even boos at the scene when it was Lip's turn to introduce him, and it seemed that some people were still not very happy with him as the fifth person in the liquid.

There are even Chinese Americans wearing liquid team uniforms vaguely shouting his name in the Chinese dialect that Li Pu is most familiar with, Li Pu's spirit has doubled, this semi-final has been broadcast by the media, I don't know if domestic fans can see their performance, Li Pu knows that he has to go all out.

Instead of immediately returning to the front of the machine to adjust, the Liquid Five continued to wait in front of the players' bench, and the next step was the opponent entering.

With the resounding of "Lookdown", this time it is the FNC players who are here, this Swedish team is so wide that the ancestors are boundless, and the legendary members of the Cosmos team period are still JW Piggy and Krimz Krimuz, and the popularity is naturally not low, and the fans of the yellow and black uniforms on the scene cheered.

It is worth mentioning that FNC's twist is only two letters different from the liquid twistzz, and Li Pu couldn't help but smile evilly when he thought of the high-spirited director in the lounge threatening to blow up the old immortals opposite.

Swede Twist, due to the next dazzling achievements of the North American genius, Twist can only be called the deputy director, a member of the golden age of the Swedish profession, and once the makeup photo was very similar to the Chinese star Wang Xiaoming, so the Chinese audience also referred to him with the star name.

Brollan, who joined FNC in October 18, is only 16 years old, and is a rising star unanimously predicted by many TOP20 professional brothers, a Swedish genius, who played well in this IBP Masters, and made outstanding contributions to the successful promotion of FNC together with Syst xizt and Klimuz.

After the host introduced the FNC players, the game started immediately, leaving only the liquid chicken and FNC's JW pig, the soul of the two teams had to have a regular pre-game ruthless talk, and the other players sat down and began to debug the machine.

Plugging in the peripherals he brought, Milk Ball took out his mobile phone to take a picture of the scene, and then sent a tweet, the phone will be put away by the referee standing behind them after a while, he wants to play a little more while he can play now, which is also a sign of nervousness.

NAF and twistzz have entered the server to start gun practice, the server for the semi-finals is built in the venue, which will be smoother and less prone to network failures, and the most technical suspension in offline matches is equipment failure, which is determined by the quality of the computer provided by the event party.

And the machine used by the ibp in the semifinals this time is not too bad, and there was only one technical timeout in the previous FAZE game, which is already considered good.

Lip turned on the music slowly, he was ready to relax first, and the game was about ten minutes away.

Liquid's coach adren has been pulled to ban, the format is BO3, he needs to remove two and pick a map, the same goes for the opposite side, and there will be one map left as map three.

Thinking of what Lipp and Elige said last night, Adren did not choose Dust2 Sand Two when he banned the map for the second time, but banned the inferno Purgatory Town, which was very strong on both sides, which surprised the FNC coach, but he didn't allow him to think about it too much, and still banned the train train according to the pre-game preparation, because this is also the weakest map of FNC at the moment.

Figure 1 is the cache forklift selected by liquid, Figure 2 is the mirage desert maze selected by FNC, and Figure 3 is dust2 sand 2.

Behind the curtain of the contestants is the OB team of this competition, with many machines, as if a small video studio had been built.

Li Pu has watched the previous games, and the perspective of the cut is the perspective of the victim, which is a little unprofessional, which makes people call "Zhao Gan!" Only the paused time to show the audience a pleasing gliding perspective in the map shows that the OB team has done their best.

Both players have entered the server and will soon confirm the start of the match.

The liquid crowd stood up and besieged the city, Adren said something to tell the players not to be nervous, and then reached for his hand in the middle, and Li Pu also stretched out his right hand, which was the pre-game cheering method of liquid, everyone folded their hands together, and then pressed down heavily.

“Let's go！ Liquid！ The five people and the coach shouted in unison.

Then sat down and confirmed the game, FNC also clicked on the confirmation after a while, the game started, this map is a strong map forklift chosen by the liquid itself, and they start the game on the defensive side.

Milkball has a flashbang and pincers, the other four of the liquid are all armored, Milkball and a chicken are guarding A, the sloth is defending the exit of the police road, and the director and Lipp are in B.

Without too much action, FNC didn't play any complicated tactics, and directly chose a wave to rush to the middle, bouncing, they had studied the defensive position of the liquid in the pistol round.

A small chicken did not receive the toll, exclaimed and returned to the police white car, NAF heard tons of footsteps, the bandits rushed directly, the leader was Baolan, a headshot at close range, NAF died directly.

A chicken in the white car has already shown its footsteps, and Baolan directly pulled it over and squatted to the end, or a shot, the young man's pistol bureau was so angry, and he replaced the USP dropped by the police and continued to look for someone.

The deputy director led people to turn left and kill the director of point B alone, even if Li Pu took away the deputy director in the management room, the back of Syst also completed the gun, the milk ball was wound out from point A, and the opposite side had already entered the bag point under the bag, and he wanted to keep the gun.

FNC didn't give him this chance, and after replacing one person in Hall A, the milk ball also fell immediately, and the pistol game ended, and the old powerhouse FNC gave the liquid a dismount as soon as it came up.

This is to remind the liquid players and the audience who have been proud of the recent spring breeze that the world rankings of both sides are only rankings, and it depends on the on-the-spot performance when it really starts.

From now on, this is the real stage of this competition, welcome to the world of the strong!

Enthusiastic cheers and exclamations erupted from the scene, and FNC easily won the pistol round.
