Making the cake bigger is not an empty phrase.

The further you go in this World, the more valuable it is for the company.

If you can win the championship in this World Championship, it will have the foundation of being built into a giant club.

Naturally, the company is more happy to see it.

Or rather, sit back and enjoy it.

However, their thoughts are one thing.

If Lee Sang-hyuk's wishes are selectively ignored, this idea may be a good idea.

So in fact, the final outcome is still unknown.

......

His mind over there, his and his teammates at the moment, were immersed in intense and intense preparations for the semi-finals.

There is only one word difference between the semifinals and the finals, and the victory or defeat may only be a thought.

But there is no doubt that only those who win are qualified to win the championship and will be remembered by the world.

That is, second, third, fourth place in addition to the championship ... It's pointless to work hard for so long.

So at such a juncture, everyone is extremely focused and does not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Although the period of the group stage and the semi-finals is called a break, in fact, they are spent in about three training matches and countless Rank exercises.

Everyone strives to maintain their form at the top of their game ahead of the semi-finals and not let their individual form become a drag on the semi-finals.

In addition, the other three teams are also the same.

After all, this kind of competitive competition is a very state-eating event, and the performance on the field and individual strength are equally important.

Especially if the semi-finals are still in the BO5 format, it will be even more delicious.

Because the group stage is a B01 points competition, if the player is not in good shape that day, then he only needs to work hard to adjust, cheer up, and maintain his condition for a short period of time in the game.

However, the semi-finals of the B05 format can take half a day if you play five matches.

For the players, it is not only necessary to adjust the condition, but more importantly, to be able to maintain that peak.

You can't say you played well in the first game and then you can't maintain your form in the second game.

In this case, the four teams that advanced to the semi-finals this time practiced even harder during this break.

.......

Four days is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

After a moment, the semi-finals of this year's MSI World Championship are just around the corner.

The Grand Colislet in Chicago, the venue for the MSI World Championship semifinals.

From the afternoon onwards, the streets around the Coliseum in downtown Chicago began to be congested intermittently.

Vehicles, pedestrians, and fans and spectators from all over the world...

An hour before the start of the game, it almost paralyzed the traffic on the streets around the Collegium.

It can also be seen from this that he was killed by AHQ on the fourth match day, and unfortunately missed the semi-final place.

However, the defeat of the local team did not affect the enthusiasm of the North American audience too much.

Esports knows no borders.

Thousands of people can gather in such a stadium to watch the world's best players compete in milliseconds of nervous reaction and personal top-notch technology.

As long as you are an e-sports viewer, I believe that no one can resist such an temptation. Confuse.

......

It wasn't until about seven o'clock in the evening that the streets around the Chicago Collegium gradually returned to normal order.

Because at this point, the audience with tickets in hand is almost all seated.

Tonight will be the first round of the semi-finals, and AHQ, who is ranked fourth.

In the arena of the Chicago Coliseum, the audience members who were already seated in the audience held all kinds of fan cheering items.

Some viewers from Europe and the United States also put their own team chat stickers on their faces to support their favorite teams.

Before the start of the game, the crowd in the stadium was surging, enthusiastic and lively.

......

On the LPL's host commentary platform, the doll glanced at the camera in the studio, then raised the microphone and said in one breath,

"That's it! This is the scene of the semi-finals of the 2014 MSI Mid-Season Invitational, I am the host commentator, and today's game will be played by me, Miller and PDD, together with the three of us, to bring you the real-time commentary of the semi-finals. ”

"Hi everyone, I'm Miller."

"Hi everyone, I'm PDD"

Miller and PDD, who were on the side, also raised their hands and greeted the audience to the camera in the studio.

"Against AHQ, who is fourth in points, to be honest, this team is really scary."

After the doll finished speaking, she turned her head and smiled and said to the PDD on the side, "What about you, the teacher?" ”

PDD was called by the doll in front of the audience in the camera, and suddenly showed a "shy and shy" expression.

He grinned and waved his hand at the doll, then lifted the headset next to his ear and said, "Well, yes, to be honest, I'm still familiar with Smile in this team." ”

"Oh, I know this, you guys often live together and open the black, right?" Miller immediately interjected with a smile when he heard it.

"That's right, so I know this guy is really terrifying." PDD nodded, "I watched the fight, EDG's approach in the early stage was very good, but unfortunately Xiaolong's wave exploded, so if AHQ wants to win today, the experience is better." ”

"Hehe, it's like fighting the boss in the next dungeon, right, you can always sum up the strategies and tricks while fighting."

The doll laughed and teased, and then continued, "But I have to say here, this boss is not the same as the average boss. Because a normal dungeon boss you only need to kill a few times, you can always find out the pattern, this boss he will change, he has no rules. ”

"That's right, so I think if AHQ wants to win today, well... It's a bit hard. PDD nodded in agreement.
