At the end of the third day, the first semifinal of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational came to an end. Season from North America defeated Team God from China's LPL with a score of 2-0, becoming the first team to advance to the finals.
Such an outcome was naturally heartbreaking and disappointing for the vast majority of the audience. However, that was the reality. They had no choice but to keep their emotions in check and continue to watch the next round of matches.
In the second group of MSI's semifinals, the remaining spot in the finals would be decided between SSK and Assassin.
By noon, the public's opinion was mostly on SSK's side, but at the same time, there were also many who were cheering for Team Assassin, believing that the latter still had a fighting chance.
"2-80."
This was Lin Feng's evaluation during lunch.
Shi Hang sighed. "Are their chances that low?"
Golden Shanzhan also shook his head. "I think it's a 3-70 at most. Even if Nian Thirteen plays well and can carry Hitman to defeat Europe's MLG, it's a completely different story if he's up against SSK …"
A team that would never give their opponents the slightest bit of hope.
A team that could destroy all miracles.
All sorts of titles and titles were bestowed upon the SSK Team.
However, this had been proven to be the case in past tournaments. SSK had never lost a match or two due to carelessness, especially when they had the upper hand in the first ten minutes of the match. Their win rate was over 95%.
In other words, they never gave their opponents a chance to turn the tables.
"So …"
Lin Feng concluded.
"If Old Thirteen and the others want to win, they'll have to do everything in their power to take control of the tempo.
"Otherwise, they won't be able to turn the tables if they go easy on SSK."
… …
It was afternoon.
The second semifinal began at 2 PM. Lin Feng and Song Jia bumped into each other in the arena at 1: 30 PM.
But this time, the two of them didn't have much time to talk. Song Jia didn't even have the chance to smile and say a few words to Lin Feng. She didn't even have time to find out the true relationship between Lin Feng and the professional players on the server.
Tang Bingyao came over.
The girl skipped over. She was about to ask Lin Feng to buy some water when she saw the beautiful girl standing in front of Lin Feng.
Lin Feng, who was sandwiched between the two women, appeared rather natural.
"Hey, Tang Tang, this is Sister Song Jia. I met her last time when we were eating crayfish."
"Sister Song Jia, this is TangTang ~ my classmate."
Tang Bingyao politely greeted Song Jia. "Hello, Sister Song Jia."
Song Jia also replied with a smile. However, under her smiling face, her emotions couldn't help but fluctuate.
She hadn't expected Lin Feng to have such a beautiful classmate. From the looks of it, the two of them seemed to be very close, and they had come to watch MSI together. Even Song Jia, who was very confident in her looks, couldn't help but feel a little defeated by Tang Tang's looks.
Soon, An Xin walked up from behind and said with a smile, "I'm sorry.
"What are you all doing here?"
For Song Jia, just seeing a girl like Tang Bingyao was enough to cause her confidence to crumble. But when she saw the elegant and refined figure of the girl in front of her, it was a heavy blow that was twice as heavy.
This time …
She had been completely outshone by him.
The two girls beside a certain someone were simply more beautiful than the other, each more breathtaking than the other.
After chatting for a while, Song Jia hurriedly said her goodbyes. But before she left, she couldn't help but glance at An Xin and Tang Bingyao. Then she looked at Lin Feng with a complicated expression.
When Song Jia returned to her seat, her best friend's roommate, Cheng Qingqing, looked up at her and teased her.
"Hey, where did you go this time?
I think I saw you chatting with that little brother Lin Feng over there. What's wrong? Did our beautiful Song Jia fall in love with a high school kid? "
"If word of this gets out, who knows how many of our seniors and juniors in our Finance department will commit suicide?"
If it was in the past, Song Jia would have rolled her eyes or said something to refute her best friend's joke.
But this time, Song Jia only shook her head and said thoughtfully, "Don't worry.
"That Lin Feng …"
"It is indeed quite interesting."
… …
Two o 'clock in the afternoon.
The second semifinals of the MSI Mid-Season Invitational had begun.
Assassin Team versus SSK Team.
Although it was generally acknowledged that SSK had a high chance of winning the championship, the Assassin Guild's second consecutive victory over MLG the day before was also in high spirits. They looked as if they were ready to cut off all means of retreat and drag the emperor down from his throne.
The first match of the best-of-three matchup was filled with the smell of gunpowder and gunpowder.
Just as Lin Feng, Shi Hang, Golden Flash, and the others had analyzed and judged at lunch, Team Assassin had chosen the most intense strategy at the start of the first battle. The top laner coordinated with the jungler to roam, and the support linked jungler to gank.
They frequently invaded the opponent's jungle.
Although they might not be able to claim any kills or resources in the jungle, they successfully disrupted the rhythm of the match.
"Is this a sh * t stick strategy?"
On the commentary platform, the special guest, Lightless Heart, nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes. The point is that Team Assassin needs to disrupt SSK's rhythm. They need to muddy the waters first, and then find an opportunity to break out of this mess."
In the front row, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.
"Next up —"
"It all depends on Thirteen's ability to set the pace."
… …
Five minutes into the match.
On the blue team, Silent Thirteen's jungler, Widow, camped on the top lane and cooperated with her team's top laner, Ice Girl, to kill off the purple team's SSK team's top laner, Wolf.
"First blood! — "
Thunderous cheers erupted from the audience.
One minute later.
"an-ally-has-been-slained."
The system's female voice announced the kill in the ears of the five Assassin members.
It was heavy and depressing.
In the middle lane, SSK's mid laner Jess soloed Assassin's mid laner Syndra.
In the Korean MSI live stream, countless Korean players were screaming excitedly and spamming the bullet screen.
"F God! — F God! — F God! — — "
In the arena, within SSK's arena, Han Shihao's expression was as calm and indifferent as ever.
The eighth minute.
SSK's jungler Mafa's Blind Monk gank the middle lane.
He coordinated with Han Shihao's mid laner Jess and took down Ball Girl once more.
Ten minutes.
Jess completed another solo kill.
For a moment, the entire competition venue was in an uproar. Countless players and spectators had expressions of shock and disbelief.
Less than ten minutes …
Assassin Team's mid lane had already been destroyed?!?!
