The first match of the semi-finals took place in Jinling City. The Drizzle Court would be playing against The Capital of Glory.
Of course, Lu Li 3 couldn't fly to Jinling to watch the match live. He bought a ticket and entered the venue with the higher-ups of Ruling Sword. There was no way that these people wouldn't be able to buy a ticket.
The format of the semi-finals was slightly different from the quarter-finals. The main difference was that there were three matches – home, away and random. Only when the score was tied would there be a third match.
If the third match ended in a draw, then these two teams with such good teamwork could really get married.
Lu Li 3's plan this time was to find out more about the strength of The Capital of Glory in this battle at Drizzle Court. For this reason, he had arranged for a batch of equipment to be loaned to Drizzle Court two days ago.
Apart from some of the trump cards of their competitors, this batch of equipment was the best that Ruling Sword had and was worth tens of millions of dollars.
Square Root 3 and the president of Drizzle Court, Falling Star, met for this and signed an equipment loan agreement. If there was an accident during the loan, Drizzle Court would have to pay a certain amount of compensation.
As for the equipment swap between Lu Li 3 and Water Fairy, that was purely personal.
Lu Li 3 wasn't optimistic about Drizzle Court, but that didn't mean that Drizzle Court would give up on this match. They saw this as their biggest opportunity in recent years. After all, making it to the semi-finals represented their strength, so there was no need for them to belittle themselves.
Moreover, if you looked at it from a pessimistic perspective, The Capital of Glory was still on the rise. Ruling Sword was coming at them fiercely and even their own little brother, Peerless City, was dominating. There was also Seventh Heaven, Wings of Dawn, Gale Legion, Blood Red War Flag, Azure Guard and so on. None of these guilds were easy to deal with.
If they could defeat The Capital of Glory this time, then when they faced Ruling Sword, they might have a chance of winning.
Lu Li 3 saw Falling Star, Qingcheng Yun, Star Baby and others in the live broadcast, but he didn't see Water Fairy in person. Even Soul Eater and Half a Cigarette from Peerless City appeared.
Some people guessed that Water Fairy couldn't attend the opening ceremony for some reason. Some people guessed that the Shen family had changed and Water Fairy had been forced to leave home.
However, after the match began, Water Fairy still appeared on the field.
Her expression was calm as usual. She wasn't as disappointed as everyone thought she would be after losing the inheritance of the Shen family. In fact, in the first round of the arena, she had perfectly defeated Glory Capital's Warlock competitor, Empty Mountain Shura.
In fact, Lu Li couldn't figure out what was going on with the Shen family.
He saw that when the CEO of the Shen family was being interviewed by the media, he was very adamant that his daughter was still the first and only heir of the Shen family. On the other hand, he was pressuring his daughter step by step in the game. It was as if he wanted his daughter to admit her mistakes.
It was said that the CEO had hired a professional manager and was currently planning to integrate several large and small clubs under the Shen family, intending to create a super club.
This super club would be led by Lan Yu. Its main goal was to challenge The Capital of Glory and become the number one club in the gaming industry.
This was probably the first time since the opening of Dawnlight. It was two months earlier than what Lu Li remembered. If there were to be another large-scale annexation war, it would probably be normal.
In fact, one shouldn't look down on professional managers. The new Lan Yu might be very suitable for the rapidly developing gaming industry. After all, the scale of the games that everyone played before wasn't as big as Dawnlight. Their horizons were already limited to a very small circle.
The real economy was gradually becoming more intelligent. A large number of idle people had to find a new way of life. Otherwise, it would be easy for problems to arise if they stayed at home with nothing to do.
The gaming industry had sprung up, giving people a new way of entertainment.
Moreover, in the game, they could vent their dissatisfaction and achieve their revenge. Some gaming experts pointed out that Azeroth was a new colony discovered in the real world. Now was the time for a race to occupy the land.
During the time that Lu Li was stunned, Water Fairy had already been defeated by Blood Dagger.
He was probably the only one who could be distracted during a match with Water Fairy. Even if Water Fairy wasn't a rich and beautiful lady, just a pretty girl, it would still be a miracle. As for a beauty that was rarely seen in four thousand years, this kind of adjective definitely didn't come from his brain.
Blood Dagger's strength was similar to what Lu Li estimated – if he didn't hide his strength.
However, Lu Li was sure that he had hidden some of his strength. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken so long and used so many tricks against Water Fairy, who only had half of her HP left.
In the end, Drizzle Court lost, but the score was already 6: 5. In fact, the difference was very small.
Although they were at a disadvantage by one point, everyone had already begun to cheer for Drizzle Court. After all, Drizzle Court was their home ground, so they had the advantage of choosing the map. They chose one out of nine maps, so they were much more familiar with it than their opponents.
However, Lu Li began to worry about Drizzle Court, because the opponent seemed to be playing too well.
Xiao Mo didn't even play!
If Xiao Mo didn't play, could Drizzle Court beat The Capital of Glory?
Lu Li wasn't sure. If Xiao Mo didn't play, Ruling Sword had an 80% chance of beating The Capital of Glory. However, if Xiao Mo played, then Lu Li couldn't say how confident he was.
In any case, during the break, the commentators were cheering for Drizzle Court. The stands were also filled with people who supported Drizzle Court.
The Capital of Glory also had someone on the Beauty Rankings, and it was Dancing Flower Beauty, who was ranked higher than Water Fairy. Unfortunately, the otakus obviously appreciated the cold goddess more. Moreover, Dancing Flower Beauty's gaming skills weren't good enough to enter the arena. In today's situation, no one could steal the spotlight from Water Fairy.
The team competition began, and Drizzle Court chose a Ruins map.
Drizzle Court had a Hunter, Paladin, Thief, Mage and Priest team, with the Hunter as a substitute. The Capital of Glory had a Paladin, Thief, Mage and Priest team, with the Paladin as a substitute. The classes of both teams were actually similar. The only difference was that Drizzle Court had a Hunter, while The Capital of Glory had a Warrior.
However, the difference between both teams was that none of them were the main players, so everyone's focus was on the main players.
The advantage of the Ruins was that the terrain was complex. If you had enough practice, then you would be able to take advantage of the complex terrain and surprise your opponents. This would also allow you to have more tactics for subsequent battles.
