The result of the 8-for-4 match did not go beyond all expectations.
Except for "Fang Shaoyun" Fire who is a variable, the top three players in the country, Time, IA and have all entered the semi-finals!
The first game of the semi-finals is also Fire's high-burning matchup against IG veteran IA!
…
After the quarterfinals, IA was discussing high-burning playstyles with Macsed.
The high-burning style of play is flexible and changeable, and the operation ability and judgment ability are extremely strong.
Although I have never seen the operation of Fire, according to Time and Brother Huang, the operation of Fire is at least at the level of Korean professionals.
Gao Ran himself didn't think too much. He had many tactics to choose from and he responded to the situation during the game.
But you can take advantage of your opponent's psychology...
Gao Ran thought silently.
…
The scene is still full of enthusiasm!
The semi-finals didn’t really begin until the semi-finals, and every subsequent contest was a strong confrontation!
Gao Ran returned to the court again, and Ye Jianing and Lin Ya also nervously cheered for Gao Ran.
The further he went down, the closer Gao Ran was to his first professional championship trophy, and Ye Jianing on the stage became more and more nervous!
In the first semi-final, Fire is still the dark horse!
Play against the Zerg player IA from the IG team!
Brother Huang also analyzed in the commentary box:
"The previous 16 games of Fire were all in one wave. I think we should be able to see the operational level of Fire in this game."
Brother Sun also nodded and said:
"Yes, IA is an experienced player, he will guard against a wave."
"However, I think it's hard to say the outcome of this game. Personally, I think it's a 50-50 draw."
Both parties also entered the game screen after completing the ban map.
"OK!"
"The first semi-final has begun! The Protoss player born on the lower right is Fire! The Zerg player born on the upper left is IA!"
"Fire should be stable in the first game..."
"well?"
"ah?"
It’s not just Brother Sun and Brother Huang!
All the audience members shouted out!
"What?!"
"Going to build the bunker?!"
Brother Sun and Brother Huang were both stupid.
Build bunkers when Fire comes up?
I saw Fire put down his barracks and forge and clicked crystals on the front line!
Protoss PvZ dog trick, build bunker!
"Six Paths Pain again?"
Brother Sun and Brother Huang both realized what Gao Ran wanted to do. They had watched several games during the audition...
"oops!"
"This position is too tricky! I figured it out!"
The high-intensity crystal and the location of the bunker just avoid the opponent's detection!
"Something's going to happen."
Mr. No also judged that, as expected, the IA farmers were stunned when they saw the opponent's forge...
Build a bunker?
Looking at his own home, Gao Ran had already taken a photo of the mechanical table...
"My time..."
Brother Huang almost said a curse word, but he swallowed it back because it was an official live broadcast.
"The bunker has been built, but fortunately, this bunker cannot defeat IA's 2 mines. If there are eggs, we can send troops."
"Let's see how IA defends against it."
"To be honest, it's a bit late."
Brother Sun also analyzed.
IA didn't see the opponent's bunker repairs at the first time, which caused the opponent's machine platform and bunker to be clicked with peace of mind.
IA thought that Gao Ran was very strong, and he should be able to fight steadily against him. Who knew that Gao Ran directly used a psychological tactic, and he was defeated directly.
The high-burning Immortal comes out very quickly!
In addition, the location of the bunker is perfect, so there are not many IA options!
He could only blast a wave of dogs to cooperate with his queen, and Guanzi launched a charge...
"oops!"
"IA is in a hurry! Wait for a while!"
Brother Huang also felt it was a pity from a God's perspective. Even if he gave up his 2 mines, as long as he defended this wave, the Zerg would definitely suffer a loss, but the game could still be played.
But this wave of strong defense of mine 2 is likely to cause trouble!
really……
The positions of high-burning buildings are carefully calculated. The Immortal moves in and blocks the position to start outputting. The dog can only retreat...
"IA Fire Cockroach has also changed!"
"But it seems a little too late!"
The high-burning Prism Immortality operation is so delicate!
One prism can operate 4 immortals, so the strength of single-line operation is simply a monster!
The extremely smooth operation continuously consumes IA's troops!
IA's fire cockroaches came out and forcibly smashed the highly flammable bunker and batteries!
"The bunker was destroyed!"
"But these four immortals are a bit invincible!"
Brother Sun analyzed.
The four immortals on the field who are high-burning and facing are simply too powerful, and the output IA can't stop them at all!
After Gao Ran destroyed the opponent's 2 mines, he went directly to the main mine and used his own operations to eat up the opponent's troops!
In this kind of battle, the space for the Zerg to operate is really too small.
After a wave of exchanges, only one of the high-burning immortals died, and a new immortal emerged...
The population on both sides is about the same, but the strength on the front is completely different.
5 minutes and 30 seconds.
IA plays GG!
…
No audience expected that Gao Ran would win the first game so easily!
In the Bo3 format, we were the first to get the match point!
IA also didn't expect that his opponent would use this move...
"In the next game, we must explore the road and do reconnaissance as soon as possible."
IA is also a little annoyed, and would rather lose some economy to detect the opponent's tactics.
This Dogecoin dog man has too many tactics.
He is definitely not a player who will honestly compete with his opponents based on his strength and default.
After winning the first set, Gao Ran also showed a smile.
One thing the system taught him is that on the field, it doesn't matter how you win.
The most important thing is to win, it doesn't matter no matter how ugly the game is.
Generally, the first set of a match is played normally to test the strength of the opponent.
Gao Ran went against the grain and successfully won the first set with a wave of bunker repairs!
IA knows that Gao Ran is very strong, and the virtual and real attacks also make it a bit difficult for IA to target the opponent.
Brother Huang also said in the commentary box:
"Let me briefly talk to you about the characteristics of random players. We also discussed a lot yesterday when we went back."
"A very important part of the interstellar game is tactical targeting."
"It's difficult to do this randomly, but it's also difficult for the other party to target you."
"If all three races really have enough strength, then the game will be in an advantageous situation from the beginning."
"The enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, right? I know what race my opponent is, but my opponent doesn't know what race I am."
"Looking at it now, Fire is a player who has a deep understanding of randomness."
"He did not choose to fight honestly with his opponent. If he kept fighting like this, his opponent would have to keep guarding against his dirty tricks and tactics."
"There are so many tactics to choose from."
Brother Huang also carefully analyzed that, just like the FIFA project "Superman", if you have the strength to overtake the opponent, you must also have some fake moves.
This way there will be more room for choice.
The countless dog moves and a wave of tactics from the three high-burning tribes are also giving IA a huge headache now.
It was also the first time for them to compete with random players, and they were a little overwhelmed.
