Recently, the first official cup competition officially organized by the "Battle of the Golden Shovel", the "Twin Cities Cup", ushered in the elimination of Group A of the semi-finals of the finals. According to the semi-final rules of the finals, the 8 players in Group A will have to play a Points-based duel of Bo5, and after the Bo5 duel, the 4 players with the highest ranking points will successfully advance to the final. In the end, after experiencing a very fierce Bo5 duel, the four players in Group A, KS Xingqing 1, Dahe Ling, YunNiu Flying Saucer and Wei Ah, won the top four places in Group A in the semifinals with outstanding performances, and successfully advanced to the final.
It is worth mentioning that because the final of the Twin Cities Cup coincided with the version update of "The Battle of the Golden Shovel". In such a situation, it is also a relatively big test for the players. So, in the very fierce semi-final Group A, what wonderful duels have appeared? Let's take a look!
Bo5 First Set: Syndicate Akari defeats The Holy Shield Mutant Big Mouth
In the first inning of Group A in the semifinals, the last version of the very popular Holy Shield Mutant Big Mouth appeared. However, interestingly, although the Great River Spirit's Holy Shield Mutant Big Mouth successfully made up the shackles of the 5 mutant warriors, and the policewoman, Galen, Casadin, and Big Mouth all came to Samsung smoothly, there was still no way to face the two-star Tam of the Wei Ah Assassin. This first set was not so much a victory for the Akari squad as it was about the two-star stab Tamm that was the key to winning the game.
Bo5 Second Round: 6 Bodyguard Sniper Small Cannon Smashes Black and White
Since the start of the Twin Cities Cup Finals, the appearance rate of the Bodyguard Sniper Cannon has been quite good. In the semi-final group A, there was a situation where 6 bodyguard snipers reached the top. It is worth mentioning that the opponent of the Cloud Bull Flying Saucer, the black and white method quality of the Cloud Bull Little Y, is also quite high. But unfortunately, Marzaha is a continuous injury after all, coupled with the fact that the Cloud Bull Flying Saucer has a three-star Lulu, which greatly limits Marzaha's output. In the end, the Cloud Bull Flying Saucer won the game.
Bo5 Third Set: Syndicate Akari defeats the Holy Shield Mutant Big Mouth again
The third inning of Group A in the semifinals was somewhat similar to the first inning, and in the final round there was still a showdown between the syndicateDika Akari and the Holy Shield Mutant Big Mouth, and the Holy Shield Mutant Big Mouth once again lost to the Syndicate Akali.
Bo5 Round 4: Alchemy Mouse defeats the bodyguard Sniper
Alchemy Rats were also a very popular lineup in the previous version. However, since the beginning of the Finals stage, the Alchemy Mouse has never reached the top. However, in the fourth game of The Semifinals Group A, KS Xingqing 1 not only defeated the popular bodyguard sniper with the alchemy mouse, but also won the game in the end. Of course, the reason why the alchemical rat of KS Star Qing 1 was able to reach the top was that the two-star Akali actually played a very key role.
Bo5 Fifth Round: 7 Inventor Alchemy Rats Defeat Black and White
In the fifth match of Semi-Final Group A, the final round ostensibly used the 7 Inventors lineup, but it was actually an upgraded version of the Alchemy Mouse. The Cloud Bull Flying Saucer, which uses the Alchemy Mouse, also successfully defeated Wei Ah's classic black and white demon in the final round.
Finally, from the overall situation, the strong return of the alchemy mouse became one of the biggest highlights of group A in the semi-finals. At the same time, the Yunniu UFO, which won two summits in Bo5, won the third place, while the Big River Spirit, which did not reach the top once, won the second place. It is not difficult to see that in the semi-finals, it is crucial to reach the top, but whether you can get a good score in every round is more important. Of course, because the final is based on the 18-point summit format, that is, if you want to win the final championship, the summit will become the key to victory.
After the semi-final Group A match, on January 8, the Twin Cities Cup will usher in the semi-final Group B showdown. So, in the semi-final Group B, which four players can successfully break through to advance to the final? Let's wait and see!
