　　The next morning, iceiceice, BurNIng, and LaNm were up bright and early as I found them around 9:30am finishing up breakfast at the restaurant on the second floor. After breakfast, BurNIng went back up to get some more sleep, and iceiceice, LaNm and I headed to the venue. We went backstage, and LaNm excitedly exclaimed, “Time to pub!!” I love playing pubs!” and then invited me to play with the two of them. That was pretty fun. During one of the pub games, the other team was convinced they were fakes, but by the end, were wishing DK luck at MLG.

　　第二天早上，iceiceice，BurNIng和LaNm起的很早很愉快，我9:30（北京时间周日晚上11:30）发现他们在二楼餐厅，快吃完早饭了。早饭后BurNIng又上楼补觉去了，iceiceice，LaNm和我一起去赛场。我们去了后台，LaNm很兴奋，“路人时间到！我爱打(虐)路人！”，然后邀请我跟他们两个一起玩。很有趣。其中一场路人局中，我们一度让对面相信DK的ID是假冒的，但是在最后，对面还是祝福了DK在MLG好运。

　　A bit later, MMY, BurNIng, and Mushi showed up, and DK gathered to do some last minute analysis and whatnot.

　　稍晚一些，MMY，BurNIng和Mushi出现，DK聚在一起最后分析了一下。

DK preparing before MLG semifinals against NaVi.DK在准备与NaVi的半决赛

　　With about an hour to go before their semifinals match against NaVi, NaVi themselves showed up, and the two teams hung out a bit backstage. Iceiceice challenged Kuroky to an arm-wrestling match, and upon beginning the match, iceiceice immediately took both hands to KKY’s one hand, ‘won’ the match illegitimately, and raised his arms in triumph while Kuroky looked on with a mixture of bemusement and non-acceptance of having just lost the arm wrestling match. The rest of the time went similarly lightheartedly, with chattering and trolling and joking amongst the two teams.

　　在半决赛打NaVi之前一小时左右，NaVi出现了，两队互相寒暄了几句。Iceiceice向Kuroky挑战扳手腕，并且在比赛刚刚开始的时候立刻用两只手抓住了KKY的一只手，不正当地赢了比赛，然后举起手臂作出胜利的姿态，留下Kuroky一人带着复杂的表情，夹杂着对自己输了一场扳手腕比赛的困惑和无法接受。剩下的时间也同样的轻松自在，两支队伍唠叨唠叨，互相钓钓鱼开开玩笑神马的。

　　I think it was before the NaVi match here that Mushi ended up being the one who had an on-stage question directed at him, thanks to iceiceice volunteering him for it while Mushi was in the bathroom. Mushi came back, heard that he was going to be questioned, and immediately shrank back trying to decline. In the end, I coached him on his answer a little bit after Mushi kicked iceiceice for signing him up in absentia, and Mushi went on-stage with his answers ready.

　　我记得貌似是和NaVi比赛前，Mushi成为了那个会在舞台上被提问的人。感谢iceiceice在Mushi去厕所的时候替他答应。Mushi回来以后听说他要被问问题，立刻向后缩，想拒绝。（画外音：你们不要再采访我大Mushi和MMY了好么。。）最终，在Mushi’痛扁’了iceiceice之后我教了他一下回答，Mushi带着准备好的答案出了场。

Discussing strategies.讨论战术

　　Then came the semifinals match. The actual games were a blur in my mind, but DK ended up with the win after a game 3 in which BurNIng, perhaps uncharacteristically, took the risk of building a Divine Rapier when he wasn’t absolutely pressed to do so (in fact, not at all needed).

　　接下来就是半决赛。实际比赛在我脑中已经模糊，但是DK最终拿下了这场BO3。在最后一场BurNing，一反常态地，冒险出了一把圣剑，而当时并没有被逼到一定要这么做（事实上，一点也没有必要）

　　Of course, his Rapier came after they lost a close game against NaVi in game two, where XBOCT built a dominatingtwoDivine Rapiers. After game three ended with a Rapier of his own, BurNIng then said something I’ll never forget:

　　当然，他的圣剑是因为DK在第二场很胶着的比赛中由于XBOCT专横地出了两把圣剑而输掉了比赛。在第三场比赛带着自己的圣剑取得胜利后，BurNIng说了一句我永远不会忘记的话：

　　“不出圣剑怎么对得起我们的粉丝”（原文用的中文，非英文转译）
