　　In the first game of the semi-final two days ago, Xu Jiayang was defeated by Mi Yuting.

In this campaign, he took the initiative in the first half of the game, but he used too much time compared to his opponents, resulting in limited calculations in the second half.

As a world champion, Mi Yuting seized the opportunity to reverse the situation and finally won with 199 black hands. He defeated Xu Jiayang 2-0 by a big score and entered the Dream Lily Cup final again.

　　Xie Ke, who also took the lead in the first set of the semi-finals, did not miss a chance. He defeated Fan Tingyu in the 2nd game and met Mi Yuting in the final.

In this campaign, Xie Ke became passive in the layout stage, but Fan Tingyu played a problematic game in the middle of the game, causing the situation to take a turn for the worse.

In the 195th move, Fan Tingyu conceded and missed the final.

　　So far, Xie Ke has become the first Chinese Go player to enter the final of the World Series.

Before Xie Ke, there was only one person in the world chess world who unlocked this achievement. He is currently the top ranked player in Korea and world champion Shin Jin.

　　Xie Ke has been in good shape recently. Not only did he break into the Meng Lily Cup final, he also eliminated Ke Jie in the quarterfinals of the Ying's Cup.

If he can defeat Mi Yuting in this final, Xie Ke will become the first "post-00" world champion in Chinese Go.

　　At present, the time for the final of the Dream Lily Cup has not yet been determined. The first three championships were won by Mi Yuting, Ke Jie and Park Tinghuan.
