semi-finals

Semi-finals are the matches or rounds that determine which competitors will advance to the final round of a tournament or competition. They typically involve the last four participants or teams, with two matches played: each semi-final pits two opponents against each other. The winners of these matches progress to the final, where the champion is decided. Essentially, semi-finals serve as the stepping stone before the ultimate contest, narrowing down the field to the top contenders and building anticipation for the final showdown.
