Considering coverage options

I want to avoid labeling them as semi-finalists unless they explicitly say so. The term "无缘决赛" suggests they might have lost in the quarterfinals or semifinals. If they lost 1-3, they likely didn’t reach the finals. The headline hints at a semifinal but isn't clear. I can ask what they’d like, like writing a brief news piece or providing options for social media posts. I can also give a default short news sample in both Chinese and English. Let's proceed with that!
