This holiday was quite short, and within a few days, it was time to close the team again.

EDG prepared cotton jackets early and planned to go to Iceland to fight MSI in the near summer weather in May.

Iceland is located at 64°09′N and 21°56′W. Although it has a high latitude and even enters the Arctic Circle, it is affected by the North Atlantic warm current and controlled by the westerly wind zone, so it has a temperate marine climate, which is not as cold as imagined.

Iceland is just the first game, and the group stage and confrontation will be held here. The subsequent knockout and final stages will go to Paris and London respectively.

"In Iceland in May, the temperature is between zero and ten degrees. Bring warm clothes to avoid colds!"

Abu kept reminding him that although he had returned to his coaching position, he was still traveling with the responsibilities of his former manager.

...

April 30.

EDG official blog posted a large group photo of the team members, and the caption was [MSI, departure!]

As soon as this blog post was released, it reposted countless comments.

【Come on EDG!】

【Get down!】

【EDG rushing duck!】

"Come on, come on, hand over your passport, ID card, and visa to me first. Finally, check your luggage and confirm that there is no problem. We set off! It was too late to find it back after getting on the plane."

Team leader Chen Yifan shouted loudly in the team members' dormitory.

Chen Ye had already packed his luggage, so he was not panicked, but turned his head to look at Mingkai, "Why don't you go to Iceland?"

Mingkai shrugged, "What am I going to do? It's so far away, I won't go on the stage anyway, so go on a trip?"

"..." Chen Ye scratched his head, and Brother Sheng Gun said in a shocking way: "Don't you get the championship bonus?"

"I think too much, little bitch." Ming Kai smiled evilly, "I have the final say in this, do you think I can get the difference?"

"...It's a waste of money, right?"

"Haha, I want you the money? If I can win the championship, let alone the prize money, I will treat you to a meal for ten days!"

"really?"

"A glance at Ding Zhen!"

...

It was confirmed that there was no problem, and the group boarded the team bus amid the cheers of other staff members.

On the way, Chen Ye received a call from his mother and obviously saw the Weibo post.

"Don't worry, I've brought enough clothes. I'm more afraid of the cold than anyone else. You don't know yet?... Hahaha, that's a must! You must win the championship!"

...

The fleet quickly arrived at Pudong International Airport, where there were unexpectedly many people who were delivering the plane, and even Mr. Jin was waiting here.

Jin Yibo was quite enthusiastic about Chen Ye, holding his hands, "MSI add some fuel and get us a championship!"

In Mr. Jin's eyes, Chen Ye is now a pure hot commodity.

In recent years, the alliance has been intentionally introducing fan circles into the e-sports circle to increase fan activity and topicality.

Let’s not talk about whether this behavior is correct, but the effect is indeed achieved.

The fans are really injecting a lot of vitality into the e-sports circle, but they are different from ordinary e-sports fans.

Their requirements for players' appearance are greater than their grades or strength.

The higher your appearance, the more fans you will have.

Of course, if you can still achieve good results when you are good at appearance, it will be a decisive victory.

Chen Ye is such a contestant, with outstanding appearance and tall figure. The most important thing is that he has gained FMVP.

In the league now, Chen Ye is the one with the largest fan base, who is always bringing huge benefits to the league.

Even in this case, his identity as a financial backer's son seems less important.

Chen Ye was a little confused about the CEO's enthusiasm, but he still smiled and nodded, "Yeah, sure!"

...

Behind Mr. Jin, EDG's boss Edju stood. He himself did not live in the club, so he came directly by himself.

He stood with the staff and led the EDG team members to their special plane.

That's right, it's a special plane.

The straight-line distance from China to Iceland is 7777 kilometers, which is a very long distance. If you are buying a ticket, there is a 25-hour trip, including the transfer opportunity.

So this time Edju spent a lot of money and directly booked a plane to Iceland.

After the charter flight, it only takes about 11 hours to fly from Shanghai to Iceland, which is equivalent to half of the time being shortened.

Of course, the price is not cheap, 1.127 million yuan per way.

If the bag is back and forth, it is cheaper, 2.1 million...

Edju smiled and joked, "Everything is good. If I don't win the championship, I will save a million."

"Yeah? What does it mean?" Viper didn't understand at the first time.

"If you lose, you can swim back, why are you still taking a plane!"

“…”

At 1:00 p.m., everyone boarded the plane quickly, and the special plane lost all the rules and regulations of the previous airlines. Everyone was a little amazed when they looked at the magnificent interior of the plane.

"Wuhu, take off!" Brother Saint Gun made a familiar cry, but this time it really took off.

Even Chen Ye was relieved and happy when he arrived. Every time his family traveled abroad, he just took the first class cabin. This was the first time he chartered the flight.

EDG and his group even had time to sit on the long sofa in the middle and watch the movie.

However, the eleven-hour flight was still a bit difficult. Everyone was very excited at first, but when it came to the end, they should go to bed and play with their phones.

By the time they finally arrived in Reykjavik, the time had already changed to 4:00 pm on April 30, Icelandic time.

Iceland is located in the Greenwich average, that is, the zero-time zone, and the country is the East Eighth District, with an eight-hour time difference between the two places. Therefore, although everyone experienced eleven hours of flight, it actually only took three hours in "local time".

"Brothers, are you okay?" As soon as the landing was approaching, Chen Yifan came to the team members' area and asked, "Do you have any problems with Chen Ye?"

"It's so good!" Chen Ye smiled, "Land quickly, I'm a little sleepy, I can't sleep on the plane."

He hasn't been asleep for fifteen hours now, and he is bored, so he is inevitably a little sleepy.

"Don't be anxious, I'd better wait until night to sleep and adjust the jet lag to avoid problems." Chen Yifan gave a suggestion, but it was not forced. "But if you really want to sleep, it's not bad. Anyway, the competition will not start in a week."

Chen Yifan asked about the other people's situation again and confirmed that there was no problem.

Everyone returned to their seats and prepared, took out their down jackets from their suitcases, and the plane finally entered the final landing stage.

“Welcome to Reykjavík!”

The staff in Iceland were already ready, and a team of white men in spring clothes led EDG to the hotel where the contestants lived.

Chen Ye, who had a short-sleeved + down jacket, looked at the Icelander who was only wearing a thin coat and curled his lips slightly.

Very strong cold resistance...

The engine roared, and a Mercedes-Benz bus carried EDG and his group through the streets of the world's northernmost capital.

Next, the champion team from all regions of the world will compete for a one-month cup competition in this white city.

Chen Ye looked at the snow scene outside the window and looked at the scarce vehicles on the street, sighing that this was really a pretty good city.

Compared to Shanghai, where even if the city is closed, it can be blocked from traffic jams, it is simply too happy.

After checking in at the hotel, everyone in EDG had a light meal in the restaurant, and then started to sleep soundly at 8 pm local time.

This sleep is quite long, lasting thirteen hours.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Chen Ye finally resurrected in full blood.

Chen Ye thought he could sleep, but he found that only one Viper in the whole EDG got up earlier than him...

Chen Ye shrugged, and he simply pulled Viper downstairs to the hotel restaurant for breakfast.

"I don't know what Icelandic restaurants offer to eat." Chen Ye was slightly expectant and chatted with Viper.

The elevator stopped on their floor and opened.

Chen Ye shot his eyes in and was stunned.

He saw a familiar opponent.

Showmaker and Beryl.

I heard from the staff that DWG, oh no, they had already arrived here yesterday, so they obviously had the jet lag.

After this team lost to EDG on the final stage last year, some strange awakening seemed to have occurred. Last year, they were still fighting hard in LCK, but this year they crushed all LCK teams in a kingly manner, as if they wanted to seek revenge on EDG with a strong posture.

Chen Ye and Viper also looked at each other, and they simply walked into the elevator with a swagger. Chen Ye and Showmaker looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
