In the afternoon of the same day, the four teams that advanced came to Keflavik International Airport and headed to Paris, the semi-finals venue.

Although Iceland and France belong to Europe, the distance between the two capitals can be said to be quite far away, with a length of 2,062.32 kilometers and a direct flight of three and a half hours.

Chen Ye entered Jaylen's concert on the plane, bored and flipped through his phone.

At this time, Shanghai was late at night, so there was no one to chat with him.

Obviously, foreign love is so painful.

Chen Ye couldn't help but wonder if Jiang Yingrou went to study in Cambridge City, then would the time difference between the two places be so painful?

He threw away the thoughts in his mind and opened a good movie. The movie was the director's version of Justice League, which lasted four hours, and it just fitted the length of this flight.

By the way, I asked the flight attendant for a portion of potato chips and water. This short flight trip was quite perfect!

"What are you looking at?" The Holy Gun brother next to him suddenly turned his head and grabbed a handful of potato chips from Chen Ye's hand.

"You won't want it yourself, right?" Chen Ye glanced at Brother Saint Gun, but he didn't say much and continued to join the movie.

Wonder Woman is so beautiful...

...

On the other side of the ocean, time slowly passes.

Shanghai time, 8 o'clock.

A golden ray of sunlight pierced the curtains and gently spread on the girl's eyelids.

The temperature in Shanghai was no longer low in late May. Jiang Yingrou felt a heat and opened her eyes slightly.

In a daze, she glanced at the time on her phone and suddenly became energetic.

Now at 8 o'clock in Shanghai time, isn't it... at 1:00 in the morning? (Paris belongs to the East District, with a seven-hour time difference)

Jiang Yingrou curled her lips slightly, and she quickly picked up her phone and sent a message to the person on the other end.

【morning!】

...

At this time, Chen Ye had already got off the plane and checked into the hotel by taking the bus arranged by Fist.

It is now 1:00 a.m. in the local area of ​​Paris. Chen Ye was sitting on the bed in the hotel and was about to fall asleep. He smiled after seeing the news.

He first sent out a row of ellipsis in front of a dog, and then typed.

【.... Early Early】

【You got up so early today?】

The news from the other side was also replied very quickly, [I have to go to school today, so I have to get up early]

【I have been wanting to eat Haiqiang's eel silk noodles for a long time, and I can finally go back to school】

【Departure of Wuhu!】

Chen Ye couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the last Wuhu.

Obviously, the other party has also been infected with Teacher Ma's virus.

As for the Haiqiang, he opened a noodle restaurant near the Fudan student dormitory, which is quite famous among students in the South District.

Chen Ye smiled and joked with the other party again, and not long after, the sound of Chen Yifan knocking on the door and checking his bedroom came outside the door.

[I have to sleep] Chen Ye typed, [It's time to go]

He sent out a few messages and thought about it, and then added another sentence.

【Good night】

This time, the news from the other side was very slow to reply and was in the editing state, but after editing for a long time, only two words came out.

【...Good night】

...

The city of Paris is actually quite beautiful.

The 324-meter-high Eiffel Tower stands in the center of Paris. This tower, which has lasted for more than two hundred years, still symbolizes the magnificent revolution in France.

Notre Dame Cathedral, which was burned by a fire two years ago, is still under intense restoration at this time, and the progress is extremely slow, so it is impossible to tell what has been repaired, showing the outside world what French speed is.

There are countless scaffoldings outside Notre Dame, and some devout believers are praying nearby.

But all this has nothing to do with EDG.

The semi-finals are about to come, and everything is about the game.

The next day, except to familiarize yourself with the semi-finals venue, the rest was training.

The venue for this semi-final is the Accor Hotel Stadium in Paris, France. This stadium is of great significance to the LPL, because S9's FPX held their Summoner trophy in this stadium.

C9 mid lane happy boy A P also won the runner-up in this gym, so he posted a special Twitter job on the same day, saying that they wanted to win this time.

Of course, FPX's official recommendation also quickly returned a "?", which caused laughter from countless viewers.

Want to win? It's very blue!

As for the training competition, in the past few days, the four teams have played arrangements and combinations, and there are many games in various training competitions.

But several teams also knew in their hearts that the game was about to begin, and it was impossible for everyone to use any real strength.

...

Time soon came May 22nd.

MSI has officially entered the hottest knockout stage!

At one o'clock in the afternoon, cheers finally rang out at the Accor Hotel Stadium!

The official Riot arranged for vehicles to pick up four teams into the venue.

"Damn, there are quite a lot of people?" Meiko looked at the audience on the sidelines and nodded with satisfaction, "This is how I feel like an MSI!"

Although Iceland is also in Europe, Gada is really too remote, resulting in the audience not being full of the entire time.

But this time it's different.

France is a city with a relatively strong e-sports atmosphere. In addition, the location is good, and fans from many small European countries around have flocked in to watch this mid-season feast!

Moreover, this venue is also a veritable giant arena. There are 60,000 spectators on three sides of the field, and the seats are full. At first glance, there is a sea of ​​people, and the sound waves are also coming to the face!

"That's right." Abu nodded, "I used it to play the S final two years ago. Now it's a pity to play in the MSI semi-finals."

"And this hasn't started yet." Abu smiled and said, "There is no European team today, but we are just playing against North America, so in theory, the cheers tomorrow should be even stronger."

"But, the European team should not be able to reach the final."

After hearing this, Chen Ye nodded with a smile. He glanced at the stage and looked at the next game.

This is a perfect dream place. You can see your performance all over the world. Countless LOL players are eager to fight for the gods on this stage!

What Chen Ye has to do is to defeat the enemy and win the championship.

...

"Ladies and gentlemen!" The European and American loud voice host roared in his maximum voice, "Welcome to the Accor Hotel Stadium!"

On the stage, as the host's voice burst out, countless dry ice sprayed out at the same time, and several huge white air waves covered the audience's sight below!

"The knockout stage of the 2021 mid-season championship game will officially start!"

"First of all, let us welcome the four participating teams throughout the game. First of all, please invite the top MSI competition, Edward Gaming!"

"Let's go, I'm on stage!" Abu patted the last Meiko's butt, "Be more handsome, you're watching."

After hearing this, Brother Sheng Gun rubbed his face, put on a look of contempt for all living beings, and then slowly walked onto the stage.

"They are the first MSI champions and the global champions last year! After several changes in the version, they are still at the forefront of the world!"

Since there is no host team today, fans on the field are mixed with each other, almost most of them are supporting EDG, and they are directly in a boiling position!

Abu stood behind the stage and looked at the scene and nodded with satisfaction.

This is the first time that EDG enjoys the voices of away spectators during away games.

Now, EDG is the most famous LOL team in the world! It is even the most famous e-sports team!

Immediately afterwards, the host invited DK, MAD, and C9 to the stage in order.

Chen Ye saw Ah P in a long distance. He was originally a European and he returned here as if he had returned home, waving his arms vigorously to the audience.

Four teams fought against each other, and the brief opening ceremony began soon.

The opening awareness did not delay too long this time. The host introduced four teams in turn, and the time came to 2:00 pm.

Today's official competition begins soon.

The two teams, DK and MAD, collapsed and returned to the hotel directly, while EDG and C9 stayed to play the first semi-final match.

The contestants on both sides sat on the contestants' seats for equipment debugging and preparation, and the DJ on the spot began to play exciting drums.

In the live broadcast room, it was the turn of the commentator to make efforts.
