Junior high school geography knowledge, in BJ, if you drill a hole into the center of the earth, there are South American cities directly opposite. From this, you can see that the geographical distance between Shanghai and Rio de Janeiro is very far.
Therefore, most airlines will make one or two transfers before landing at the destination.
In this way, the whole journey can be described as long.
It took a total of one day and two nights. Meixia and her teammates boarded the plane on the night of the 3rd and arrived in Shanghai in the early morning of May 5th, Shanghai time.
However, the Rio de Janeiro time zone is 11 hours behind Shanghai, so it was the evening of the 4th when we stepped out of the cabin.
The place is backed by mountains and close to the sea, and it is the autumn and winter season in the southern hemisphere. Although Brazil has a savanna climate with high temperatures all year round, the evening breeze blows on your face, and the temperature you feel is still much lower than that of the Magic City in midsummer.
Mei Xia's suitcase was being checked in. Fortunately, she had prepared a jacket before traveling and stuffed it into her small backpack. She was unzipping it and pulling out a corner of the jacket.
"Please keep warm! We have just been on a plane for 24 hours and our bodies are weak. Don't catch a cold." Coach Abu walked in front and reminded, "That Zhao Zhiming, put your coat on Mei Xia quickly!
"
“okok!
"
Zhao Zhiming, who had been transferred to Mei Xia's bodyguard, came over and helped her take out her coat and put it on her body.
Don't mention it, although Ai Luoli can't even hug her thighs in competitions, her thigh-hugging skills are really good in life. She hugged the factory director until she became an edg prince, and now she is very good at being a dog.
"Zhao Zhiming, you are easy to handle." Mei Xia skillfully handed him the good guy card.
No, it's a good dog card.
After rubbing her round thighs, which were a little numb after a long flight and the sea breeze, she left Loli, who was still dazed in place, feeling the breath on her hands, and walked out of the airport facing the morning glow.
Riot Games has arranged a pick-up guide locally, but there are still very few talents who are proficient in Portuguese and Chinese. This mixed-race person communicated with the team's translator in English.
After listening to the chatter for a few words, he waved everyone to a bus, got on the bus, counted the number of people, and then the bus started.
Since Rio de Janeiro just hosted the Summer Olympics in 2016, it is said that a lot of the infrastructure built at the time was quickly abandoned. However, the transportation facilities from the airport to the city center are still in good condition, and Olympic mascots can be seen painted on the road from time to time.
billboard.
The newly repaired highway was in good condition, and the vehicles drove smoothly. After more than an hour of riding, we finally arrived at the bustling area of the city.
After getting off the car and walking around a beautiful green belt, you will find the hotel arranged by Riot Games.
It was already past seven o'clock in the evening. Mei Xia and her teammates hurriedly had dinner in the hotel cafeteria. They didn't care whether it was Chinese food or not. They just took the Brazilian barbecue burrito and stuffed it into their mouths.
Halfway through the meal, I happened to bump into a player from the G2 team who was staying in the same hotel and came down to eat.
Summer and G2 are not familiar with each other, and they only met in two rounds in the last Mid-Season Invitational group stage.
However, Perkz has a familiar personality and greets me from a long distance away.
"Hello! mika!" Still using broken Chinese.
"Hello, perkz-senpai." Mika replied in Japanese English.
Then, with the help of the translator next to him, it took half a minute for the two of them to communicate effectively.
In short, perkz has a deep memory of the last MSI match. He lost miserably in the group stage, but that time because the factory director hadn't gotten sick yet, he only thought that Mika's teammate was very strong, but he didn't feel how powerful Sakura was in the lane.
, evaluated as justsoso (that’s it).
And this time he came to the World Championship to prove that he is the best mid laner in the world.
How can I put it this way, Miha treated Perkz’s regional trash talk while eating a burrito as a classic G2 joke, and just nodded in agreement.
Finally, the two took a group photo.
Perkz's familiar performance, when he returned to his teammates, made his European teammates give a thumbs up. After all, not everyone is a social terrorist like King P. This young G2, the other four
Personally, I am quite shy.
"Okay, you don't know a word of Chinese, how dare you go there and ask for a photo!"
"Show me the group photo! Mika is so cute!"
"They have translators who work there, so it's easy to communicate!" perkz looked at the group photo on his phone and smiled crookedly.
"Fake, I want to ask for a photo too!"
When the g2 assistant wanted to replicate the steps of the p emperor asking for a photo, he turned around and saw that Sakura Girl had already finished dinner and went upstairs.
She was indeed very sleepy after the long journey. After Meixia was full, she turned on her cell phone to report to her parents and sister that she was safe, and then she lay down on the hotel bed and fell asleep.
Sleep until the next morning.
After washing up and changing clothes, I received a notification from coach Abramovich. Then I went to the training room arranged by Riot Games and logged in to the Brazilian server super account granted by the official.
During the entire msi period, participating players can only compete in the Brazilian server. In the training matches, due to the ping value, they can only compete with the same participating teams and a few North American teams with good relationships.
It can be said that as long as we can maintain the status of the LPL playoffs in the next opening game, it will be considered a success!
Everyone first played two games on the Brazilian server to warm up, and then played the scheduled training match.
The opponent in the first training match came from American Summer's former club dfm. This year's MSI also set up a play-in tournament in addition to the main game, and it was also an offline match in Brazil, but the competition venue was arranged in the city of Sao Paulo, which was far away.
The play-in competition has just entered the knockout stage these days.
Originally, according to LJL's level, it was impossible for DFM to invite EDG to play a training match, but Abramovich accepted the invitation to the training match for Sakura Girl's sake.
After entering the game, Yutapon, the veteran captain, started typing frantically to say hello.
"Mika-chan! Brother, I finally fulfilled my promise and will meet you at the World Championships!"
Yutapon is confident in saying this. Now it has entered the knockout stage, and after the last game between tsm and gam, tsm won, so dfm, which was assigned to the second half, will first face the lms division fw team, and the winner will advance
, and even if you lose the game, you still have a chance to decide the final promotion spot with gam.
It's like having resurrection armor.
But in Mi Xia’s opinion, don’t set the flag so early, let’s wait until the finals are over!
Which one is easy to mess with, gam led by levi, the wild king of the Vietnamese division, and fw, led by Karsa, the pinnacle of the LMS division?
"I just got it! I'm waiting for the seniors in Rio de Janeiro!" However, the flag raised by the old captain has nothing to do with Mixia. Even if dfm loses, it is just a revenge buff for himself in the main game, so there is no loss.
The result of that day's training match was naturally edg tulle dfm.
Then in the qualifying round that day, dfm lived up to expectations, defeating fw 0-3.
Two days later, in the final game of the qualifying round, dfm once again lost miserably to gam. The plot almost replicated that of last year's World Championship qualifying round, where they missed the last ticket to Rio de Janeiro.
After two bo5 games, even though this is the record that DFM should have with its strength, the domestic audience in Tokyo broke through the defense in large numbers.
Mika has already won the world championship, but the strongest team in ljl can't even make it to the main game. The gap is too huge...
In the past few years, there may have been a few fanatical LJL viewers who believed that Mika had betrayed the competition. Now that they have realized the level gap, they all basically believe that Mika's decision to go to LPL for further study is the most correct choice.
[It’s time to rely on mika to avenge ljl again! 】
[fw and tsm wait in the group stage, Japan’s number one mid laner Mika will take over the determination of his brothers and move forward!]
[Come on DFM World Championship! There is still Mika-chan leaving footprints waiting for you to chase!]
However, I lost my dfm entry ticket, but the bus tickets and auditorium tickets are still very cheap.
As a rich woman, Miha arranged train tickets and auditorium tickets for her old teammates, and invited them to come to Rio to buff herself.
