Two days later.
It was time to set off.
This time, it was not Lex leading the team, but Monica.
Otherwise, it would be a problem to communicate abroad.
Monica was proficient in several languages, so it was most suitable to send her.
The documents to go abroad had been processed.
Everyone took their things and rushed to the airport.
In an hour, more than 40 people appeared at the airport.
These people were dressed in red and white clothes.

When they walked to the airport, they looked very eye-catching.
They were the 40 contestants participating in the competition.
Right now, they were like soldiers who were about to enter the battlefield.
At the same time, in the airport square, there was also a group of people waiting.
These dozens of people were holding banners.
The banner had three words written on it.
‘Esports! Come on!’
These three words were deeply etched in their hearts too.
Although there were only dozens of people who came to cheer them on, it was enough to make them feel warm.
This was the first time they felt this kind of feeling of being supported by others.
The contestants waved to those who supported them and then walked to the airport with red eyes.
They didn’t make any promises, but they made up their minds.
They couldn’t let the people who supported them down.
Not long after, the plane flew across the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
The ‘warriors’ set off on their journey.
After five hours of flying, they finally reached the destination.
Soon, Monica brought the contestants to the official reception area.
The two foreign women were in charge of receiving the contestants.
Monica walked up to them and communicated with them.
“Hello, we are here to participate in the esports international competition.”
After Monica finished speaking, she took out the certificate of participation.
As long as it was a team that had signed up, they would have such a certificate.
The two women in charge of receiving the contestants looked at Monica with surprise on their faces.
They were very confused.
This was not the first time that the esports competition had been held.
Although the competition was open to the whole world, there were at most eight teams allowed from each country.
This was the first time the other side had participated.
After seeing the certificate Monica gave, the two women believed it.
Immediately afterwards, they let Monica complete some formalities and arranged for people to escort them to the competition venue.
Regarding these people’s attitude, Monica did not have too much confidence.
Before long, they were brought to the venue of the competition.
It was about the same size as the esports hall of Kasage University. It could hold more than 10,000 people.
It was indeed a bit shabby to use such a venue for an international competition.
But it wasn’t entirely the fault of the organizers.
Esports couldn’t be compared to sports in the first place.
There wouldn’t be many spectators. 10,000 people were more than enough, as there would be a lot of tickets left each year.
Monica led the contestants to the seats arranged by the organizers.
Although it was their first time participating, the organizers didn’t forget to arrange it.
This was a matter of etiquette.
At this time, many contestants from other countries were also seated on their respective seats.
As soon as Monica appeared with her team, everyone looked over.
Their faces were filled with confusion.
Which country was this contestant from? Why had they never seen her before?
Not long after, the preliminaries began.
The purpose of the preliminaries was to eliminate those weak teams.
There were many contestants participating, and they came from all over the world.
Their strengths were different. There were strong teams and weak teams.
It was because of this that the preliminaries came into being.
Only the truly strong teams could enter the official competition.
There were 400 teams participating in the preliminaries, but only 50 teams could advance.
It could be seen how intense the competition was.
The preliminaries lasted for two days, so there was only one chance to fight.
The winner was decided in one round, not two out of three.
The eight teams were all in the first day of the competition.
Because there were too many teams in the preliminaries, it would not be spread out.
It was very likely that they would not even have the chance to show their faces when they came out to participate in the competition.
In the first match, the eight teams went on stage together.
When the opponents saw that it was all them, the foreign players all smiled.
However, the players of Kasage all had solemn expressions on their faces. At the same time, they all made up their minds to teach those foreigners a lesson.
They had been holding back their anger, waiting for this moment to erupt.
As a result, the eight teams of Kasage University became the first team to end the round.
Before the opponents could react, the round had already ended.
Kasage University’s eruption shocked everyone.
They had never thought that this team, who had never participated in an international competition before, would be able to erupt with such a powerful strength.
By the time Edward returned to his seat, the disdainful gazes around him had all disappeared.
All that was left was shock.
If not for the fact that all that happened in front of their very own eyes, no one would have believed this result.
There were three matches in the preliminaries. Only those who had won all three matches would be able to advance.
For the remaining two rounds, Kasage’s team still won in a crushing manner.
They had successfully advanced to the official competition.
However, it was also from this moment that everyone’s opinion of Kasage’s team changed.
This team had already made a name for themselves.
At Kasage University.
In the President’s office.
Lex was looking at the screen of the competition.
There was no broadcast of the preliminaries, but Lex could see the situation through the surveillance equipment in the venue.
Lex saw the performance of Edward and the others.
Regarding their high-profile performance, Lex only smiled faintly.
The participants of the competition were all university students, so they naturally had pride in their hearts.
Playing games could bring glory to the country. That was not just talk.
When he saw this, Lex turned off the screen.
Then, he opened a website.
This website was the registration website for the previous esports competition.
After modification, it had become an esports exchange website.
All esports enthusiasts could exchange information about the direction of esports here.
Lex posted a message on the website.
“Kasage team, all qualifiers have been promoted!”
