Raiden Ei, the Raiden Shogun of Inazuma and Electro Archon, easily dispatched Keqing 3461-2665 to advance to the semifinals of the 2022 International Saimoe League Genshin Impact Tournament. "A straightforward assignment," Ei said. "It will be an honor to win this tournament because I know what I am capable of, as history has shown for centuries. I thank Keqing for the encounter and wish the Yuheng well on her ongoing projects in Liyue as she has done a magnificent job giving her all for her country."


Ei's next challenger is Ayaka Kamisato, the Shirasagi Himegimi and sister to Ayato Kamisato, the Yashiro Commissioner. A 3934-2124 win over Zhongli, the Geo Archon and de facto leader of Liyue as Rex Lapis, sent a strong message to the Shogun. "Her banner rerun may be occuring right now, but I know full well that nothing is given, all victories must be earned," Ayaka said. "I may come into the semifinals as a decisive underdog, but if I have faith and know that my brother believes in me no matter what...I will have the power to surprise. So I will do my best to the end."
