Recently, as professional players began to qualify in the European server, I visited some message boards and post bars in other international regions such as Europe and the United States, and found that the evaluation of EDG was on the same level as DK. , Even stronger. For example, a recent interview with T1's assistant Keria also indicated that EDG is the strongest LPL team and the peak combat power in the Chinese division. I really don't know if this is pure praise or vigorous praise. Coincidentally, foreign media are generally more optimistic about this year's EDG, especially after watching the LPL summer finals, the strength of EDG against FPX made them think that this team has enough strength to compete for the championship of the global finals.
However, the evaluation of EDG in China is not so exaggerated. It may be due to the influence of historical record, most of which are relatively conservative. The most interesting thing is that EDG is clearly assigned to a weaker group, but some people think that EDG may not be able to qualify. In fact, anyone who has seen the LCK in South Korea and the LCS in North America will know that although T1 and 100T are not bad, they are still far behind EDG. Moreover, the two teams have too many unstable factors and weaknesses. It's not just a day or two for EDG to be unwelcome. If it weren't for winning the summer games, their evaluation would have been worse. To find out the differences in evaluations at home and abroad, we still have to look back at a wave of history!
not very good history
EDG has many scandals after the establishment of the team, this is too long, as far as the old batch of fans may have faded out of the e-sports circle, new Fans may be unheard of, at least seven or eight years ago, it was a sensational event. After the establishment of the team, EDG did quickly become the ruler of LPL, but it stopped in the quarterfinals in the first year of participating in the global finals. In 2015, winning the MSI reached the pinnacle of team history, and then began a long "disappointment journey."
S5 quarterfinals famous diary stalk Fnatic 4-0, S6 quarterfinals famous 4396, S7 quarterfinals famous 10,000 economic comeback high ground showing cards, S8 lost to Fnatic again won the quarterfinals. EDG is indeed the team that has participated the most in the global finals as the LPL No. 1 seed, but at the same time EDG is also the team that has played the worst result as the No. 1 seed in LPL history (the No. 1 seed is the top 16). S9 and S10 EDG failed to participate in the World Championships. If it weren't for the purchase of Korean aid Viper this year and the successful reorganization of , EDG might have been forgotten. Therefore, the poor historical record of the finals is destined to not have much good reputation in China.
LPL audiences’ attitude towards EDG is clear at a glance
Except for EDG’s own fans, LPL audiences’ attitude towards EDG is very clear, and they really don’t like it very much. For example, in the last dining hall of this year, multiple platforms voted on four probability events on S11. As a result, 44.44% of the people who believed that they could not win a Bo5 in the EDG World Championship were ranked first. This means that the audience believes that EDG has the best eight results and the worst sixteen in this year's finals. Because you can't win a Bo5, it means that you are sent home in the first round of the knockout, or you can't even play the knockout, and you are eliminated in the group stage.
The team that puts all their hopes on the Korean aid is not welcome
For star chasers, EDG’s double Korean aid is of course no problem. But for most LPL audiences who don’t follow stars, EDG’s placing all hopes on double C Korean aid is very problematic.EDG is not like FPX. The jungler Tian is a very important key player. Unlike RNG, the top laner is the core of their tactics. What EDG showed in the playoffs was that Scout and Viper could win the game with EDG. After all, the blood C in the two rounds was Ryze and Aphelios won the Xia Guan. This is not an exaggeration.
In the history of LPL, there are not many teams that rely on Korean aid to play in international competitions. In the early years, the royal family had Uzi , the IG who won the S8 had Ning and JackeyLove, and the FPX jungler Tian who won the S9 was FMVP. EDG won the MSI championship in 2015 by relying on Pawn’s wonderful backhand Morgana to target Faker and Deft's various peak operations, and then to the Scout C era, until today it is the double C Korean aid partner combination. . EDG is always the Korean aid that impresses people the most. The top stalk is not for nothing, and the support is also because of a good ADC. No one has forgotten Meiko's first two years because of winning this year. Did you show it? So in general, EDG is indeed a team with too much taste for South Korean aid champion C.
can really win the championship?
Finally, let's rationally analyze the question of whether EDG can win the global finals. It should be said that the evaluation of foreign media is indeed not a big problem. EDG did indeed have a strong lineup of starting players in recent versions, and the players also performed well in the European server rankings. With the strength to win the championship, and the grouping is better, it should be easy to advance to the knockout under normal circumstances. After entering the quarterfinals, it depends on the opponent. With attribute restraint, EDG is not very good at playing fast-paced and fierce teams, especially if the upper middle field is too strong, it will be difficult for them to fight. Mainly mid laner, being able to suppress Scout and make him misfire is the key to defeating EDG.Otherwise, EDG cannot win a Bo5. Judging from the strength of their team, they have the strength to enter the finals. However, in the eyes of LPL viewers, even if EDG is recognized as the only hot in the world to win the championship, there is still a feeling that it will definitely be eliminated. This is the influence brought by history, and it can only be achieved by EDG with practical actions this year. Corrected.
