Why are so many people sleeping on EDG?

Many are predicting that EG are going to win. I don't understand, I thought it was a 50-50 match up. But many think a EG 2-0 EDG. So no risk of upset. (After what Billibilli did to NRG 2 times)

Because EDG isn't good?

equally as many are predicting an upset
are you mad that people want the teams they support to win?

Because EDG isn't good?

meyournightmare will clear this dogshit level of bait, you have levels to cross rn

2-0

Because EG was 2nd and edg was 6th? So eg is the favourite here

Idk either. I feel like it will be a close match and EDG winning it should not be considered an upset

I think it's just a bit of a matchup nightmare for EDG.
Demon and Jawg have been an insane one two punch for them. Ethan has some of the cleanest util usage in the game. And if boostio and come keep fragging, it's hard to see it going any other way.

But this is especially telling when you look at the map veto. EDG love fracture, however EG is the most dominant fracture team in the world. Looking at the rest of EDG's map pool, EG has them beat on everything but Lotus.

Brooo who tf is underestimating edg , don't make shit up or bait

Go read the comments, the entire Asia and eu is already shitting on eg, everyone and their mom has edg winning in their pick ems, even the biggest NA biased sean fucking gares has edg winning... even TMV tooo

Ur team has one of the biggest clout now and now what do u want??? A victim card holyyyy

I'll be honest I think eg is favor in this match up. Why ? Eg has like a week worth of prep for edg. They also placed higher and it's not like they're mechanically bad or tactically bad either. The only way edg has of beating them is literally all 5 players on form and also playing their best game. It's not an easy match up for edg at all imo. Even scrimbux favor eg.

Don't you think it's EG's fault. Disrespecting whole china region, saying NA is far better. EG wants to be a villain type team and throwing non sense in interviews. People are not supportive EDG because they like the team, they are supporting them to win to show EG that never underestimate anybody. Moreover if they really wanted to be the villains , they should have straight enough to hold the comments they get. Not cry about it.

Bro it's not the entire EG squad, it's boostio and he took back his word even after defeating fpx but the reporters or anyone on the site dosn't talks about it , it's just to keep that forced rivalries and demon1 shoots everyone's body not just china and let's don't act like kang kang bandwagons are any less ...
Even before all the trash talk..
Edg cloud especially kang kang bandwagons>>>> eg clout( tbh they don't even have a proper clout and were clowned by everyone more than any china team during the beginning of the season) u don't know half the shit they went through during the beginning

And tbh everyone is on the edg bandwagon and wants them to win not just this game but the entire thing, it's the truth...kang kang is a showmen and edg has gained one of the biggest clout from that, it's not just people who hate eg ...edg has a fan base

Maybe that is because EG was the runner-up of Masters Tokyo while EDG was more like a black horse and they need more victories to prove their strength. However, I believe they have chance to win EG, and I hope EDG can make a further breakthrough in this Champions.
