from getting grouped back in Champs 2022 to being grand finalist (and potentially winners) in Champs 2024

one of the best underdog storyline in my opinion

I wonder who had the better underdog story, EG or EDG what do you think?

EG i feel like more people doubted them, EDG has been to international events consistently for two years

a lot of people had edg getting grouped at champs so I guess it depends on where you start

true but to call them underdogs and bringing up a tournament from 2 years ago kinda doesn't seem valid. we considering teams underdogs when they've been to every lan for over a year? thats like calling drx underdogs if they were in finals right now

I think it's not entirely a fair comparison, EDG were invited to all the events before this year, and people were constantly shitting on them for 'wasting' a slot.

But yeah as the other guy said EG winning champs was like mibr winning champs, so they probably take the cake

yeah but edg has made playoffs and beaten good teams in the past so i never doubted them like that

i dont think so we kinda just giving underdog out to everyone, drx would just be a good team that found their form again. by your logic we could consider so many teams underdogs this year because the teams have been very diverse.

heading into champs, EDG had lower expectations after shitting the bed in Madrid and Shanghai. For the actual overall underdog story, obviously EG i mean at some point people were calling them the worst team in franchising lol. EDG has also been hyped for a very long time now.

eg was more impressive literally came out of no where. EDG actually build on what they had and i'm happy they're succeeding.

EDG had the foundation as veteran team, best of their region easily. EG being champ was like Mibr winning champs lmao

personally I prefer this EDG story because I've been watching these guys since they had a perfect run in East Asia LCQ

I feel like EG and GenG's runs were so quick that it didnt allow me to be emotionally invested at the team

imo redemption for bombing in shanghai is the better storyline
