WOL was trialing FPX Lysoar and JDG YHchen and JDG jkuro
BLG Flex1n trialing at XLG (The ascension team that ascended) [Also Flex1n is technically "lent" to BLG], and Flex1n most likely left BLG

FPX Lysoar trialed at DRG and JDG and the teams mentioned above
FPX is trialing ZiXuan (Former FPX sub and a player for CCG in 2024 CN ascension), if he joins he will replace lysoar on controller
In scrims and trials of DRG DRG replaced DRG nizhaoTZH with SpriritZ(A player that played in HK/TW challengers league and a DRG "Academy member" )
DRG was trialing AG bunt (AGs controller player)
ZYG Slowly (A player that played for TYLOO and recently ZYG in the 2024 CN ascension) is rumored to be promoted to the main roster of TYLOO (Not sure who he will be replcing, most likely Scales or coldfish by his agent pool)

Majority of the matches he underperformed in are either dominant wins from their opponent or games after his switch from controller ---> Initiator

Dawg he was an assistant coach. Haodong was never that impressive as a player.

Haodong wasnt "impressive" if you compare him to the other EDG players but he was an IGL for them and he was pretty decent

Right, and let's ignore the fact that EDG suddenly got better after he stepped down

The switch of meta from double controller to double initiator? Are u going to ignore that fact?

He was their IGL though. You don't just remove your IGL because of a meta shift.

nobody was a capable IGL that was already second calling for his team. smoggy has fire power that couldnt be matched in china so the logical decision was replacing the smokes igl -> intiator player

I mean yeah, that is indeed the logical play.

had nobody not been a capable igl, they wouldve most likely removed smoggy or just keep forcing him on intiator

I don't think Haodong was ever an excellent player but the fact is he lead his team to win 7 regional grand finals and made playoffs at a LAN 2 times. He really fell off earlier this year and EDG's entire playstyle was just a mess until muggle and S1mon stepped in. I think there's a chance for Haodong to provide value to a struggling team like TEC at least.

Oh, don't get me wrong, Haodong is a solid pick up for other teams in the league. I just don't see him as some sort of instrumental figure for EDG's win at Champs.

I agree with u but there are pretty trustable news that Haodong told Smoggy to play clove on Lotus and thats why they were so good on lotus

That's like saying Sentinels got better the second they replaced Pancada with Zellsis means Pancada is horrible, in what world is Zellsis > Pancada?

#26

Difference is that Haodong was the IN GAME LEADER for EDG. Neither Zellsis or Pancada were calling. Zellsis just vibed better with the team, but they didn't change leadership or anything.

Haodong, on the other hand, was calling for EDG, and it sure as hell looked fucked earlier in the year for the team.

EDG calling looked fucked cuz they didnt trust their own strats and tried to change too many things at once

Haodong was the reason they were losing their games as well

because of his capability to frag on anything but his main role

played like shit against fpx and geng on his main role. that loud game was a disaster for EDG so i wont hold that against him. but even earlier in the year against DRX at Ten he wasnt very good. he can only frag on controller but even then he wasnt a very good fragger. Completely shit the bed against loud at champs in 23, and personally I thought he was their worst player even then

"Confirmed" in ur words is hearing Haodongs laughter and coughing in TEC players stream

There are no news of him actually joining the team and he might just be there for a trial or a friendly reunion with some of the players (Abo was at EDG)

You're missing a few trials here:

Fpx trialed multiple players to replace lysoar including hfmi, w1nner, minato. The latest trial was yosemite.

Flex1n trialed for multiple teams including xlg, wolves

Jkuro trialed for blg and wolves too

Lysoar also trialed for tyloo

Wolves trialed yhchen and lysoar yesterday
