i need my radiant nerd analysts to tell me their opinions on how good EDG are. sure they won both their maps and they looked amazing firepower wise, but what about their strats? is going 18-16 on two maps concerning or no? i really want EDG to win back to back but im worried the OT games are concerning

Do you miss easy spams for fun too?
Lucrix [#6]im sorry i fat fingered it😭
Ok jokes aside I'm pretty sure they're fine.
Pearl is arguably G2's best map (or maybe Abyss) and EDG were the first to push them that far, I saw a very noticeable difference in G2's setups against specifically EDG - G2 usually really likes assigning specific positions/roles that players must follow e.g. Trent play in secret and stay alive, use this and that util at this moment etc. etc. However against EDG they played far more loose because EDG don't give them any respect whatsoever and could push that person if they are alone and ruin G2's plans of playing 'perfect valorant' You'll notice that G2 actually needed some hero plays to win rounds as well - something they don't usually need. As for EDG their pearl isn't even one of the best maps so it's quite promising that they did that already, the crazy shit that each player can pull off is insane and though some argue you can't keep doing that consistently they kinda do (clutching). If they work a bit more on set strats it's looking great
As for TL I heard other people & analysts say their split is also their best map or at least one of their best coming into Bangkok. I haven't watched them enough to judge it myself because they just pull out the glue regardless at times (OT of split) but the first 2/3 of Split looked fine from them tbh I thought they weren't playing badly at all.
Regardless though, EDG's haven, fracture and lotus are all extremely good.

thank you so much for this. i wasn't really expecting a real answer. you've given me more courage in locking in EDG as the winners of bangkok
Ullyr [#13]I'm an edg glazer been glazing them for 3 years. Can confirm this is the highest they been. Mental way too good, map pool way too strong. I feel like they know they're better when they play.
my goat ullyr. ive been a fan of them ever since champs 2022
EDG has two S tier maps up their sleeves haven and frac, and teams havent seen their haven in swiss, their pearl is getting better day by day with kk mastery over yoru increasing rapidly,They literally have the best mental out of all the teams,Then you have to count in edg firepower and stuff, so like edg looks really strong right now and the most likely to win the trophy
