EDG’s Situation Is a Mess Right Now

#1

smoggymom

As an edg fan im honestly quite worried about the current situation. Based on rumors in the cn commu, it looks like they’re switching from "zjc to jieni". I really don’t understand why they won’t just stick to one lineup this constant swapping is wrecking the team’s chemistry. And seriously, what is M0ggle even doing? He just seems like a coach who got lucky with that champ title…I honestly don’t understand why the team still refuses to hire a foreign analyst to help with strategy. I don’t know if it’s ego or something else. Of course, I’d love to see a new coach, but I know that might be difficult—so at the very least, I really hope they bring in a foreign analyst to help build a solid game plan.

ps.srry to everyone who read through this long, probably pointless rant—i just had to get it off my chest lmaoooo
zjc>>jieni https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1KkgpzJEdx/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click&vd_source=0d2bff4d750def972dde8fb77556950c
I just hope they’d try scrimming with Jieni only this day, while still keeping zjc as the main lineup.

Nah ZJC should still be in the starting lineup, they are going through role changes currently, ZJC has been playing a ton of yoru, We just have to wait till the tyloo game to see what new comps they have cooked

surely you ought to realize that poor management and coaching is clearly at fault at this point. a former player who have been on the team for less than a year can not be the 'root cause' of everything

cause the whole situation was like all four of them and the coach just kicked him so easily. idk that much of the situation but doesn't it seem like he was teamed on.

get slowly and this team will feed generations, legit guy plays init and can play duelist, so they can run double duelist comps in certain maps

Smoggy is getting wasted in edg imo. He can still play duelist & deserves better paycheck..

Unlike chichoo smoggy isnt really top 3 smokes player in cn..

hfmi is good. He is playing off role.. Mostly played sent & duelist for 1 & half years..

Perma ini is difficult for players like that. Even free1ng numbers are bad on ini now

EDG need to adapt to the meta, they still have no one that can play Yoru. However, even in map where Yoru isn't meta, they look like they can't get their team chem together.

i have been saying this ... muggle is a bad coach ... not decent just straightup bad ... bro has no ideas or reads on the meta and has no control over his team whatsoever ..... its so obvious to notice that EDG won champs based on After's blueprints

Unfortunately, in China's current internet environment, the public opinion and pressure from haters towards EDG are beyond imagination. Because EDG's players are bound by live-streaming contracts, they have to go live even after devastating losses. As you can imagine, countless people flood in to insult them—some even attack the players' families. The most absurd part is that some cheaters even sniped kk during his streams. Under these circumstances, I believe it's impossible for them to return to their 2024.(Also,m0ggle need to go XD)

I think EDG gets the most hate, but XLG isn’t far behind, followed by BLG. For EDG and BLG, it’s mainly because of League of Legends—most of the haters are LoL fans, and only know how to talk trash online.
As for XLG, most of the hate they receive stems from two things: first, the team communicates in English instead of Chinese, which rubs some people the wrong way. Second, there was a post-match interview where their coach made remarks that, from the perspective of Chinese netizens, sounded like he was blaming the newly joined midlaner, midi.（midi cant speak english）
Of course, some EDG and BLG fans also dislike XLG simply because XLG eliminated their favorite teams in the competition. XD

Dropping smoggy for jieni is the most dumb decision imaginable. Smoggy is a key player for edg. Without smoggy edg wont win anything
