right about that

you think it was worth the internal issues keeping s1mon or would that be just as bad— because honestly personally if im in their shoes i’m cutting my loses and bringing s1mon back

S1Mon not good in this meta anyways, mainly Breach/Kayo player and can also play Fade and stuff. However, considering the fact that EDG already has nobody, this doesn't seem too great of an idea.

tbh the internal issues feel forced AF. I dont think the players actually had any problem with him prior to staff kicking him cuz he snapped back at staff literally making shit up

Their issue is KK refusing to learn Yoru for no reason anyway.

about as much like Yoru as Aspas was

playing the agent and actually learning how the agent should be played are two separate things.

but S1mon was the lazy one trust 😉

Ah yes because S1Mon didn't complain to his viewers on stream and it didn't lead to Smoggy getting doxxed trust.

thank you for letting the outside world know the truth lol ... that simon kid got arrogant and did such things ... if i was in that team, i would prefer losing over a toxic working environment

I just don't get people who say "Bring S1Mon back", that just won't work. The trust is gone, the "team" is gone. They would just be 4 EDG members + S1Mon.

He’s not innocent. He performed at a level that staff found to be underwhelming, refused to improve, slid teammates under the bus, and then crashed out in stream.

excusable no but understandable crashout abso fucking lutely

They start blaming you for issues not trying hard enough while KK refuses to practice at all, especially Yoru in an obvious yoru meta and fuck yeah you're gonna tilt. Team was all arrogant. Doubly staff.

In all fairness it was handled poorly by all sides but I simply cannot accept S1Mon glorifiers who think that EDG would still be much better with him and that dropping him was a mistake.

kangkang practiced it multiple times, i hate this narrative that kangkang didnt try to learn yoru, he is willing to play any agent you want him to play, he played gekko, he played kay/o, he played omen IN INTERNATIONALS he was the first to learn neon properly when it became meta, EDG immediately started using him on waylay when it first released. its not kangkang not trying he just is shit at yoru and has continously been shit at it

Muggle was already their HC during the champs win, they simply lost Haodong who was AC during the run.

They have been struggling, but also people are not totally aware of why. One big issue they’ve had was not necessarily the change to Jieni7, but when. Both times Jieni7 joined the starting roster it happened in the middle of a split, so the team didn’t have time to really work out the comps and coordination. Thus, they look very disjointed sometimes and often on different pages.

I think there’s some reason to be optimistic though. These 3 weeks give the team actual time to work on their comps and coordination, as well as for KK to practice Yoru. Also, Icebox rotating out for Abyss is great, as Icebox was their permaban. Furthermore, Jieni7 can absolutely shoot. I’m not saying I expect them to do super well, but I think they’ll look way more competitive than in split 2.

Really hard to tell but I think they have a decent chance. I think they’re individually skilled enough to beat NRG even if their coordination is not as sharp. TL has also shown to be very inconsistent, so EDG could catch them on a lesser day.

I need them to plop nobody back on full time IGL so CHICHOO can start shooting again.

Im pretty sure Nobody is back to IGL only and now that Icebox is gone they can perma ban Lotus and Abyss was always a good map for EDG

i think they looked bad cuz of the changes they made and having to adjust to them.....they will be good if they get time to prep which they are getting so it can go either way..... i bet they do better than the other chinese teams
