Their exciting because their a team most people have never heard of from a region that has dominated other esports. They beat northeption and swept onslayers and the opportunity to scrim eu teams will be a massive benefit. I dont think they have a chance of winning but their definitely a dark horse to go deep
EDG are basically the ZETA of Champions. People are excited to see them play, they're cracked and they're from a region that has yet to prove themselves on the international stage, plus I don't think anyone will be able to prepare for how they play. That, plus ZmjjKK >>>SkMidssi and they're a team everyone expects to do good.
bruh the post is literally

Gotta be honest tho, i think many viewers hoped that GE do what EDG did. Especially in FPS where CN and India hasn’t prove anything much but they were going strong in their own region and went to the LCQ where they need to prove themselves against other more established region. EDG showed up but on the other hand GE didn’t (well they did win against DWG for 1 series but flopped against PRX)
Their playstyle is what makes them super interesting and what has caught the eye of alot of people. Also due to the fact that they didnt drop a single map or series in LCQ. I just worry with all the noise they've made teams playing them will anti-strat the shit out of them. I also worry about some of their team comps on maps especially the double duelist comps. I worry they'll run into an EU team that will work them, but lets see, I have high hopes.
I dont think losing 13-4 on Ascent to PRX was close. I think the Fracture game was alot closer but again, they couldnt close it out or push it to a map3.
The FPX game was a 3 map series and the only close map was Ascent. The other 2 maps were 13-3 GUILD's way & 13-4 FPX's way. I wouldnt say that was a close series at all...
In my own opinion: Don't expect them to win Champions. Not in their first year. However, they are really, really, entertaining. Their playstyle is disruptive. Controlled aggression like how PRX does it, but they infused it with some top-notch Chinese aggression. They tend to overheat and throw rounds but their mental fortitude is strong (literally their closest call was a 21-19 win in a 9-0 tournament streak.) APAC teams usually scrimmed against them, and APAC teams speak highly of them. They have a reason to be feared, and literally if you don't respect EDG, they'll run you over.
100% agree, keen to see these guys play against EMEA teams and see how EMEA reacts to their playstyle. I know it's very similar to PRX but it seems ALOT more aggressive and with alot of flair. Watching zmjkk just getting multi frags after multi frags is awesome to watch. Definitely a team to watch come Champs.
fantastic fundamentals 90% of the time but 10% absolute individual inting (zmjkk is generally the culprit) that sometimes works
very mechanic-intensive playstyle that is generally utility deficient, they rely on taking 1v1 duels to get into sites often. The players are all incredible shots, so they will win a lot of these duels. on defence you'll see them push extremities and main lanes very often to force the enemy team react (and often make mistakes) or take duels which is their forte. interestingly, there's often more utility here than on their retakes or execs.
imo they feel like a Masters 3 Gambit that plays PRX-style-esque comps.
