EDG expectations

#1

Jeffo

So many people ranking them 10-11th in Tokyo, when they are definitely better than some other teams.

EG without lemon1 don't stand a chance against them, they already proved they're better than ASE, and I doubt T1 would beat them.

Let alone the stats and how they dominate games in the region, from eye test only KK is one of the best duelists in the world, top 5-6 in my mind, right there Aspas, Sayf, Derke, something and jingg.

QQ is also a top tier sentinel/smoker, very smart, so consistent and incredibly clutch we saw that in Lock/in, and for people who follow the CN scene they know that QQ is probably the best player in China.

They had very good performances in the past, almost knocked out 100T if KK didn't throw a couple of rounds, which hopefully he won't do this time.

My expectations for them would be 5th-6th, could surprise and go higher.

I can only see Haodong being like the weaker part of this team, but he is their main smokes player. Also is he the IGL? I'm not too sure if he is.

Yeah, Haodong is the IGL and you're right he's their weakest point fragging wise, but that's not a shock cause most IGLs are, the rest 4 are all insane players

Yeah, then that's fine.
Also,
Smoggy is the most impressive for me.
He's been probably the most consistent on this roster since they added him.

He's been great, especially since KK likes Gekko on bind which gives him a map he can play jett on.
But QQ is always the most consistent and clutch player on that time, every big game he shows up big and every clutch he bails them out, let alone that he's top 5 in stats in every tourney playing senti/smokes

Kang Kang on gekko is crazy to me, he frags with him too lol
Also Chichoo is crazy good in clutch situations too. People don't realize how stacked this team is.

First LAN experience, very young players, the group stage was so hard for them with liquid and PRX, and they didn't perform awfully.

I'm actually really nervous for them. I've watched Americas, Emea and Pacific and knew the qualified teams are really fucking bonkers this time and yes even EG without Demon1 makes me nervous cus EG core contrary to what most ppl think are not weak at all 😭

They're weak without a star jett player, they litteraly played dogsht before he was added, KK would destroy them easily

5-6th is copium for a team that hasn’t won an international match yet at the most stacked tournament we’ve ever seen. If I were a CN fan, I’d be happy just to see them make it out of groups.

With the new franchising model, this masters is probably the most high-level tourney yet, but I have hope that EDG can beat some of the 3rd seeds of each region

Im gonna be honest, fuck y’all.
Every fucking time this team comes up you goblin mfs come out the woodworks to claim the divinity of EDG, and then they get cucked out of every match they play.
I don’t believe any of you
