First time ever saying this about any match, that random doubledink wallbang into dugout cuz he was trying to shoot the dog wtf..
No that's what I expected but EDG actually played far better strat-wise than T1. Just watch the game yourself and you'll see, EDG were actually the ones getting aim diffed on fracture btw. Tarik and TMV did also say EDG were the better team, their chats (most not all) agreed, if you were looking at forums during the game there were tons of posts about EDG being better too and people asking "how does the clearly better team lose" lots of YT comments on the EDG clips etc. And actually I'll give you the sole reason why, its because they cannot spray a spike defuse for shit - if they could btw they would've ended halves 9-3 against T1. Now I thought this was a small problem they could fix, but this has been the consistent reason why they've been losing series ever since they played vs PRX a year ago. CN just not used to playing post plant and for some reason they're not improving at it (though they are at all the other aspects)
Idk didn't watch, I mean all in all if I'm being serious then EDG could've avoided losing to luck if they actually worked on their postplants cause their sprays were never hitting. It was just ridiculous in the moment seeing xeta missing a shot on a skye dog thus wallbang hsing someone in dugout. In the end T1 got pretty lucky in moments while EDG didn't but if they were one of the best teams like FNC etc. then luck wouldn't be enough to beat them - it's just unfortunate that everyone's gonna continue shitting on CN because they haven't won a match even tho it was very close and they've shown insane potential
Isn't enough for what? Being the top 3 teams? Ofc not, I don't think EDG is a top 3 team I just think they deserve to be at Tokyo, there's a lot of people saying they don't deserve it at all but I mean every single match they've played is very close, and also entertaining as hell tbh I mean just think of what the jp crowd thought of kk's plays today (and before you say it, ofc entertaining isnt enough but given they were 12-11 at one point then I think it's a fair point to bring up, ofc it doesnt work for a team who got demolished just cause one of their jetts is popping off)
What i meant was that i see edg and drx in a similar position in that they can't win when it really matters.
And EDG probably don't deserve to be at Tokyo. Despite all the hype, China still has 0 international wins and I think the region probably only deserves 1 team at this point. In this case, that means ASE would go (even though EDG is the better team)
EDG has a far smaller sample size to be fair, this is their 4th international game and they're already making so many improvements - ASE is still far from international level but they were 10-10 with DRX at one point. I really encourage you to watch the T1 game because it really does change your perspective even though I do understand your view. I mean it was the same with fnatic when everyone expected them to be a winner but it just wasn't happening - until they finally won Lock In. Only time will tell.
Lol I can acknowledge that I just posted this as a reaction to the moment xeta got that wb hs kill in dugout cause he missed the shot on the skye dog which was ridiculous. T1 did get lucky but a better team wouldnt have let themselves lose to pure luck, All love - hoping EDG come back strong in lower bracket
