EDG bring on WoodAy1

ChickenJoe

June 16, 2024

EDward Gaming EDward Gaming China Unranked S1Mon Hsien Meng-Hsun (谢孟勋) ZmjjKK Zheng Yongkang (郑永康) nobody Wang Senxu (王森旭) CHICHOO Wan Shunzhi (万顺治) Smoggy Zhang Zhao (张钊) have announced the signing of Lin "WoodAy1" Weihong (林伟宏) ahead of Split 2 of the Chinese League. This roster move also sees Tang "Muggle" Shijun (唐时俊) transition back into a coaching role.

WoodAy1 has had limited exposure to the public Valorant sphere. Before signing with EDG, he competed in Crossfire HD under KingZone Gaming, taking home first in Seasons 3 and 4.

This year's VCT has been underwhelming for EDG. The team continued its regional dominance in both China Kickoff and Split 1, qualifying them for both Masters Madrid and Shanghai. Unfortunately, the squad was only able to pick up a singular win across both international events.

The roster looks to break past their previous results and into the upper echelons of international competition, which may be why the organization chose to sign WoodAy1 so close to Champions. It is unknown who the new talent will sub in for, as the current number of active players on EDG sits at six.

The first foes EDG will face in Split 2 are Wolves Esports Wolves Esports China Unranked V1ya Zhang Ruimin (张睿珉) SiuFatBB Pong Gaa Hei (庞加曦) Yuicaw Huang Yung-chieh (黃湧傑) Spring Liu Jiunting (刘俊霆) aluba Zhong Haojun (钟皓钧) Lysoar Liang Youhao (梁优好) , who managed to take a map off of China's kings during Kickoff. EDG currently sit atop of the Chinese leaderboards at 11 Championship Points. The team simply needs to keep up their form should they wish to qualify to Champions Seoul.

Hopefully these changes bring back the aura that EDG had last year. This year none of them have really good at all except Kangkang and smoggy

rookie that plays flash init and apparently he was doing really well in scrims. could replace haodong cuz their roles overlap and according to tyloo iceking nobody is hard to replace so he prolly replaces someone else

Just guessing here but it might be due to some chemistry related reasons.

Maybe this is the last chance for the coaching team. Somebody says they should change the rosters, and now they are doing it. If it still doesn't work, I think they may change the coaching team next time.

They're trying to get it up and going again but unless we see positive results I can safely conclude that EDG is still done and dusted.
