Came back from school to this...
EDG always loses an upper bracket match lmao. Yea they can get knocked out from this tournament but it still wouldn't matter.
EDG is a team that just go on a run when it matters due to how long these players have played w each other and how good they all are. There's probably a bit of a tactical downgrade since Haodong left the assistant coaching role and the meta changes along w map pool changes but have faith in them lol.
That and Trace are actually good, which people would've known had they watched Champs 2024 and saw that the only weakness of Trace was the mappool.
