smoggy gets hyped because people have cute bias
kangkang gets hyped because people have duelist and aggressive playing bias
chichoo doesnt get hyped because hes chubby and plays anchor but this guy was the best of all at champs
chichoo champs mvp in my book. their two most important map wins (lev abyss map 3, heretics lotus map 3 imo) were won by chichoo carrying
The reality is all 5 players of edg are beasts. they all had highlight moments in that final. idk how edg do it but they have the best 5 players in china. I mean it in terms of just overall consistency in their roles. EDG as an org definitely done a lot of tryouts/tests with their line ups to reach this point.
At the end of the day, Valorant is a team game, and everyone on EDG performed to a degree that would merit some reward. S1mon had his crazy clutch on Lotus, CHICHOO had his crazy ace on Lotus, KK had a killer performance all around, dropping 111, nobody pushed them on Abyss to their defender side pistol round, and Smoggy had a pretty crazy 4k against PRX on Lotus with the sheriff.
