why jieni7 is playing instead of simon

KangKang has a pretty serious wrist injury, I would assume thats why he was on Iso on split instead neon who requires more wrist movement. If the wrist injury gets worse u could expect smoggy to take over the duelist role and jieni back on smokes (He played smokes in national qualifiers)
Jieni is owning in scrims right now
EDG is trying to train a top level flex player like jieni, hes not just a flash initiator like simon, instead he creates more flexibility for the team
