This is the type of random ass series where everyone thinks the team that made controversial roster changes will fold only for them to stomp.
Stew, jkuro, MrCANI, Babyblue, Z1yan is the roster?
Could believe BLG, the scrimbux post yesterday (https://www.vlr.gg/420623/apac-cn-scrimbux-part-2) shows EDG down 4-14 vs someone and BLG up 14-4 vs someone, so...
letting everyone know that Jingdong Gaming is playing today, buy stocks now before the world sees you as a bandwagoner
what core bro there are 2 players left from that roster
Ooh, where was that rumor? The rumors I saw were sword9 replacing YHchen and trials for Lysoar. I imagine they're between hfmi and Lysoar in that case?
blud thinks stew is leaving aintnoway
Lysoar's trying out with like 5 different teams so it looks like FPX is open to letting him go atm
Ok I found a lot of scrim rumors, including the one thejanitor mentions, from latest to oldest rumors:
9.24 - Lysoar & W1nner tryout at BLG
9.23 - YHchen tryout at AG, qiuye tryout at NOVA
9.20 - JDG scrim with Stew/Viva/Z1yan/Lysoar/Sword9
9.19 - sword9 & Lysoar tryout at JDG ||| DRG scrim with Tvirusluke, vo0kashu, nicc, shion7, SpiritZ1 ||| TYL scrim with Ninebody, Eren, slowly, core, unknown 5th.
9.13 - Lysoar tryout at Tyloo.
9.5 - W1nner tryout at FPX ||| Lysoar & SpiritZ1 tryout at DRG
That's all I can find, from Sept 5th to Sept 24th.
its the year of prx (surely will win a bo5 vs an na team this year?)
do prx fans hate something i saw ppl wanting hyunmin earlier in the offseason too
JDG
Fan of the LoL team since 2019, then became a Stew fan during Ascension last year. Shit happened to line up and RA core went to JDG. Year was kinda ass but the roster for Stage 2 was actually good and I hope they can keep everyone for 2025, but especially Stew/Viva/Z1yan.
offseason got me down bad, only one I know is JDG Flex1n, anyone tapped into cn forums who know anything else?
vo0kashu, Rarga, Kr1stal son RA, its so sad 😭
(truth is RA never wins any finals)
I think they'll keep UdoTan considering he's been with the team for so long, even though I think free1ng is less replaceable
replacing z1yan would be extremely stupid so probably yhchen
From what I could gather + remember:
2021 offseason - EDG wins Worlds, Scout wants to return to LCK after, signs a contract with KT Rolster without EDG's knowledge and while still being contracted with EDG. EDG manage to resolve the situation, tell Scout that money isn't a problem and ups his pay, ask that he stays with them until retirement.
2022 offseason - Scout wants to return to LCK again after 22 season, EDG tells him that he can go on the condition he joins a roster that can match his current pay. If I remember right, the rumor for the offseason was that he was joining Hanwha Life Esports, but they eventually decided on Zeka, and the other top teams had mids locked up already, so he didn't return to LCK. EDG supposedly lowered their bid for him since he had not many choices left, but was outbid by LNG and Scout joined them. (This is the part where I'm a bit hazy on because afaik Scout was a free agent at this point so EDG shouldn't really be able to give him conditionals).
2023 - Scout plays with LNG for the year, around Summer playoffs rumors pop up saying EDG is pursuing legal action for his signing of an illegal contract with KT in 2021 offseason. That legal dispute continues today.
2024 - EDG wins the legal dispute and Scout has to pay a fine, but EDG were not satisfied with the punishment and want a second trial, have requested that Scout cannot leave the country during the civil proceedings which is a thing for lawsuits in China, which leads us to where we are now in that Scout may not be able to go to Worlds 2024 unless EDG remove the travel ban.
Said this during the SEN pre-thread where ppl were saying SEN's Sunset record is too good for EDG to let through—Sunset is EDG's best map since Stage 2 and they aren't afraid of anyone on it.
you guys are so boring with this kind of bait like its actually the same kind every time
te win: "one fluke against shitmea"
te win again: "one fluke against lev"
edg win: "fut is shit"
edg win again: "pooperx"
edg win again: "kangkang trace father"
edg win again: "one fluke against sen"
new material pls, also learn how to count it cant always be one fluke forever
Sunset is definitely good for EDG, it's been their best map for all of Stage 2 and they broke PRX's 13 map winstreak on it.
pacific strongest region coming into the event... 1 team in playoffs
u have to be rated highly to be a fraud, everyone had 0 cn teams in playoffs
meanwhile ppl were saying pacific is the deepest or 2nd deepest region
2 teams in playoffs vs 1, sorry g i don't make the rules
loser of edg/prx will decide who the real worst region is
hey man what can you do
SEN/TH finals, only lose to the finalists again
(not cope)
(srsly not cope)
(fpx is good i swear)
bros we cannot go 0-4 in 2 days someone needs to step it up
FPX can win and lose vs any team, I would not be surprised to see them completely troll tomorrow and lose 0-2, also wouldn't be surprised to see them stomp them and win 2-0
wasnt there a plat chat episode like 2 years ago right before champions where they were talking about how edg players were going wild smoking on the balcony lol
FPX are slight favorites, not major favorites like some are saying
SEN will probably be able to steal a good number of rounds from them because FPX love to make the risky play that ruins the entire game
ye, honestly though it's better that BLG won that series bc JDG might not have gotten higher than 4th even if they won vs BLG, and if that happened we'd have DRG at champs which would've been even worse
FPX, Trace, and now EDG look pretty solid so far
BLG looked rough, but overall CN looks much closer to the other regions than they've ever been
EDG 1-2 100T (Lock-In 2023)
EDG 2-0 LOUD (Tokyo 2023)
FPX 0-2 EG (Champions 2023)
BLG 2-0 NRG (Champions 2023)
BLG 2-0 NRG (Champions 2023)
EDG 1-2 EG (Champions 2023)
EDG 1-2 LOUD (Champions 2023)
I believe this should be it
---
edit: also the following games
FPX 0-2 LOUD (Madrid 2024)
EDG 0-2 LOUD (Madrid 2024)
I don't think it's an upset, but for some reason I have a feeling about EDG this tournament
everyone is expecting them to choke again that I think they might end up having a respectable performance
also team looks solid with s1mon
?
why is simp4s0m talking like a normal person
whats happening
they got reverse swept by fpx
also trace's problem is that when their plan stops working they run out of ideas
as long as their plan is working they can compete with the best
EDG and TE can make it
BLG is a bad team that had no chance
FPX can but their group makes it more unlikely than likely
they're the real 2nd seed, don't worry apac fans, drx fluked finals
copium
one team region just like the rest of the world
