That's the wildest thing I've ever seen what in the hell is that

What a story man

DRX = DRX 💀

bro if they don't give them that many slots then only one other team from CN is gonna improve internationally?? The only reason why EDG has achieved what they have at tokyo is because they were given the international exposure that many opposed

Deffos team didn't even qualify for LCQ

Knew from East Asia LCQ last year

Us OG EDG fans have always known

this aged well

Tbh EDG looked awful in their first game vs T1. Lots of spike defuse sticks through smokes and lucky plays for T1

Me! I've been a fan since just before their East Asia LCQ run

nah no way

I swear pacific has been the only region to not hate that much on EDG (before tokyo)

Government didn't allow any games to be released for a while

Not sure why anyone was ever hating on Fnatic. Large majority of people think they're a top team I think

how is this even fair?

It's fair because the government there only approved the release of Valorant in China this january

It's fair because Riot has only been giving China chances to compete internationally since last Champs

It's fair because they're the only country in the world who is 3 years behind in experience

even their game vs PRX after they qualified to champs was close af too

HELL YEAH WE THE OG EDG FANS

Let's be real, EDG was always a good team and it was obvious only if you watched their matches. People only seeing their stats and the fact they've not won don't realise how close their matches are and some of the great plays they make

Gotta love the sportsmanship from TL and how highly they thought of EDG. Even nats thinks EDG are great team and can make a deep run in lower bracket

Wait you might be right watching this rn he is really biased against EDG wtf

Nah sideshow the goat caster

EDG has always been a good team, even back when they played against PRX and 100T. Not a cinderella run imo.

Fax, wasn't expecting to hear this from a Liquid flair. Studying the enemy are we ;)

No my point was that they do use strats, maybe not as much vs NAVI but their game vs T1 was an excellent display of a more tactical style

Sliggy had said that if the names were taken away he'd think EDG were NRG with the way they were midrounding and manipulating the rotates. But yeah, we'll have to see. I see EDG vs Liquid as a 50/50 imo.

Although EDG do have insane mechanics, dont misunderstand them as a strat-less team. In fact Sliggy breaks down their playstyle here and they have incredibly good midrounding on par with NRG, their attacks are very slow and methodical, with aggressive plays built on top.

Great timing on util and reads too

He does have twitter

Nobody is incredibly underrated

EDG vs LOUD
(KangKang vs Aspas)

Ngl I think EDG is just good at making other teams tilt and look bad especially when you're against a jett who pushes past your smokes and literally never misses an OP shot

cry

I live in UK and I though I dont really talk trash about EMEA I do hate the fans, espefially the NAVI ones - but I do think people are starting to underrate FNC

When a trophy and so much money is on the line they're not just gonna save strats bro that's dumb af. Chronicle just had an off day

Might be wild but I'm calling EDG 2-0 very close maps though

T1 almost beat NRG and EDG just demolished them I don't think NRG will so easily humble them ngl

As expected lets fucking go Edward

I need to see Aspas vs Kang kang bro

Well well well

suygetsu is half the reason they didn't lose earlier bro did you see his clutches on pearl?

who almost beat NRG even

For context: https://youtu.be/2xafYRHU3cI?t=82

nah FUT don't even get a map

half of EDG love boaster too

ngl I still fell like they'd cheer and clap for any region making an insane play

?? haodong is the one keeping this team together, and he's still fragging out

this, his timing on using his util is criminally underrated

bro you got T1 beating EDG

oh damn it's a LAN?
