EDG already proved it before as they had placed 6th at the last champs when they still had a suitable playstyle, now they are back to that.

That's the power of Chinese ecos

2-0
(I'm only saying this cause it would be extremely funny)

Trace is known as the biggest choker in CN, theres a reason this is their first international appearance

Can we stop with this EDG bad narrative they are extremely good now after their IGL and coach changes, now they have a suitable playstyle. They are very much on the same level as trace if not better

Dude killed the cypher lurk mid and knew mid would be empty, DOUBLE TPED down cat to flank A way faster than they thought he'd get there

My goat 200IQ player

Trace just has a bad sunset, especially on attack. LEV is not winning ascent..

Did they really though? FPX went toe to toe against the 2 finalists of the event, even being just one round away from beating TH iirc

Nah EDG has looked better than trace recently, they are better than you think. I do think they're better than FPX atm tho

S1mon is just nervous you haven't seen the usual him yet

this might be kendrick

They looked terrible today sorry can't wait for them to lose to FUT

DRG sucks ass, replace them with JDG

+return of Maple

This definetely isn't true idk why people still say this, he is more than "comfortable" to play duelist and entrys alone with util many times. It's just more suitable for G2 as a team to play a few no duelist comps especially since they mostly do it on the maps where it's actually good and also cause it suits their team-oriented playstyle

all good bro, they were already considering moving smoggy onto the main roster atp but after their loss vs prx they thought maybe playing with life was better after all since with him they lost 0 maps in the EastAsia LCQ to qualify for champs. He did have covid tho so performed worse

Not saying I agree with him but have you ever even seen those 2 TE players play to be saying this

Dude got downvoted for the truth

I've been watching EDG / CN for 3 years bro his debut was at Istanbul

nice bait try harder next time

well well well

F EN ESS ARE YUU OKEHH?

still remember him top fragging as a jett sub on haven he was crazy

You hate this team because they beat all your favourite teams easily without needing a star duelist, just teamwork like a team should be

that wasn't his debut smh

EDG vs NAVI

Is this simp4som character development

I mean smoggy isn't far off he has played entry jett/raze and been incredible

Reverse this shit

If everyone always considers forsaken top 10 so should Smoggy: Can play any role insanely well, one of the best aimers, been extremely consistent for over at least 2 years, god clutcher, good util and supports / sets up teammates for kills

What can this guy not do

That's what esport is like anywhere

S1mon's aim is usually very good and on par with the rest of the team, he's just nervous

It's more that EDG is better with nobody IGLing

Yes

CN #1 vs EMEA #4 why are we surprised

Last round threw a sieze that was on the edge of the inside of the smoke so he could see if it tethered, caught onto breach which pulled him down from the C site and down to water which resulted in a kill, then 1v2ed and finished off last player with a fade ult + classic cause lower hp. True genius at work

He always purposefully tried to fit the role of the one player doing their own thing because he thought that was standard for some reason, so basically he intentionally inted when he is actually quite a smart player

INSANE

I posted this before the game started

You are wrong

This won't be too close, EDG will surprise everyone today

You clearly haven't been watching the CN league, FPX has looked worse ever since shanghai and EDG has looked 10x better than before

why do people think this have you even watched a trace game before

Same got some ez money off this

Expected ez

💀💀💀 enemies to lovers ahh

You haven't watched any of CN league have you, EDG will do very well

If there's any time to invest in CN it's now

Smoggy also has the most fangirls LOL

Exactly, people hadn't heard of blg before so automatically assumed they were a worse team, some cn watchers expected it though cause they actually knew how blg play, me included
