202 1LOL global finals group competition has ended, FPX and LNG have been eliminated and stopped at 16, and EDG only got the second qualification in the group. However, in this case, there are still optimistic fans who believe that EDG can win the championship. At this time, some netizens turned over the historical achievements of EDG. Do you dare to believe EDG when you know its historical achievements? I can't believe it anyway. So what is the historical merit of EDGS?
S4？ EDG won the double crown in spring and summer and participated in the global finals for the first time. The group match was played by SSW at that time, and the group was second. The quarterfinals were sent home by SHR. There is nothing to say. The strength gap between SSW and EDG is obvious, and SHR is also ahead of Jian Zihao and insec. It is normal for EDG to be defeated. ?
S5？ As the second seed of LPL and MSI champion, EDG has two powerful Korean assistants, pawn and dexterity. As one of the favorites to win LPL (the other is LGD, who suffered a losing streak at the beginning and went straight home). In the group stage, SKT killed two players, the second one qualified, and the quarter-finals laid the first FNC in a group.
When EDG got the version of Hero Iron Man, the whole team did nothing and let another version of Hero Captain and later nuclear Vayne develop freely. This situation has been a chronic death, and EDG can be said to have lost more than half of the game. However, due to the hero bug, the game was replayed. So EDG was defeated by FNC 3-0. This is also the source of FNC4:0EDG. ?
S6？ EDG entered the global finals with 3: 0, and drew Tianhu Group (at that time, Europe and that were all three teams, two provincial teams plus two wild card sixteen teams). EDG also drew a team without Korean team and wild card. This group can be said to be the first in the stable group for the 1 seed, and because the strength of the Korean team was stronger than other teams in that year,
As a result, EDG unexpectedly lost to wild cards, lost to Europe and America, and relied on the pawn, the team barely qualified for the second place. In the quarter-finals, I met LCK champion ROX and was beaten up. The little peanut blind monk kicked Ming Kai as a ball, and Olaf cut the EDG team. The Blind Monk by EDG· Ming Kai is a classic in 4396.
S7？ In the summer finals, the second team chased the third RNG and won the first place. As a result, the group stage started at 0-3, contributing to the famous scene that 10,000 yuan was turned over by SKT, and finally 16 went straight home. ?
S8EDG stumbled to get the third seed, and the group situation is very similar to this year. When EDG met KT(LCK Summer Champion) in the group stage, it was a victory and a failure. When everyone thought that EDG was going to face KT with a score of 5 points, EDG lost directly to the team in the North American Division, ranking first in the group. As a result, the quarterfinals met FNC again and were defeated by 3:/kloc-0.
Conclusion The above are the achievements of EDG in the first five World Championships. Knowing this, it is no wonder that I can't trust EDG anymore. In fact, past achievements do not represent the present, and we cannot completely deny EDG. However, it is undeniable that EDG's high probability is the last chance to prove himself. If we still can't break through the quarter-finals, then EDG veterans Tian Ye and Scott should retire, because after years of stagnation, the players will doubt themselves and have no motivation to move forward.
The more cruel reality is that RNG will face EDG in the knockout round of the top 8. No matter who wins or loses, it is the loss of LPL, but the outcome is inevitable. We hope that the winning team can win the championship trophy again on behalf of LPL.
