All the RNG players who retired from Guo Xiang played well.
As a meritorious service of RNG, Mlxg's choice to retire is really disappointing, but Guo Xiang's health is really not enough to support him to continue his career, so it is a good choice for Guo Xiang to choose to retire. After RNG was introduced to Calca last year, it rotated with the incense pot, which also enriched RNG's tactical play. Although Calca is very capable, it may affect her modeling in adversity, and this incense pot can just make up for it.
This time, when the incense pot retired, the burden of RNG's wild work fell entirely on Calca, and the Wolf King also gave a perfect performance in the curtain call performance of the incense pot. Facing J.J., a newcomer to EDG, Calca explained the true meaning of body control, successfully suppressed J.J. in the other area with Olaf and wooden bucket respectively, and also helped online teammates to open up the situation in the early stage.
Compared with Calca, J.J., a newcomer, was very depressed in this game, and basically did nothing in the early stage. Even though Jinoo and Scout have strong personal abilities, they have not been able to play their advantage in qualifying under the care of Karsa. Calca's perfect performance in two consecutive games can be regarded as a good interpretation of the incense pot, and it can also be regarded as the inheritance of RNG wild position. With the continuous growth of Calca in RNG, I believe he will make RNG stronger.
Apart from Calca, four other players of RNG performed well today, perhaps to pay tribute to Xiang Guo. In the days when Mr. Guo retired, several players took turns to make efforts and easily defeated the strong enemy in straight sets.
EDG exposed two main problems.
After losing to RNG, EDG came to 6 wins and 4 losses, ranking sixth in the standings. This result may get tickets for the playoffs, but it is not enough for EDG to win the championship or even get tickets for the S9 World Cup.
In this game, EDG exposed two major problems. The first point is that iBoy, an AD player, killed EZ for two consecutive games in this game. It's not that there is something wrong with the choice of heroes, but it always gives people the feeling that iBoy is a bit empty against Jian Zihao. The other is the problem of iBoy's play. As the output core, it is radical and likes to output face to face many times. Once caught by the opposite side, the seconds drop in an instant, followed by a big rhythm. This needs to be honed by Iboy, knowing that the main output of EDG is on him.
The second point is the problem of EDG playing wild. It's not that J.J. is incompetent. As a newcomer, J.J. has performed quite well in the wild, but if EDG wants to win the championship, it is bound to meet the top players in the league. J.J. lacks a lot of experience compared with these players. On the other hand, J.J.' s style has gradually stabilized, and sometimes he needs to play wild and bring up the rhythm, but he missed some opportunities because of his steady choice. In this regard, I don't know how EDG will adjust in the future. After all, the factory director hasn't appeared yet, which is also a problem that everyone is looking forward to very much.
