My days at the helm of senior kayaking at WBG

Chapter 58 How to fight EDG

I thought I would lose, but I didn't expect to lose like this.

As a popular team in the World Championship, JDG is still unlikely to mess up casually.

WBG's lineup configuration is too average. If we play EDG next, there probably won't be much to say.

The 22-year EDG has continued the original team of 21 years, including top laner Sheng Qiangge, jungler Jiejie, mid laner Scout, and bottom lane Viper and Meiko.

Let’s not talk about the strength on paper. In terms of tacit understanding alone, it is not comparable to WBG, an old, weak and disabled team.

Just in order to work hard to win as much as possible, Jiang Huai carefully watched some of EDG's previous game videos, hoping to find out some of EDG's current flaws and break them crucially.

22 years of EDG.

In the game it won against RNG, it showed very strong operational capabilities. In the early and mid-term, the Canyon and Xiaolong groups rarely lost, and they often snowballed and crushed them from start to finish.

Generally speaking, teams that don't understand operations have a hard time keeping up with EDG's operational pull. Therefore, they often fall into a situation where the opponent gets all the resources while playing, and then ends the game in one wave.

Classic Korean style.

Even if the opponent only has the last little dragon left and wants the dragon soul, and after taking down the ancient dragon, there will be a wave, they will never take any risk to stop the opponent from doing anything.

How did Taobao win against EDG?

At least JDG has the advantage in teamfighting toughness.

Almost exactly the same as JDG.

EDG always fights teams that they are prepared for. They are usually in a state of confusion for unprepared battles.

The status of their double C, mid laner scout and bottom lane Viper is very important to this team.

In the early stages of their game, they would be pulled into a disadvantage by EDG's operations in almost every game, but in every game, EDG would suddenly begin to lose their huge advantage due to a wave of teams later on.

EDG will never be destroyed.

Jiang Huai also unexpectedly discovered that EDG's teamfighting often broke at a touch.

It's just that JDG's teamwork is much better than EDG.

It's a pity that Korea's Double C team cannot win alone. There are too few teams that can be won by one person.

Two monkeys and one Poppy kept a close eye on the Viper or Scout on the opposite side. They would start a team almost every time they had the chance. No matter how many they started, they would just stare at them until they were driven away or until they started. It's to kill.

As long as they can kill and drive away one of EDG's double cs in seconds, EDG will lose a leg, so the remaining person is nothing to be afraid of.

TES 3:0 EDG.

why?
Nothing else, just because Xiaotian is so good.

So through a game yesterday.

Instead, he went home at the speed of light to replenish his status, clearing troops while waiting for Double C to resurrect before discussing the follow-up.

If two of them were killed together, it would be impossible for the other three to continue fighting each other to the end.

It seems that this strange thing was born because this kind of thing happened too much.

When they are not prepared, if they are the first to start a team and get to the C position within seconds, then this team will directly fall into a weak state, and the other three will immediately collapse and sell out, all in one go.

The key group, when prepared, can play very beautifully and eat up the opponent step by step.

But once an unexpected mistake occurs, such as a sudden encounter in the jungle, they will collectively fall into a state of confusion, waiting for their double C to be opened, with no choice.

Taobo has always liked to play melee to improve the rhythm. It is a very pure LPL team.

If there is nothing to do, go find something to do. If the baron brushes, go and fight the baron.

Although doing so will have a high probability of overturning because of the Baron fight, for EDG who is hesitant and cares about the head and tail, the speed at which Taobao gathers resources is a bit ridiculous.

Obviously, before his "application" to prevent the opponent from playing Baron has been approved by the team commander Meiko, Taobo has already rushed the Baron at the risk of being stuck in the dragon pit to start a team.

"Put it away! You can put it all!" This is a barrage that often appears during EDG games.

When the 10,000-yuan economy was overturned by SKT, EDG's hesitant decision-making once made people feel very stupid. Now that the lineup has been updated and players have been replaced, EDG still makes this mistake from time to time.

In the final analysis, it is inseparable from the coaching staff.

The style advocated by EDG is to be absolutely sound and must not be given a chance by the boss.

That's why Maokai got so angry in the lounge when EDG took the risk and decided to fight Baron first, shouting: "Why fight Baron! How many times have I told you, fight, fight, fight around Baron!"

And the same big dragon is a delicacy in Taobo's eyes. If you don't want to eat it, I will eat it. If you want to eat it, don't eat it.

A steady and hesitant one.

One is impulsive and rough.

If both styles are used to the extreme, it is possible to win the game.

It's a pity that EDG didn't do well enough.

And when it came to the World Championships, EDG fell directly into the trap of revisionism. After discovering that they often lost games because of hesitation, they immediately followed the example of 21 years ago and gave Jiejie chicken soup to let him play boldly, which led to overcorrection. EDG played quite chaotically, slowly exposing their backline to their opponents, and were even dragged down by DRX for three rounds, allowing them to catch up with two and succeed in a comeback.

Maokai's chicken soup is really terrible.

EDG entered the World Championship again, without Zhu Kai's "Pig's Chicken Soup", and this time they still failed to find their form.

And I heard that there are some signs of quarrel between EDG management and mid laner Scout due to contract renewal issues.

How can you play the game well if you are pretentious?

In the next BO5 game, Jiang Huai could only bet on his middle lane, hoping that Scout would treat him as lightly as he despised Zeka.

In this case, this 21-year champion mid laner may expose some more flaws to himself, allowing him to successfully achieve a breakthrough in the middle.

WBG, the wind and rain were swaying, and a broken bamboo raft sailing on the sea was about to be broken by Jiang Huai.

The next day, he reviewed the game with JDG with his teammates and coaches, and discussed what kind of lineup should be used to compete with EDG. After Jiang Huai went to rank to maintain his feel.

In the afternoon, maizijian made an appointment for a training match with WBG, playing UP, and asked the brothers to prepare and practice some new lineups to try out the effects, but the brothers were all unmotivated.

Especially SofM, when they heard it was UP, they didn't even bother to fight.

At this juncture, although everyone in the WBG team knows that it is difficult to make appointments with teams for training matches, but is it a bit too unrealistic to make appointments with a team that can't even make the playoffs?

When Mr. Hou was here, they trained with LCK teams every day. Now that Mr. Hou is gone, they can only develop and look for new teams.

What can be achieved through training?
SofM doesn't understand very much.

Jiang Huai also felt that it was a waste of time.

But after he saw the lineup for the 2022 UP Summer Split, he suddenly became interested.

UP:

Order on zoom.

Jungle H4cker.

Mid laner Cryin.

Bottom lane elk.

Auxiliary miaoniu.

Duke, Ultraman, Fruit Brother, Iraq...

It seems like there are a lot of tricks.
