“Hegemony” LPL once openly pursued Bin and Chovy
Worlds 2024 can be considered as a defeated tournament of the LPL area when they cannot win this prestigious championship. This is considered as “a drop of water”, causing many teams in this area to “change blood” to create better competition next season. Combined with the bright stars of League of Legends world like Bin or ChoVy about the contract, the competition between teams has become hot since the new season has not started.
Bin and Chovy are being pursued by many teams when their contract
Recently, adding a very popular name in the past, Edg also joined the race to the signature of both Bin and ChoVy. According to the former EDG – Lao Yue youth coach, this team is planning to buy these two stars in the future. Moreover, EDG was also revealed to be pursuing Peyz in the context of Gen.G wanted to bring back Ruler. With the support position, EDG also aims to buy another star named Meiko.
EDG recently revealed the goal of recruiting Bin, Chovy, Peyz and Meiko
Ambitious with both Bin and Chovy, EDG was “crossed cold” by fans.
Immediately after this information was shared, it became the owner to talk of many gamers in the LPL area. However, fans think that this is an “unrealistic” plan of EDG when pursuing so many stars. The reason comes from the fact that EDG itself also faces many financial difficulties and has to sell a lot of quality players, so recruiting “superstars” like Bin or ChoVy is almost impossible.
“EDG must be very lucky to be able to bring Meiko back, don't expect anything in others” – a sarcasm of EDG's plan
“Are they dreaming? Does Jiejie have to flee with just 50 yuan?” – Another player agrees
“Remember last year there was news that Edg pursued Zeus and Chovy, how did everyone know how” – another gamer concluded
In the past, EDG was once considered a “hegemony” team at LPL with many regional championships. They were even the first LPL team to win the international tournament of Riot when they won the MSI 2015 title. Even at the last summer LPL 2024, this team played so badly that there was not enough points in the group stage to get tickets to the Playoffs.
When the stars in the World Championship team 2021 left, EDG “plunged without braking” in terms of achievement
It is likely that the above “defeat” of EDG has made the leadership of this team determined to return and outlined a transfer plan as above. However, the position as well as the financial potential of EDG is currently very different from 3 years ago, so they can recruit “superstars” in Bin or ChoVy is almost impossible. Perhaps EDG should be aimed at a realistic goal rather than building a team that is competitive to Top 6 or Top 8 LPL instead of trying to follow such plans with such a low success rate.
