In the history of League of Legends, many witnesses many cases of the teams after ascending the throne immediately dropped without braking. Typically SKT T1 itself when they became the first team in the history of League of Legends still retaining the name and squad, but after winning the World Championship, the next season was absent from the biggest international arena this year. But after that, SKT T1 also revived and became a force until now. There was also a team, after winning the World Championship, it immediately faded away quickly and without any light, it was Edward Gaming.
SKT T1 is the first team to win the World Championship but then keep the squad unable to attend Worlds in the next season
After the Championship Championship 2021, EDG struggled to reach the tournament in 2022. But the quarterfinals against Drx was the last highlight of the champion that year when they lost the LCK representative with a score of 3-2 after the unexpected shine of Kingen and Zeka. Since then, EDG has faded at breakneck speed. Not to mention, a series of gods also competed to leave the team. For now, only Jiejie is the only one left over from the World Championship team 2021 still wears EDG.
But according to LPL fans, no team dropped quickly and did not brake like EDG
Even at LPL Spring 2024, EDG dropped straight to the bottom of the rankings and was one of the worst season of this traditional team history. EDG is a name that guarantees LPL's success so this is unacceptable. On the forums, Chinese fans even asked EDG to take into account … VCS to find the opportunity to go to MSI. But there is also a comment: “Maybe they are not equal to grams.”
Even LPL fans think that EDG now has VCS losing grams
In fact, this can simply show the boredom of EDG and LPL fans for this team. Because, they also “change blood” but young rookies are both brave and skilled. Meanwhile, Jiejie has never shown that he is a real leader. A moment, forcing Jiejie to replace the role of Meiko is too much for this player, especially when the World Championship 2021 also dropped to himself compared to himself before.
Not to mention, EDG is involved in the question of internal opaque. A few days ago, EDG was fined when using the player who was not registered. Worth mentioning, EDG knows this regulation well but still defied.
EDG is in crisis from both internal and professional achievements
EDG is at the end of disappointment. This team was no longer like when they ascended the throne in Iceland more than 2 years ago. But EDG itself is struggling in its solutions and has not really been effective.
