Chapter 342 Internal and external troubles
After 38 minutes of fierce fighting, EDG finally lost the game.
0: 2.
Since Shen Lang arrived, EDG has not suffered such a devastating defeat for a long time.
They lost the opening match of the spring season, and the loser was SDG. You have to know that this is a team that just advanced to LPL from LDL. In the minds of netizens, they basically represent the lowest level of LPL.
Last year's world champion became the last one this year. The huge gap instantly broke the defense of many fans, especially those championship fans. They came to see EDG dominate and win the championship, not to see EDG lose to such an unknown team.
In the forum, many netizens began to post and criticize wildly.
"Losing is losing, don't look for so many excuses. Everyone knows that EDG got carried away after winning the championship, especially Weiwu. I don't know where he got the courage to switch to the mid lane. He doesn't really think he can do anything."
"Fast forward to Brother Weiwu missing his former omnipotent self."
"With EDG in this state, I suggest that Weiwu should just retire and start live streaming to make money. He has been live streaming like crazy to ask for gifts and doesn't even play in training matches. You call him a professional player? He just won the world championship by luck. He is just a clown who stole RNG's championship trophy."
"Are you serious, brother? EDG did not play well in today's game, but it is not something RNG can blame. I didn't expect that there are still people who are whitewashing RNG."
"Hei Weiwu brother doesn't play in the training games. Excuse me, brother, is this the first day you met Weiwu brother? Now he can play two training games every day, which is good enough. What's the point of playing bicycles? This guy didn't even play in the Ranked during the World Championship."
"I remember you guys saying that as long as EDG wins the championship, you will never criticize them again. I wonder how long it has been, and EDG's right to not criticize is only a few months of trial time?"
……
EDG still has quite a few loyal fans. After the game, the black fans and the white fans started to attack each other online.
Under normal circumstances, EDG is on the rise after winning the championship, and black fans are definitely no match for white fans, but they cannot resist some people's tricks.
After learning that EDG lost the opening game to SDG, RNG manager Kwon Jong-hyuk was ecstatic and even happier than if RNG had won the game.
So after the game, he started a troll offensive on the Internet, madly slandering Shen Lang and EDG. The so-called "the clown who stole the RNG championship" was made up by him.
While criticizing Shen Lang, Quan Zhonghe also did not forget to criticize RNG. He is really dedicated!
EDG's loss in the opening game had a huge impact online, but the players didn't seem to be affected.
Abu did not blame the players too much, and he did not even say anything about Jiejie and Abin, who made many mistakes on the court.
"It's already very good for a novice to perform like this for the first time on stage. After all, not everyone is as talented as Xiaolang. It's normal to feel nervous and uncomfortable on the field. You'll get used to it after playing a few more games."
On the bus back to the base, Abu comforted Jiejie and the other two.
Many fans attached too much importance to this game, so all kinds of thoughts came to their mind after EDG lost the opening game.
But in fact, this is just the regular season of the spring season.
If Xiaoxuedi hadn't suddenly left EDG, Shen Lang wouldn't even have planned to appear in the regular season.
After returning to the base, Abuyo Snake played a training match while he was still in hot form.
In the past, EDG and Snake had more losses than wins in training matches, but in today's five training matches, EDG won four games.
As it turned out, today's game was not in vain.
At least now Jiejie and Abin are somewhat familiar with the rhythm of LPL games, and the tacit understanding between the players has begun to be established.
After the training match, the next step is to review today's game.
With a professional team of analysts, the problems of EDG players on the field were pointed out one after another. This is something that many LPL teams do not have, and this is actually the foundation of a strong team.
The official arranged two games today, in addition to EDG vs. SDG, there is also FPX vs. IG.
Everyone is well aware of the strength of the IG team. Due to Shen Lang's butterfly effect, they did not win the championship last season, but the strength they showed in the World Championship is still recognized by many netizens.
And unlike EDG, which fell apart after winning the championship, IG still maintained the lineup from last season, so before the game, the audience predicted that FPX would definitely not be IG's opponent.
However, the final result was shocking.
FPX actually defeated IG 2:0, which was just as unexpected as EDG's loss to SDG.
"I felt that IG's performance in these two games was not bad, but I didn't expect that they still lost to FPX. Are the LPL teams so strong in the new season?"
iboy sighed.
"FPX's strength is already good, and after the new mid laner and jungler joined, their strength has obviously become stronger. Why didn't I realize that these two people are so strong before?"
Abu didn't quite understand.
During the transfer period, FPX traded RW mid laner Doinb, and also traded Xiaotian from SN.
It is somewhat understandable that Doinb is strong, as he was the core of RW last season. However, Xiaotian’s performance in SN last season was not very good, and it can even be described as very bad. But after transferring to FPX, a magical chemical reaction occurred.
"In fact, after I knew Qijiang retired, I wanted to suggest that the club buy him, but unfortunately, he had already officially announced that he would join FPX at that time."
Shen Lang shook his head and sighed.
As a time traveler, he certainly knew Xiaotian's strength.
Cheerful day, steady water, Shy development, constant temperature date.
These four players were called "concept gods" by netizens in later generations. If there was no butterfly effect, Xiaotian would have been the FMVP of the S9 season.
The opponent became stronger, but EDG's own strength was greatly reduced.
In the new season, EDG is facing internal and external troubles.
1 month 8 day.
EDG faced Snake and suffered a crushing defeat of 1:2.
1 month 25 day.
EDG played against TES and suffered a crushing defeat of 0:2.
1 month 29 day.
EDG played against FPX and was crushed in both games, without any chance of fighting back.
So far, EDG has suffered four consecutive losses in the spring season.
You should know that even the worst V5 defeated SDG in the previous game and won a point. At this time, EDG is firmly ranked last in the regular season standings of the Spring Split with a record of 0-4.
If we could explain the loss to SDG in the opening match by saying that the players were in poor condition and Jiejie and the other player were newcomers, there is really no way to explain it now. We can't say that we were in poor condition for four games in a row.
In fact, in the next two games, both Jiejie and Abin performed well, and the tacit understanding between the players gradually began to form. It’s just that EDG’s opponents are strong teams like FPX and TES, and the team’s running-in period has not yet passed, so they really can’t win.
Although the team has suffered consecutive defeats, everyone in EDG is still quite optimistic. At least the team's progress is clearly visible.
In comparison, netizens and fans are obviously not so optimistic.
