2021 was a rewarding year for all League of Legends players, with EDG teams from the LPL division defeating defending champion DK to win the S11 World Championship in the S11 Series. Two years later, the LPL division once again lifted the trophy of the League of Legends World Championship.
Today, Xiaobian here is also to take you to review the road to winning the EDG team.
The five members of the champion EDG team gathered in late 2020, and in mid-December, EDG brought in ADC Viper, the former GRF, and the former LNG roader Saint Gun Brother. Coupled with JieJie, Zhongdan Scout and Auxiliary Meiko, who were already in the team, the five pieces of the puzzle of this king's division were officially fused together.
The chicks first spread their wings
The newly formed EDG team's first major competition is the LPL Spring Tournament, and the performance of the EDG crowd has not disappointed the fans, successfully advancing to the playoffs in the spring game, defeating TES in the first round of the playoffs to advance to the winner group finals, but may be due to the lack of running-in, in the winner group final 2:3 defeat to the FMAX team fell into the loser group, in the loser group in the second round of the RNG team to stop the third place.
The eagle has set sail
In the LPL Summer, the EDG team advanced to the playoffs with a second place in the standings, but lost to the WE to fall into the losers group in the first round of the game. The players in the loser's group found their form in pain, winning the summer championship with three consecutive victories over LNG, WE and FPX, and qualifying as the number one seed in the LPL.
Not favored
Although EDG qualified as the first seed of the LPL, due to the various performances of EDG in the S competition before, this EDG is still not optimistic about fans, and the favorite to win the championship is the other two teams of the LPL, RNG and FPX. In the group stage, EDG's performance is generally advanced to the quarterfinals as the second seed in Group B.
The hope of the whole village
Although it has advanced to the top eight, EDG is not favored by most players, and most players believe that EDG can never break through the so-called eight-strong spell, and the probability of being taken away by RNG is 3:0 or 3:1. However, the result was that EDG laughed to the end, and the two sides fought for five sets, and finally EDG eliminated RNG, one of the favorite teams that won the championship, 3:2. He then took advantage of the victory to break through the final of the S tournament by eliminating the GEN breakthrough team 3:2 in the semifinals.
The new king is crowned
Before the final, it was still the EDG that was not optimistic, and many LPL fan friends set up a super fierce FLAG. They will challenge the defending champion DK team in the final, the invincible team, the DK team that has won all the way to the final. However, the EDG players are not mentally unbalanced and in poor shape because of the general decline of the outside world.
Their clean defeat of DK in the first set seemed to give fans hope of winning, but the defending champion was the defending champion who then won two sets in a row, and DK with two match points in his hand returned the result of the game back to most expectations. But the EDG crowd did not give up, they withstood the pressure and became the last team to laugh, the champion is EDG!
