Recently, the League of Legends 2022 LPL Spring Season Regular Season second week on the second day ushered in the showdown between EDG and UP. Because of the gap between EDG and UP in the first week of the new season, many people feel that EDG can successfully win up with a total score of 2-0. But what I didn't expect was that the UP team still made EDG feel the pressure. However, in the end, EDG still beat UP with a 2-1 overall score, and at the same time won its own three consecutive wins in the new season.
Judging from the overall performance of these three games, in terms of matchmaking, UP is actually not inferior to EDG. Especially in the second and third sets of the game, UP has a certain advantage in the line. Of course, on the one hand, this is indeed related to the lineup and heroes chosen by both sides; but on the other hand, as a team reorganized this season, it is actually rare to be able to compete with the world champion team in the line period. Even, in the second set, UP once won a small game while leading EDG by more than ten thousand economies.
However, although UP is excellent in the matchmaking period, it is actually much behind EDG in terms of operation in the middle of the competition. Of course, this is understandable. After all, EDG is the team that the LPL is best at operating, and it is not shameful to lose to EDG in terms of operation. As mentioned earlier, UP is after all a reorganized team, and the operation requires the entire team to reach a certain level of running-in to be able to really play out. Moreover, back to the up line situation, the line matching ability of each of their players is actually not weak. That is to say, if up can improve its operational capabilities in the follow-up competition, it may really surprise us.
In addition, in addition to the line and operation, in fact, UP's wild player H4cker still exposed the unstable state in the game. Even UP has led to its own disadvantage because of H4cker's many risky moves. Moreover, as a wild player, always let EDG successfully get the key dragon soul, such a problem is indeed worth thinking about H4cker and UP.
In contrast, the performance of the EDG team in this game, in addition to the second set is likely to try a new lineup, the first and second sets are still full of world champions. In the first set, EDG showed us a strong snowball ability after the advantage; in the third set, EDG showed a very good ability to find opportunities after falling into a disadvantage in the early stage. And it has to be said that although EDG lost a small game, the loss of this game undoubtedly sounded an alarm bell for EDG. After all, no one is eternally strong, and no one is eternally weak. Hopefully, EDG will find the reason for this small loss and become stronger.
Finally, dear friends, do you think the UP team can rise in the follow-up games?
