In the sixth week of the LPL Spring Games, the focus battle EDG vs. V5 game, it was expected to be a matchless and wonderful game, but from the perspective of the course of the game, it was obviously one-sided. In the end, V5 didn't give EDG any respite and simply beat EDG 2-0. With the victory of this game, V5 also managed to reach the top of the LPL standings. After the game, the EDG players withdrew with a lonely expression, obviously the loss of this game was not a small blow to them, and in the evening, all EDG members opened rank training, Flandre and Meiko even queued all night to find status.
Judging from the statistics of the performance of the personal information page of the OBGG players, the Holy Gun Brother who is in a relatively sluggish state in this game and the team commander Meiko both played the ranking until about 5 o'clock in the morning, which can be said that the training intensity was directly full. It is estimated that he should also be aware of his slump in the game, so he wants to get back to his form as soon as possible through more training.
As the champion team of the S11 World Championship, EDG still met the expectations of the audience in the competition before this season, but as the schedule progressed, EDG's performance began to fall short of the audience's expectations. From being swept 2-0 by WBG to being taken 2-0 by V5 again, it has to be said that this former champion division has gradually begun to lose its former glory.
In particular, the recently controversial upper unit Flander, the frequent downturn in state and performance, has made the call for the replacement of the starting single more and more high. Fortunately, the Holy Gun Brother who has been playing professionally for many years has a good professional attitude, and after realizing his problems, he will make up for it through more efforts, which is still worth affirming.
And then again, EDG is not only the champion of the S11 World Championship, but also a club with deep roots in the LPL, and the temporary difficulties in front of them cannot be a high wall to prevent them from climbing to the top again. I believe that as long as they are given a little more time, coupled with the good professional attitude and hard training of the players, the champion of S11 will eventually return.
epilogue
In my opinion, many people may say that qualifying is not the same as competition, and no matter how many rankings do not have much effect, I do not agree with this view. The reason why V5 has today's excellent results, I think in addition to the unity of the team, the strength is also very good, the most important thing is to train hard. V5 is often fully staffed until around four o'clock in the morning, which is the norm, and EDG, as a champion division, should have it all, and the only thing missing may be to train harder to maintain the form and expand the version of the hero pool. I don't know what everyone thinks of the all-night Rank after the fiasco V5 defeat?
