Leading: After EDG is 2 to 1 by RNG, the pressure is greater. I thought that the year of winning the championship could be "free of spray", in fact, as long as I could not win the opponent, there was no such thing as "no spray". Maybe only a team with no results can do it. The better the results, the higher everyone's expectations, and the more complex the attributes of fans.
Some time ago, EDG adjusted the starting lineup, and the single was changed from The Holy Gun Brother to Xiaoxiang, and the other positions did not change. But after playing a few games, EDG has not improved, even the most stable single Scout has gone wrong, fans are anxious to question the decision of the training group, complain that the coach bp is not good, and so on.
Mingkai lost the coaching position again, and EDG also had to "perform"?
Under everyone's doubts, the EDG team seems to have compromised. They did exactly what the fans asked, first exchanging Xiaoxiang for the Holy Gun Brother, and then arranging for Ming Kai to leave. After S10, Clearlove returned to play and lost his coaching position. Last season, EDG won the championship, Ming Kai once again took over the coaching whip, but did not expect that the "battleship" lost its direction after a wave of consecutive wins, and the training team was questioned.
Of course, we can't be sure whether EDG's decision has anything to do with fans, we can only see that the two sides coincide. Some time ago, there were more Xiaoxiang and Mingkai, and EDG just changed the two of them, just like the fans ruled the team, do they also want to "perform" like TES? As of now, only one TES team has won six consecutive games, which may have allowed other teams to see the advantages of "fan governance".
Changing Xiaoxiang may not be questioned by anyone, and the operation of other people who are not popular is also general. But the coach changed from Ming Kai to Hua, an operation that caused some people to question. Ming Kai is an EDG meritorious player, even if he did not participate in the team to win the championship process, he still did a lot of things for EDG, and it seems inappropriate to replace him if he is not good.
The super talk broke out directly to spray the champion powder, and the old fans did not welcome them
LCK has a lot of teams to change coaches in the middle, such as T1 and Danny, DRX and Kim Kyung-so, etc., will Ming Kai also follow this path? As an old player, Ming Kai has many fans, and when he learned the news that the team changed coaches, EDG directly broke out with the "champion fans" and complained that they were pointing fingers at the team.
Old fans believe that Ming Kai has done a lot of things for EDG, and even the management has thanked him for his help, and the "champion fan" should not be mixed. For this kind of fans who like EDG to win the championship, the old fans will have some "superiority" in their hearts, and even let them go to the championship team to say goodbye to EDG and so on.
The so-called "champion fans" also have their own ideas: First of all, Ming Kai himself did not participate in the S11 World Championship, but Zhu Kai left him to follow the trend, why can't he go down the field if he doesn't perform well? For the "superiority" of the old fans, they said that everyone is a champion fan, and the previous fans also liked the team because of the EDG championship. However, they used to be LPL champions, MSI champions, and this time they were replaced by world champions. Putting this aside, everyone is a "champion fan".
summary
The replacement of the factory director is indeed somewhat unexpected, but we are more worried about the Holy Gun Brother. The new version is Xiao Xiang playing again, he has not played a training game for more than ten days, this time only played once before playing, I don't know how the holy gun brother is in a state. This time the opponent is AL, ranking twelfth, and once defeated, EDG players are likely to suffer "wild storms", especially the Holy Gun Brother.
Objectively speaking, as a new champion, EDG has maintained a good state, and it is only a painful period of version adjustment, and the state of the players has also fluctuated slightly. However, the overall strength of the players is still there, as long as they are properly adjusted, they are still a strong contender for the championship.
