Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the world game club.
The EDG team has recently suffered two consecutive defeats, the record has slipped to the sixth place, with only three games left, if it can not adjust to the state, the spring game may have been declared a failure in advance, the speed of the decline of EDG this time surprised the audience very fast, the previous two world champions, IG and FPX, at least in the spring game to maintain a strong level of competition.
As the S11 world champion, EDG will face four very serious consequences after a rapid decline and successive fiascos, and then we will carefully analyze it for you.
Consequence one: The spring race failed
The first consequence after the EDG fiasco, I want to talk about the spring race, I personally think that EDG is declining rapidly, and the most direct and intuitive consequence for the audience is that the EDG spring game may be declared a failure.
EDG has three games left, and it is difficult to enter the top four if it is all won, and if it loses all, it is possible to say goodbye to the playoffs.
Winning two games or winning one, EDG can enter the playoffs, but from below, the probability of a first or second round is very high, and it is as difficult to win the spring championship and MSI seats.
Because in the LPL professional league in recent years, the low-ranking teams can't win the championship, at least they have to get the top four rankings to have hope.
According to EDG's season goals, I personally think that not winning the spring championship is actually a failure.
Consequence two: champion skin problems
The second consequence is the revenue side, if the EDG Spring Game really does not play well or fails, a direct result is that the EDG champion skin may not sell very high, it is very simple, the better the EDG Spring Game results, the higher the quality of the champion skin, the higher its sales.
And if the EDG spring results are too outrageous, the sales of the skin will inevitably be affected.
I want to remind everyone that the main source of income for the previous world championship teams to win the championship is the championship skin and the commercial contract that follows, rather than the championship prize money.
Champion skin sells well, can earn a lot, and the current situation is more embarrassing, according to the past rules, the champion skin is generally released at the end of April, when the skin comes out, EDG players need to live publicity, in the case of bad results, the player's publicity skin mood will be more uncomfortable, it will look a little awkward.
But in my opinion, EDG's poor performance this year does not affect EDG's world championship last year, and this year's poor results will not affect my personal views and purchase enthusiasm for EDG champion skins, but many viewers will not think so.
Consequence three: Asian Games selection
This consequence personally thinks that it is a more serious one, because the EDG performance is not good, the possibility of the domestic players in the EDG team being selected for the Asian Games will become smaller, if the final failure to be selected, for EDG, for the EDG players are a huge regret, because EDG's orders and assists are veterans, the next Asian Games is likely to catch up.
Originally, the audience's preset Asian Games lineup was EDG's three domestic players plus other teams' outstanding double C, but if EDG's spring results were not good, I am afraid that no one could be selected.
Consequence four: The championship squad is disbanded
The last consequence, and the most serious one, is that EDG players will basically expire their contracts at the end of this year, and Scout, Viper, Meiko and Flander will all expire.
If the results of the S12 season are not good enough, it is impossible to maintain the original team championship lineup.
In short, the speed of the decline of the EDG team in this spring game is completely unexpected by all the audiences, and in the case of the rapid decline of the world champion level team, it will certainly face all kinds of unacceptable serious consequences, which is the cruelty of e-sports, the winner is the king of survival of the fittest.
From the perspective of the audience, it can only be said that I hope that the EDG team can use the limited time to quickly adjust to the state and strive to find a way out of the predicament.
