With the 2023 Demacia Cup approaching, recently, the EDG team announced its squad for the new season and the 2023 Demacia Cup. Judging by the people on this list, it is almost in line with the rumours in the previous transfer period. The list of players is Ale and Solokill on the roadJiejie and Monki in the jungler position;Fisher in the middle of the lane;The duo is Le**e and Vampire. Except for Ale on the top lane and Jiejie in the jungler position, the rest of the players are all newcomers. At the same time, it can be seen from the list of the academic management team that the head coach is Ming Kai, and the other two coaches are Poppy and MNI. It is not difficult to see that with such a set of newcomer-based lineups, EDG does have the idea of training newcomers in the new season.
Of course, it may be that EDG's lineup for the new season is too "too new". Many netizens also said, "Breaking into the west (top ten) is considered a success!.""EDG is known to be a team that relies heavily on double Cs to carry games. Whether it's the double-C combination of Pawn and Deft, or the double-C combination of Scout and Viper, EDG will always put the core of the game on the double-C player. Now, although EDG has two more experienced players, Ale and Jiejie, the main core double C positions are all newcomers. This seems to mean that once the newcomers in the double C position in the new season are not able to play the intensity required by the LPL, then the prospects of this EDG team are not optimistic.
Of course, some netizens may say that the rookie ADC player LE**E is still performing well in the 2023LPL Spring Tournament. But what you should know is that at that time, the support of the LE**E players was the LPL Grand Slam Meiko, and LE**E was able to play well in the spring game, which naturally had a lot to do with MEIKO. Now, Meiko's departure has not only had a big impact on EDG's strength in the two-man road, but also EDG lacks a very good conductor. Therefore, even if the newcomers to EDG are very potential, if they lack the guidance of key conductors in the official competition, they may not grow as fast as they imagined.
But fortunately, EDG's former team soul factory director is back as coach, and he can still make this new EDG have some X-factors. As we all know, the director of the factory served as the coach of EDG in the 2020 season, and the lineup of EDG in the 2020 season is not optimistic. With the exception of Scout and Meiko, two experienced players, the rest of the positions are also newcomers. But even so, the factory director still led EDG to the playoffs in the 2020 LPL Spring Season. Although EDG missed the playoffs in the 2020 LPL Summer Season, the coaching level of the factory director in the first year after serving as a coach is still remarkable. Now, the director is back at EDG, and as a rookie coach, he is once again coaching younger players. Maybe you can rub a better spark when you are all new in your position. As the saying goes, "Shibei should be impressed for three days", the factory director may also have a certain improvement in his coaching ability after charging.
So, can the factory director turn the tide in the coaching position and serve as the savior of EDG again?Let's wait and see!
