The EDG team is currently in an eventful season, losing seven games in a row since the start of the LPL Spring Season, setting a record for the longest losing streak in team history. Due to the personnel adjustment in the offseason and the personnel rotation after the start of the game, there is only one veteran in the EDG team at this stage, Jiejie, with 4 LDL newcomers. But as a jungler, his impact on the situation is limited.
And at this moment, a new problem arose within the EDG team. This afternoon, EDG's official blog released a news, revealing that Jiejie suffered a head injury due to an accidental fall in the hotel bathroom. After being rushed to the hospital, Jiejie's physical condition has improved significantly. However, considering that the injury requires observation and recuperation, he will be hospitalized in Shenzhen (NIP's home stadium) for a period of time.
Accidents in the hotel are something that everyone doesn't want to see, but fortunately, Jiejie is fine. But on the other hand, due to the need for hospitalization and observation, he couldn't play in a short period of time. This season, EDG's first-team squad has as many as seven players, and there are rotations in both the upper and lower fields. After Jiejie's injury, there is a high probability that the next game will be monki.
Monki is a 04-year-old jungler who came out of the EDG academy and played in the LDL league. Although he entered the first team squad at the beginning of the S12 season, he did not play in an LPL game. The most recent appearance was in the Demacia Cup last December. However, for that EDG, I am afraid that everyone's impression will not be too deep.
After Jiejie suffered this accident, it means that EDG will play the next few games with a starting lineup of five LDL players. (provided that the factory director is not up) Of course, at this time, the player's personal psychological pressure should be less. After all, with 0-7 EDG, there is nothing left to lose.
The S11 season was the champion of the S competition, but the S14 season was hard to find, and the EDG team's experience this season was embarrassing. But in the final analysis, this situation is due to the fact that the offseason contract renewal and recruitment efforts have not been effective. This team, which is basically made up of LDL players, is like playing a team with two teams. Covering the ID, everyone can't even tell who is the Korean aid among the current starters of EDG.
EDG's next match will be against Team AL this Sunday. With the belief that winning a big game is a success, I hope that EDG players can be more daring to fight.
Finally, I also look forward to Jiejie's early return from injury.
