edg24 era is completely over...💔

When my boy got off IGL duty (hes not a full-time igl, but it's clearly affecting his focus), we lost one of the best aimers on the team.
I know Nobody has so many things to do and it affects his perform but look at Chichoo’s stats
PLZ you’re not Nats my boy (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

they’re both igling but chichoo will take the main igl when nobody plays duelist
M0ggle said this in a previous interview "Previously [nobody] was alone and may have had too many responsibilities. Now, he and CHICHOO are jointly sharing the responsibilities half and half, they're both calling on both sides, attack and defense."

I have no faith anymore

I HATE THIS TEAM WTF IS EDG DOING??? They’re struggling, and I’m struggling too!!!!
I’m so disappointed in this decision. Why didn’t they give zjc a chance??
If they’re not going to change the coach, I honestly want this team to go 1–6 till the end.
And now the league confirmed… Jieni is the starter
https://x.com/valesports_cn/status/1948624256494973302

Honestly, even if simon still in the lineup, this still would’ve happened cause m0ggle has 0 game plan at all

m0ggle so much ego, In 2025 his timeouts barely help the team

If it’s true… this is seriously going to kill me

As an edg fan im honestly quite worried about the current situation. Based on rumors in the cn commu, it looks like they’re switching from "zjc to jieni". I really don’t understand why they won’t just stick to one lineup this constant swapping is wrecking the team’s chemistry. And seriously, what is M0ggle even doing? He just seems like a coach who got lucky with that champ title…I honestly don’t understand why the team still refuses to hire a foreign analyst to help with strategy. I don’t know if it’s ego or something else. Of course, I’d love to see a new coach, but I know that might be difficult—so at the very least, I really hope they bring in a foreign analyst to help build a solid game plan.

ps.srry to everyone who read through this long, probably pointless rant—i just had to get it off my chest lmaoooo
zjc>>jieni https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1KkgpzJEdx/?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click&vd_source=0d2bff4d750def972dde8fb77556950c
I just hope they’d try scrimming with Jieni only this day, while still keeping zjc as the main lineup.

Ahh, got it. I honestly think they need to start training their mental to handle the crowd noise better. World in Paris is definitely gonna be way more MASSIVE than this.

Ohhh thank you so much gege! I’ve been trying to understand this word but wasn’t sure what the perfect meaning was. And yea, i know the fans were cheering louder for gen than for edg, but didn’t he already say that it’s just part of esports? What did he say wrong?

TRUE the biggest problem is m0ggle has zero new game plans. its honestly so weird that they’ve never tried hiring a foreign analyst to bring in fresh ideas.

just wanted to share what happened. don’t be too hard on them they’ve already gotten a lot of hate from cnetz <3
(if i made any translation mistakes, feel free to let me knowTT)

• cnetz lip-read edg nobody speaking to his teammates "你还有信心吗" ("Do you still have confidence?") during tech pause(or time-out cant remember) on heaven.

• KangKang seemed really frustrated after the match. In his post-game interview, he said every match felt like rolling the dice, mentioning issues like the lack of a proper warm-up area, which forced them to warm up mid-game—and how the disorganized tournament flow affected their performance. When asked about have gained from this event, he just smirked and refused to share, joking that their thoughts were too explosive to share . And honestly, I don’t even know why fans are being so dramatic about the ori post.

• And "s1mon back" topic has started again, and with cnetz flaming the whole team.

really hope beyn to gen g

Termi really love this guy

ty for the great post i rly appreciate it and hope gege will continue sharing more translation posts!

I noticed that Ash's name marking isn't on the new jersey shelf. Could this mean he's no longer with Gen?

Wait, why isn’t Sylvan in the T1LoL x T1VAL group pic?
Seem like they picked DH for the starting roster

https://x.com/bbosyuk/status/1938077968301232361

Why did they show Heav1n in the clips?? Is 24K going to be a secret coach??

Q: Why did you change your ID?
zjc: I wanted a FRESH start.

can someone tell me if they don’t announce it before the transfer window closes, will this guy end up teamless?? no wayyyyy

They need to change their team name to AL from Bottom to Top

just get ur ass out of here bruhhh

Chichoo was just joking like 'If EDG can’t even make it to Paris, I’m transferring teams.' hope alphabet bro help us pleaseeee

Some said I'd never be a superstar, but I know I'm different -- zmjjkk

kinda sad how much his hand injury has affected him

casters call him 字母哥 zì mǔ gē

SEEMS like he might be the endgame

everyone knows smoggy can play any agent the team needs, but yeah he just wasn’t comfortable when he plays

If you read kangkang’s statement, he said he wanted the team to stick together as long as possible but yeah… things changed after simon's situation. It’s understandable they had to look for someone better, but even now they still haven’t found anyone better than him.........

im praying he’s honestly the one i like the most

they have one month left before ewc, and it’s so funny cnetz are actually joking like, 'Why don’t they just do player101?' (a reference to the survival show produce 101)

ALPHABET BROTHER

what u guys think who’s the perfect match for EDG’s last spot?
here's a little update from recent cnetz screenshots

• s1mon (seems like he's still with edgy until his contract ends. recently, he’s been duoing with edg trainee sa1uat and potter.)
• jieni ( i kind of believe the rumor that he stepped down on his own, especially since his gege always says in interviews that he's the one who improved the most and he’s started posting highlight clips on dy again just like he did back when he wasn’t on the main team)
• potter (from the youth team)
• yoyo (spotted trialing with tyloo too)
• biank : some ppl say it’s actually him based on an id sighting.
  ( https://prnt.sc/22amR0qEpJYu )
  ( https://prnt.sc/lLo9GvTrXBwy )
• wooday

• And now the keyboard man hfmi0dzjc9z7
  ( https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV16y78z1EGe/?spm_id_from=333.1387.upload.video_card.click )

I saw some posts on X (she locked her acc) looks like they gonna trial Biank??

they got nothing after champ (just got more haters and fame) Meanwhile edg21 lol team got a house everyone know a gap between lol and val is tooo BIG sources: https://www.invenglobal.com/articles/15646/edg-founder-buys-house-worlds-2021-roster-champions

even dog has a good quality life

Ed Chu only know his lover lol team

GM just went live with Danking and shared some updates:

• During Masters Bangkok, he bought each of the five players a Rolex worth over 100,000 RMB as a champion gift — including s1mon. (btw edg21 lol team received a house from ceo as their champion gift)
• Coaching staff: There will definitely be some changes. Century has already joined another team.
• Aqua (EDG Valorant manager): His salary was reportedly deducted, likely due to the stream he did.
• s1mon: The transfer window isn't open yet, but GM mentioned that s1mon might not be willing to play in a lower tier.
  and now im seeing cnetz comments hoping s1mon will come back to the team (personally i think it’s impossible but who knows?)

  and chinese fans can add more!!!

no wonder why edg fans are so eager to share the statement🤣

Is that the guy who was talking with cxy, asking “Are you happy edg got eliminated?” right?

Low chance for slowly Tyloo jail

im not a native speaker but I kind of get the gist
Muggle said in the interview: "Our adjustments will depend on our training performance and the players available in the market. Ultimately, it comes down to internal team planning."

What y’all think??

i haven't seen RB in tec's activities since the end of stage 1... no idea and sadly but it seems like edg has more faith in their academy team than in buying out players

Who is he going to replace? Dont tell me mygod RB......
