Group Stage Notes -

EDG take a long time to close out games. Way longer than is necessary.

EDG are looking weak and with a lot of mistakes being made in using advantages and in strategic map movements. Slow closes on games and lots of missed opportunities to take turrets to speed up wins.

Some sloppy individual plays and team choices allow their opponents to draw out games or even make comebacks.

Outside of games against Dark Passage, U is not looking very strong.

Koro's only successful champion outside of playing against Dark Passage has been Maokai.

EDG went into the group stages, planning to lose to SSW and focus on the rest of the teams. You can't really go to Worlds with this kind of mindset. Look to fight the best, take out the best, and be the best. That's how you improve and how you bring your strongest foot forward.

Even with the plan to focus on the other combatants of Group A, EDG make a weak showing against a weak group.

EDG will need to really step it up to make it out of the Quarterfinal. From the play shown here, I don't find it likely.
