The Role Change and Its Impact

One of the biggest revelations in the pro Valorant scene is the role change of K Kang, the best oper in the world. This change has caused a shift in EDG’s game plan and has left fans puzzled. During recent matches, K Kang has been seen switching away from the op role and allowing smoggy to take over. While this has led to victories, it has raised questions about EDG’s strategy going forward.

EDG’s Performance in Masters Madrid

In Masters Madrid, K Kang continued to be the team’s oper, and his performance was outstanding. He dominated the competition with his impressive stats, leading EDG to back-to-back top six finishes. However, their loss to loud in a complete blowout shocked the team and forced them to question their strategy. Despite K Kang’s individual skill, they couldn’t break past their limit.

EDG’s Experimentation with New Options

In an attempt to improve their performance, EDG has started experimenting with new options and compositions. During the Chinese franchise season’s kickoff tournament, they used a new comp with K Kang moving off the op role into KO, while smoggy took on the op role. This strategy led to victories, including an upset against paper Rex. However, it became evident that the changes weren’t working as expected, as the team faced challenges in subsequent matches.

The Importance of K Kang’s Role

Comparing rifle rounds from matches with smoggy on Rays and K Kang on inry reveals the importance of K Kang’s role on the team. K Kang’s positioning and game sense make him a deadly threat on the defensive side, whereas smoggy’s game plan has some flaws that could affect the team against stronger opponents. K Kang’s ability to take duals and switch between the op and entry roles makes him a valuable asset for EDG.

EDG’s Future Prospects

While EDG is expected to perform well in the regular season and qualify for Master Shanghai, there are concerns about their performance in international events. The team’s overall strength and the competitiveness of the global scene are factors that could hinder their success. Additionally, the confusion surrounding K Kang’s role change raises doubts about the team’s game plan. It remains to be seen if EDG can overcome these challenges and make a mark on the international stage.
