The main star of the Chinese scene, Zheng "ZmjjKK" Yongkang, shared what is happening inside EDward Gaming. During one of the live streams, the professional shared his experiences and explained why the team failed at the last tournament.
Recently, the Chinese professional streamed on the platform bilibili. During his interaction with fans, ZmjjKK mentioned that the main reason for the team's poor performance is the exhaustion of all players due to a very intense schedule and an incredibly large number of matches.
This year my hand hurts, and I am very tired. I am really not in shape. I really feel that my health is not okay because I played too many tournaments this year. Do you expect me to maintain 100% competitiveness after five offline tournaments in two months? Honestly, if you think you can do that, come and replace me in EDG.
Zheng also talked about the reason for the team's failure at the last AfreecaTV VALORANT LEAGUE, where the team ranked 5-6 and lost to Team Liquid with a score of 0-2.
During this long competition, we used our old strategies, which others have learned and understood. Then we try to practice something new and after that, we are criticized again. What can I do. Actually, it has nothing to do with the coaching staff. We are tired, the coaches are tired, our whole team is tired. So, I hope you really understand.
Remember that the favorites of China indeed have a very busy schedule compared to other clubs. Recently, a well-known content creator compared the number of matches played by EDward Gaming and the reigning world champions Evil Geniuses, and the difference was striking. After calculations, it turned out that the Chinese tops played twice as many matches on the international stage in 2023. Read more about this in our material.
