Although EDward Gaming (EDG) did not have a promising start at LPL Summer 2023, their match on June 14 captured a lot of attention. The reason was that this match marked the legendary Uzi’s return to the LPL after nearly a year away from competitive play. Many people hoped that this player would help EDG perform better upon his return.
And indeed, Uzi helped EDG secure an important victory against Invictus Gaming (IG). His laning and positioning in team fights were still extremely good and at a very high level. After the match ended, many fans praised Uzi. In fact, EDG fans even contemplated a high ranking on the leaderboard after this match.
“Uzi is still at a very high level compared to other ADCs in the LPL. He had an incredibly good comeback with the victory, maintaining the necessary sharpness in the ADC position. Perhaps other teams should study EDG more closely as they have become much stronger after acquiring Uzi” – a fan commented.
With Uzi in the lineup, EDG seems to have discovered an extremely effective playstyle utilizing Elise in the jungle. Uzi’s advantage in the bot lane allows Jiejie to execute turret dives and counter-ganks effectively with Elise. In the recent game 3 against IG, EDG applied this strategy and achieved great success.
Of course, EDG’s journey in LPL Summer 2023 still holds many challenges ahead. In their next match, they will face a very strong LNG Esports (LNG). Hopefully, Uzi and his teammates can maintain their high performance and achieve favorable results in the upcoming match.
