Scout Exposes the “Dark Side” of His Former Team
JDG in the 2025 season is a team spending significantly in the transfer market as they bring in several notable names. Among them, Scout and especially Peyz from Gen.G are standout names that promise to help JDG achieve great results. After 2 matches in the LPL 2025 Split 1, JDG has firmly established their impressive strength with 2 convincing victories and secured their spot in the playoffs.
However, the most discussed topic about JDG and Scout does not stem from their performance but rather from Scout’s revelation of the “dark side” of EDG. In a recent interview, Scout jokingly mentioned that he feels extremely jealous of Peyz for being treated so well during his first time competing in the LPL. “I am really jealous of Peyz because in his first time playing in the LPL, he got to play for JDG, a team with top-notch chefs. Meanwhile, my first time in the LPL was quite terrible, and I just want to forget it,” Scout shared.
Right after this interview was released, many fans asserted that the aforementioned statement was aimed at EDG. Even the image of Deft receiving a meager lunch tray while playing for EDG was “dug up” again, showing that they treated their players relatively poorly. Many fans even joked that the meal quality at EDG is worse than that of high school, which is why talented players gradually leave this team.
Scout Rises to the Top with JDG While EDG Sinks into the “Abyss”
Indeed, in recent years, the quality of EDG’s lineup has severely declined to the point that they no longer have the strength to compete in the LPL. From superstars like Scout and Viper to key players like Jiejie and Meiko… they are gradually leaving EDG to find other homes. In the LPL 2025 Split 1, EDG lost both matches against TT and BLG and only managed to secure a single game win. This poor result led to EDG being eliminated right from the group stage, leaving them with no chance to compete for a playoff spot.
Meanwhile, as mentioned above, Scout and JDG have already secured their advancement and displayed an exceptionally high level of performance. Perhaps if EDG does not improve the quality of player living conditions, at least their daily meals, the “talent drain” will continue in the future. It is truly sad to see a team that once won the World Championship decline so rapidly.
