Both teams were fighting initially for a spot in the upper bracket finals of the 2022 LPL Summer Split playoffs, and Top Esports got it.
Fans were not surprised to see Top Esports and Edward Gaming produce blazing performances in their League of Legends series. The clash was a back-and-forth match that saw both teams winning games turn by turn.
The series was decided by the fifth game. Top Esports, in the end, outmaneuvered EDG in the final game to take the series 3-2.
Now that TES have become the first LPL team to qualify for Worlds 2022 in the process, it is now left for them to take the initiative in the current tournament.
In game one, EDG started on a strong note by dominating TES.
It became a straightforward game for them as it seemed like they read all of TES’ moves like an open book. Before winning game one, EDG countered their strategies perfectly during engages. This was all down to EDG’s teamwork, and communication were on point in this match.
As EDG dominated the game, TES was only able to secure a single kill.
TES then equalised the series with a terrific performance from their bottom lane duo, JackeyLove, and Mark. With Zero and Braum, the duo became the driving force that helped TES get their first win of the day.
Unkillable Zeri in teamfights was able to melt down EDG’s champions after getting his key items. He recorded 9/0/7 KDA in the game, showcasing his top-class skills in the game.
EDG then retook the lead in game three as a single defeat was not able to shake their spirit. All thanks to their AD carry, Viper, who led the charge for the team. Lucian was too deadly for TES and was able to single-handedly change the fate of any skirmish in the late game by picking off enemy champions with a single combo. With a 12/2/3 scoreline, the carry was able to guide EDG to a 2-1 series lead.
EDG was on match point in game four, but TES got back into it by committing to macro-style gameplay. Tian’s Sejuani was the difference for the team as his timely flanks and ambushes caught EDG’s champions off guard multiple times.
TES secured the Hextech Soul and the first Baron, crumbling EDG’s defenses against this buffed onslaught.
In game five, both teams refused to give the enemy any ground for building an advantage in an exceptionally top game. The clash witnessed closed teamfights, but TES came out on top.
They managed to ace EDG and were successful in rushing down their base to destroy their Nexus.
