EDG's tournament history is a mix of triumphs and near misses. They've secured numerous top-three finishes in various LPL seasons and have consistently received direct invitations to major tournaments. Their participation in the World Championship has seen them reach the pinnacle of success, with their Worlds 2021 victory being their most significant achievement. While they haven't always secured top spots in every tournament (e.g., they didn't place in several recent LPL splits and Demacia Cups), their consistent performance and ability to compete at the highest level have cemented their place among the top teams in the world. Their first tournament appearance was at Worlds 2014, where they finished 5th.
EDG's roster has seen a revolving door of talented players over the years, with nearly 45 players suiting up for the team. The initial roster featured legendary players like Pawn, Koro1, ClearLove, Deft, and Meiko, laying the foundation for the team's success. The current lineup comprises players like Wink, Zdz, Angel, xiaohao, and Ahn, representing a blend of experience and emerging talent. Notable former members include Flandre, Scout, Ale, Viper, Hope, and many others, each contributing to EDG's legacy.
EDG's performance in both global and regional rankings reflects their fluctuating success. While they reached the top spot in the global rankings in 2022 and achieved a high ranking of 8th place in the same year, their recent performance has seen them fall out of the rankings entirely. Similarly, in the regional (LPL) rankings, they've experienced peaks and troughs, reaching the top spot in 2021 but recently hovering around the mid-range to lower rankings. Their overall history shows a team capable of competing at the very top, but also subject to the ebbs and flows of competitive League of Legends.
