EDG League of Legends-Star Jiejie pups the benefits of the poppy

During the group stage of the League of Legends World Championship 2021, we saw the next phase of the meta-evolution of the tournament. This is reflected in the support role in which Amumu - the most locked support option during the play-ins - has stayed on the track while Yuumi has risen to take its place.

Picks continue to dominate in the jungle with strong all-in potential. With Poppy, however, a small challenger has arrived in the form of poppy in the group stage - and with a profit rate of 75% in four games in the jungle so far she has already found much success in disturbing many of the most dominant picks of the role.

So what has it with the Hammering Yordle, which she has brought from the top-lane obscurity to a potentially widespread Jungle-pick in the knockout phase? Well, according to Edward Gaming Junglerin Zhao, Jiejie Li-Jie lie Poppy s strengths in what they can do to make many of the meta-picks that are currently flying through the jungle to make life difficult.

I really feel that there are so many flexible young people in the current meta, which can move that [Quickly] over the card, says Jiejie. With Poppy equipment, she can restrict the performance of these champions naturally.

The efficacy of skills such as (w) Steadfast Presence and Heroic Charge does not only apply to jungle classics such as Lee Sin and Talon, but for every champion who likes to dive. For example, at the victory of T1 about Edward Gaming today early piloted Li, Flandre Xuan-Jun Jayce in the Supreme Lane - a choice whose all-in potential of (q) to the skies! Can be completely stopped by the guardian of the hammer.

Poppy can also cut off very well in team fighting, says Jiejie. Not only can she lock close-up opponents, but thank you (r) Keeper s Verdict also enemies hit a scramble to make sure your team has a game benefit.

On the Red Side - there we have seen them in all four group phase performances - this is particularly practical if you are fighting for the dragon pit, as Kim, Canyon s Geon-Bu demonstrated in this clip against Funplus Phoenix.

Poppy does not only bother Irelia for half of the fight, but also prevents the escape attempt of JHIN with Galeforce right now.

So we will see more Poppy, who go to the knockout phase of the competition? Jiejie certainly believes that. I really think we ll see more of Poppy at the next phase, he says.

With two other matchdays in the group stage, we are pretty sure we do not have to wait so long to see more of the little knight in the jungle. It could even appear in the first of tomorrow s encounter between PSG Talon and Hanwha Life Esports.
