Like stadiums for traditional sports, the LPL team��s new esports stadium will have professional facilities used in the activity, along with new business forms and multifunctional public spaces.
��EDG will have our own home field in Shanghai!�� the Twitter announcement read. ��A thousand seats, brand-new business forms, and professional Esports facilities. Thank everyone for your continuous support to EDG, let’s meet in Shanghai!��
The esports stadium will make EDG one of the few teams like RNG to have their own home. RNG��s own private facility is located in Beijing. The stadium is reportedly in line with EDG��s attempt to establish a ��Super-E�� culture and will allow esports fans to be a part of the esports world.
According to reports, the stadium will be one of the major Shanghai projects and will be located in the Hongqiao Qianwan area of the Minhang District of Hongqiao International Central Business District. The construction will be handled by EDG��s parent company, the Chaojing Group, more commonly known as SuperGen.
The project reportedly proposes a functional and rich-looking layout that will have a particular emphasis on ��new cultural creation.�� The entire venue will be over 50,000 square meters and will strive to create one of the first cultural and creative esports cities in the world.
The establishment will be a place where work and entertainment can be achieved. It will also be a social platform for the younger audience and become a place of pilgrimage for esports fans worldwide and the rest of the industry.
EDG��s SuperGen arena esports facility will reportedly have two stadiums. The first stadium will be “Super-E-Sport”, with a capacity of 10,000 meters and a 10,000 meter long track. The venue will be the central location for international events and also be used for smaller events like fashion shows, small-scale concerts, basketball games, and other sports events.
The second stadium is ��Super-Show�� and will be the organization��s main venue and multi-function exhibition hall and be mostly used for EDG��s games. It will be 6,000 square meters big, with the capacity to hold around 1,000 people.

It would also have an ecological garden and an extreme park located south of Block A Canyon Square in double connection with the sports park erected on the east side.
EDG has already released a concept of the expected final look of the arena. If everything goes as planned, the Shanghai International New Cultural and Creative Esports Centre will be one of the most significant single investment projects in the esports industry worldwide.
The project has already received an initial investment of $720 million (over 5 billion yuan). A follow-up investment for the project will reportedly be more than $1.4 billion (10 billion yuan). Construction for the arena will begin in earnest in 2023 and come to a close in 2025.
]]>The League of Legends fixture against LNG ended with a crushing 3-0 score as JDG advanced to the upper bracket finals. Edward Gaming, on the other hand, gave Top Esports a run for their money as they forced a game five series ending in 3-2 in favor of TES.
In their most recent game against LNG, EDG started strong with their mid laner, Lee “Scout” Ye-chan, single-handedly winning the first game. With the use of his champion Sylas, the player was able to intrude on their opponent��s formation in the middle of team squabbles.
While there, Scout hijacked the enemy’s champion ultimates and destroyed them. The player ended up getting a commendable 10/2/6 KDA at the end of the match.
Game two was a win for LNG as they decided to implement a macro playing style in the game to negate EDG��s moves. This was as a result of the efforts of the team��s top laner, Hu “Ale” Jia-Le, with his Camille champion. LNG was able to carry out a successful flank and decimated the rival AD carry. The move alone gave the team almost a win in the match.
EDG��s attempt to attack was further countered by Ale, who snuck into their unprotected base and destroyed the enemy’s Nexus. The top laner��s play gave LNG their first and only victory in the match.
Game three saw EDG sit up and approach the match more cautiously than the prior games. The squad was able to defeat LNG by making use of accurate rotations only achievable using grade A teamwork.
The teammates, from the top laner, Li “Flandre” Xuanjun, to Tian “Meiko” Ye, in support, were able to play their different important roles appropriately to the letter. The efforts of the five-man squad enabled EDG to regain their footing in the lead with a 2-1 score.
The final game was basically one-sided and an all-out show of dominance from EDG��s side as a result of the team being a mere match away from being the victors of the series. They ensured that they trounced the rival team in every gameplay area, such as team rotations, gawking, and others.
EDG was able to keep all their champions alive while they accomplished every jungle objective and ended the game victorious. The team is still in the running for a slot in the 2022 LPL Summer Split playoffs grand finals.
Later on today, Top Esports and JD Gaming will face off in the upper bracket finals. TES are close favorites with odds set at $1.73 on GG.BET. The loser of the match will play against EDward Gaming in the lower bracket finals on August 28.
