The information posted on the first Chinese social networks is from EDG's management, Aqua. This manager revealed that S1mon refused to participate in the team's activities, lazy in practice and did not meet the requirements from the coach. The attitude of S1mon is much worse than the rookie Jieni7, which is why S1mon was eliminated from the main squad of EDG.
S1mon even has many actions that affect EDG, including gossiping teammates. A revealed message of S1mon shared showed that the player mentioned his teammates like Smoggy also rarely shot but still normal and he was reminded. S1mon itself also revealed a message to Aqua to the fans, repeating this issue and mentioning both teammates Chichoo and Nobody.
Right in the live broadcast of Aqua, other members of EDG Valorant participated and supported Aqua's decision, showing that he wanted to play with Jieni7 instead of S1mon. All the players also recounted that S1mon expressed bad attitude when practicing and playing, affecting the mood of the team.
Regarding the result of this incident, the whole EDG team will continue to play with Jieni7 from now until the end of Masters Toronto. Meanwhile, S1mon will focus on streaming and not participating in practice. No matter how the result of EDG is, S1mon has almost no way back to EDG and the likelihood will soon leave EDG.
Currently, EDG has ended the group stage VCT CN Stage 1 2025 with the top position (4 wins – 1 loss). With this result, the reigning world champion went straight to the second round of the brake branch and only needed to win another match to win the right to attend Masters Toronto in June.
