Detailed Game Breakdown
Game 1: OMG Strike First, EDG Collapse in the Late Game
Right from the draft, Oh My God (OMG) focused on a strong teamfight composition. In contrast, EDward Gaming (EDG) chose a control style with poke damage and heavy protection for their ADC.
At minute 5, OMG executed a clean bot-lane gank. As a result, they secured First Blood and claimed the first Dragon. Shortly after, EDG attempted a counterplay on the top side. However, slower rotations stopped them from turning the fight.
Then, at minute 18, the real turning point arrived. OMG won a massive fight around Rift Herald. They eliminated three EDG players and destroyed the mid turret. Because of that, the map opened up completely.
From that moment on, EDG struggled to regain vision. Meanwhile, OMG tightened their control over neutral objectives. At minute 28, they secured Baron Nashor. Consequently, they snowballed the game and closed it out with confidence.
Game 2: EDG Fight Back, but OMG Show Superior Composure in Key Teamfights
After falling behind, EDG changed their strategy. This time, they drafted for pick-offs and split pushing. Early on, the game looked balanced. Both teams traded objectives carefully.
At minute 14, EDG found a great catch on OMG’s mid laner. Because of this play, they secured their second Dragon. Nevertheless, OMG stayed calm.
At minute 22, a decisive fight erupted around the third Dragon. Initially, EDG started well. However, OMG’s ADC positioned perfectly in the backline. As the fight continued, OMG turned the battle around and wiped out four members of EDG.
From there, the momentum shifted completely. In addition, OMG established deep vision control. Therefore, EDG could not approach Baron safely.
Finally, at minute 31, OMG won another crucial fight near Baron. They immediately pushed down mid lane and ended the game. As a result, OMG extended the series lead to 2–0.
Game 3: EDG Mount a Strong Comeback to Keep Their Hopes Alive
With no room for mistakes, EDG came into Game 3 aggressively. Right at minute 3, they invaded the enemy jungle. As a result, their jungler gained an early advantage.
Unlike the previous games, EDG controlled the pace. They focused on Dragons and outer turrets. At the same time, they avoided risky 5v5 fights.
At minute 20, EDG showed strong macro play. First, they set up a fake Baron attempt. Then, they rotated quickly and caught two key OMG members. Because of that move, EDG gained a 5,000 gold lead.
Soon after, at minute 27, EDG secured Baron. With Baron buff, they pushed methodically. Eventually, they won a clean teamfight inside OMG’s base.
As a result, EDG took Game 3 and reduced the series score to 2–1.
Game 4: A Nail-Biting Decider and OMG’s Defining Moment
Game 4 was extremely tense. Both teams played carefully. For the first 15 minutes, the gold difference remained minimal.
At minute 19, OMG secured their third Dragon. Therefore, they threatened Dragon Soul. Because of this pressure, EDG were forced to contest the next Dragon.
During the fight, OMG’s jungler delivered a clutch smite steal. Instantly, the fight turned in their favor. They secured a 3-for-1 trade and regained full control.
Although EDG tried to defend their base, OMG stayed patient. Then, at minute 33, a decisive fight broke out near Baron. OMG won the teamfight convincingly and eliminated all EDG members.
With no defenders remaining, OMG pushed mid lane and destroyed the Nexus. Consequently, they closed the series 3–1 in dominant fashion.
Overall Draft Analysis
Throughout the Bo5 series, drafting played a crucial role in determining each game’s outcome.
OMG consistently prioritized:
- Strong early-to-mid game champions
- Reliable engage tools
- Mobility and early objective control
They frequently selected champions capable of creating impact as early as level 3–6, enabling them to snowball effectively. Additionally, OMG targeted EDG’s late-game scaling champions in bans, limiting EDG’s ability to stall games.
On the other hand, EDG favored:
- Long-range poke compositions
- Structured front-to-back team fights
- Late-game scaling
This strategy worked well in Game 2. However, in their losses, EDG struggled with proactive engage options. When behind or lacking vision control, they were often forced into unfavorable fights.
Some of EDG’s picks also appeared reactive rather than adaptive, making it difficult to recover when the game slipped out of control.
Key Highlights
- OMG excelled in controlling major objectives.
- Their team-fight coordination improved significantly throughout the series.
- EDG struggled to adapt to OMG’s fast tempo.
- Baron fights were decisive in Games 3 and 4.
Conclusion
The 3–1 victory over EDG not only secured OMG’s advancement in the LPL Cup 2026 but also established them as serious championship contenders. Meanwhile, EDG must reassess their strategic flexibility and adaptability if they aim to bounce back in future stages.
The February 10 showdown between EDG and OMG stands as one of the most thrilling series of the LPL Cup this year. With a confident and disciplined performance, OMG proved that youthful synergy and sharp execution can overcome even the most established names in the league.
