Edward Gaming (EDG) is a professional esports organization based in Shanghai, China.
EDG's League of Legends team, officially called EDG Hycan, competes in the League of Legends Pro League (LPL) and plays home games at the Shanghai Electric Industrial Park. It is the only LPL team to have won both the Mid-Season Invitational and the World Championship, in 2015 and 2021 respectively.
EDG's VALORANT team competes in the VALORANT Champions Tour as a partnered franchised team. Since 2022, they have consistently represented China on the international stage, attending almost every international event since their debut at 2022 VALORANT Champions. They won 2024 Valorant Champions, beating Team Heretics 3-2.
Edward Gaming (EDG) was founded in September 2013 by SanShao, BingGui, and Edward Zhu, the team's namesake; Zhu is the eldest son of Zhu Mengyi, founder and former chairman of real estate company Hopson Development. They first entered the professional League of Legends scene in September 2013, then secured a spot in the 2014 LPL Spring Split by acquiring the slot of LMQ, which had left to compete in the 2014 NA Challenger Series. EDG's first acquisitions were Jie and former Positive Energy AD carry NaMei, who both signed with the team on 10 February. Soon after on 12 February, they acquired former World Elite players ClearLove and fzzf as their jungler and support, as well as Koro1 as their top laner.
On 29 April, EDG placed first at the 2014 International Esports Tournament in Yiwu, Zhejiang.
EDG gained a reputation as a "super team", emerging as the champions of the 2014 LPL Spring Split on 25 May.[citation needed]
They continued to perform well into the 2014 LPL Summer Split, finishing in first place in both the regular season and playoffs. In the finals of the playoffs on 24 August, they defeated OMG in the LPL Spring Final on 24 August. In addition to their LPL success, EDG also found success in other events, finishing top two at every major tournament they competed in. EDG won the 2014 China Regional Finals on 7 September, securing the first seed from China at the 2014 World Championship. However, EDG underperformed at the World Championship. The team tied for second in their group with ahq e-Sports Club and ended up losing to fellow LPL team Star Horn Royal Club 2–3 in the first round of playoffs.
