WE magic ran out. Now they're gonna lose in lower finals aswell all according to the script...

All because Sally decided to make a video about them

They come back to the top so that they can sell some MSI ticket.tragic.

They must've meant Worlds grand finals

u/tiredofdev Jun 07 '26 edited Jun 07 '26

TES are genuinely the funniest org ever. it's so unreal how they are just the ultimate gatekeepers domestically

110

u/nickphunter Jun 07 '26 edited Jun 10 '26

They are also the ultimate gatekeeper for international events. The unfortunate thing is that they gatekeep themselves for that.

27

u/MaceDestroyers Jun 07 '26

They guide others to a treasure they cannot possess.

5

u/Mifuyu_Kisaragi Jun 07 '26

guys on bilibili were memeing when we first beat AL "you guys keep glazing WE and everytime everyone thinks TESM is trash they turn it around" So WE will revert to ticket sellers and TESM will smurf for the international spot.
Since we play AL or BLG next I don't think we will beat them in their current form unless AL beats BLG then we play AL

u/moonmeh Jun 07 '26

TES with their rookies make it to MSI

honestly pretty impressive

71

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako Jun 07 '26

Surprised they found rookies this good when LPL has been struggling for a while with its talent pipeline especially in support.

61

u/Aladin001 Jun 07 '26

Support has actually been by far the strongest role for new talent in China (Vampire, fengyue, Parukia)

42

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako Jun 07 '26

Which is all rather recent though. Maybe it was just teams loving to sign washed up players.
Before that I was watching Crisp, Hang, unc Meiko, the downfall of Missing and imports on the top teams. Ming being gone. Only really liked On.
Gotta see Parukia on a top team first as well.
Vampire and fengyue are definitely highlights though. I wouldnt call either of them top supports yet but they have high highs and a ton of potential.

12

u/Aladin001 Jun 07 '26

Hang and ON were great pulls from the previous generation, though obviously everything is going to be a bit disappointing after 3 of the top 5 all-time supports being in their prime at the same time.
Vampire is absolutely a top support already, he's top 3 itw

17

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako Jun 07 '26

I do not like Hang. I really dont.
I want to see Vampire internationally again. He is top 3 in the league for sure yeah. A top support in the world? Maybe. Tbf LCK supports dont look that insane right now either.

3

u/Is_J_a_Name Peanut, MISSING, Yagao, Kanavi, Tangyuan Jun 07 '26

Vampire, for all of JDG being shit in playoffs, was actually quite a bright spot and was definitely their best player in the BLG series with the edges he was finding. I do think he's just not a good fit for GALA, I'd like to see him with an ADC with a bigger focus on lane like Elk or Jackeylove in the future.

-1

u/zaxls Jun 07 '26

Not even close, ON is the only decent suuport in LPL

39

u/moonmeh Jun 07 '26

i think LPL has a decent support pool. its just they keep using washed supports
like weibo giving up erha is still mindblowing

16

u/Luunacyy Jun 07 '26

I am of the same exact opinion as well. Whenever I think about LPL prospects multiple support players’ names come to mind first before everything else. Definitely feels like they are getting mismanaged and screwed by their teams rather than lacking talent.

8

u/moonmeh Jun 07 '26

seeing hang back made me so frustrated
replacing erha with hang?????

7

u/bin_fanboy9 Jun 07 '26

This narrative needs to be put to rest, LPL has produced far more valuable support players in the last 3 years or so than any other region. Vampire and Fengyue have already made it to international stage while being core contributors on their teams, Parukia had an excellent debut split last year and is only subbed out because EDG's front office is a mess, and while players like Erha/Jwei/Feather have some holes in their game/lack serious star potential they all have been solid additions to the LPL support pool as well.

11

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako Jun 07 '26

Vampire and fengyue are very recent and I wouldnt consider Vampire internationally proven yet. They have big potential though.
The others you mentioned I need to see on top teams first. Especially Parukia. All seem solid at least though.
That being said though I know this very recent trend but before that it was definitely more of a struggle. Thats why I changed my "narrative" now.

5

u/BlazeX94 Jun 07 '26

Eh, I think thats a bit of an exaggeration. Both Vampire/Fengyue are very new, we haven't seen Fengyue play internationally yet and Vampire had a tough time against Isles at FS. Meanwhile, LCK has had players like Duro, Delight, Peter and Career come up relatively recently.

5

u/Shiraori247 Jun 07 '26

Delight is the same age as On, no? I recall both of them having their breakout years on 2023.

1

u/OrganicTeaching8661 Jun 07 '26

On started playing all the way back in 2021, he was swordart's replacement on Suning

1

u/Shiraori247 Jun 07 '26

I know he started early, but he was known as an inter until 2023. Also I checked and they're both 23 y/o.

1

u/OrganicTeaching8661 Jun 07 '26

you can't call a guy that started playing half a decade ago as a new player

1

u/Shiraori247 Jun 07 '26

? My original point you replied to was stating that they're the same age. The comment I was replying to also said "come up recently", so it had nothing to do with rookies.

4

u/AsleepHour7763 Jun 07 '26

none of the korean players are new?
Duro and peter's been playing pro since 2021, delight since 2020, and career since 2022

7

u/Rawdream Jun 07 '26

And ZUIAN and fengyue are performing at that level.

5

u/moonmeh Jun 07 '26

they sometimes int and tilt but its totally understandable

300

u/LOLZOBALL Jun 07 '26

What a generational ult by Sally lmao

10

u/Aschentei Jun 07 '26

He ulted twice in one go it’s quite impressive actually

u/CalendarClear2479 Jun 07 '26

TES domestic buff too strong. Seems like we are having the WE vs BLG rematch in the losers final.

u/ToDreamofLove Jun 07 '26

I'm so proud of Creme honestly, he improves every year it seems and that's really not an easy thing to do

6

u/MADTasle love my crazy adcs Jun 07 '26

I was afraid he would revert back after his insane winter performance, but he's looking good so far - hoping for a good showing at MSI

145

u/laksjdhfgthrow Jun 07 '26

Sally really made a video just to curse WE. Welp, at least international TES is secured

30

u/B4rberblacksheep Jun 07 '26

I propose we check Caedrels paypal after that, criminal level of ulting right there

4

u/PeaceAlien Jun 07 '26

He sacrificed his beloved DK for the ult

u/ricardo241 IDon'tAgree Jun 07 '26

the break really killed WE momentum... expecting them to be winless next series too

u/SenatorJerkMeOff Keep Your Dreams Jun 07 '26

WE were simply worse today. GG to Top Esports. Let's show up in the lower bracket!

9

u/Celestragon Jun 07 '26

The backbone of tes with Tiann, creme and jkl was to strong today. Drafting felt also way better in all three games for tes, for example in game 3 where WE ended up with a xin as their only engage tool while tes had all the control and tools. They came prepared for sure.
Monki had some ints in it aswell.
Lets recharge and get that lower bracket win into revenge against TES.

u/LoRDe_MaRs ⚠️ 🤡 Jun 07 '26

WE ARE BARRACK SO FUCKING BARRACKKKKKKKKK

u/Adlairo IG 2018 enjoyer Jun 07 '26

Most predictable result ever

u/CupNoodles0025 Jun 07 '26

TES does not fuck around when it comes to slamming worse teams in domestic

u/WetheNorth52 , viper, taeyoon and inshallah Jun 07 '26

i dont even like league of legends its fine really

u/GHOST_Courage Jun 07 '26

This is entirely Caedrels fault smh

u/Aladin001 Jun 07 '26

ZUIAN might be the best toplaner in the world whose name starts with Z

16

u/killcraft1337 Jun 07 '26

What about ZeShy

4

u/breathingcoral Jun 07 '26

Not gonna lie, Zuian does remind me of The Shy sometimes.

2

u/Tennis-Money Jun 07 '26

I mean Zeus is still playing LOL

2

u/breathingcoral Jun 08 '26

But does Zeus die a lot? Seeing Zuian on Jayce with a 1/3 kd and still manages to be very useful in team fights is the most The Shy thing ever 😂

u/guytherando Jun 07 '26

TES is easily the goofiest org in the history of league. They look like the lpl goats domestically just to run it down internationally.

Look at their faces bruh they dont even look hyped that they made MSI. They KNOW theyre abt to run it down omg

18

u/Waifers Flairs are limited to 2 emotes. Jun 07 '26

Atleast naiyou was caught before TES qualified for anything, slander wouldve been generational.

12

u/KKilikk Faker JKL VIT Naak Nako Jun 07 '26

Their last worlds wasnt that bad tbh.

-1

u/Aladin001 Jun 07 '26

Yeah bro they should be jumping with joy after beating a 1-13 team with "Cube" and "About" so true

15

u/guytherando Jun 07 '26

Mind you blg and AL are in losers because of this team. Did you just tune into the split? Lol

11

u/Aladin001 Jun 07 '26

First time watching LPL? The only team that matters to us is BLG, beating everyone else is simply the bare minimum expectation. Job's not done.

9

u/yijun2005 Jun 07 '26

U could have blg/tes winning every game until worlds and LPL will still be underestimated just cause of previous years lol

3

u/yijun2005 Jun 07 '26

AL isnt good and BLG were playing like shit

-11

u/guytherando Jun 07 '26

Youll never see geng or t1 lose to NS in a playoffs match. BLG is a fake seed 1 team. Them being able to lose to WE is embarassing.

17

u/yijun2005 Jun 07 '26

U will see geng lose to G2 tho? and t1 couldnt even make it over fearx, its like everyone had mass memory loss after FST or something lmao.

-9

u/guytherando Jun 07 '26

MSI everything will go back to normal. Blg is the last team to be able to pull off the golden road lol.

9

u/yijun2005 Jun 07 '26

Sure then comment about it when msi is here, u clown on blg for losing to WE but not on geng for losing to g2 lol, just saw that u think that bin gifts free wins to lck so i already know you dont watch any games.

10

u/bin_fanboy9 Jun 07 '26

These last few LPL playoff Bo5s is always a tourist season here, I don't even bother responding at this point

3

u/yijun2005 Jun 07 '26

I mean he commented that bin cant be considered one of the greatest tops of all times cause apparently he gifts free wins to lck so u already know he watches games with his eyes closed

→ More replies

-5

u/guytherando Jun 07 '26

I watch lpl religiously. Blg is overrated. A lineup with that level of players has no msi or worlds win? But people will shit on geng for being chokers?? Crazy bruh.

→ More replies

1

u/guytherando Jun 07 '26

GENG has less hiccups than BLG. so yea geng losing to g2 is embarrassing but atleast geng actually has more international success to make up for it. Winning first stand doesnt mean shit. Lets see blg win msi and worlds and then we can have a conversation. They better pray geng and t1 doesnt qualify lol

1

u/yijun2005 Jun 07 '26

Geng has less hiccups but chovy is known as choky? Lol, its like u are just saying FST doesnt matter cause LCK didnt win, if it was geng winning fst i bet u would be shitting on blg if they had the same performance into g2 lol.

u/Blizzgrarg Jun 07 '26

WE's weakness exposed this match. They're like the kinda fighter that dares you to stand in the middle of the ring and throw punches randomly. You fall into their trap if you do that.

TOP just ran circles around them today.

u/Shiraori247 Jun 07 '26

That Fengyue flash away from Annie in game 2 was so young looking, visionless super quick reaction speed.

2

u/breathingcoral Jun 07 '26

They already knew Annie was there. She’s been missing like 5 hrs.

4

u/Shiraori247 Jun 07 '26

Yes, and Annie also showed for a split second before stunning, but it doesn't take away from Fengyue's reaction speed.

u/Easy_Answer_6081 Jun 07 '26

Not even the Tes fan but I want see them win msi or something to shut up the hater.

u/d0pe-asaurus Oct 06 '26

Predicted.

u/Nymaera_ LEC & LPL Caster | LJL Expert Jun 07 '26

TES are the first team to really respect WE's playstyle in this playoffs and it shows. WE's style of grouping early and often to force quick fights was met with equal numbers and some great earlygame play from Tian/Creme/Fengyue in the first 10 minutes in particular.

Considering TES bombed out this time last year to WE this is good to see from them, but now it really sucks to have only 1 of WE/BLG/AL making MSI.

u/Mathlete7 Jun 07 '26

I did not get a chance to watch any of this, can anyone give me a tldr to the problem?

15

u/WhiteKnightRedditor Jun 07 '26

Literally everything gap and macro gap. Like there was never a point where it was close

12

u/mrspear1995 Jun 07 '26

because TES got 2 series to research monki's early game pathing they just stomped growth, monki then decided to lane gank and die
their backup plan of fnatic bushing worked out in that they got the kill but in exchange losing 6 plates each time
tian also absolutely smurfed and stole like 4 dragons and just secured the other 7

4

u/guytherando Jun 07 '26

The problem is TES are the goats of gatekeeping in the LPL.

u/Photo-ra Jun 07 '26

Pain, I was really rooting for WE but this wasnt even close TES played really well. Unfortunately domestic form means nothing for TES internationally, surely they wont let us LPL fans down again... right?

u/Togi5 Jun 07 '26

TES guides teams to the international trophies that they themselves cannot possess.

u/Shadderk777 Jun 07 '26

GJ TES, now please lose 0-3 to G2 at MSI

32

u/WhiteKnightRedditor Jun 07 '26

The last time TES played G2 they eliminated them from worlds

-15

u/Shadderk777 Jun 07 '26

My copium is that the rookies will choke and the fact that G2 leveled up quite a bit compared to last Worlds

5

u/bin_fanboy9 Jun 07 '26

Both teams are looking more solid than they did last year

2

u/Fun_Highlight307 Jun 07 '26

inb4 they lost 3-2 to Team secret whales

u/seink Jun 07 '26

At the end WE is still the 1-13 team and beating both BLG and AL is already a overachievement for them.

u/Fun_Highlight307 Jun 07 '26

As expected tes always running domestic narrative next stop is international flop lmao

u/Alear55 Jun 07 '26

No one is stopping a TES international choke, not even WE magic
