TES experiences mixed emotions
Recently, TES has finally secured a spot at Worlds 2024 after the LPL Summer 2024 finals between Bilibili Gaming and Weibo Gaming. Thanks to BLG’s victory, JackeyLove’s team has reached the biggest international tournament of the year in the League of Legends scene as the team with the highest Championship Points, only behind the champions BLG. This marks TES’s return to the highest level of international competition after their dismal performance in 2022, which saw them “vanish” before the group stage even concluded.
However, at the same time, TES also received bad news. According to information from the LPL community, TES’s manager announced that Creme may not be traveling to Nanjing with the team because he has been hospitalized due to a pneumothorax and is currently being monitored. It can be said that within just a few hours, TES fans have experienced a rollercoaster of mixed emotions. Even with their participation in Worlds 2024, the looming worry hangs over TES and its supporters.
Difficulties Surrounding TES
Creme is considered one of the best Mid Lane players among the current young talents. After a relatively tough period, Creme has gradually earned the trust of fans with his solid performances regardless of whether he plays as a Marksman or Mage. Moreover, Creme has developed a strong synergy with Tian, forming one of the best Mid-Jungle duos in the LPL today. And LPL viewers likely remember, Creme was the one who completely “shut down” Chovy at the 2024 Esports World Cup, significantly contributing to TES’s victory.
At Worlds 2024, Creme is expected to shine again to bring victory for TES. However, given the current situation, his participation in Worlds 2024 is no longer certain. If Creme is forced to stay home, it would be an irreplaceable loss for the “fallen champions of GAM.” In fact, TES could repeat their dismal “performance” from Worlds 2022 if their substitute for Xiye fails to deliver. Right now, TES fans are likely eagerly awaiting good news from their Mid Lane star on what should have been a joyful day for them.
