Former World Champion Sets the Most Unbearable “Achievement” in League of Legends History
In a recent match against CBTC Flying Oyster during the First Stand 2025, LPL representative Top Esports faced an unexpected defeat. TES has always been rated as the second candidate for the championship of this tournament, but clearly, their performance so far has been very hard to accept. In fact, TES only secured a “wild card” to advance, and one of the most criticized names is none other than the former World Champion – JackeyLove.
Specifically, if including CFO, JackeyLove has become the first ADC and World Champion in professional League of Legends history to suffer defeats from LCK, LEC, LCS, PCS, and VCS – five regions with very strong to potentially developing League of Legends scenes at international tournaments. Except for LPL, which is too familiar, and LCK, which is too strong, all of JackeyLove’s other losses were unexpected.
Not to mention, JackeyLove’s fluctuating performance, which was once a joke in the League of Legends community, has now become a cause for concern. It can be said that the 2018 World Champion now resembles a shadow of his former self from previous years.
The Former World Champion May Be Approaching His End
It can be said that JackeyLove has had a roller-coaster career. But at this point, this player might truly be tired. Not long ago, the 2018 World Champion himself also left open the possibility of retiring after the season ends.
In the recent match against HLE or throughout TES’s journey in First Stand 2025, the 2000-born ADC contributed very little. The defeat to HLE marked the end of TES’s first international tournament this year. Returning to the LPL, TES’s future remains uncertain. However, a bright outlook seems unlikely if they continue to perform like they did in the recent First Stand.
