Introduction: The S16 season is underway, and nearly all players have been paying attention to the recent confrontations. The LPL matches are very competitive. TES, one of the hottest teams in recent years, made major personnel adjustments during the winter transfer period. Their main AD, A Shuo, opted to rest, which has led to severe instability in the team's overall results. Currently, the decline is quite rapid. Recently, in a live stream, the jungler Xiaotian started making sarcastic remarks again, openly criticizing A Shuo, saying that he used to call him "Tianshen" just to annoy him. Da Huang chimed in as well. Is Jack really that petty?

Tian initiates fights and enjoys provoking JKL.

Most players are quite familiar with TES, a veteran powerhouse in the LPL. Over the years, they have invested heavily, but their results each season have been less than ideal. Many fans even joke that they rely solely on A Shuo. During the winter transfer window, TES couldn’t hold on any longer. Although they renewed A Shuo’s contract, they also confirmed he would rest for the season due to severe injuries, especially tinnitus. Doctors warned that without proper rest, his condition could worsen. As a result, TES's performance at the start of the season was very poor.

So far, there’s been no news about A Shuo’s return, and only 369 remains to carry the team. The mid laner Xiaonaiyou can gain early advantages but fails to control the game later, and the two rookie players in the bottom lane have serious issues. Initially, it seemed the team just lacked players, but internal collapse has also occurred. Xiaotian, a former teammate, openly mocked A Shuo during a live stream without showing him any respect. This sparked heated discussions online. Previously, there was a rift between the jungler and mid laner, and now it seems the entire top, mid, and bottom lanes are completely broken apart — otherwise, such harsh words wouldn’t have been said.

Tian: JackeyLove always calls Da Huang "Huangshen," but Jack loves to say the opposite to annoy people. Qingtian: But Jack also calls you "Tianshen." Tian: Yeah, that’s just to annoy me. Da Huang: I thought it was out of respect, but is Jack really that petty? Xiaotian: You have Shy who gets bashed, no one bashes Shy, but they bash Jack, and if no one else, then they bash Xiaotian. This statement quickly stirred widespread discussion across the internet. After all, these players were teammates who competed together and coordinated fairly well, with no prior rumors of internal discord. So why have they recently begun mocking A Shuo so openly?

Honestly, it seems Xiaotian himself might have some issues. The previous fallout with Doinb in Iceland certainly wasn’t one-sided. Toxic talk has been an ongoing problem for quite some time. A careless remark can easily hurt others deeply. Now that A Shuo has chosen to rest, the insults have become increasingly harsh. If A Shuo truly retires, the entire LPL region could fall into a dark period, as he is one of the few superstar players left. Most TES fans currently follow the team because of him.

Farewell thoughts

It’s surprising how Xiaotian has changed after leaving the professional scene, turning to roasting others on his streams. One wonders how A Shuo feels hearing their conversations. When they played together, things were much happier. Perhaps it’s time to reevaluate the Iceland incident from back then — it likely wasn’t just one person at fault; otherwise, the inside story would have come out long ago.

What do you, the viewers, think about this situation?
