TES reportedly signs AKI or Bei Chuan

After LOL officials recently released the individual player stats for the first split of LPL, many viewers noticed that TES top laner 369 and mid laner Xiao Naiyou actually rank among the top in LPL. Especially Xiao Naiyou has multiple stats ranked second in the league, only behind LPL's strongest mid laner Left Hand. Many viewers believe TES currently has immense potential, considering that with two "veterans" leading two LDL-level players and one "match-fixing" suspect, they still managed full BO5s against JDG and WBG. Many are looking forward to TES's performance in the second split.

Some viewers even think that if TES replaces their jungler and support, they could make it to MSI or even win the championship in the second split. However, as the LPL transfer period progresses, many have noticed that TES manager Guo Hao is quite adept at placating fans. Industry insiders爆料 that Xiao Naiyou's close friend AKI went to TES for a tryout during the transfer period, and it's reported that AKI's tryout results were very good. Many TES fans, upon hearing this, were quite upset. (Remember, both Rookie and Doinb suffered greatly with this jungler.)

Besides reports about AKI trying out for TES, recently LPL's big internet celebrity Lian Lian Hong Cha also posted爆料 that TES's jungler is 90% likely to be Bei Chuan, the jungler from last year's Worlds Top 16 team BLG. After this news surfaced, many TES fans joked that manager Guo Hao is playing mind games: bringing in jungler AKI would definitely be unacceptable to fans, so then announcing TES signing Bei Chuan might make most TES fans accept this decision.

Of course, Bei Chuan's former agent recently also posted爆料 stating that Bei Chuan himself is unaware of the rumors and did not go to TES for a tryout. This statement reassured many TES fans, as most hope jungler Tian can return. However, some viewers still believe Bei Chuan might join TES, similar to how Ruler came to LPL. Ruler just days ago直播 said he wouldn't join LPL, but two days later there were爆料 he joined JDG. Note that once players sign with经纪 companies, their future choices aren't entirely their own.

Liu Qing Song's early-year actions praised by LPL management

Besides TES's mysterious jungler situation, there's also recent爆料 that a LOL championship support will return in the second split, with two top LPL teams currently competing for Liu Qing Song. Many speculate WBG and TES are the most likely contenders, given that WBG support Erha and TES support Feng Yue have performed rather抽象 this season. WBG support Erha playing Niko against JDG's bot lane duo got sent back three times within two minutes, while support Feng Yue was suspected of match-fixing by AD player Jiaqi, playing Renata against Thresh and eating five Qs in three minutes.

The爆料 person also revealed that due to an incident early this year, Liu Qing Song gained favor with LPL management, so LPL officials have recently given him many commercial activities. I also checked news about Liu Qing Song from earlier this year and found that during a直播 he responded to chat asking why he doesn't play Dota 2 with Doinb; Liu Qing Song said LOL gave him his job, so he'll stick with LOL.

Conclusion

I personally really look forward to seeing TES jungler Tian and support Liu Qing Song play together, as the championship jungler-support duo would definitely attract attention. I'm also curious why support Meiko has been silent during the transfer period. Do you think WBG, with support Erha performing so poorly, might possibly sign support Meiko? After all, EDG's jungler-support磨合 and配合 are quite compatible.
