Foreword: Since TES advanced to the top three of the LPL playoffs, many fans have fantasized about them qualifying for MSI. The LPL official recently released a podcast variety show with TES stars JKL and Xiao Cream. In the video, they talked about the team's daily life fun facts and also shared who they would most like to face if TES makes it to MSI.

"League of Legends turns people into ghosts."

As LPL star players, many fans want to know what the private lives of TES members are like, so during the variety show, host Ji De asked many "bizarre questions." One of these was whether JKL, a ten-year veteran of the LPL, ever gets angry during scrims or ranked games, given that the public often calls him a "great character" and believes his good temper makes him infinitely tolerant of teammates.

Xiao Cream revealed in the show that JKL has two different personalities: in ranked games, when encountering bad teammates, he immediately tilts and complains; but in scrims, he holds back and only vents during post-game reviews. Xiao Cream understood JKL and even quoted the famous LOL saying: "League of Legends turns people into ghosts."(Even someone with JKL's great character can't help but tilt and complain when meeting terrible teammates.)

The inside story of dissatisfaction with Coach Redmi's draft.

Last year, TES released a documentary that showed Xiao Cream angrily criticizing Redmi's last-minute draft change that caused TES to lose to KT at Worlds. LPL caster Ji De wanted to know why Xiao Cream said those things in the lounge and hoped Xiao Cream could recreate the scene. Xiao Cream explained that his complaints were entirely because Redmi didn't trust his ability enough.

In the interview, Xiao Cream also revealed the inside story of TES's scrims at that time. He said that during practice, it was agreed he would play three specific champions against BDD, but on match day, Redmi banned three mid lane champions without consulting him. When Xiao Cream asked what champion he should pick, Redmi didn't tell him and just said "figure it out." (Of course, this complaint was made behind Redmi's back; Xiao Cream was venting to the assistant coach, but the official edit included it in the documentary.)

JKL and Xiao Cream's most desired opponents exposed.

Finally, Ji De asked JKL and Xiao Cream who they most want to meet at MSI. Xiao Cream publicly said he most wants to face LCK's HLE, with a cryptic reason: "Those who know, know." JKL said he most wants to face G2, because after losing to them once in 2024, G2 has been "stuck" to him; although TES beat them later at the Esports World Cup and Worlds, some people keep bringing it up, so he wants to take revenge on G2 at MSI. (Do you think TES can qualify for MSI? Can TES beat HLE and G2?)
