Introduction: As the most amusing team in the LPL, many LPL viewers were expecting TES to make history during the MSI. TES did not disappoint their audience. In the BO5 match against the Vietnamese team TSW, TES was brutally eliminated with a 3-1 defeat. This marks the first time in LPL history that a team has lost a BO5 to an off-region wildcard team. Through this BO5, TES managed to create three all-new records, prompting a large number of viewers to flock to the "Sudden Top" video to leave comments, with up to 100,000 viewers watching the video simultaneously.

When TES first fell into the MSI losers' bracket, many LPL viewers joked that TES could coast into the MSI semifinals, as TSW was a wildcard team. Few believed TES would lose a BO5 to a wildcard region team like TSW. However, no one expected that after 1,358 days, TES would lose to a Vietnamese team again. In this BO5, the performance of TES's top laner Zuian and support Fengyue disappointed many LPL fans.

Top laner Zuian made repeated mistakes during the matches, getting solo-killed by opponents, while support Fengyue seemed lost throughout the games. This led TES to fall into huge early deficits in every match. Many viewers joked that TES's top laner Zuian and support Fengyue might lose their jobs in the third split, as neither player shows any sign of potential or ceiling. Because of TES's loss to the wildcard team TSW, the team created several embarrassing milestones during this MSI.

The first milestone is that TES set the worst performance record for an LPL team at MSI. Previously, an LPL team's minimum achievement at MSI was at least a top-6 finish (a record set by TES during their last MSI participation). However, by losing consecutively to G2 and TSW, TES became the first team to be eliminated in the quarterfinals of this MSI. The second milestone TES achieved is being the only team to have ever lost a single game to TSW at MSI. Before this, TSW had never won a single game against LPL or LCK teams in a BO5 series.

The third milestone TES created is becoming the first team in LPL history to lose a BO5 international series to a Vietnamese team. After witnessing TES set so many embarrassing records, many LPL viewers hope that other LPL teams can step up and prevent TES from qualifying for international events in the future. After all, TES has significant issues with both mentality and champion pool. Whenever TES players encounter even the slightest setback during a match, the entire team's mindset collapses.

As TES continued to set embarrassing records, a massive number of viewers flooded the comments section of TES's fan song "Sudden Top" video to celebrate. I checked, and the video had over 100,000 concurrent viewers. The video's creator also posted an update saying, "Since TES has gone home, I'm about to start working on a new song." It's fair to say that TES successfully fulfilled the mission the audience gave them during this MSI, creating plenty of new history and preparing to release a new album.

Conclusion

After TES's loss, a large number of TES fans flooded the team's official social media account with comments. I noticed that most fans hope TES will replace their support and top laner. Do you think the top laner and support are to blame for TES losing to the Vietnamese team? If TES eventually replaces the top laner and support, who do you think would be more suitable for the team? Currently, BLG is the only remaining hope for the LPL. I hope BLG can go on a winning streak and help the LPL secure the MSI championship.
