In the S15 World Championship Swiss round BO3, TES lost 0-2 to GEN, adding another defeat to their record. This match soon triggered widespread debate among international fans. Let's see what they think!
- How TES made it to the LPL finals remains a huge mystery.
- TES excels in the LPL. They play aggressively in the LPL, but once under any pressure, especially internationally, they collapse immediately.
- Although their international performance is poor, they are not a bad team. When TES plays well, they are strong, but several players have fragile mentalities and tend to overreact when slightly behind.
- Except for AL, the LPL teams all seem quite weak.
- Pure mechanical skill gap.
- The difference in AD carries is huge.
- Ruler is almost 27, both a top veteran and an exceptionally skilled rookie. Hopefully, this motivates other professional ADCs to work harder and improve in the game.
- How can other teams beat a squad with four top-tier players? Even Canyon looks much better now than in the summer split.
- To beat GEN, you either need a drafting advantage or pray that Canyon falls asleep; that's how KT and AL have defeated them.
- Yes, those are basically the only two ways to win against Gen.
- Looking forward to TES vs MKOI, a disappointing battle of underperforming teams!
- If TES is the disappointing kid, then what does that make BLG?
- Even KC managed to beat TES in a Bo3 this year, so MKOI, you can do it!
- It would be better to have TES vs BLG, the biggest losers’ clash in the LPL.
- Gen’s team coordination is outstanding, with insane teamfights.
- You can replay every teamfight five times focusing on different GEN players and witness some of the craziest mechanical plays ever. These guys play a completely different game.
- The most exciting part of this BO3 is the upcoming Hupu ratings.
- I believe there’s no perfect team in League of Legends, but Gen might be the closest to perfection.
- Every lane shows a gap; Chovy and Ruler are insanely good, always pulling away from their opponents. Duro’s reaction speed is also astonishing.
- TES will sell the last quarterfinal spot to T1.
- Is this year’s TES the LPL’s version of DK?
- Around 2018, the devil said: JKL, I can make you the youngest world champion ADC ever. JKL asked: What’s the price? The devil replied: You’ll have to play forever in eternal hell with a clueless support. JKL agreed.
- Part of the deal must have been JKL losing some brain cells, right?
- If JKL wants to win again, maybe he should stop flashing so much.
- Kanavi is a Korean spy; Creme and Hang are just as guilty.
- This BO3 was basically Gen telling TES: “Pick whatever, we have Chovy, Canyon, and Ruler.”
- This is exactly the TES we have seen in international events over the past five years.
- I think AL is the only reliable LPL team. If BLG or TES reach the quarterfinals and face AL, then beat them but get crushed in the semifinals, I’ll be very upset.
- Chovy is terrifying.
- Creme, Hang, and Kanavi are terribly bad, unbelievably so.
- The most disappointing is definitely Kanavi. He used to be the strongest jungler in the LPL, even stronger than Tarzan, but at Worlds he played the worst Pantheon I’ve ever seen.
- Stop letting Creme play Azir.
- The midlane difference in this BO3 was huge. If TES wants to aim for the world championship, they must replace Creme.
- To compete for the world title, TES needs to replace more than just Creme.
- 369 should join a strong team next year!
