(Homeland) - Despite possessing numerous renowned players, TES has recently suffered a painful loss in the LPL Summer 2023.
With the presence of renowned names like Rookie, JackeyLove, Top Esports (TES) is often rated among the front-runners in the LPL. In reality, before the 5th week of LPL Summer 2023, the team secured 7 victories and held the 3rd position in the rankings. This raised expectations for TES's future performance in the coming weeks.

However, entering the 5th week of competition, TES faced a painful 0-2 defeat against World Elite (WE). Even when observing this match, spectators felt TES was completely overwhelmed with no chance of victory. The team's somewhat vulnerable playstyle disappointed the community, leading them to believe TES might struggle to compete for a spot in the World Championship (Worlds) this year.
“Watching TES play truly makes me uncomfortable. Looking back, their previous winning streak came from defeating weaker teams in the lower half of the standings. In the match against WE, I didn't see any coordination from TES. If they continue like this, they have no chance of competing for a spot in Worlds 2023” - An upset fan expressed.

In retrospect of the recent match, viewers can observe that TES exhibited a somewhat disjointed playstyle susceptible to opponent exploitation. In numerous situations, Support player - Mark, attempted to initiate engagements with Rakan, but the rest of TES didn't follow suit. Consequently, TES not only lost a member but also conceded the entire match.

Certainly, the defeat against WE doesn't significantly impact TES's position on the LPL leaderboard. However, it serves as a wake-up call for the TES team to enhance their teamwork and coordination in upcoming matches. Failing to do so could lead to the real possibility of missing out on a spot in Worlds 2023, as the community has warned.
