Foreword: After the end of the tournament a few years ago, a new pattern of the LPL has emerged - "two super and more strong". Only LNG and EDG are undefeated and are the strongest teams in the spring tournament. As an S11 champion, it is naturally not surprising that EDG has such dominance; and LNG has also shown great strength after welcoming Doinb. However, from the perspective of the game, EDG is still more dominant than LNG. Among the current top eight teams in the standings, I am afraid that only one team is surprising, and only one team is disappointing.
Before the End of the German Cup, the LPL official commentator Miller rated seventeen teams, and the most interesting thing is of course what B+ teams are. At that time, OMG, V5 and IG were rated as B+ teams, and from the game of the previous year, OMG and V5 performed really well, one team won a 4-3 record, and one team won a 3-1 record. However, the TES team, which was rated by Miller as the same as EDG, pulled its crotch in the game a year ago, and the S+ team actually ranked eleventh in the standings.
Before the start of the spring tournament, LNG's singles player Doinb also published an evaluation of the seventeen LPL teams. At that time, Doinb said that the LPL did not have a weak team, and said that the LPL had at least 7 strong teams, namely EDG, RNG, WBG, LNG, TES, V5 and BLP. From the standings, only the TES team fell out of the ranks of the strong teams in Doinb's mouth. It can be said that from the game of many years ago, TES is the team that has performed the most disappointingly.
369 and Casa who left TES have a very good life, 369 has gained respect in the JDG, and Casa has a second spring with Rookie in V5, only TES is still like a mess, and there are problems in everything. Casa even hinted at TES's team problems, and he felt that TES's communication was not thorough enough, and everyone was holding back. The former professional IMP has lost confidence in TES, and IMP feels that the problem of TES will not be solved in a short period of time, and the game will still be played poorly after the year. What is more worrying is that in the next year's competition, TES will face multiple strong teams, and I don't know if the players can carry it.
Blind Boy Jun analysis summary
If the eleventh team in the standings is now FPX, everyone will not be disappointed with it, because the FPX has been restructured, and only LWX is strong on paper. TES is different, the introduction of Zoom and Xiaotian, before the game was very much anticipated by the audience, known as the strongest all-China class, especially after winning the German Cup championship, it is even more popular to feel that TES can play a very good result. However, TES has lost games one after another, disappointing the audience, and what is even more terrifying is that TES does not seem to know how to win the game, cannot play the advantage of the line, and the operational decision is not good. The other teams' starting lineups are getting better and better, but TES is still rotating.
So, do you think TES can get back to its state in the next year? Discussion is welcome.
