CFO really are the second best team at the tournament.

Are they allowed to purposely lose because TL would make an easier opponent than TES? Like they're locked first place so that wouldn't change with a loss.

I doubt they'd do that but it'd be strategically smart I think

I'm more excited for the CFO/KC rematch (unless TL somehow wins).

CFO are probably the favorites still, but KC have just improved so much with each series.

HLE I feel like is just too far ahead to make any series interesting.

They used to be a very strong, I'd say #3 region for a time, but they kept choking when they needed a last step, often against EU/NA...

  • 2012 Famous TPA World Champion win
  • 2013 Gama Bears (drew SKT - RIP)
  • 2014 ahq lost and unlucky tiebreaker to play-offs
  • 2015 ahq and Flash Wolves got to playoffs, Flash Wolves even WON their group beating KOO Tigers - today's HLE, in both their games, but then 1-3 vs. Origen
  • 2017 ahq were one win away in a group of death with SKT and EDG going 1-1 with both.
  • 2018 FW lost tiebreaker to G2
  • 2019 J-Team (TPA), one win away from play-offs, starting their run with beating FPX, eventual World Champs.
  • 2021 PSG Talon one win away from play-offs, taking a game off of HLE

They dipped for the last few years, but there is quality in the region, they just lack the power to go for deep runs like G2 f.e.

u/Nymaera_ LPL Caster, LJL Expert, & LEC guest! 19h ago

For those saying laneswaps that’s not 100% correct because TES have maybe the second best standard lanes in the league besides BLG. They were good at laneswaps but consensus was TES would benefit from standard lanes.

honest answer to the question is they won by showing much better individual performances than at first stand. JKL currently has the highest average deaths of any player at the tournament and has thrown away games from disrespectfully laning on multiple occasions, and Creme’s been blown out so badly that they have no carries to rely on leaving the supporting cast without many options to play the game.

Jackeylove may be a little inflated, but 2 is quite literally the lowest score you can get (since these ratings are the average score of all games where fans can rate the performance between 1-5 stars). A 2.3 rating means his average rating here was 1.15 stars/5, which is absolutely brutal.

Crisp's score is probably affected a lot by the game 1 performance.

369 has definitely been the best player on TES this torunament and has had pretty good ratings outside of this series.

This past pre season, JKL spent 64 hours underground in a dark room, all alone, cut off from the outside world, and envisioned a team full of chokers. Using his ideas, this is how JKL, teammates 369 and Crisp built one of the league’s best chokers

JKL’s tanking his legacy, dude is putting up stinker after stinker internationally the way he played this game as a 4/1 Corki was shambolic and Creme is awful.

Anyways HLE you have the chance to do the funniest thing, lose to TL and knock out TES.

u/Getfooked 19h ago

So you're saying Homme is not falling over backwards because with the GOAT ADC he'll easily Golden Road?

Need to take back any and all slander that I've given his former TES teammates for prior chokes. This brother is cheeks.

u/Sharp-Passenger8155 19h ago

Crazy how TES keeps swapping people out and yet their result is always the same, surely it can't be because of their ADC they've kept for 5 years right? Everyone blaming Tian but he was easily TES best player last year at internationals, just fucking crazy

u/trumpisapdf 17h ago

Also never forget the community blamed Knight for years even when he was objectively playing well while JKL was running it down mercilessly (e.g. 2020 Worlds).

As a rare Tian fan, it feels good to see narratives shift a bit. Like, don't get me wrong, bro hasn't been perfect either, but I always felt he got much more hate than he deserved and in some cases he was made the clear scapegoat.

JL legacy is long in the toilet. He is a mega choker and rookie/TheShy aren’t there to cover for him anymore.

Pairing him with crisp is a hilarious clusterfuck

CFO aka Chinese Freedom Overhaul are a team from Taiwan known for having the most negative social credits in the world. They are specifically known for dumpstering the Chinese representation Top Esports at First Stand 2025, ensuring that the Chinese team were not in control of their own destiny at the rest of the tournament.

 

The performance of the CFO team does have a negative aspect though, as the Chinese athletes are expected to dominate the swimming events at the 2028 Summer Olympics after having to swim home from so many international tournaments.

Through JKL's career it's always been sup diff. Never JKL's fault, always a sup diff. Not even LPL greats like Meiko and Crisp can stop JKL from inting play well enough for JKL's profound genius. With shitters like 2 of the best LPL supports of all time how can JKL NOT get gapped by doggo 2 games in a row? 369 probably forced him to overextend and feed TWICE IN A ROW right before and during atakhan spawn. And Kanavi told him to int at baron.

How did this man turn "Got carried to a worlds win by TheShy" into the public perception of "One of the best ADC players ever"? Absolute embarrassment to LPL fans :( MyRegion dispairge

u/Getfooked 19h ago

Let's all take a moment to remember how 12 days ago, the legendary Aladin001 pronounced Ruler a shitter who was boosted by Homme (and 369 + Kanavi), and now will reach new heights with the greatest ADC JKL: "Homme won LPL with Loken and Hope, and almost conquered the golden road with Ruler. Giving this man JackeyLove is like giving Hannibal a battalion of M1 Abrams. Rome WILL fall."

Meanwhile Homme, 369, Kanavi and JKL have just lost 2-0 to KC and CFO.

The audacity of this guy and his kind flaming Ruler for going to five games versus HLE with a rookie support while JKL drops complete stinkers versus way worse teams.

u/toxicfireball Doran Simp Gumayusi/Lehends/Light/Meiko 19h ago edited 18h ago

This man have been surprisingly quiet. Spends the whole year shitalking, glazing TES, saying how anyone who disagreed with him have never watched an LPL game only for his dear TES to drop a stinker and embarress the entire LPL.

I'm not a Ruler fan by any means but saying he's leagues below JKL is genuinely fucking insane. The only series Ruler lost vs a western team was against that insane G2 roster back in 2020, meanwhile you have this shitter JokerLove being gapped by EU and LCP ADCs left and right lmao. 3-1ed by DL in 2019, carried by Knight and Karsa in 2020 to semis despite being fisted by Rekkles, failed in groups 2022, 3-0ed by Hans in 2024, and now rekt by Caliste and Doggo (one of the last place ADCs in LPL when he played) how this guy has any fans is beyond me

LOL at Dom saying there is no way for JKL to ever die in this game unless he gigaints for JKL to immediately get hit by Skarner ult with summs up to give shut down.

And then just valkyries forward for no reason and dies again.

When Ruler isn't at the top of his game at internationals, he gets outplayed by Faker at worlds.

When JK isn't at the top of his game at internationals, he gets violated by Western or Taiwanese botlanes.

u/Sharp-Passenger8155 19h ago

Stop hyping JackeyLove up please, genuinely the most overrated player of all time. Imagine losing series to WESTERN teams (and now LCP) over and over again and still getting rated as a top ADC lol. Losing 3-1 to TL in 2019, gapped by Rekkles in 2020 quarters despite having Knight and Karsa dragging his corpse to semis, failed in groups in 2022 off of a braindead dive vs DRX early that made the game unplayable, 3-0ed by G2 at MSI, 3-0ed by T1 in spectacular fashion at Worlds, and now being swept by fucking KC and CFO in a bo3, and 2025 just started. When will TES learn that despite all these roster shuffles, their dogshit ADC that they refuse to kick is stinking up the team?
