Tes passed T1 on the day of launching at Worlds 2024
After the draw results in the first series of Swiss round of Worlds 2024, the encounter between T1 and TES was immediately considered a focal match.

And after about 30 minutes of intense competition, TES passed Faker and his teammates thanks to the excellence in the decisive fighting phase.

Tian admits that TES needs to learn T1 in an important quality
Despite winning the last match, Tes still won great respect for the T1 collective. Perhaps they understand that this victory is largely from the excellence of Jackkeylove individual, but in fact Tes does not appear to be superior to T1 in the road or moving Macro on the map. Even, even when encountering great disadvantages, T1 still does not give up and seek opportunities to “flip the rafter”. So right after the match ended, Tes's jungler – Tian admitted to the press that they still needed to learn from T1.
Tian admitted that TES still needs a lot of learning from T1
“In fact, I thought about confrontation with T1 before going to Europe and it was fun that TES defeated this opponent. I think that T1 is really a resilient team and never gives up. Even if they are in a disadvantage today, T1 continues to seek the opportunity to defeat us. To TES has such a resilient quality, we still have to learn many things from T1.” – Tian shared.
Indeed, when watching the last match between TES and T1, the audience will realize that the LCK representative is often the team seeking to open fights towards victory. They have succeeded in capturing Jackkeylove at the beginning of the match and created a small advantage even though T1 had previously been in front of TES in the ability to travel. Even so, Jackkeylove played too well after that and did not give T1 any opportunity to threaten him.

However, they failed when Jackkeylove then played too carefully and did not give T1 had the opportunity to capture himself.
In the next match of TES, they continued to face another strong opponent from LCK called Gen.G. This is a famous team with methodical play, extremely tight match control and a big challenge for TES. It is likely that TES will need to promote the spirit of not giving up and the resilient will that they learn from T1 to be able to defeat this strong opponent.
