The LPL representative was asked to investigate after “salt face” left First Stand 2025
It can be said that the League of Legends community has never felt disappointed as the present time. In previous international tournaments, although LPL representatives are also strong and weak, there are certain efforts. But Top Esports at First Stand 2025 has no factor. Except for the victory of Team Liquid 2-1, the remaining, they lost all the remaining opponents, could not have any more winnings whether the opponent was KC, CFO or HLE.
Tes made the worst “achievement” in the history of Riot's international tournament when he won only TL and lost all the remaining matches at First Stand 2025.
Even, a famous coach of LPL Kenzhu is so annoyed that the request for urgent investigation of TES players. He said on the stream channel: “This team is probably thinking about it, not thinking about victory anymore. Surely in the 100% team is selling. This is clear that Riot does nothing?
Coach Kenzhu asked for an emergency TES investigation.
LPL is preparing to face a difficult period
It can also be understood in one direction that First Stand 2025 does not have too much meaning, when besides the bonus (about 300k USD), and add a capacity to the group stage of MSI 2025, there is no other impact on the common season. Not to mention, the power of HLE is too superior. Even if BLG or AL, JDG … facing the current HLE, it is difficult to win. Therefore, TES has psychological surrender is also understandable.
The failure of TES can predict the gloomy future for LPL.
However, if the story is that when Tes tried their best and the possibility of them only came, it would be a serious signal for LPL. Because TES is still a power at LPL and they will still be candidates for all participants of League of Legends in the future. If this performance does not improve, no need to wait for LCK, maybe even KCs, G2 or even Talon, VCS teams are enough to make TES or LPL have to “embrace”.
