TES Faces “Major Challenge” Ahead of New Season
As of now, the transfer activities of the top teams in the LPL are nearing completion. Many teams are only waiting to announce their official rosters for the upcoming season to prepare for the training phase for the 2025 season. However, in the case of TES, they are currently facing significant difficulties in finalizing their roster and making announcements to fans. Therefore, they have only revealed one new member, Crisp, who plays support.
According to a TES management representative, the two new Korean members of the team have not yet been able to join due to delays in their visa applications. This situation is significantly impacting the roster announcement process for TES as they have not been able to train together as a team at this time.
TES Fans Anticipate New Roster Despite Challenges
Interestingly, after the announcement regarding the visa delays for the new members was revealed, TES fans expressed their excitement. The reason for this enthusiasm is the high quality of the incoming Korean players, which is expected to help TES compete for titles. Specifically, according to various sources, the two new Korean members are Kanavi and Coach Homme. This has been further confirmed as TES’s official Weibo account has been following these two individuals along with Crisp, the newly signed member.
The situation becomes more complicated as several star players like Xun, Wei, Jiejie, and Tarzan have left the team, while Tian has also departed. Thus, Kanavi is viewed as an exceptional choice. This roster has a wealth of experience, especially in the LPL, and can elevate the performance of players like Creme and 369. Additionally, Coach Homme is also an incredibly talented name, having previously led JDG to win two LPL titles and the MSI championship in 2023.
Looking ahead, the 2024 season for TES is seen as a significant challenge, as they have yet to secure any titles. A notable point is that TES was very close to winning the LPL Spring 2024 championship but ultimately fell short against BLG. Fans hope that with the extensive experience and expertise of Kanavi and Homme, TES will strengthen their position in crucial matches to compete for LPL titles and beyond, including international championships.
