CKTG Champion Achieves Unprecedented Milestone in League of Legends History
In the recent match against CBTC Flying Oyster at the First Stand 2025, LPL representative Top Esports faced an unexpected defeat. TES was always considered a strong contender for the championship title of this prestigious tournament, but their performance on the field was challenging to accept. Furthermore, TES only had a “wild card” entry, making them one of the most talked-about names, particularly due to the surprising circumstances surrounding their participation, specifically the circumstances around JackeyLove.
Specifically, if we consider the overall performance, JackeyLove has become a significant figure by becoming the first player to win the Worlds Championship while having previously faced defeats in all major regions, including LCK, LEC, LCS, PCS, and VCS – five regions that have made League of Legends so competitive until now. Besides LPL, which is already well established, and LCK, which is incredibly strong, JackeyLove’s losses have often come from situations that “no one expected to lose.”
Moreover, the criticism surrounding JackeyLove’s performance this season has become a topic of concern within the League of Legends community. It can be said that the 2018 Worlds Champion was merely a shadow of himself in recent years.
CKTG Champion Faces Tough Times
It can be said that JackeyLove once had a brilliant career. However, up to this point, this legendary player has truly faced challenges. Just recently, the 2018 Worlds Champion had to face harsh criticism as the season ended.
In the match against HLE, or in general, the entire journey of TES at First Stand 2025, the player born in 2000 also made significant contributions. The loss to HLE marked the end of TES’s first international tournament of the year. As for LPL, the future of TES remains uncertain. However, the challenges ahead seem to cast a shadow over their continuation in the upcoming stages, just as they did in the recently concluded First Stand.
