The team must fill jungle and support roles, likely through LPL’s new bidding system, where clubs compete financially for talent.

2025 Season Recap

TES had a rollercoaster 2025, starting strong by clinching LPL Split 1 Champions with a 3-1 Grand Final victory over Anyone’s Legend, securing the LPL’s First Stand spot. Internationally, they faltered, beaten by Hanwha Life Esports (0-2 and 0-3) among other losses, finishing 3rd-4th.

Split 2 disappointed domestically, but Split 3 saw a bounce back, falling just one game short to Bilibili Gaming in the finals. At Worlds, they delivered the LPL’s deepest run, reaching semifinals before a heavy loss to T1. This trio powered the highs, with a solid 2026 foundation.

Outlook for 2026 LPL

With veterans locked in, TES aims to contend domestically and improve internationally. They are on the look out for jungler and support acquisitions, whilst rumors swirl around with names like naiyou for jungle, Hang and fengyue remain options in support for now.
