For Tian and the TES team, the opening match at Worlds 2024 against T1 was not easy.

TES surpassed T1 on the opening day at Worlds 2024

After the draw results for the first series of matches in the Swiss round of Worlds 2024 were announced, the encounter between T1 and TES was immediately considered the highlight match. This is not only a match between LPL and LCK representatives but also a re-enactment of the EWC 2024 Final that took place not long ago. Therefore, both teams want to win to affirm their strength and ambition to reach the World Championship title this year.

The match between TES and T1 is really the focus of attention in the first series of Swiss World Championship 2024.

And after about 30 minutes of intense competition, TES overcame Faker and his teammates thanks to their excellence in decisive fights. There, JackeyLove shined brightly with excellent positioning ability to cause a lot of damage to defeat T1 players. This victory helped TES advance to the bracket with a coefficient of 1-0 and move one step closer to a ticket to play in the playoffs round.

Tian admits that TES needs to learn from T1 in one important quality

Even though they won the recent match, TES still has great respect for the T1 team. Perhaps they understood that this victory came largely from JackeyLove's personal excellence, but in fact TES did not appear superior to T1 in laning or macro movement on the map. Even when facing a big disadvantage, T1 still does not give up and looks for opportunities to "turn the odds". So right after the match ended, TES Jungler - Tian admitted to the press that they still needed to learn from T1.

Tian admitted that TES still needs to learn a lot from T1

"Actually, I thought about facing T1 before going to Europe and I'm happy that TES defeated this opponent. I think T1 is really a resilient team and never gives up. Even when they were at a disadvantage today, T1 continued to look for opportunities to defeat us. For TES to have such resilient qualities, we still have to learn many things from T1" - Tian share.

Indeed, when watching the recent match between TES and T1, the audience will realize that the LCK representative is often the team that seeks to open fights in order to win. They were successful in catching JackeyLove at the beginning of the game and created a significant advantage even though T1 was previously somewhat inferior to TES in laning ability. Even so, JackeyLove played very well after that and didn't give T1 any chance to threaten him.

T1 once succeeded in capturing JackeyLove in a fight at Dragon's Cave and won

However, they failed in the end when JackeyLove then played too carefully and did not give T1 a chance to catch him.

In TES's next match, they continue to face another strong opponent from the LCK named Gen.G. This is a team famous for its methodical playing style, extremely tight control of the match, and is a really 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 learned from T1 to be able to defeat this strong opponent.
