Introduction: The competition for the S16 season has officially commenced, and it is believed that the majority of netizens have been closely following the recent matches. The hype surrounding the EWC World Cup qualifiers in the LPL region remains exceptionally high, especially after the involvement of some top-tier teams. Initially, it was assumed that all teams had finalized their rosters as the matches began, but after several clashes, news of personnel changes emerged. Particularly noteworthy is the situation surrounding the highly watched TES team, which invested heavily during the transfer period. Reports surfaced that 369, carrying a small backpack, intended to take a break and leave, though industry insiders later indicated that after persuasion from management, he might stay. TES has already added a new young player to their roster.

It is believed that most fans remain highly attentive to Team TES. As a longstanding powerhouse in the LPL region, their overall popularity and hype have remained relatively stable over recent years, with each transfer period centered around restructuring around AD player Aqua. In the first stage, their performance was not particularly outstanding; due to several core players taking breaks, they failed to secure a favorable ranking. In the second stage, they underwent extensive roster restructuring: top laner 369, jungler Tian, mid laner Little Cream, AD Aqua, support Feng Yue. However, this lineup's debut match against Team AL resulted in a complete defeat due to unfamiliarity.

After losing the match, fan criticism was not particularly intense, given that it was just the beginning and teams inevitably require磨合. Unexpectedly, news immediately surfaced that top laner 369, carrying a small backpack, intended to take a break. According to industry insiders, 369 wanted to rest; the club was simultaneously searching for other top laners while striving to persuade him to return. However, some sources indicated he has already been persuaded back. Late at night, updates revealed that TES promoted substitute top laner Zuian from their secondary team; 369's participation in the second and third stages remains uncertain. Additionally, it was noted that matters involving player rotations without solid evidence are treated as fluid information to avoid mishaps.

This news quickly sparked widespread discussion among players. While 369's performance against Team AL was not particularly outstanding, it hardly warranted an immediate break. Could it be due to conflicts with other team members? Previously, many netizens speculated that 369 and Tian had a strained relationship, and some even claimed that during the transfer period, certain TES starters were dissatisfied with Tian's加入. Of course, these remain rumors without concrete evidence. 369's break might also relate to his personal state.

Indeed, during the winter transfer period, numerous reports suggested 369 wished to stop playing and enjoy vacation time with his girlfriend, yet he persevered through one stage. If he rests during the second stage, TES would face a缺口. A newly promoted young player likely cannot withstand the pressure from seasoned LPL competitors, potentially rendering the second-stage transfer operations a complete joke. Now, it depends on TES management whether they can retain 369 for continued首发. Personally, I believe 369 will likely continue playing; specific details await official announcements from the club.

Final thoughts:

This revelation surprised many fans. After just one EWC qualifier match, the newly restructured TES team already faces personnel changes. Most notably, a new young top laner has joined the main roster—will subsequent qualifiers feature this新人首发? Moreover, for 369, after years in the profession, he has earned sufficiently; taking a break is entirely feasible.
