TES Creme: 'Our Performance Varies Greatly Depending on Our Condition'
After a string of underwhelming international performances, TES has finally delivered a refreshing showing on the world stage. As the 3rd seed from the LPL, they have successfully advanced to the Worlds 2026 quarterfinals, following in the footsteps of IG as the second LPL representative to reach this stage.
The Gap in Performance
Following their 2-1 victory over BLG in the Swiss Stage, TES mid laner Creme addressed the team's perceived inconsistency. He admitted that there is a significant gap between the team's high-end and low-end performance, noting that player condition plays a decisive role in how they execute their game plan.
This volatility means that TES can look unstoppable in one match and struggle in the next, depending heavily on the individual form of the roster members.
Strategic Turning Points
Reflecting on a difficult second game where knight’s LeBlanc caused significant trouble, Creme explained how TES managed to turn the tide. While the opponent's composition was designed to scale into the late game, TES focused on effectively targeting Seraphine to disrupt their momentum and secure the comeback.
Regarding the early success of the 3rd and 4th seeds from the LPL, Creme attributed the progress of IG and TES to their preparation. He believes their ability to analyze and adapt to the current meta was a key factor in reaching the quarterfinals ahead of other LPL seeds.
Facing the LCK
As the tournament moves into the knockout phase, a matchup against an LCK team is highly probable, with T1 being the most likely candidate. However, Creme remained unfazed by the prospect, stating that the specific opponent matters less than the team's own readiness to compete.
