The Most Surprising Loss At MSI 2026...

There was the opening skit because, yes, do you know what? Let's just start with this as the first topic, even though, by the way, there was, like, some bangers, like the BLG versus T1 match, who had some really interesting back and forth.

Actually, even by the way, the Western teams, when they've even lost to some of the Asian teams, have had some interesting matches when they've been in them, and then they've had, like, chances, and they draft me.

Obviously, the thing that has to dominate this episode, next episode will be the one about the best teams there.

It has to be the top esports topic.

As we pointed out in the intro there, bro, th- what's so crazy is this isn't even the normal TES failure.

This isn't like things are just bad out the gate and you can never beat anyone good.

As I joked about there, bro, in that series against G2, they were up two games, first two games where they looked awesome too.

If you actually were an LPL fan, y- y- you were like, "See? This..." You were doing the fucking Leonardo DiCaprio and that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood meme, that one like that on the TV.

You're like, "See? That's Tian.

That's what we were telling you.

That's the guy that can do that to Skill-1." The problem is, like, moments into game three, [laughs] they just decided to go on some blabber shit, like, end the whole game for a crab.

Like, what? And then it went from that to shit the rest of the series, get your ass out of here.

And as I say, mate, that... losing to that specific LCP team is one of the craziest, like, insults to injury I've ever seen ever, like...

To... 'Cause y- if y- if...

In the first game, you could have had the whole we had, like, a moral victory type thing going on.

The last one there, that's more embarrassing than any other TES elimination [laughs] in the past.

Like, this is crazy work.

Like, I don't even...

I genuinely...

I...

Such a mixed bag, this one.

There's so many aspects.

But let's start with the G2 series.

What did you think?

It was so, um, strange, um, because, um, you know, the big, the big w- point of worry for me was, um, you know, uh, I thought that Tian internationally was looking better and better in the last ones that he played.
