Overseas fans are buzzing about TES defeating IG: Rookie’s farewell match! Doubts arise over IG’s chances to advance to Worlds.

TES clinched the third seed for Worlds by defeating IG 3-1 in the LPL Playoffs Winners' Final. This game soon triggered a lot of overseas fan debates. Let’s check out their opinions!

- Mid Lulu? IG’s draft in the fourth game was ridiculous, making a Faker versus Rookie best-of-five match look increasingly unlikely.

- After a poor year, Scout suddenly regained form, causing Rookie to miss international competition again, which objectively is the most intriguing outcome.

- Rookie will achieve his goal of going to Worlds next year.

- This was a clash between the first and second place of the third region, yet it looked more like a battle between the top and bottom of the ladder.

- LCK’s Ram support, LPL’s Lulu mid. I wonder what surprises FNC will bring me.

- Disappointing as usual.

- I think Rookie wanted LeBlanc, but Lulu was likely a coaching staff decision.

- No sarcasm, this was Rookie’s retirement match.

- He’s already 28, so that makes sense.

- He’s truly the most passive player in the LPL right now. Other teammates still try to perform, but Rookie seems to have given up.

- Who would bet on this IG to beat JDG or WBG in a best-of-five?

- 369’s Gnar has been outstanding this season, 7-0. I can’t recall a bad game. But Hang’s ultimate was gorgeous.

- Hang has really improved a lot compared to Meiko.

- The last time I believed in TES at an international event.

- At least with TES, LCP and EU get free wins.

- Please TES, don’t fail at Worlds!

- For over five years, Rookie has never truly performed well in playoffs. He’s always just a regular season star.

- Whenever Rookie is close to Worlds, his performance always suffers.

- Europe dominates; they can win at Worlds now.

- Rookie is basically cursed in the bubble matches.

- GALA can’t overcome Akali PTSD anytime soon.

- Mid Lulu, haha.

- I’m sure Rookie really doesn’t want to attend international tournaments, judging by his performance.

- I think many will dislike mid Lulu, but I’m okay with it. A better superstar ADC would be great though, but IG played terribly.

- I believe if iG didn’t draft foolishly and stop shooting themselves in the foot at every opportunity, they could be a great team.

- iG gave away their Worlds spot this year, losing to BLG, AL, and TES.

- As it stands, I don’t think IG can even qualify for Worlds.

- Rookie should just retire already.

- Not long ago, people argued Rookie was better than Faker, claiming Faker lacked strong teammates. Now it’s clear they’re incomparable.

- Maybe it’s time to stop hyping Rookie; he missed Worlds this year and dragged the team down. Also, I never want to see Wei play again.

- Knowing Meiko’s Bard made no meaningful impact in 10 games, picking Bard for him was a crazy choice.
