The League of Legends 2026 Global Pioneer Tournament will officially begin in just two days. During this week's break, due to the opening of the transfer window, several teams have announced personnel changes, with AL, TES, and IG receiving the highest attention. Today, we will summarize the latest transfer developments of these three teams and see what their rosters will look like for the second stage.

AL only adjusted the coaching staff, with no changes to the players. The best coach of the first stage, Helper, has been confirmed to be cut, replaced by the "three moles" coaches Bigwei, Jing Gai, and Ma Laoshi. Fans of BLG, TES, and WE should be quite familiar with their coaching abilities. Their coaching level isn't particularly outstanding, but as our ancestors said: three ordinary cobblers can match one Zhuge Liang.

Domestic coaches have a better understanding of league players. If they discuss and collaborate on BP, the results shouldn't be too bad. However, AL's biggest issue isn't with the coaching staff. As Tabe said: coaches' BP is based on the players—whether they can complete assigned tasks and their hero choices. Simply put, even if the coach's BP is excellent, if the players' hero pools are insufficient, it's all futile.

For TES, the changes are significant. "Brother" is confirmed to return for the second stage. The top laner and mid laner remain unchanged. The jungler must be replaced due to match-fixing, and the support Feng Yue's strength is also insufficient. Fans are clamoring for new signings. Current online rumors suggest Tian and Hang are likely to return to TES. If true, TES's strength in the second stage is honestly not low, estimated to be at least top four in the league.

Tian and Hang have both played for TES before, so磨合方面肯定问题不大, but TES fans don't want Tian back. TES has always been a team managed by fans, so there might still be changes. However, on the free agent market, Tian is the only strong option. To achieve results, they can only sign Tian. With "Brother" returning, Guo Hao不可能找一个新人打野, so Tian's probability is very high.

IG's personnel adjustments are similar to TES's scale, with changes to the top lane and the duo lane. Previously, IG wanted to bring back TheShy, but he himself isn't planning to play, so they had to settle for the next best option by挖过来Bin's substitute Wenbo. This young player hasn't played yet, so his strength is unknown, but being able to substitute for Bin suggests he shouldn't be weak. Most importantly, within LPL top laners, none are worse than Soboro.

For the bottom lane duo, Photic is confirmed to be cut, replaced by TES's first-stage Jiaqi. Reports say Jiaqi is on loan. His strength is definitely much stronger than the遛鸟AD. If磨合好的话, IG should be able to rank in the top 6. The support position is also rumored to change, with a choice between Meiko and Jwei. Between these two, it would definitely be Meiko—he has ample experience and can指挥.

Most importantly, in the current version, soft supports have a high登场率. Meiko's soft supports are inherently strong. If necessary, keeping both for轮换 is also possible, but a star player like Meiko probably wouldn't accept轮换. Soboro, this Korean import, has been truly terrible this year. IG replacing him is absolutely the right decision. In the后半段的比赛, he was a突破口 every game.

Conclusion:

AL's idea of changing the coaching staff can only address symptoms, not the root cause. To提升战力, the players need to step up. The野辅腿都快被抱断了, if the other teammates don't contribute, even with excellent coach BP, it's hard to win games. TES's next stage is truly值得期待的. As for IG, although the roster is decent, other players估计要因为Rookie连带着被骂.

So, how do you think TES's new roster looks?
