Perhaps until now, many LoL viewers still have not forgotten the fact that FunPlus Phoenix was eliminated early at Worlds 2021 after only the group stage. In particular, they are also the first LPL team in the history of Worlds to receive 4 consecutive defeats in the second leg of the group stage. This defeat entails a multitude of consequences, the first of which are criticisms aimed at FPX players.
FPX has experienced the most forgettable Worlds in both the history of the team and the LPL
Considered a championship candidate, although FPX stumbled in the 2021 LPL Summer Finals against EDward Gaming, no one expected that Phoenix’s journey in Iceland would end in such a shameful way. And in this defeat, the Doinb – Tian couple, especially the jungler of FPX, is the most criticized name.
Doinb and especially Tian received the most criticism from fans because of FPX’s achievements
FPX disbanded and Tian joined Top Esports to replace Karsa. He left many doubts and Tian himself was not the first choice of TES at first. But after the elder Xiaopeng suddenly dropped in form, Tian returned and he became the core of TES’s victories. TES’s position after the group stage (5th place) has a great contribution from Tieu Thien.
In addition, another factor is that Tian performed very well in the matches against his old teammates at FPX. Except for Nuguri, who took a break from the game and left the LPL, no former FPX player has been able to win against TES in this year’s Spring 2022. Notably, it was Tian and TES who respectively “delivered” his two former teammates from the 2022 LPL Spring, Crisp (Bilibili Gaming) and Doinb (LNG Esports).

Many people give Nongshim RedForce the name “Revenge Squad” because all 5 main members are from different teams. But perhaps, Tian is one of the real “avengers” of the LoL village in the Spring of this year. The old FPX has disbanded, and Tian has received enough criticism that he is now showing the return of the best player of the Worlds finals.
