Karsa: it felt like... it was time we won a fifth game in a bo5. *laughs*
JKL: let's adjust for game five! *claps*

TES players prepare themselves for game five, where victory has eluded them for so long.
"It's just a bo1," they remind themselves.

The game begins terribly for TES. "Run, run," Knight says.
"We were clearly behind in the early game," Jackeylove recalls. "But I still told them: don't worry, don't make rash decisions."
In game, he calms down his team. "Don't worry, we're still up 2 drakes."

The rest of his team chimes in.
Karsa: I'm leading Kindred in levels/xp.
Knight: I'm scaling well.
JKL: we're probably only behind 2k or so.
K: yup
369: they didn't get me this time, hehe
Karsa: I'm leading Kindred in levels/xp.
Knight: I'm scaling well.
JKL: we're probably only behind 2k or so.
K: yup

369: "I knew they were specifically targeting me this bo5, so I tried to play more slowly and consistently."
YYJ: "We could always find new opportunities back into the game as long as we don't give up easily."
"I think we all trusted each other. We definitely did."

Does this look familiar to you?
JKL: "Knight--he said he got the stun, and then we just followed him and threw all of our abilities at them."
Knight: "We probably could've communicated with just one look. *laughs*"
Knight: "We probably could've communicated with just one look. *laughs*"
Comms were just a blur of "GET THEM GET THEM GET THEM NICE NICE NICE NICE FINISH FINISH FINISH".
YYJ: "Everyone played well. Even if top was targeted, he didn't die & dealt the most damage. Karsa was never behind in levels. mid... no words. He was just the best."
YYJ: (cont.) "AD was also really great, he's always that good no matter what. *laughs*"
His voice breaks a little.
"As for me...at least I can say I didn't bring them down."

The day is September 3, 2020. The Chinese casters in the background are narrating TES's story. "They've waited for and wanted this for so long now... In this bo5, they conquered themselves and conquered their opponents!"
Showered in gold, they lift their first LPL trophy.
