TES parts ways with bot laner JiaQi

Top Esports confirmed on March 28 that JiaQi, their bot laner, has left the organization.

The departure removes a dedicated AD carry from TES's roster, creating an immediate vacancy in the bot lane. The team will have to decide whether to promote from within, trial available free agents, or pursue an external signing to restore depth and stability in that role.

For TES this is a clear roster inflection point. The bot lane is a key position in League of Legends, responsible for late game damage and lane synergy with the support. Losing JiaQi forces TES to rebuild that pairing and adapt their champion pool and draft plans accordingly until a new starter is named.

There are no public reports of JiaQi joining another organization at this time, so the player should be considered unattached until further announcements. TES have time to evaluate options, but their window to integrate a newcomer will shrink once the LPL schedule ramps up.

Fans and analysts will watch TES's next moves closely. The club's choice will shape their mid to long term strategy, whether they aim for a quick fix with an experienced AD carry, or a longer term project via promotion or a younger signing. Expect an official replacement announcement within days to weeks as TES stabilizes the roster.
