This game will be one of the more intriguing Round 1 games in the Swiss stage. Anyone Legend’s have had amazing recent form, as they finished their LPL campaign with consecutive playoff victories over Invictus Gaming and season dominators Bilibili Gaming, winning the entire season.
Karmine Corp, however, have had a tougher go in the LEC, but they still dominated the Play-Ins to qualify for this
Swiss Stage. They also have a victory over Anyone Legend’s earlier this year in international play, in convincing fashion too, but that was before Anyone’s Legend really found their groove in recent play. Seeing the two teams compete once more, with both having momentum, will make for an interesting first round matchup.
| Statistic | Anyone’s Legend | Karmine Corp |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 game record | 81-57 | 96-53 |
| Game win rate | 58.7% | 64.4% |
| Average game duration | 32.6 mins | 33 mins |
| Dragons per game | 2.4 | 2.7 |
| Barons per game | 0.7 | 0.8 |
| Towers per game | 6.1 | 6.9 |
| Last five series | 3W - 2L | 3W - 2L |
Both teams have similar stats, but Karmine Corp still leads by a slight edge in all the averages. They also have a higher overall game win rate, which could play a factor. But, context matters here: their season includes LEC competition, and Worlds Play-in competition.
Anyone’s Legend competes in a much tougher region in the LPL, a league which they actually won this season. Karmine Corp did not win the LEC, when they fell short to G2 Esports. While Anyone’s Legend are still favored, Karmine Corp’s statistical record makes the game more competitive than the market odds might suggest.

Anyone’s Legend
We had seen many of the matchups earlier this year, and to be frank, Karmine Corps sides outclassed Anyone’s Legends in all areas. However, Anyone’s Legend seem to be having the Cinderella story of the year now, so many of these matchups have become more interesting here:
| Matchup | AL Player | KC Player |
|---|---|---|
| Top | Breathe | Canna |
| Jungle | Tarzan | Yike |
| Mid | Shanks | Kyeahoo |
| Bot | Hope | Caliste |
| Support | Kael | Busio |
→ Tarzan vs Yike is the most interesting matchup here. Tarzan has the higher KDA at 4.68, compared to Yikes 3.71, but Yike was instrumental in the previous game to help Karmine Corp to defeat Anyone’s Legend. Jungle control could decide Anyone’s Legend establish their preferred tempo, or if Karmine Corps finds more early opportunity.
→ Hope vs Caliste is another critical matchup, as Caliste’s 5.19 KDA is the highest stat of any of these starts in the matchup. Combined with Karmine Corp’s impressive recent international results, making oit to many finalists, it's completely believable that Caliste could manage to outclass Hope again, depending on the bot matchup, and dominate the bot lane.

Karmine Corp
Given the stats, you could lean towards Karmine Corp to pull off an upset. But, our Anyone’s Legend vs Karmine Corp prediction remains the same: we believe Anyone’s Legend will pull off another victory. Here’s some tips that explain why:
Anyone’s Legend managed to be one of the biggest underdogs in the LPL, and somehow ended up first seeded and won the entire league. Their victories over Invictus Gaming and Bilibili Gaming shows the side can pull together a great performance when they remain consistent, and they have all the momentum after that league to make it happen.
Anyone’s Legend established core have great cohesion and a nice rhythm to their play. They all work tremendously well together when they are on form. The same can certainly be said for Karmine Corp, but Karmine Corp tend to struggle when they are facing another team that are locked in and organised: which is why they fell short in the LEC and Esports World Cup finals.
It won’t be a dominant victory. Karmine Corp still have that victory over Anyone’s Legend, 2-0, and they stepped up their game during the Play-Ins to dominate everyone to qualify for the Swiss Stage. But, our tips still lean towards Anyone’s Legend carrying recent momentum to a victory.
Anyone’s Legend vs Karmine Corp is scheduled to take place Friday, October 23rd, at 19:00 UTC.
Anyone’s Legend is the current market favorite, with both Kalshi and Polymarket having them at 66-67% probability to win this game.
