Anyone’s Legend has made history in the LPL by qualifying for their first Grand Finals after defeating none other than former giants of JD Gaming for a shot at the LPL 2025 Split 1 trophy.

After securing considerable upgrades to the roster during the latest offseason, Anyone’s Legend is ready to contend with the very best teams in the world. Now, the team just needs one more win to qualify for First Stand and let their names be heard on the international stage.

Anyone’s Legend are coming for it all

Anyone’s Legend made a splash during the 2024-2025 offseason by landing a former World Champion in Flandre, as well as South Korean superstar Tarzan.

In Flandre, the team found the steady veteran presence the squad needed in the top lane as Tarzan is left to roam the jungle in search of setting mid laner Shanks and ADC Hope up for success early on. Following what was one of the biggest top-side upgrades in recent memory, Head Coach Tabe took no time in getting the team running like a well-oiled machine.

Giant Slayers

After finishing in first place in Group A of the LPL Split 1, Anyone’s Legend defeated LPL MVP Doinb and the Ninjas in Pyjamas in the playoffs before measuring up against none other than the formerly dominant JD Gaming (JDG). Although JDG has grown to be known as a powerhouse of the league after their three consecutive LPL titles in 2022-2023, Anyone’s Legend did not shy away from the challenge.

In true LPL style, the series between the two teams delivered a chaotic and frantic spectacle that pushed both teams to the limit. Yet in the end, it was Anyone’s Legend that came away with the 3-2 victory to make it to the Grand Finals of an LPL Split for the first time in its history.

Now, one of Bilibili Gaming, Top Esports, or JD Gaming will stand between Anyone's Legend and their first LPL trophy.
