Anyone's Legend Beat BLG To Win 2026 LPL Championship
Anyone's Legend beat Bilibili Gaming 3-1 in the 2026 League of Legends Pro League Split 3 Grand Final on September 13, 2026, to win the LPL Split 3 title and claim China's first seed for the 2026 World Championship.
The result and Worlds seeding were confirmed through Riot Games' LPL broadcast and published standings.
Anyone's Legend entered the final having lost six straight series to Bilibili Gaming during the 2026 season, including a 3-0 defeat in the upper-bracket final just six days earlier that dropped them into the lower bracket.
hey beat LGD Gaming 3-1 and then needed a five-game win over Invictus Gaming, 3-2, to earn a second shot at Bilibili Gaming, before reversing the head-to-head record to win the Grand Final 3-1.
Second LPL Title, First Domestic Trophy For Breathe
It is Anyone's Legend's second LPL title, after winning Split 2 in 2025, and jungler Lee "Tarzan" Seung-yong was named MVP of both the Grand Final series and the 2026 LPL season. Top laner Chen "Breathe" Chen picked up the first regional title of his LPL career.
Anyone's Legend take home CN¥1,700,000, roughly US$253,000, in prize money, with Bilibili Gaming collecting CN¥1,000,000, about US$149,000, as runners-up.
Betting Angle: China's Full Worlds Line-up Takes Shape
The result gives Anyone's Legend China's first seed and Bilibili Gaming the second seed for the 2026 World Championship, with both sides advancing directly to the Swiss Stage that begins on October 23 in Allen, Texas.
Top Esports and Invictus Gaming will contest China's third seed, with the loser facing the winner of Team WE against JD Gaming for the fourth and final LPL slot.
Betting sites pricing China's Worlds outrights typically firm once all four regional seeds are locked in, and Anyone's Legend's come-from-behind final will be weighed against Bilibili Gaming's stronger regular-season and playoff form.
All Four LPL Teams Skip The Play-In Stage
Every LPL representative advances directly into the Swiss Stage this year rather than an earlier play-in bracket, reflecting the region's Championship Points ranking from the 2026 season.
That removes an elimination round that has previously produced under-the-radar betting value for lower-seeded LPL sides at Worlds, meaning bookmakers will price all four Chinese teams on broadly similar Swiss Stage footing regardless of seed.
Anyone's Legend's title came despite a modest regular season: they went 8-2 to finish first in Split 1's Group S before slipping to fourth in the playoffs, then finished fourth again in Split 2. In Split 3 they were 8-6 for fourth in Group Ascend, reaching the upper-bracket final only after beating LGD Gaming 3-1.
Anyone's Legend underwent significant changes to their coaching staff during 2026 and replaced their starting top laner midway through the season, changes that made the run to a second LPL title less straightforward on paper. Breathe, who took over the top lane role, celebrated an emotional moment on stage after the win, calling it the first regional title of his LPL career.
