Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The regional League of Legends of Q1 2025 is reaching its climax. Almost all regions have completed their winter splits, and one of the most prestigious ones is approaching this – China.
Top Esports and Anyone's Legend will compete for the championship at LPL Split 1 2025 and a ticket to First Stand Tournament 2025. The format of the match is bo5.
We are trying to figure out which of the Top Esports – Anyone's Legend pair will be stronger and will ultimately represent China at First Stand 2025.
Let's go.
Top Esports Uniform
We open the analysis of the match Top Esports – Anyone's Legend with an analysis of the game form of Top Esports. In this match, Tes are playing as favorites with a coefficient of victory in the region of 1.6.
In 2022, Top Esports took the TOP-2 in their home league twice, and then competed at Worlds 2022, where they took the TOP-10. The situation is slightly worse in the new season: they took the TOP-7 in LPL Spring 2023, managing to get to the playoffs, but not winning a single game there.
- Tes Esports roster: 369, Kanavi, Creme, JackeyLove, Crisp.
The group stage was pleasant for TOP Esports, but far from perfect. TES shared the regular season Top 4 with LNG, winning the series 12-4.
In their first playoff match, TES faced serious resistance from EDG. TES narrowly beat their opponents 3-2.
TES fell to the lower bracket after a clash with Bilibili Gaming. That match ended with a 3-1 victory for the latter. The bad luck continued in the lower bracket of LPL Summer 2023. In the match for life at the tournament, TES met LNG Esports, tried to put up a fight, but were powerless, lost with a score of 1-3 and left the tournament in 4th place.
Later, TES played in the LPL Regional Finals 2023, where they tried to get to Worlds. Again, they fell just short: TES lost to WBG with a score of 2-3, thereby losing their chances of getting to Worlds 2023.
TES also had NEST 2023, where TES did not make it out of the group, finishing with a score of 2-1. The group stage of Demacia Cup 2023 was pretty easy for TOP Esports: they did not lose a single match in Group D and easily advanced to the main stage. However, once in the playoffs, the same ease was not seen for TES: TOP Esports lost in the very first match of the playoffs, losing to JDG with a score of 2-3, which is not so bad, considering the general condition of the teams during the last season.
TOP Esports had a very good LPL Spring 2024 regular season: the team played the season 13-3, thereby advancing straight to the Double-Elimination stage. In their first round of the playoffs, TES played against JD Gaming and easily crushed them with a score of 3-0. Next came BLG in the match for reaching the playoffs, and there was a real drama with a 3-2 victory in favor of Bilibili Gaming. In the match for reaching the LPL Spring 2024 grand final, TES played against JD Gaming and beat them for the second time.
In the LPL Spring 2024 Grand Final, TOP Esports played against Bilibili Gaming and lost with a score of 1-3.
In the first match of the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) 2024, Top Esports easily beat LOUD with a score of 2-0. In the match for the Bracket Stage, TES played against Fnatic, where they won with a score of 2-1. They debuted at the Bracket Stage with a confident victory over Liquid (3-0). Then there was a defeat to Gen.G, and then - elimination from G2 Esports and, as a result, the TOP-6.
TOP Esports also played at the Esports World Cup 2024, where they reached the grand finals but lost to T1.
TES advanced to Worlds 2024 from third place in LPL Summer 2024, where they lost to WBG. The World Championship itself started with a victory over the current world champions T1. Then there was a loss to Gen.G, and then a confident victory over Fnatic. They advanced to the playoffs after a victory over DPlus KIA. Things didn't go well in the Worlds 2024 playoffs: a 0-3 loss to T1 and elimination to the TOP-8.
The 2025 season started with the group stage of LPL Split 1, where they played in Basket A with a score of 2-1. Having reached the playoffs, they started from the first round of the lower bracket against a rather lively Invictus Gaming and won with a score of 3-1. The next match against NiP also ended in favor of TES with a score of 3-1. In the final of the lower bracket, TES beat another top opponent - JDG - closing the series with a score of 3-1.

Anyone's Legend Form
We continue our analysis of the Anyone's Legend vs. Top Esports match with an analysis of AL's game form. In this match, they will play as number two with a win odds of around 2.3.
Anyone`s Legend's best result in the team's history remains TOP-11 at LPL Summer 2022, where AL took TOP-11.
Last season they were close to a “repeat”, but stopped two lines behind, in 13th place. This split seems to be on track for a repeat of the success.
- Anyone`s Legend lineup: Ale, Croco, Shanks, Hope, Kael.
Anyone`s Legend showed themselves quite unexpectedly in LPL Summer 2024, not least due to the changed competition format. They started LPL Summer 2024 from the group stage in Basket D, where they took TOP-1. Later, at the Rumble Stage of LPL Summer 2024, AL took TOP-6 with a score of 3-5, which gave them the opportunity to immediately advance to the second round of the main stage. Having advanced to the LPL Summer 2024 playoffs, AL passed the second round, but then lost in a match against TES, thereby taking the TOP-6 of LPL Summer 2024.
Anyone's Legend, like most teams, started the 2025 season in the LPL Split 1 group stage. They played flawlessly in Group A, winning 3 games and 3. In the first round of the playoffs, Anyone's Legend beat NiP 3-2. Then, in the upper bracket final, they beat JD Gaming by a narrow margin.

Top Esports vs Anyone's Legend Head-to-Head History
Since 2024, the teams have played each other 5 times, with TES winning 3 and Anyone's Legend winning the last 2.
Predicted TES vs AL match result in LPL Split 1 2025
I expect revenge from TES in this match. After losing to Anyone's Legend in the group stage of LPL Split 1 2025, TES managed to "gain experience" in the lower bracket and will definitely be ready to meet AL.
Result: Top Esports wins.
