Anyone's Legend crowned the 2026 LPL Split 3 Champions after taking down Bilibili Gaming

With their win, Anyone's Legend have also become the LPL's first seed.

Anyone's Legend have done the impossible and have been crowned the 2026 League of Legends Pro League (LPL) Split 3 Champions after taking down Bilibili Gaming 3-1 in the Grand Final on Sunday (13 September).

The Grand Final brought together the two strongest teams from LPL Split 3, with Bilibili Gaming (BLG) and Anyone’s Legend (AL) finishing first and second, respectively, in Group Ascend during the regular season.

BLG were the undisputed favourites of the LPL Season, having dominated the Split 3 regular season with a 12-2 series record, going 25-10 across individual games to finish at the top of Group Ascend. Anyone’s Legend finished second with a 9-5 record and a 22-14 game record. As the top two teams in Group Ascend, both automatically qualified for the Playoffs and received byes into the Upper Bracket Semifinals.

BLG continued their run with a 3-1 victory over Team WE before sweeping Anyone’s Legend 3-0 in the Upper Bracket Final to become the first team to book their place in the Grand Final.

Anyone’s Legend, meanwhile, opened their Playoffs campaign with a 3-1 win over LGD Gaming. After falling to BLG in the Upper Bracket Final, AL dropped into the Lower Bracket Final, where they survived a five-game series against Invictus Gaming with a 3-2 victory to earn another shot at BLG and secure their place at Worlds 2026.

Anyone’s Legend take the opening game against BLG

In the first game, Anyone’s Legend quickly took control of the Summoner’s Rift, stifling BLG’s potential to scale. BLG tried to turn things around with a scrappy team fight, with Bin finding an angle to trap AL, but Anyone’s Legend minimised their losses and picked up several kills of their own.

That allowed AL to secure the Dragon Soul shortly after, despite BLG’s attempts to stop them. With Anyone’s Legend firmly in control, BLG struggled to find opportunities and survive subsequent team fights. After a 30-minute encounter, AL took down BLG’s Nexus to win the opening game with an 18-8 kill lead.

BLG made several mistakes in the opening minutes of the second game, allowing Anyone’s Legend to pick up three early kills and build an immediate advantage. BLG briefly shifted their focus towards map objectives to keep themselves in the game and minimise the early lead AL had built, but Anyone’s Legend continued to come out ahead in every encounter, cancelling out BLG’s efforts to close the gold gap.

AL also took full advantage of BLG’s extremely squishy team composition, repeatedly denying them the space to set up around crucial map objectives in the mid game. With BLG unable to find an answer in team fights, the game quickly turned into a stomp as Anyone’s Legend continued to dominate the Summoner’s Rift and tighten their grip on the series.

After an extremely one-sided 31-minute game, AL took down BLG’s Nexus with an overwhelming 20-1 kill lead, putting themselves on match point in the LPL Split 3 Grand Final.

With their backs against the wall, BLG were more cautious in the third game, opting for a less adventurous team composition and carefully playing out the laning phase. BLG were able to rally together to pick up early kills in team fights, and as their gold lead began to grow, AL slowed down the pace of their aggression and started treading more carefully when contesting map objectives.

AL eventually found an angle during a fight in the jungle, taking down three members of BLG to close the gap. They then attempted to take BLG down in the mid lane, but BLG stood their ground and took down most of AL in the process, allowing them to secure their third dragon.

Another fight erupted in the river near the Dragon pit and swung in BLG’s favour, with Viper’s Xayah able to dodge AL’s Kennen and whittle down the health of multiple targets. With most of AL down, BLG secured the Baron as well, using the buff to take down more of AL’s turrets and threaten to break open their base.

AL attempted another fight at the Dragon pit, but Viper’s Xayah and knight’s Akali proved too strong for them, allowing BLG to wipe them out in a clean ace. BLG then marched down mid lane to destroy AL’s Nexus in 35 minutes with a 20-9 kill lead, keeping themselves alive in the series.

Anyone’s Legend close out BLG in Game 4 to win LPL Split 3

In the fourth game, BLG’s Xun made a crucial mistake in the early game, which cost his team multiple kills and gave AL an early lead. With momentum behind them, AL went aggressive in the next team fight, doubling their kill lead and putting BLG further behind.

AL continued to harass BLG’s carries, giving them little room to make plays and stretching their advantage to a 6,000-gold lead heading into the mid game. BLG managed to find a few picks to slow down AL’s snowball, but Anyone’s Legend continued to come out ahead in team fights.

As BLG attempted a Baron as a last-ditch effort to make a comeback, AL ambushed them and stole the Baron, cleaning up BLG in the process. After a 31-minute game and with a 22-5 kill lead, AL marched into BLG’s base to destroy the Nexus, winning the game and the series.

With their win, Anyone's Legend have become the 2026 LPL Split 3 Champions and are taking home CN¥1,700,000 (approximately US$253,000+) in prize money. They will also represent the LPL as the region’s first seed at Worlds 2026.

Meanwhile, Bilibili Gaming bow out of the competition in second place, taking home CN¥1,000,000 (approximately US$149,000+) in consolation. They will head to Worlds as the LPL’s second seed, having secured the highest Championship Points total among the remaining teams after the Split 3 champion.
