Look Sports Media – Anyone’s Legend, a team that until recently languished in the lower echelons of the LPL, has achieved the unthinkable: qualification for the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI). This marks not only their first-ever international appearance but also a stunning upset victory over the favored Bilibili Gaming in the LPL 2025 Split 2 Playoffs.
The road to MSI has been a remarkable journey for Anyone’s Legend. Formed largely from LPL veterans, the team, previously known as Rogue Warriors, struggled after their 2021 rebranding. A significant roster overhaul in 2025, spearheaded by the additions of star players Flandre and Tarzan, proved to be a turning point. Their success culminated in a Demacia Cup victory at the end of 2024, setting the stage for their dominant 2025 performance.
This year, Anyone’s Legend defied expectations, topping their regular season group and reaching the LPL Spring Split finals, ultimately falling to Top Esports. Their Split 2 run has been even more impressive. Their thrilling 3-2 victory over Bilibili Gaming in the playoffs secured their MSI berth and a spot in the Split 2 finals. The series was a rollercoaster, showcasing both teams’ strengths and weaknesses. Bilibili Gaming dominated games two and four, but Anyone’s Legend’s resilience and strategic prowess shone through in the pivotal moments, ultimately securing their place on the world stage.

This MSI qualification is a testament to Anyone’s Legend’s dedication and the effectiveness of their revamped roster.

Adding to their incredible year, Anyone’s Legend has also qualified for the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia next month. Their transformation from an 11th-place team to a major international contender is a story for the ages, and the esports world watches with bated breath to see what they can achieve next.
