China’s LPL Split 1 has finally reached its Grand Final! After two months of intense competition, Anyone’s Legend and Top Esports will face each other once again in a Grand Final, following their clash at the Demacia Cup 2024.
Anyone’s Legend Analysis
Anyone’s Legend (AL) has performed beyond fans’ expectations this season. From advancing as the first seed in their group to defeating Ninjas in Pyjamas (NIP) and JD Gaming (JDG) in two intense 5-game series during the knockout stage, AL has proven their endurance and deep champion pool.
Veteran top laner Li "Flandre" Xuanjun and jungler Lee "Tarzan" Seung-yong have showcased their versatility, making the team’s drafting more flexible. Mid laner Cui "Shanks" Xiaojun and AD Carry Wang "Hope" Jie have consistently delivered clutch plays and montage-worthy moments, often carrying their team to victory. Support Kim "Kael" Jin-hong has also shined on specific picks like Poppy, adding another layer to AL’s strategy.
Right now, AL looks nearly invincible as they fight for the organization’s first-ever LPL title.
Top Esports Analysis
Top Esports (TES) were placed in the same group as Anyone’s Legend (AL) during the group stage. They advanced as the second seed, meaning their knockout stage journey began in the lower bracket, making their path significantly tougher than AL’s. While AL triumphed in the upper bracket, TES fought their way through the lower bracket, defeating strong opponents like Invictus Gaming (IG), Ninjas in Pyjamas (NIP), Bilibili Gaming (BLG), and JD Gaming (JDG) - all teams stacked with star players.
TES won every best-of-5 match in the knockout stage with a 3-1 score, never needing to go to a fifth game. This impressive run highlights their growth and adaptability. Top laner Bai "369" Jiahao has started playing carry champions like Gnar and Rumble, adding more flexibility to the team’s tactics. Jungler Seo "Kanavi" Jin-hyeok has regained his form, delivering standout performances during the knockout stage. Mid laner Lin "Creme" Jian has overcome his past struggles with a limited champion pool, while AD Carry Wenbo "JackeyLove" Yu has become more consistent in dealing damage and carrying games, avoiding his previous tendency for sudden, high-risk plays. Support Liu "Crisp" Qingsong has also been a rock for the team, excelling on protective support champions.
TES has evolved significantly during their knockout stage journey. Now, the question remains: Can they finally take their revenge against AL in the Grand Final?
Grand Final Best Bets
Money Line odds currently favor TES, who are priced at -149* with AL the underdgos at +122*. For a safer bet, AL Handicap +1.5 (-186*) could be a solid choice, if you expect AL to win at least two games in the series. For higher risk players, AL Money Line (+122*) might be worth considering if you believe AL can extend its winning streak to three straight matches against TES.
When it comes to the Total Maps market, this is a tougher call. AL has consistently won in 5-game series, while TES has not been pushed to a fifth game during the knockout stage. However, I’d recommend Total Maps Over 4.5 (+163*), predicting that AL could at least force the series to a fifth game.
