We're talking about the top grid final, where JD Gaming - Anyone's Legend will play. The format of the encounter is, as before, bo5.
We are trying to figure out who of the pair JD Gaming - Anyone's Legend will be stronger and will pass to the grand final of LPL Split 1.
Let's go.
JD Gaming's form
We open the breakdown of the match JD Gaming - Anyone's Legend with an analysis of JD Gaming's form. In this match they are playing as favourites with odds to win at around 1.6.
JD Gaming became the champions of the LPL spring draw quite easily. The only difficult match came in the semifinals of the top net, where BLG gave JDG trouble by taking 2 games.
- JD Gaming roster: Ale, Xun, Scout, Peyz, MISSING.
Among other things, JD Gaming became the champions of the first large-scale The International event in 2023 - Mid-Season Invitational 2023. If we remember the group stage of LPL Summer 2023, JD Gaming fell just short of BLG's record, playing the stage with a score of 14-2.
In the first round of the main stage JD Gaming faced LNG Esports. The latter showed top flight and made the current world champions sweat for 5 maps, but the match still ended in favour of Ruler and company.
Next were BLG, who did not offer such resistance as LNG Esports. JD Gaming swept away LPL Spring and MSI 2023 finalists in the LPL Summer 2023 top final, closing out the series with a 3-0 win.
In the LPL Summer 2023 grand finals, LNG Esports gave a serious fight to the formidable JDG. Scout and company took 2 maps at once, but they were not enough to win.
JDG debuted with a victory over BDS. I would like to mention the European club, which kept in the game till about 20 minutes. It was expected that the defeat would be much bigger than the final 14-6 in favour of the Chinese.
The second match JD Gaming played against Bilibili Gaming, vice-champions of MSI 2023 and LPL Spring 2023. Being the best team in China, JDG easily defeated the third team from the Middle Kingdom, closing the series with a 19-7 score in 24 minutes.
In the play-offs match, JD Gaming played against their compatriots from LNG Esports. They won the match, but not without problems (2-1).
In the first play-offs match JD Gaming played against KT Rolster. Losing the first map, JDG showed why they are considered the main contender to win Worlds 2023: absolutely dominant game without any chances for KT Rolster residents.
Next, the situation was the exact opposite. Facing T1, JDG managed to take only one card in the bo5 series. The defeat by T1 ended JDG's Golden Road in 2023.
JD Gaming started the play-offs of Demacia Cup 2023 with a match against TOP Esports. There, JDG won with a score of 3-2. In the previous match, JDG demolished Rare Atom with a score of 3-0. In the Demacia Cup 2023 grand finals, however, they were weaker than BLG, losing 0-3 and finishing top 2.
In the LPL Spring 2024 regular season, JD Gaming finished in 3rd place with a 13-3 record. The first play-offs opponent for JDG was Weibo Gaming and JDG did well: they won 3-0. But in the next game against TOP Esports the outcome was much less favourable for JDG, where TES lost 0-3. JD Gaming met NiP in the match for the top 3 and that match was a real test for JDG, which they hardly coped with. However, they couldn't get any further into the top 3, as TES stepped in and knocked JD Gaming out of LPL Spring 2024.
At LPL Summer 2024, in the updated format, JD Gaming Long Sogpeg from Group A Opening Stage, where they rolled over their opponents, closing it with a score of 6-0. In the Rumble Stage they played with a score of 4-4, which gave them 5th place and passage to the second round of play-offs. In the first round of play-offs JD Gaming faced Ninjas in Pyjamas and Ledge beat them 2-3, becoming the top seed for LPL Summer 2024.
In the 2025 season, Long Sorge started from the group stage of LPL Spring 2025 in Group B, where they played them 3-0, advancing straight to the upper stage of the main stage. In the first round of play-offs JDG played against TT Gaming, where they were stronger (3-1).

Anyone's Legend uniforms
We continue the analysis of the match Anyone's Legend - JD Gaming with the analysis of AL game form. In this match "legends" will play the second number with odds to win at around 2.2.
Anyone`s Legend is a newcomer to the league. The team is playing their third season and so far they have not moved above the bottom.
The best result of Anyone`s Legend in the history of the team remains TOP-11 at the LPL Summer 2022, where AL took TOP-11.
Last season were close to a "repeat of success" but settled for two lines, i.e. 13th place. In this split, it seems to be a repeat of success.
- Anyone`s Legend line-up: Ale, Croco, Shanks, Hope, Kael.
Anyone`s Legend made a surprise appearance at LPL Summer 2024, not least because of the changed format of the competition. LPL Summer 2024 started with the group stage in Basket D, where they finished in the top 1. Later, at the Rumble Stage LPL Summer 2024 AL finished Top 6 with a score of 3-5, which gave them the opportunity to go straight through to the second round of the main stage. After making it to the LPL Summer 2024 play-offs, AL made it to the second round, but then Ledgeili in a match against TES, thereby taking the LPL Summer 2024 top-6 at the end of the LPL Summer 2024.

Since 2023, JD and AL have played each other 4 times and AL has never celebrated a victory.
Predicted result of Anyone's Legend - JD Gaming on LPL Split 1
In this match my bet is on JD Gaming. Despite the top game from AL in the group stage, it will be very difficult for them to outplay the current JD Gaming, and therefore will test their luck already in the lower net.
Bottom line: a win for JD Gaming.
