Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The battles of LPL 2025 Split 2 are heating up. The play-offs stage is heating up at the title tournament in the Chinese region.
We're talking about the second round of the top set, where Weibo - Anyone's Legend will play. The winner advances to the LPL 2025 Split 2 Small Final, and that's the matchup for the 2025 Mid-Season Invitational.
We're trying to figure out which of the Weibo - Anyone's Legend pairing will be stronger and advance to the next round of the main stage.
Let's go.
Weibo Gaming Form
Let's open the breakdown of Weibo Gaming vs Anyone's Legend with an analysis of Weibo's playing form. In this match they are playing as favourites with odds to win at around 1.3.
Weibo Gaming can be called a newcomer to the LPL, as the club appeared on the Esports radar and big stage in 2021, and made their LPL debut in 2022.
As a rookie, the results were very good. Weibo made the top 8 twice in 2022, finishing top 6 at LPL Spring 2022 and top 8 at LPL Summer 2022.
At the last tournament played before LPL Summer 2023, the previous LPL Spring 2023 split, the team again finished in the top 6. It's not surprising, as the club has a huge roster.
- Weibo Gaming roster: Breathe, Tian, Xiaohu, Light, Hang.
Weibo Gaming very confidently entered the play-offs of the championship. In the group stage of LPL Summer 2023 the team played on the score 10-6, which allowed to take the sixth place.
Weibo's first opponent in the play-offs was Ninjas in Pyjamas, who made a great run through the group stage and then surprised in the play-offs, reaching the top 8. But obviously they couldn't win, with Weibo winning 3-1.
Weibo's next opponent in the LPL Summer 2023 play-offs was LNG Esports, who showed top flight performance in the regular season, reaching the top 2 of the league and almost beating JD Gaming in the finals. Nevertheless, it was Weibo LNG that LNG had to deal with in the play-offs, and that match ended with the score 2-3 not in favour of WG.
In the regional finals Weibo started their performance from the lower grid, where their opponent was TES. A willful 3-2 win was a key argument in favour of Weibo's advantage in this match.
Next up, Weibo played against EDG for a slot at Worlds 2023. WBG played quite a game and ended up shutting out EDward with a 3-1 score, earning a place at Worlds 2023.
In the opening match at Worlds 2023, Weibo Gaming faced off against NRG. The match ended exactly as it should have: absolute annihilation of the first team of America and an easy victory for Weio.
Next, Weibo played against G2 Esports, and this match was perhaps the most unexpected of all at Worlds 2023. G2 Esports outplayed their vis-a-vis in a mind-blowing series, thus sending Weibo to a 1-1 score. Spurred on by the loss from G2 Esports Weibo Ledgeili to host the stage in the form of KT Rolster.
Having hit the net 1-2 Weibo Gaming without any problems swatted MAD Lions, and after that went to play with another representative of the LEC - Fnatic. Weibo Gaming won the decisive match in the Swiss stage after falling behind by one card.
In the first round of play-offs WBG met NRG. The only team from the West only put up a fight on the first of the three maps played, but that wasn't even close to enough to give WBG problems.
In the semi-finals, Weibo met fellow vice-champions MSI 2023 Bibili Gaming. The LPL resident derby was one of the most colourful matches and ended on 5 maps with the score 3-2 in favour of WBG.
In the last match of last season WBG met T1 in the grand final of Worlds 2023. That match ended with a total beating of the Chinese club and T1's fourth win at the Worlds. And before the Long Sogpeg, LPL Spring 2024 had time to play at the local event of the Demacia Cup series, Demacia Cup 2023, where they reached the play-offs, but did not move further than the first round.
The group stage of LPL Spring 2024 Weibo played surprisingly poorly, as for a team of this status. WBG took seventh place in the LPL Spring 2024 regular season, finishing 8-8. In the first round of play-offs Weibo shut out Invictus Gaming with a score of 3-2. Next up was a much tougher opponent in the form of LNG Esports and Weibo Gaming managed to handle them as well, finishing the match with a score of 3-2. However, the next match, and it was the game with JD Gaming, everything ended. As a result - top 6.
At LPL Summer 2024 WBG Long Competed from Group D, where they took the top 3 and went to the top grid of the Rumble Stage. Already it was 5-3, which allowed them to get straight into the 3rd round of play-offs. There they handled NiP, closing them out with a 3-1 score. However, next was the match with BLG and there WBG were beaten 0-3. In the match for the top 3 Weibo Gaming defeated LNG in a very unexpected way to advance to the next round. LPL Summer 2024 also had a surprisingly strong performance in their match to advance to the grand finals, defeating TES 3-2. Unfortunately for WBG fans, the grand final ended quickly and irrevocably: 0-3 in favour of BLG and second place for WBG.
At Worlds 2024, last year's Worlds finalist advanced to the second place LPL Regional Finals 2024. Long Sogpeg's Worlds Championship was followed by a loss to Gen.G before beating Liquid. Next up was a loss to G2 Esports and a 1-2 setback. However, in the basket 1-2 WBG outplayed Fnatic, although Ledge beat them on the first map. They won the next series, against DPlus KIA, 2-1. After reaching the play-offs, they beat LNG Esports in the first round, but then Ledge beat BLG in the grand final.
In the 2025 season, Long Sogpeg were ranked in the top 8 at LPL 2025 Split 1. At LPL 2025 Split 2, finished Top 2 in Group A before finishing in the Top 6 at the Rumble Stage. In the opening match of LPL 2025 Split 2, Weibo defeated JDG.

Anyone's Legend uniforms
We continue our breakdown of the AL vs Weibo match with an analysis of AL's match form. In this match they play as an outsider with odds to win around 3.6.
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 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.
The 2025 season for Anyone's Legend, as for most teams, Long Sogpegged from the group stage of LPL Split 1, winning it. Next up was a solid performance in the play-offs until the grand finals, where Ledgeili TES missed out on First Stand 2025.
At LPL 2025, Split 2 won Group B before finishing top 2 at the Rumble Stage, guaranteeing entry into the play-offs. AL beat Team WE 3-0 in their opening match.

The teams have played each other twice in the last year. Both matches were won by AL.
The predicted result of Anyone's Legend - Weibo match at LPL 2025 Split 2
Despite the AL's advantage both nominal and actual, I will still venture to call Weibo the winner. As far as I'm concerned, they are ready to accelerate and will once again be a serious force on the international stage.
Bottom line: a Weibo win.
