As we can see from Anyone’s Legend’s recent success, their gameplay started to come together toward the end of 2024 and into 2025. Before that, the team had very poor results and virtually no experience on the international stage. This factor could play a crucial role in a high-pressure moment.
Of course, that didn’t stop them from reaching the final — they took down T1 with a 2:0 win in the Semifinals, a team they had previously lost to at MSI 2025.

Recent head to head: Gen.G Team edging it
The last time these teams faced each other was quite recently — in Upper Bracket Round 2 at MSI 2025. In a very intense series, Gen.G came out on top with a 3:2 victory.
Players to watch: Chovy and Shanks
If you’re planning to make LoL betting picks, make sure to keep an eye on Chovy and Shanks. Mid lane is one of the most crucial positions on the map, and the outcome of a match often hinges on the performance of the mid laners. Both players consistently make a massive impact and are key drivers of their teams’ success.
Chovy is known for his incredible mechanics and his mastery of champions that require precision and composure. He controls the mid lane with confidence, often outplaying his opponents in 1v1s, and moves around the map efficiently to create pressure and support his side lanes. His playstyle is a perfect balance of aggression and stability.
Shanks, on the other hand, has really stood out at this tournament. He shows excellent macro understanding, adapts quickly to in-game situations, and isn’t afraid to play aggressively when it counts. Shanks often initiates key teamfights, giving his team the edge at critical moments. His influence on the game flow is hard to overstate.
Watching the clash between Chovy and Shanks will be especially exciting — this is a duel where much more than just the lane is at stake.
Predicted result of the match
We’ve already gone over full player stats, drafts, and recent achievements — now it’s time to make a decision for this final. Who will come out on top of League of Legends at the Esports World Cup 2025?
My LoL betting prediction: a win for Gen.G
Anyone’s Legend have made incredible progress in a short amount of time, and their match against T1 showed how well they can learn from their mistakes. However, in this matchup, I’m leaning toward Gen.G. Their team coordination and individual skill are simply outstanding. If they stick to their signature style, this match should go their way.
That said, it’s going to be a very close game — one that’s absolutely worth watching no matter which team you support.
