Match Result
- Tournament: LPL 2026 Split 3
- Date: July 29, 2026
- Final Score: Anyone’s Legend 2-0 Top Esports
- Player of the Match: Tarzan
Game 1: Hope’s Viktor Takes Control
Game 1 started slowly. Both teams focused on farming and vision control. TES tried to build an early advantage through Tian. In addition, ZUIAN looked for opportunities in the top lane. However, Tarzan quickly answered every move. Therefore, TES could not build an early lead.
As the first objectives appeared, AL became more aggressive. Tarzan controlled the river perfectly. He also created space for his teammates. Because of this, Breathe and Shanks found several favorable trades. At the same time, Hope’s Viktor farmed safely and reached his power spike.
JackeyLove played Cassiopeia and dealt solid damage during several teamfights. Even so, Kael protected Hope extremely well. Consequently, TES could not reach AL’s main carry.
The turning point came around Baron Nashor. Tarzan found an excellent engage, while Hope landed multiple Viktor lasers across TES’s frontline. The fight ended quickly in AL’s favor. As a result, Anyone’s Legend secured Baron and extended their gold lead.
With Baron buff, AL slowly destroyed TES’s remaining towers. Soon after, they won another clean teamfight inside the enemy base. That victory secured Game 1 and gave Anyone’s Legend a 1-0 series lead.
Game 2: Tarzan’s Naafiri Dominates the Rift
TES entered Game 2 with a more aggressive strategy. Tian invaded the enemy jungle several times to slow Tarzan down. However, the plan did not work. Instead, Tarzan turned nearly every skirmish into an advantage for AL.
The biggest surprise was Tarzan’s Naafiri pick. Rather than farming passively, he constantly looked for picks across the map. Every successful assassination gave AL more control. Therefore, TES often entered teamfights with fewer players.
Meanwhile, Breathe continued to pressure ZUIAN in the top lane. He pushed side lanes effectively and forced TES to split their resources. Because of that, Anyone’s Legend secured Dragons and Baron with very little resistance.
Hope once again played a clean game. He positioned safely in every fight and dealt steady damage from the backline. At the same time, Tarzan repeatedly disrupted TES’s carries. Although JackeyLove fought hard, TES could not recover from AL’s constant pressure.
The final Baron fight decided the series. Tarzan eliminated one of TES’s key carries before the fight truly started. After that, AL wiped out the remaining members. They pushed straight into the base and completed a dominant 2-0 sweep.
Key Players
Tarzan – POM
Tarzan was the best player on the Rift. He controlled the jungle from the first minute. He also secured vision around every major objective.
In Game 2, his Naafiri became the biggest difference. He moved across the map constantly. He also punished every mistake from TES. As a result, AL gained control of the game very early.
Moreover, Tarzan won almost every jungle battle against Tian. Therefore, TES never found their usual tempo.
Hope
Hope played another excellent series. In Game 1, his Viktor became AL’s main damage dealer. He farmed safely during the early game. Then, he took over every important teamfight.
Game 2 was just as impressive. Hope stayed behind his frontline. He also positioned carefully in every fight. Because of that, he dealt steady damage from start to finish.
His consistency helped AL close out both games with confidence.
Breathe
Breathe quietly played an outstanding series. He pressured ZUIAN throughout both games. He also controlled the side lane for long periods.
As a result, TES had to send extra players to stop him. That decision gave AL more freedom around Dragons and Baron.
Although he did not receive much attention, Breathe remained one of AL’s most important players.
Why Top Esports Lost
TES made several costly mistakes.
First, they lost control of the jungle. Tarzan always reached key objectives first. Therefore, AL enjoyed better vision and stronger positioning.
Second, TES struggled around Dragons and Baron. They often arrived late. They also started fights from poor positions.
Meanwhile, JackeyLove played well on Cassiopeia. However, AL protected Hope perfectly. Because of that, JackeyLove rarely found enough space to carry teamfights.
Finally, AL simply worked better as a team. Their engages looked cleaner. Their communication also appeared stronger. As a result, they made fewer mistakes throughout the series.
Match Analysis
Anyone’s Legend deserved this victory. Their macro play looked organized from beginning to end.
Tarzan controlled the game’s pace. Meanwhile, Breathe created pressure in the side lane. Hope then finished fights with reliable damage.
In contrast, TES depended too much on individual plays. Their objective control looked weak. Their teamfights also lacked coordination.
Consequently, they never recovered after falling behind.
AL vs TES Final Thoughts
Anyone’s Legend proved they belong among the best teams in LPL 2026 Split 3. They controlled objectives well. They also executed teamfights with confidence. Most importantly, they stayed disciplined in both games.
Tarzan earned the MVP award after an incredible performance. Hope remained reliable throughout the series. Meanwhile, Breathe quietly controlled the top lane and created valuable pressure.
TES still showed flashes of strong mechanics. However, they must improve their teamwork. They also need better objective control before facing other title contenders.
With this 2-0 victory, Anyone’s Legend sent a strong message to the rest of the league. The team looks ready to compete for the LPL 2026 Split 3 championship.
