ANYONE’S LEGEND vs WEIBO GAMING

Best Odds: AL -400 at SportsBetting | WBG +275 at BetOnline

Anyone’s Legend and Weibo Gaming last met on August 17, when AL won in two maps. The first map was close in the early game before Cui “Shanks” Xiaojun and co. took over with superb macro, while the second map was all AL wire-to-wire.

Weibo Gaming have since played four games and won two – against JD Gaming and FunPlus Phoenix. The other two, against Invictus Gaming and JD Gaming, ended in 1-2 losses.

Anyone’s Legend have managed the same 2-2 record, with two 0-2 defeats against Top Esports and Team WE and two victories against FunPlus Phoenix and JD Gaming.

Even though Anyone’s Legend are defending LPL champions, their performances this split have left a lot to be desired. They have managed a few impressive victories, but just as many head-scratching losses.

Weibo Gaming have been the same in the sense that they can have days when they’ll perform at an elite level. But they are just as capable of losing to anyone.

Even though Anyone’s Legend have proven they are capable of higher highs, they do not deserve to be -400 favorites against Weibo Gaming.

Li “Xiaohu” Yuanhao and co. have done well as underdogs this split and are an inviting bet as outsiders.

TOP ESPORTS vs NINJAS IN PYJAMAS

Best Odds: TES -1250 at BetOnline | NiP +600 at SportsBetting
When: September 8, 2025 | 17:00 CST

Top Esports are heavy favorites to defeat Ninjas in Pyjamas in the first round of LPL 2025 Split 3 Playoffs, and that comes as no surprise.

Ninjas in Pyjamas won Group Nirvana, and they bested FunPlus Phoenix in Knights Rivals 3-2. That game was a complete fiesta, and it proved that neither team is good with their decision-making.

As the odds on the top LoL betting sites suggest, this will be an incredibly tough match for Ninjas in Pyjamas. However, they would’ve been heavy underdogs regardless of which Group Ascend representative would stand in their way due to their soft schedule this split.

Top Esports were the most dominant team in Group Ascend, finishing the group stage with a 12-2 record and a four-game winning streak. While TES have had a few hiccups, namely in their last two, when they dropped maps against Team WE and FunPlus Phoenix, Top Esports were already guaranteed a top-four finish at that point.

This is a David vs Goliath type of fixture with a clear favorite. Anything less than a 3-0 sweep for TES will be a major surprise.
