Anyone’s Legend finished LPL 2022 Spring in 13th place with a 5-11 record, and we don’t expect them to do much better in the final split of the season. That is mainly because Anyone’s Legend did not make any roster changes besides adding mid laner Zhou “Harder” Shi-Hao, who will likely be a substitute anyway. But there’s more.
Jungler Peng “Xiaohao” Hao, an outstanding player in 2021, left a lot to be desired in LPL 2022 Spring. Meanwhile, mid laner Deng “Forge” Jie, who is known for his assassins, will struggle in the current meta. On a more positive note, Anyone’s Legend has a solid bottom lane, but that’s about everything this team can bring to the table.
Like Anyone’s Legend, Rare Atom did not make any roster changes, but they were one of the most consistent teams in LPL 2022 Spring and even made the playoffs. That’s not to say that Rare Atom wouldn’t benefit from adding a bit more quality, but the organisation seems to be satisfied with fielding a gatekeeping team.
Talent-wise, Rare Atom are not far ahead of Anyone’s Legend, but they were very consistent in beating weaker teams, and we expect that trend to continue. However, since this is their first season match, we will play it safe and take Rare Atom on the moneyline.

Top Esports decided to keep its LPL 2022 Spring roster, and we don’t see a problem with that primarily because it’s very tough to improve this lineup. And realistically, it wouldn’t make sense to make changes to a roster that came one map short of winning the LPL crown.
Obviously, this is not a perfect team, which was most noticeable in the LPL 2022 Spring grand finals, where they struggled against Royal Never Give Up but forced the eventual Mid-Season Invitational champions to five maps is nothing to sneeze at.
Like TES, JD Gaming kept its roster intact, which is hardly surprising. Admittedly, JDG struggled early into the season, but they found their rhythm just in time to finish the regular season in third place (11-5) before crashing out of the playoffs in fourth place.
TES and JDG are two of LPL’s strongest teams, but if you put the two rosters side by side, Top Esports should have an edge mainly due to their strong(er) solo lanes. Top laner Bai “369” Jia-Hao and mid laner Zeng “Yagao” Qi are very talented, but they did not impress in the playoffs, and until we see some improvement from them, we will continue to doubt JDG when faced with other Chinese top teams.
