Bilibili Gaming enter LPL 2026 Split 2 as the main favorites to win the trophy and continue their streak of dominance. The Chinese squad have already won the first split and then added a gold medal from the First Stand, effectively making them the best LoL esports team in the world.

JD Gaming, despite not reaching the same heights, have been doing well this season. They placed second in LPL Split 1 and made the semifinals of First Stand. Regardless of the slow start, JD Gaming have progressively gotten better since the start of the season, and this trend is likely to continue.

Even though BLG are the league’s strongest team, this is still a clash between two elite squads, so it is hard to justify the -625 price tag offered by the best LoL bookmakers. JD Gaming, with what they’ve shown, should not be +350 underdogs against anyone.

TOP ESPORTS vs ANYONE’S LEGEND

Best Odds	TES +200 at BetOnline | AL -277.78 at SportsBetting

Anyone’s Legend are -277.78 favorites to defeat Top Esports, who enter Split 2 with a changed roster.

ADC Yu “JackeyLove” Wenbo is back, top laner Bai “369” Jiahao is out, and jungler Yang “Naiyou” Zijian, who was caught match-fixing, got replaced by Gao “Tian” Tianliang. The major changes will lead to some growing pains, but these swaps are a net positive.

Losing 369 is a major blow, but the return of JackeyLove and Tian taking over a jungler who was purposely losing is a massive gain. On that note, Top Esports placed in the top six in Split 1 despite playing with Naiyou, which suggests that this team’s ceiling is now higher.

While Top Esports should do better in Split 2, Anyone’s Legend are rightly viewed as a stronger team. The main question is by how much.

Top Esports have made some big changes, downgraded their top side, and gained something in the bottom lane. However, it may take time for the positive changes to come into effect.
