Anyone's Legend Advances in MSI After Victory Over CFO
Anyone's Legend (AL) has secured their spot in the next round of the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) after a decisive 3-1 victory against CTBC Flying Oyster (CFO). This win follows a previous 3-1 victory against FlyQuest earlier in the tournament, showcasing AL's consistent performance.
CFO's elimination marks the third team to exit MSI, following G2 Esports and Movistar KOI. Despite the defeat, CFO made a strong impression, securing their first international best-of-five (BO5) win against KOI. The Taiwanese squad displayed exciting gameplay throughout the First Stand, leaving a positive mark on the tournament.
AL bounced back strongly after a close 3-2 loss to Gen.G in the Upper Bracket. Cui "Shanks" Xiao-Jun and his team demonstrated resilience and strategic prowess in their match against CFO. A potential rematch of the LPL final is now on the horizon, emphasizing the high stakes and the "win or go home" nature of the competition.
Key Moments and MVP
Lee "Tarzan" Seung-yong was awarded the MVP title for the series, highlighting his pivotal role in AL's success. Tarzan's exceptional jungling skills and ability to dictate the pace of the game proved instrumental in securing the victory.
Game 1 saw a surprising draft from CFO, leaving Yorick open for AL's Li "Flandre" Xuanjun and opting for a blind pick Gragas. This strategy backfired as Tarzan's Poppy secured crucial ultimates in team fights, creating man-advantage situations. Shanks, playing Azir, outperformed CFO's Tsai "HongQ" Ming-Hong on Taliyah in the midlane.
In Game 2, CFO's Rumble and Corki picks allowed AL to secure comfort picks and counter with Galio top for Flandre. Despite a brief comeback from CFO after a clutch Baron fight, AL maintained control and closed out the game, further solidifying their dominance.
The LCP champions now look forward to the Esports World Cup.
