Weibo Gaming Eliminate Anyone's Legend to Reach LPL 2026 Split 1 Lower Bracket Final

Weibo Gaming continued their impressive lower bracket run with a 3:1 victory over Anyone's Legend in LPL 2026 Split 1, advancing to the Lower Bracket Final and eliminating Anyone's Legend from the tournament in the process. Standing between Weibo Gaming and a Grand Final berth is JD Gaming , who await them in the next round.

Anyone's Legend got off to a bright start, taking Map 1 to put themselves in an early lead. Weibo Gaming , however, showed the adaptability of a team that knows how to find their footing mid-series — they responded with three consecutive victories, taking command of midgame teamfights and securing key objectives throughout to close out the 3:1 win in authoritative fashion.

Series MVP: Jiejie

Weibo Gaming jungler Zhao "Jiejie" Li-jie was the driving force behind his team's turnaround and claimed MVP honors for his performance across the series. He finished with a 4.4/2.7/7.8 KDA and 68.8% kill participation, with his confident pathing and commanding teamfight presence keeping Weibo Gaming in control from Map 2 onwards and proving instrumental in securing the victory.

One of the most talked-about moments of the series came not in-game but in the draft phase, when Jiejie selected Warwick as a jungle pick — the first time the champion has ever been picked in that role in LPL history. The pick carried additional historical weight given that Warwick had not appeared in any Tier 1 professional play since the 2018 CBLOL Summer Playoffs, making it one of the more memorable draft moments the league has seen in some time.

Next Game Day

The lower bracket action reaches its penultimate stage on March 7, with Weibo Gaming squaring off against JD Gaming in the Lower Bracket Final. The winner will advance to challenge Bilibili Gaming for the LPL 2026 Split 1 championship title.

LPL 2026 Split 1 runs in China with a prize pool of $230,072. The top two finishers will represent the Chinese region at First Stand 2026.
