Top Esports

Top Esports became the champions of the first split, proving they are one of the strongest teams in the region. Despite a disappointing performance on the international stage at First Stand 2025, TES showcased an excellent level of play in the first half of the season. With a stable roster and confident team synergy, they remain the main contenders for the championship in the second split. The main challenge for TES will be to correct their mistakes and confirm their dominance in the LPL.

JD Gaming

JD Gaming emerged as one of the strongest teams in the first split, losing only to two opponents – Anyone's Legend and Top Esports. Their updated roster, which includes Xun, Scout, and Peyz, showed impressive results despite lacking synergy. Now, with more time for preparation and adaptation, JDG is ready to seriously contend for the title in the second split. They have already demonstrated their strength, and this tournament will test their true power.

Anyone's Legend

Anyone's Legend became the main sensation of the first split, reaching the grand final and narrowly losing to TES. Their unique playstyle and strong team chemistry have made them serious title contenders. They now have a clear task – to correct the mistakes of the past split and finish this season with the championship trophy.

Ninjas in Pyjamas

After the addition of Doinb, NiP has taken a significant step forward. Their young and ambitious roster, led by an experienced leader, managed to create a sensation by defeating Invictus Gaming in the first split. However, they lacked stability in the playoffs. If Ninjas in Pyjamas can address their weaknesses, they could be the true surprise of this tournament.

Invictus Gaming

Invictus Gaming has bet on the return of their star lineup, but the first split was a disappointment for them. Now they have a chance to prove that their experience and talent can elevate the team to a new level.
