T1 clinches victory in a dramatic five-map series against Anyone’s Legend in the lower bracket final of the Mid-Season Invitational 2025, finishing the showdown with a score of 3:2. The Korean giant managed to turn the series around, twice finding themselves in a trailing position, and now advances to the tournament's grand final.

Anyone’s Legend opened the series with strong domination on the first map, complete control of lanes and objectives left T1 with no chance. On the second map, the Koreans responded in kind—aggressive, precise, and synchronized. The third game was again under AL's full control, not allowing the opponent to even level the pace. But on the fourth map, T1, despite a strong start from AL, managed to win key fights and capitalize on every situation. On the fifth map, T1 simply crushed the opponent. Gumayusi on Jinx brilliantly closed the game, giving AL no chance for a comeback.

Despite Gumayusi's excellent play in the decisive match, the MVP title deservedly goes to Doran—he was the main pillar of stability for T1 throughout the series, repeatedly winning tough situations for his team.
