Summary

JD Gaming receive the narrow prediction because of their positive 2026 head-to-head record and the carry potential of GALA and JunJia.

Anyone’s Legend remain extremely dangerous. Tarzan and Shanks can control the middle of the map, while Hope and Kael give AL a reliable late-game bottom lane.

JD Gaming vs Anyone’s Legend Match Details

Split 3 is the final major domestic stage of the 2026 LPL season and helps determine qualification for the League of Legends World Championship.

Expected Rosters

Riot’s LoL Esports team page lists Xiaoxu, JunJia, HongQ, GALA and Vampire for JD Gaming. Anyone’s Legend continue with Flandre, Tarzan, Shanks, Hope and Kael.

JD Gaming Team Preview

JD Gaming enter Split 3 after competing at the 2026 Esports World Cup.

Their international results included victories over LYON and LOS, followed by defeats against Hanwha Life Esports and Gen.G. Although JDG did not progress deep into the event, the matches gave the roster recent experience against elite opposition.

JDG’s lineup is built around:

• Xiaoxu’s flexibility in the top lane;
• JunJia’s objective control;
• HongQ’s mid-lane development;
• GALA’s late-game damage;
• Vampire’s engage and vision work.

The team’s clearest strength is its ability to play through the bottom side without completely abandoning the top lane.

Xiaoxu vs Flandre

Xiaoxu faces one of the LPL’s most experienced top laners.

Flandre can play tanks, weak-side champions and carry-oriented counterpicks. His experience gives Anyone’s Legend greater strategic flexibility during the draft.

Xiaoxu should focus on maintaining a stable lane and arriving at neutral objectives without falling behind in resources.

JDG do not need to win through the top lane. They need Xiaoxu to prevent Flandre from controlling side lanes while JunJia directs resources toward GALA.

JunJia as JDG’s Main Early-Game Player

JunJia has repeatedly performed well against Anyone’s Legend.

He received Player of the Match recognition when JD Gaming defeated AL 2-1 on May 10. JDG also won 2-0 in their earlier Split 2 meeting, with JunJia playing an important role in controlling the early map.

His priorities should include:

1. Tracking Tarzan’s opening jungle route.
2. Establishing river vision with HongQ.
3. Protecting GALA’s bottom-lane farming position.
4. Avoiding forced objective contests without lane priority.
5. Converting successful fights into towers and dragons.

HongQ’s Mid-Lane Test

HongQ faces a difficult matchup against Shanks.

Shanks is an experienced carry who can control team fights through both damage and positioning. HongQ needs to avoid losing the mid wave before early river objectives.

JDG may select a stable control mage for HongQ rather than asking him to create the entire early-game advantage.

If he keeps the lane balanced, JunJia and Vampire can focus on controlling Tarzan’s movement.

GALA as JD Gaming’s Main Carry

GALA remains JD Gaming’s most reliable late-game damage source.

Leaguepedia recorded more than 100 games for GALA during the 2026 season, demonstrating both his importance and the amount of competitive experience accumulated by the current roster.

JDG’s preferred winning pattern is likely to include:

• protecting GALA through the early lane;
• controlling the first two dragons;
• moving GALA into the middle lane after the first tower;
• forcing AL to approach objectives through limited vision;
• using Xiaoxu and Vampire to protect the back line.

Hope can match GALA in a late-game team fight, making positioning more important than raw farming statistics.

Anyone’s Legend Team Preview

Anyone’s Legend have retained the same five-player lineup that established the team as an LPL and international contender.

The roster consists of:

• Flandre;
• Tarzan;
• Shanks;
• Hope;
• Kael.

Their contracts were extended after the 2025 season, preserving one of the most experienced cores in China.

AL reached the later stages of the Split 2 playoffs after recording 3-0 victories over EDward Gaming and LGD Gaming. Their Esports World Cup run ended with a 0-2 defeat against Karmine Corp.

Tarzan and Shanks as AL’s Main Strength

Tarzan and Shanks form one of the most experienced jungle-mid partnerships in the LPL.

Their coordination allows AL to:

• control river entrances;
• create early pressure without excessive risk;
• prepare neutral objectives;
• support Flandre’s side-lane position;
• protect Hope’s scaling.

Tarzan was the Player of the Game in the opening map of AL’s 3-0 playoff victory over LGD.

Against JDG, Tarzan must prevent JunJia from repeatedly controlling the bottom-side river.

Hope and Kael

Hope and Kael provide AL with a reliable bottom lane.

They may not always create large advantages during the opening minutes, but they are difficult to isolate and remain effective during longer team fights.

Kael’s vision work will be especially important. JDG want to place GALA in protected positions around dragons and Baron, so AL need enough information to identify the direction of JDG’s engage.

Recent Head-to-Head Results

JDG won four of these six series, while AL won the most recent meeting in the Esports World Cup qualifier.

Draft Analysis

JD Gaming should prioritise:

• early agency for JunJia;
• a stable matchup for HongQ;
• protected scaling for GALA;
• reliable engage from Vampire;
• enough side-lane control to manage Flandre.

Anyone’s Legend should focus on:

• a strong jungle-mid combination;
• flexible top-lane options for Flandre;
• sufficient protection for Hope;
• vision denial around JDG’s bottom side;
• compositions that remain effective in long team fights.

Fearless-style series drafting increases the value of champion depth. AL’s experienced roster may gain an advantage if the match reaches Game 3.

Key Matchups

Xiaoxu vs Flandre

Flandre has the experience advantage, while Xiaoxu may receive more direct jungle support.

JunJia vs Tarzan

This is the most important matchup.

JunJia has performed well in recent JDG victories, while Tarzan remains the more established macro leader.

HongQ vs Shanks

Shanks is the stronger proven carry.

HongQ needs to maintain lane stability and avoid giving AL unrestricted river access.

GALA vs Hope

Both players are capable of deciding late-game fights.

GALA may receive more resources, while Hope benefits from AL’s coordinated front line.

How JD Gaming Can Win

JDG need to:

1. Track Tarzan’s early movement.
2. Keep HongQ stable against Shanks.
3. Give GALA a safe scaling path.
4. Control bottom-side objectives.
5. Avoid overcommitting into Flandre’s flanks.
6. Convert small advantages into towers.
7. Force Hope to fight without complete vision.

How Anyone’s Legend Can Win

AL should:

1. Establish jungle-mid priority.
2. Disrupt GALA’s farming position.
3. Use Flandre to control a side lane.
4. Prevent JDG from stacking early dragons.
5. Extend the series into deeper drafts.
6. Create organised front-to-back team fights.
7. Punish JDG’s less experienced solo lanes.

JD Gaming vs Anyone’s Legend Prediction

This matchup is close enough to reach three games.

Anyone’s Legend have the stronger roster continuity and won the most recent direct encounter. However, JD Gaming have won most of the teams’ 2026 series and repeatedly found success through JunJia and GALA.

JDG are selected to survive a competitive Game 2 and win the deciding map through stronger bottom-side execution.

Predicted winner: JD Gaming

Predicted score: JD Gaming 2-1 Anyone’s Legend

Estimated probabilities:

• JD Gaming: 54%
• Anyone’s Legend: 46%

The main alternative is an AL 2-1 victory if Tarzan and Shanks control the early river.
