AL vs CFO match overview

Tournament: MSI 2025
Stage: Bracket stage
Game: League of Legends
Format: Best-of-five

Betting pick: Despite CFO’s impressive play, AL may be the team to side with thanks to its greater consistency.

AL vs CFO match analysis

Despite Anyone’s Legend lacking the achievements that some top teams have, it has showcased great gameplay and mechanical skills worthy of standing alongside the very best. Many of the team’s wins are thanks to its mid and jungle synergy continuing to shine in every match, and it helps that Shanks is a strong mid laner that brings a wealth of experience, allowing him to compete against players like Gen.G’s star mid laner Chovy.

Hope, Flandre, and Kael left much to be desired in the match against Gen.G. While the three players played well and showcased their mastery of global abilities to the world, they didn’t perform at the superior level they often do, though that was perhaps primarily because of Gen.G shutting them down. Fortunately for AL, that’s less likely to happen against CFO.

CFO player HongQ

CTBC Flying Oyster impressed many by its performance against T1 in this tournament, and with good reason. HongQ in particular has a great understanding of the game, despite his relative inexperience and young age. Doggo also holds high carry potential, with calculated plays that ensure he knows when to retreat and when to attack. This increases his chances of snowballing into the carry the team requires.

However, the team’s main weakness is its relative lack of international experience, and it has showed at times against the stiffest opposition. In particular, the team’s top laners don’t always perform as well as their teammates.

While AL’s Flandre is arguably that team’s weak link, he stands a better chance against CFO’s top side.

Roster and roles

Anyone’s Legend	CTBC Flying Oyster
Flandre – Top	Rest – Top
Tarzan – Jungler	JunJia – Jungle
Shanks – Mid	HongQ – Mid
Hope – ADC	Doggo – ADC
Kael – Support	Kaiwing – Support

Champion pool

Anyone’s Legend has continued to pull from its large pool of champions, though the team will want to go with picks that have worked so far. Bettors can expect Ksante, Naafiri, Sylas, Caitlyn, Karma, Rumble, Pantheon, Annie, Kaisa, and Rell.
CTBC Flying Oyster showcased a good understanding of Ksante, Vi, Aurora, Lucian, Nami, Trundle, Swain, Caitlyn, and Braum. It wouldn’t be surprising if the team prioritizes these picks against AL.

AL vs CFO betting picks and predictions

The match between AL and CFO is likely to be tougher for the LPL side than most expected before this tournament. But AL’s greater experience and overall skills may allow it to utilize better macro in slowly but surely getting stronger than CFO over the course of the series’ games. Add the fact that AL has a recent history of better champion drafts, and CFO may be on the outs here.

Best picks

AL gets first blood @ 1.77: CFO will want to play the first couple of minutes safely after its early struggles against T1, potentially letting AL take the bolder attempts at first blood.
Total maps over 4.5 @ 2.85: Both teams look close in terms of skills based on recent matches, and this match has a decent chance of going to a fifth game.
