Anyone's Legend Are Out of Worlds 2026 at 0-3, a Year After Going 3-0

Team Liquid beat Anyone's Legend 2-0 on 27 October (KST), and China's 2025 quarter-finalists left the Swiss Stage without a win. In 2024 and 2025, all four teams that went 0-3 came from outside the LCK and LPL.

Anyone’s Legend are out of the 2026 World Championship. Team Liquid Alienware beat them 2-0 in a best-of-three between two winless teams at 07:00 Korea time on 27 October, and Anyone’s Legend leave the Swiss Stage at 0-3.

A year ago they went the other way. In 2025 Anyone’s Legend beat Hanwha Life, Gen.G and CTBC Flying Oyster to qualify at 3-0, the second team into the quarter-finals, where they lost. This year they lost to Karmine Corp, Top Esports and now Team Liquid.

The two games, from Riot’s live stats

Game Winner Kills Gold Towers Barons
1 Team Liquid 16–5 69,657–55,504 9–2 2–0
2 Team Liquid 18–18 91,629–82,484 11–3 2–0

Game 2 was level on kills, 18 each. Team Liquid led by about 9,000 gold and took 11 towers to 3 and both barons. Team Liquid, with CoreJJ at support, move to 1-2.

Who has gone 0-3

Year Out at 0-3 League
2024 Movistar KOI, paiN Gaming LEC, CBLOL
2025 Fnatic, PSG Talon LEC, LCP
2026 Team Secret Whales, Anyone’s Legend LCP, LPL

In the two earlier years we can count, no team from Korea’s LCK or China’s LPL went 0-3. Anyone’s Legend are the first in Riot’s records for these three Swiss Stages. Two years is a short record; 2023 is missing from the feed.

How 0-2 teams have done

Eight teams fell to 0-2 in 2024 and 2025. None qualified. Two came closest, winning twice to reach 2-2 before losing: Team Liquid in 2024 and Movistar KOI in 2025.

Team Liquid were one of those eight in 2024, and they are at 1-2 again now. LOS, who knocked out Team Secret Whales earlier the same morning, are also 1-2. That count describes two past fields; it is not odds for either team.

The LPL now has three teams left, all at 2-1 (where every league stands). Every team’s record, and where teams at 2-1, 1-2 and 0-2 ended up in past years, is on our Worlds 2026 page.
