Top players by damage
TL;DR: With the LPL 2026 Split 3 series on the line, Anyone's Legend crushed ThunderTalk Gaming in Game 3 because ALKael's Karma delivered a flawless 1/1/17 supporting masterclass while ALTarzan created a massive jungle advantage, sealing a decisive 28:20 finish.
Key Takeaways
- ALKael posted a remarkable 1/1/17 on Karma, connecting with every one of Anyone's Legend’s 18 kills and making the teamfight plan impossible to break.
- ALTarzan built a +2165 GoldDiff@15 on Qiyana, turning the jungle matchup into the opening that powered Anyone's Legend’s 18-2 kill score.
- Anyone's Legend finished with 61.2k gold to ThunderTalk Gaming’s 44.9k, converting their 16k gold lead into 9 towers, 3 dragons, and 1 baron.
Building the Lead
ThunderTalk Gaming entered the deciding map needing their counter-pick comfort to overturn Anyone's Legend’s wider series strength. Instead, ALTarzan made Qiyana the early-game engine, reaching 7/0/4 as he repeatedly found the angles that denied ThunderTalk Gaming any stable lanes.
That pressure gave ALHope room to turn Caitlyn into a siege weapon. His 3/0/8 line came with a huge +1959 GoldDiff@15, while the bottom lane’s lead prevented TTAhn and Jhin from finding the poke and pick windows needed to slow the game.
Pre-draft analysis had flagged Bard, and the champion did appear, but the prediction did not deliver. TTFeather finished 0/5/1, with the failed roam timing exposing the very weakness Anyone's Legend were prepared to punish.
The Numbers Tell the Story
The final 18-2 kill score reflects more than a few lost skirmishes: Anyone's Legend controlled every route back into the game. ALShanks added 5/1/10 on Annie, converting the jungle pressure into reliable engage and keeping ThunderTalk Gaming’s carries at arm’s length.
In the support role, the 18.00 KDA from ALKael showed why Karma was the anchor. His shields let the composition siege safely, while ALBreathe supplied a 2/0/5 K'Sante frontline that absorbed every desperate response.
The Final Push
Anyone's Legend did not allow their lead to drift into a long, uncertain finish. They claimed 3 dragons and 1 baron, then erased all 9 ThunderTalk Gaming towers without surrendering one themselves.
The live draft model had favored THUNDER TALK GAMING at 51%, but that edge never materialized in-game. Olaf, Trundle, and Ahri could not establish the lane control their draft required, and Anyone's Legend’s execution transformed a narrow theoretical edge into a one-sided League of Legends stomp.
Polymarket Market
Polymarket read this Game 3 correctly, pricing Anyone's Legend at 68% against THUNDER TALK GAMING’s 32% at draft close. The market’s confidence was justified by the final 18-2 kill score and the 61.2k to 44.9k gold result, although it could not fully anticipate how completely AL’s jungle-support core would dismantle TT’s counter-pick plan. The series pre-match market had already leaned heavily toward Anyone's Legend at 84%, and Game 3 ultimately restored that expected hierarchy after ThunderTalk Gaming’s earlier resistance. This result closes the series (1-2), and the full series-market wrap-up belongs in the series recap.
