Breathe joins Anyone’s Legend before the third LPL split
Anyone’s Legend have signed top laner Breathe for the rest of the 2026 season. The Chinese veteran arrives after leaving Invictus Gaming. He joins an established roster before the third LPL split.
The transfer is the organisation’s first player change since the end of 2024. Current top laner Flandre has not been announced as leaving or moving to the bench. Anyone’s Legend now have two experienced options for the position.
A stable roster adds a second top laner
Anyone’s Legend kept the same five-player core throughout 2025 and the first part of this year. That stability carried the team to the World Championship quarterfinals last season. The club has now chosen its first addition in more than a year.
Breathe became available after his Invictus Gaming spell ended following Split 2. He did not arrive through a mid-season trade between the two organisations. Anyone’s Legend signed him as a free agent.
Flandre remains part of the announced roster. No official statement has assigned either player a permanent starting place. The coaching staff can register its match lineup under the league’s normal rules.
The signing therefore expands one role instead of confirming a direct replacement. Breathe can enter practice immediately. Flandre also continues with the teammates who played the earlier splits.
Breathe brings six years of LPL experience
Breathe has played in China’s leading league for more than six years. Anyone’s Legend become the seventh LPL organisation represented during his senior career. That record includes long spells with several playoff teams.
He spent more than a year with Weibo Gaming before moving to Invictus Gaming. He has also appeared at two World Championships. Those events give him experience against teams from outside China.
His first Worlds run with Royal Never Give Up ended in the quarterfinals. Two years later, Weibo Gaming reached the semifinals with Breathe in top lane. Those campaigns came with different teammates.
His latest split with Invictus did not produce the results expected from the lineup. The team ended the campaign without a deep run. Breathe now receives another chance during the final part of the domestic season.
| New player | Breathe |
|---|---|
| Role | Top lane |
| Previous team | Invictus Gaming |
| Current AL top laner | Flandre remains on the roster |
The transfer does not erase his earlier performances or guarantee an immediate return to form. It simply places an available veteran inside a team preparing for Split 3. His first competitive appearance depends on lineup selection.
Anyone’s Legend seek a better domestic finish
The team made a major rise during the previous season. Its World Championship run ended in the quarterfinals after a strong domestic year. The current campaign has not produced the same international access.
Anyone’s Legend missed qualification for both international tournaments held earlier this year. The team still reached the Esports World Cup quarterfinals. Karmine Corp ended that run in a two-game series.
The rest of the lineup remains familiar. That limits the number of new working relationships introduced at once. Only the top-lane rotation changes before the next scheduled matches.
Two top laners bring different recent records
Breathe most recently played for Invictus Gaming. His earlier LPL teams include Royal Never Give Up and Weibo Gaming. Those spells gave him domestic playoff and international tournament experience.
Flandre remains on the Anyone’s Legend roster. He previously represented Snake, LNG and EDward Gaming. His career includes the 2021 World Championship title with EDward Gaming.
Anyone’s Legend announced Breathe as an addition to the existing group. The same announcement did not remove Flandre. The club therefore carries two experienced players for one role.
The rest of the active lineup keeps its established core. Tarzan plays jungle, Shanks holds mid lane, Hope plays bot lane and Kael fills support.
The move arrives before the third split
Anyone’s Legend completed the signing before the third LPL split. Breathe can join the full preparation block instead of arriving during the schedule.
The roster now combines Breathe’s recent Invictus matches with Flandre’s season inside the current team. Both players bring a long sample from the same league.
Breathe is twenty-five and has played in the LPL since 2018. He has represented several organisations while remaining in the top lane throughout his senior career.
Anyone’s Legend gain another experienced option without changing the other four roles. The completed transfer ends Breathe’s period with Invictus Gaming.
Split 3 becomes his first competition under the Anyone’s Legend name. The move also places him beside four players who already worked together during the earlier splits.
