Tarzan after crushing BLG: "We were just more concentrated"
Anyone’s Legend’s confident 3:0 victory over Bilibili Gaming became one of the most surprising outcomes of the Mid-Season Invitational 2025 lower bracket semifinals. Jungler Lee " Tarzan " Seung-yong expressed satisfaction with the result, highlighting the team’s focus and growing confidence in their run toward an international trophy.
This interview is important not just because of the statement win, but also for the insight it gives into the mindset of one of Anyone's Legend ’s leaders ahead of the final stage. Tarzan has long been considered a consistent and high-level player, but a major international title has always eluded him. Now, he's one series away from the MSI final.
This year marks Anyone’s Legend’s first international appearance as a team. Despite their underdog status, the Chinese squad already have tought series with Generation Gaming and now dispatched Bilibili Gaming — former LPL champions. Up next is their biggest challenge yet: a showdown with T1 , who conquered the 2024 World Championship by taking down every LPL team in their path.
Focus, confidence, and a statement win
After the match, Tarzan emphasized that Anyone's Legend approached BLG seriously but simply executed better on the day:
We treated this game as a tough one as well, but I think we were just more concentrated than our opponents — so that's the key.
He also shared his thoughts on how close the team feels to the trophy, despite this being their first international campaign:
For this Anyone's Legend coming into MSI, this is our first international journey as a team, but I feel like we’ve just been getting closer and closer to that final trophy.
Looking ahead to the T1 challenge
The final boss in Anyone's Legend ’s path is none other than T1 . Tarzan acknowledged their strength but believes his squad is ready:
I must say T1 is a super strong team, but at the same time, Anyone's Legend — we’ve got enough confidence.
He also commented on his personal history with T1 ’s top laner Doran and expressed hopes for a thrilling best-of-five:
Hopefully the two of us, and also the two teams, can really show you guys a very exciting Bo5 tomorrow together.
Family support on the big stage
An emotional moment came when Tarzan mentioned his family in the crowd — a rare opportunity to play in front of them at such a high-stakes event:
From a really far distance, coming here to support me — I really appreciate that. And hopefully, with all the support I’ve received, I can just do better tomorrow.
Anyone’s Legend have already surpassed expectations at MSI 2025, but the ultimate prize is still within reach. The lower bracket final against T1 will be a defining moment — not just for Tarzan ’s legacy, but for Anyone's Legend ’s place in international League of Legends history.
