Anyone's Legend fought past CTBC Flying Oyster 3-1 to advance in the lower bracket of the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational on Monday in Vancouver.
While CTBC Flying Oyster was eliminated from the tournament, Anyone's Legend reached Round 3 of the lower bracket, where they will face either Bilibili Gaming or FlyQuest on Thursday. Bilibili and FlyQuest will meet in another lower-bracket contest Tuesday.
The $2 million event began with two teams from each League of Legends region: China, Korea, Pacific, the Americas and Europe-Middle East-Africa.
All matches in the play-in and the double-elimination bracket stage are best-of-five. The winner of the grand final will earn $500,000 and a spot in the $5 million League of Legends World Championship, to be played this fall in China.
On Monday, Anyone's Legend raced out to a good start by winning in 36 minutes and 41 minutes, both times on red.
CTBC Flying Oyster stayed alive with a 33-minute win on red, but Anyone's Legend responded with a 30-minute victory on blue to clinch it.
Wang 'Hope' Jie of China starred for Anyone's Legend, averaging a kills-deaths-assists ratio of 5.5-1.8-5.8 over the four maps.
