Team Liquid Alienware beat Anyone's Legend 2-0 in the Worlds 2026 Swiss stage, eliminating the LPL's top seed from the tournament.
Anyone's Legend did not take a single game in the series, which made the exit even more decisive.
The win keeps the LCS champions alive at the event. Team Liquid Alienware now faces a deciding series against LOS on 30 October.
The result also ends a run of 13 series in which North American teams had failed to beat LPL opposition.
