There has been a huge question mark above Invictus Gaming and their chances to repeat their title-winning run from 2018 due to their mediocre performance in summer split of LPL. That being said, the Chinese roster entered Worlds with all guns blazing and made sure to let everyone know they are not to be underestimated. <\/p>\n

Invictus Gaming started their 2019 Worlds venture in Group D. There they got paired with DAMWON Gaming, Team Liquid and ahq eSports Club, where they got to show us the first glimpse of their true strength.<\/p>\n

While Invictus failed to impress with their 0-2 record against DAMWON, they still managed to finish above TL, which earned them a spot in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n

After some iffy displays in the group stage, Invictus Gaming redeemed themselves with an impressive 3-1 win against LCK second seed Griffin, which suddenly turned Invictus Gaming from underdogs into one of the two favourites to claim the throne by numerous esports bookmakers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The driving force behind this team’s success was and remains Kang “TheShy” Seung-lok, who seems to get better and better as time passes. While it has become a reoccurring theme, it’s worth noting TheShy will once more play the role of IG’s win condition, as he faces Kim “GimGoon” Han-saem, who with his performances leaves a lot to be desired.<\/p>\n

There were a lot of doubts about FPX’s true strength after their iffy displays in the group stage, where they were paired with Splyce, J Team and GAM Esports. <\/p>\n

Unlike what many expected to see, FPX finished their group stage venture with a 4-2 record, which was enough for them to claim the first seed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
