Invictus Gaming are no pushovers, but they’ve been mostly mediocre this tournament and have yet to show anything exceptional. And until they do, IG should be viewed as a tier below LoL Champions Korea (LCK)’s second-best team.

Hanwha Life Esports Are Still an Elite Team
Hanwha Life Esports had a promising start to the LoL World Championship, beating Top Esports in a dominant fashion. However, they failed to extend their record to 2-0, as HLE had to admit defeat to their arch-rivals, Gen.G, in the second round of play.
It was an unfortunate draw for Hanwha Life Esports, who got paired with Gen.G once more, after losing to their rivals in the LCK grand finals. Nevertheless, it was a dominant showing from Gen.G, who showed the world once more that they have the tools to handle HLE.
Gen.G got a lead early, and Hanwha Life Esports did not do much to try and catch up. Not a bad showing, but it is worth noting that HLE did get punished for some early game gambles.

Invictus Gaming Don’t Look Amazing
Invictus Gaming bested Team Secret Whales in the second round of LoL Worlds, in what was a fairly scrappy game. TSW had a strong start on the top side, while Invictus Gaming found early advantages in the bottom lane, which ultimately drove IG’s victory.
Invictus Gaming did not look great on the day, but they did manage to hang around after a slower start until they got gold on the main carries and used that to stroll to a victory.
This is still an elite team, but they are also nothing special. Good but not great, and until proven otherwise, that’s the tag IG will carry around.

Verdict
Hanwha Life Esports did not perform exceptionally well against Gen.G, having been slightly too passive in certain situations. Invictus Gaming have also failed to amaze, but still got the job done against Team Secret Whales.
This is a clash between two tier-one teams, yet there is still a gap between the LCK and LPL, and it should be on full display on Sunday.
IG are no pushovers, and there is a world where they stun Hanwha Life Esports, but Invictus Gaming haven’t shown enough to believe they can consistently threaten elite teams like HLE.
