It marked Invictus Gaming's second victory of LoL Pro League (LPL) 2026 Split 1, and Top Esports' third loss. They've since lost another to Anyone's Legend on Saturday.
Given IG's success last time out, it is reasonable to expect them to win again. But IG, much like Top Esports, have been very volatile and their win on Wednesday was not all that convincing. Another scrappy affair is likely on the cards.

Top Esports Are in a Rough Spot
Top Esports haven't had the best run this season, and that's an understatement. They're 1-4 in five games in, which includes a 1-2 loss to Invictus Gaming and, more recently, a 1-2 loss against Anyone's Legend.
While we are still early into the season, Top Esports have looked bad in most of their games.
Top Esports have had their moments, but tend to be very up-and-down, as reflected in their recent games. That also includes the match against IG, where the first two maps were complete chaos with a lot of fighting.
Admittedly, Top Esports are doing some things right, but they just can't seem to make pieces fall into place. Luckily, this inspires confidence that TES will get better as time goes on.

Invictus Gaming Aiming for the Second H2H Win
Invictus Gaming haven't been playing all that well, granted that applies to most LPL teams.
They are 2-3, which is not a bad spot to be in. Invictus Gaming have so far lost to Weibo Gaming (1-2), Anyone's Legend (0-2), and Bilibili Gaming (0-2), and picked up wins against JD Gaming (2-1) and Top Esports (2-1).
The latter was IG's last game, and it was a bit of a fiesta. At least the first two maps seemed like they could've gone either way, before IG took over the third map, punishing Top Esports' mistakes.
While not perfect, IG played well against JDG, and they showed something on the third map against Top Esports. Not perfect, but reasonably good showings so far. It, however, does not take away from the fact that IG have been very hot and cold.

Verdict
Invictus Gaming defeated Top Esports 2-1 on Wednesday, and enter this match as favourites to do it again. While the H2H record suggests one thing, the game itself was very chaotic and not necessarily a good indication of IG's superiority.
Even though Top Esports are hard to trust, the same can be said for Invictus Gaming. TES also do many things right, and once they figure out how to iron out some wrinkles, they'll be a good team. I like my chances with Top Esports.
