The two LoL Pro League (LPL) teams know each other well, having faced each other multiple times throughout the season, most recently in September, in the final stretch of the Chinese league.
They’ve split the last two meetings 1-1, albeit over the course of the summer split and LoL Worlds; Invictus Gaming have shown more promise and rightly enter Tuesday’s game as the team to beat.
Top Esports have shown some high moments, but they are known as a hot-and-cold team, who can easily turn into a pumpkin. Knowing that, Invictus Gaming should be considered the more reliable pick to qualify for the semifinals.
- Top Esports are volatile
- Invictus Gaming have been showing promise

Invictus Gaming Are Showing Up
Invictus Gaming entered LoL Worlds as the lowest-seeded team from the League of Legends Pro League (LPL). However, they’ve proven themselves as the best Chinese team of the tournament so far.
Invictus Gaming qualified for the playoffs with a 3-1 record, having lost their opening match against Gen.G, and won the next three against Team Secret, Whales, Hanwha Life Esports, and LYON. Even their defeat to Gen.G was not a bad performance, as IG had their chances to come out ahead.
Overall, Invictus Gaming have been playing well above expectations, and have been one of the more stable teams of the tournament.
While known to be somewhat unpredictable, that characteristic hasn’t been noticeable during the Swiss Stage. Instead, Invictus Gaming have been producing good, consistent performances, with solid macro, great drafts, and moments of individual brilliance.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| October 28 | LoL Worlds 2026 | LYON | 2-1 (W) |
| October 25 | LoL Worlds 2026 | Hanwha Life Esports | 1-0 (W) |

Top Esports Have More to Prove
Top Esports qualified for the playoffs with just one defeat in the Swiss Stage. They lost their opening match against Hanwha Life Esports before beating G2 Esports and two LPL rivals, Anyone’s Legend and Bilibili Gaming.
Beating AL and BLG does not look like a small feat. However, considering the poor form the two teams have been in, Top Esports do not deserve much praise. Notably, both AL and BLG bungled their chances against Top Esports, so it was more them shooting themselves in the foot rather than Top Esports playing well.
On paper, Top Esports faced a tough schedule to reach the final eight. However, across the three games, they’ve not had to show much.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| October 28 | LoL Worlds 2026 | Bilibili Gaming | 2-1 (W) |
| October 25 | LoL Worlds 2026 | G2 Esports | 1-0 (W) |
| October 24 | LoL Worlds 2026 | Anyone's Legend | 1-0 (W) |
| October 23 | LoL Worlds 2026 | Hanwha Life Esports | 0-1 (L) |
| September 17 | LPL 2026 Regional Finals | Invictus Gaming | 3-1 (W) |

Verdict
Both teams have managed a 3-1 record in the group stage; however, Invictus Gaming impressed more. They’ve played cleaner League of Legends and looked more stable than Top Esports, who have had their blunders.
Even though Top Esports are capable of high moments, they have been largely underwhelming and inconsistent in the summer split. Their performances in the Swiss Stage do not change that.
Between the two, IG are a more stable and reliable team, making them the more likely victors on Tuesday.
