Invictus Gaming started the year off extremely strong, only dropping two matches in the 2020 LPL Spring Regular Season, placing them first in the league. IG unfortunately choked hard recently against TES where they failed to properly position, leading to them getting picked and out rotated.
On a similar path, Fun Plus Phoenix started out the season strong, placing third in the regular season, earning themselves a placement in the playoffs straight to the quarterfinals. While they were able to take down Edward Gaming 3-1, they had also similarly dropped the ball to JD Gaming, failing to take a single match, ending 0-3.
It is expected Invictus Gaming will be able to regroup and return to their previous form, thus having a strong chance in defeating Fun Plus Phoenix and allowing for a top 3 finish in playoffs
