Get expert betting tips and odds for Top Esports vs Invictus Gaming in the 2026 LoL Worlds quarterfinals on November 3.
The 2026 League of Legends World Championship playoffs kick off on Tuesday, November 3, with a clash between two LoL Pro League (LPL) rivals, Top Esports and Invictus Gaming.
TOP ESPORTS vs INVICTUS GAMING
Invictus Gaming have clashed with Top Esports seven times this year, and won five games, including in their most recent meeting in the LPL Regional Finals, with a 3-1 win. However, just a week prior, Top Esports bested IG in the LPL Split 3 Playoffs 3-2.
The more recent meetings do not indicate which of the two squads is more likely to win on Tuesday. However, their performances during the LoL Worlds Swiss Stage do.
Top Esports qualified for the playoffs with a 3-1 record. They lost their first game to Hanwha Life Esports, but won the next three against Anyone’s Legend, G2 Esports, and Bilibili Gaming.
Beating BLG is an accomplishment, but Bilibili Gaming made it easy for Top Esports to come out ahead by slipping on map two. Moreover, Bilibili Gaming haven’t been great this tournament, so beating them is nothing to write home about.
Despite going 3-1 in the Swiss Stage, Top Esports are a bit of a suspect. They’ve been extremely volatile this year, and reaching the playoffs doesn’t make them any more convincing.
Invictus Gaming made it to the knockout stage with the same record, having lost a close game to Gen.G and beaten Team Secret, Whales, Hanwha Life Esports, and LYON.
Admittedly, IG have had an easier schedule, but they also played better. In their last match of the Swiss Stage, Invictus Gaming showcased that they can play a slow, methodical style and that they know how to draft.
Everything Invictus Gaming has shown so far inspires confidence, even though they are not immune to shooting themselves in the foot – as shown throughout the 2026 season.
The top-rated bookmakers have Invictus Gaming listed as $1.61 favorites, which is a fair offer. They’ve been more consistent, have shown higher highs, and have beaten Top Esports four times this season.
