Invictus Gaming and Team Magma last met on Thursday, August 26, when MagMa won (2-0). It marked MagMa’s third head-to-head victory of the year (3-3) and their second since May, when they beat IG 2-1 during the first season of i-League.
Despite their success last time out, MagMa enter this match as heavy underdogs, which likely has to do with Invictus Gaming’s strong showings over the weekend when they swept Elephant (2-0) and forced Team Aster to three maps (1-2). Meanwhile, MagMa completely collapsed against Vici Gaming (0-2) in the first round of upper bracket fixtures.
Regardless of what those results might suggest, MagMa seem a bit underrated. Even though Li “mianmian” Zimeng and co. aren’t known for their consistency; they have improved since their recent roster change and have proven before that they can put up a fight against Invictus Gaming.
Team MagMa +1.5 maps

Royal Never Give Up and Elephant will clash on Friday for the sixth time of 2021 and the first time since Friday, August 20, when RNG won in straight maps. It marked RNG’s third head-to-head victory of the year and their third across the last four meetings.
Su “Flyby” Lei and co. enter this match as underdogs, which doesn’t seem right. Even though you can’t be too excited about RNG’s losses against Vici (0-2, 1-2) and their narrow (2-1) victory against Aster.Aries last Friday, they’re just as strong as Elephant.
This match should be priced much closer to even money, so we will gladly side with Royal Never Give Up at the outsider odds.
