Invictus Gaming vs Team WE Prediction: Expect a close game

On Friday, November 18, the playoff stage of the traditional Chinese LoL preseason tournament NEST 2022 will begin, with a prize pool of $92,000. Invictus Gaming and Team WE will face each other in the second quarterfinal matchup. The game is scheduled to start at 11:00.

Surprisingly, no one believed in the Invictus Gaming team until the start of this tournament. And there are many reasons for that, the main one being the disgusting entire previous 2022 season. Naturally, IG players are playing the main roster at NEST 2022, roster replacements are not ruled out, but so far in the preseason championship Invictus Gaming has no problems.

In the group stage, the Invictus Gaming team defeated their opponents from JD Gaming (2-0), but the LPL 2022 Summer Split champions were represented by the youth squad, and the second victory was over Anyone's Legend (2-0). In a game that meant nothing to them anymore against Bilibili Gaming (0:2), the IG players lost, but did not give the first place of Group A to anyone. In the game against Team WE Invictus Gaming is clearly the outsider, but we do not predict an easy game for the favorites.

Even though Team WE completely failed both LPL splits in 2022, these players still rank high in NEST 2022. Last year, Team WE made it to the grand finals but lost, and this year, so far, they haven't shown consistent play. It has to do with watching young players, Team WE is finding the optimal connections, so we expect a tough match for them against Invictus Gaming in this quarterfinals.

In the group stage, Team WE only defeated their opponents from Oh My God (2-0). Then the team stalled, playing draws with Ultra Prime (1-1) and LNG Esports (1-1), which we will no longer see in the tournament.

Invictus Gaming will put up a fight against Team WE, so we expect a tight confrontation.
