Invictus Gaming Pulls Off Major Upset in LPL

The League of Legends that has been played during the 2023 LPL Summer Split has been competitive, to say the least. Over the course of the past six weeks, Bilibili Gaming Pingan Bank and Beijing JDG Intel Esports Club have been battling it out for the top spot in the standings after exceptional performances at MSI. Beijing JDG Intel Esports Club struck first in Week 3 when the two faced off, giving them the advantage of tie breakers come the end of the season if both teams found themselves in a tie for first.

That all changed this past week when the lowly-ranked Invictus Gaming took down Beijing JDG Intel Esports Club. The loss took JDG Intel Esports Club out of a tie for first, giving Bilibili Gaming Pingan Bank sole possession of first place in the standings. JDG Intel Esports Club now finds themselves rooting against Bilibili Gaming in hopes of a last-second chance to snag the top seed going into playoffs.
