FunPlus Phoenix Defeats Invictus Gaming in League of Legends World Championship Semifinals
In a stunning upset, FunPlus Phoenix (FPX) emerged victorious against defending champions Invictus Gaming (IG) in the League of Legends World Championship semifinals, securing a spot in the final leg of the tournament. FPX’s victory came after a thrilling series of matches that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
During the semifinals, IG put up a valiant fight and seemed to have the advantage with their strong late-game composition. However, a critical mistake proved to be their downfall. TheShy and JackeyLove ventured into FPX’s jungle without the support of their teammates, leading to their demise and giving FPX the upper hand. Despite IG’s efforts to push into FPX’s middle inhibitor, they were unable to recover and were ultimately defeated.
Fans and casters were left speechless by IG’s questionable decision-making, and FPX took full advantage of their opponents’ mistakes. The series was intense, with game two setting a new record for the second-highest number of deaths in a single game at Worlds. FPX’s victory not only eliminates the reigning champions but also marks a significant achievement for the organization, which joined the LPL in 2018 and quickly climbed to the top in 2019.
Now, FPX awaits the winner of the upcoming semifinal series between G2 Esports and SK Telecom T1 to determine their opponent in the World finals on Sunday, November 10th at 6am CT. The excitement continues as the remaining teams battle it out for the ultimate title in esports.
