Invictus Gaming Moves Up in LPL Standings with Win Over JD Gaming
Invictus Gaming has climbed higher in the LPL 2022 Spring Split Standings after defeating JD Gaming in a three-game series.
Both teams were in the middle of the standings before this match, but JD had a slight advantage in the playoff picture due to Invictus’ slow start in 2022.
Game 1: Kanavi Dominates as JD Takes Early Lead
In the first game, JD jungler Kanavi played a major role on Viego, setting the tone for JD’s early game. They maintained control of the objectives, particularly the dragons, which gave them an advantage in the mid-game. Invictus struggled to contest these objectives.
Game 2: Invictus Establishes Mid-Game Lead
The second game started off slowly, with both teams trading kills. However, beyond the 10-minute mark, Invictus started to gain the upper hand due to their mid-jungle duo of Hecarim and Twisted Fate. This allowed them to have more mobility on the map compared to JD, and they consistently won team fights throughout the mid-game.
Game 3: Invictus Upsets JD with Zeri Pick
In the final game, JD made a crucial mistake in the draft by leaving Invictus with the dominant Zeri pick. This pick proved decisive in the mid-to-late game, allowing Invictus to secure the upset victory over JD in a competitive three-game series.
Invictus Gaming will strive to improve their regular-season record to 6-6 as they face LGD Gaming and Anyone’s Legend in week seven.
For JD, this loss marks their second consecutive series defeat, bringing them to a 4-4 record in the LPL 2022 Spring Split. They will go up against Anyone’s Legend and Bilibili Gaming in week six.
