Invictus Gaming won their best-of-five Worlds quarterfinal against TOP ESPORTS 3-1 on November 3, 2026. They dropped only one game, and three of their four games ended in under 33 minutes.

IG set the tone in Game 1 on blue side, winning a 32:43 game with a 27-12 kill score, a 9-2 tower count and a gold lead of more than 15,000. TOP ESPORTS answered in the longest game of the series. Game 2 ran 47:05, and TES won it through objectives. They took all three Barons and an 11-4 tower edge, even though IG claimed four dragons to their three. JackeyLove led that win with a 10/6/5 line on Kalista, and Creme was involved in 85 percent of his team's kills on Orianna.

The momentum swung back quickly. IG closed Game 3 in 29:25 from red side, 16-9 on kills with a gold lead of about 9,000. Game 4 was the most one-sided on structures. IG took eight towers while TES took none, along with four dragons and the only Baron, to seal the series in 30:54.

JiaQi was the standout of the series. The IG ADC finished 27/9/27 across four games and dealt over 139,000 damage to champions. That total included a 10/1/10 Kai'Sa opener and 62,698 damage on Yunara in the Game 2 loss. Jungler Wei was close behind with a 17/10/36 line. His Jayce did 32,607 damage in Game 3, and his Qiyana did 28,144 in Game 1.

Rookie gave IG steady output from mid, going 20/8/33 and dying no more than three times in any game. For TOP ESPORTS, Creme opened with a 7/2/1 Cassiopeia, and JackeyLove posted strong damage totals throughout. Even so, IG's objective control across Games 1, 3 and 4 made the difference.
