Invictus Gaming vs LYON kalshi

Invictus Gaming logoLYONInvictus Gaming began this year's Worlds with a tough defeat to Gen.G, before recovering well with victories over Team Secret Whales and an upset over Hanwha Life Esports. Their win against Hanwha was extremely impressive, and silenced a lot of the doubters about their ability to compete with elite opponents.

LYON also shared a similar path, as they defeated Team Secret Whales and Karmine Corp before losing to Gen.G in Round 3. They also took the game to Gen.G, coming up short to the dominant Korean side in a narrow 2-1 loss.

Both teams have demonstrated their potential to be championship level teams, so this game will surely be a close one.
