The match between Invictus Gaming and FunPlus Phoenix will take place on February 15, 2025, at 11:00 EET as part of the group stage of LPL Split 1 2025. The match will be in a bo5 format, and we are ready to share a prediction on the outcome of this clash.

Current Team Form

Invictus Gaming

IG started the season quite confidently, although their recent match results show some fluctuations. They performed well in the Demacia Cup 2024, securing wins against Ninjas in Pyjamas and Royal Never Give Up, but fell to Top Esports in the playoffs. In LPL Split 1 2025, they also faced challenges—a loss to NIP 1:3 and a convincing victory over RNG 3:1. The strengths of IG lie in the stable play of their top laner TheShy and the experienced mid laner Rookie, but the team's inconsistency can be a weak point.

FunPlus Phoenix

FPX are not in the best form. After failing matches in the Demacia Cup 2024, where they didn’t win a single map against EDward Gaming, Bilibili Gaming Junior, and LGD Gaming, the team continued their streak of misfortune in LPL Split 1 2025. Losses to RNG 1:3 and a crushing defeat to NIP 0:3 indicate that the team is experiencing difficulties. FunPlus Phoenix are currently searching for their game, and if they don’t find a way to improve, they will face serious challenges against IG.

Match Prediction

In this clash, Invictus Gaming appears to be clear favorites. FunPlus Phoenix is in the process of finding their game, and judging by their recent results, it will be difficult for them to counter IG's organized play. If IG continues to play at their level, as they did against RNG, they should confidently win the series.

PREDICTION: Invictus Gaming wins with a score of 3:0
