On April 18, 2025, at 14:00 CET, Invictus Gaming will face off against JD Gaming as part of the group stage in LPL Split 2 2025. The match will be played in a Bo3 format at the Ascend LAN stage. Below is our prediction for the upcoming series.

Current Form of the Teams

Invictus Gaming

IG completed the Rumble stage with three wins and two losses. The team won against FunPlus Phoenix, Top Esports, and ThunderTalk Gaming, but fell to Bilibili Gaming and Anyone’s Legend—both times with a clean 0:2 score. Despite the losses, the team shows a fighting spirit: TheShy remains a standout star in the top lane, while the duo of GALA and Meiko often gives the team an advantage in the late game. Rookie continues to confidently control the center of the map.

JD Gaming

JD Gaming delivered a series of strong matches during the Rumble stage, defeating Ninjas in Pyjamas, Team WE, and Bilibili Gaming with a 2:0 score. Their only loss was a tense match against FPX, which ended 1:2. Notably, Scout's stable play and Peyz's excellent form as an ADC, who consistently dominates the bottom lane, stand out. Jungler XUN demonstrates flexibility in picks and high activity in the early stages.

Match Prediction

Despite Invictus Gaming's fighting spirit, JD Gaming appears significantly more stable. Their team coordination and map control are currently superior, and the duo of Scout and Peyz can neutralize even experienced opponents like Rookie and GALA. IG has the potential to snatch a map, especially with a favorable draft, but JDG are the favorites for the series.

PREDICTION: JD Gaming to win with a score of 2:1
