various esports games

Since day one, Invictus Gaming has pulled in roughly KSh 2,150,000,000 (2.15 Billion) from more than 560 tournaments. Dota 2 is the cash cow—around KSh 1,171,060,201 of that haul—while League of Legends adds KSh 572,168,183. StarCraft 2, though not as lucrative (only about 4% of total prize money), still cements IG’s rep in the RTS scene.

When you break it down by player nationality, Chinese talent delivers 71.4% of revenue, with Malaysia at 12.5% and South Korea at 11.4%.

Behind the scenes, head coach Ding Yu-Bo leads the squad, backed by assistant coach Siu Keung. General manager Zhu Song-Ge steers the ship, with Chen Zi as his deputy. Data analyst Gao Ya-Qi crunches the numbers while translator Jin Ming-Kui ensures smooth comms.

The team

Dota and Dota 2

Invictus Gaming first made waves at the World Dota Championship - 2011, claiming third. The following year they snagged the SMM Grand National Dota crown and then transitioned to Dota 2. Their biggest flex came at The International - 2012 when they pocketed the US$1 million grand prize. Since then, they’ve stayed solid, even as rosters shuffled—much like how Liverpool stays title-chasing in the Premier League.

Dota 2

League of Legends

Originally known as Catastrophic Cruel Memory, IG had already won the WCG China Regional Finals in 2011 before rebranding. In the LPL Spring 2020, they went 14–2—a record that’d make any EPL side jealous. If you’re hunting league of legends predictions, betting on IG feels as reliable as backing Man City to win at home.

League of Legend tournaments

StarCraft 2

IG’s SC2 squad consistently hits the boards at big events. Prize pools here are leaner compared to Dota 2 or LoL, but the skill level is off the charts.

StarCraft

They also field squads in CrossFire, Hearthstone, Rainbow Six Siege, CS:GO, Overwatch, and more—perfect if you’re into esports gaming or looking for diversified esports bet options.
