Invictus Gaming will not participate in the upcoming NEST(National Electronic Sports Tournament), which is the only tournament before All-stars hosted by the State General Administration of Sport.







With the NEST 2018 tournament coming up, it was reported that Invictus Gaming will not be participating as initially announced. We’ve speculated that it was because they had recently won Worlds that they wanted to have some time off. In the midnight of November 7(GMT+8), Invictus Gaming’s VP made an official statement on Weibo that Wang sicong (WXZ) has agreed to give staff members some extra time off.

According to the statement, players had hoped to have some more days off to take a longer vacation at the celebratory dinner after the Grand Finals. It was approved by WXZ on the spot and confirmed once more several days later. Although many fans are aware of this situation, IG wanted to make a public statement about it.
