In League of Legends, just like in other esports titles or traditional sports, players and performances tend to be forgotten over time. What remains, besides the trophies, are the numbers and the records.
Players, teams, and fans — everyone is hungry for statistics, especially when they are the testament of a feat.
With a simple number, Invictus Gaming wrote history as they became the first-ever League of Legends Pro League (LPL) team to reach and exceed the 10,000 kill mark.
It's not entirely surprising to see the Chinese team grabbing that achievement before anyone else, as the organization is present within the League competitive scene since Season 1 and already won Worlds in 2018.
Despite the feat, reaching such a record as a collective composed with some of the best individual talents from the LPL was certainly something we could have expected.
Achievements are great, but they don't ensure victory or performance. Invictus Gaming ended the LPL 2020 Spring Split in fourth, just behind JDH, Top Esports, and the reigning World Champions, FunPlus Phoenix.
Just like the LEC, the LPL can seed four teams within the Worlds event — it remains to be seen if Invictus Gaming will be part of them...
Often considered one of the greatest players to have graced competitive League of Legends, former Royal Never Give Up ADC Jian "Uzi" Zi-Hao has announced his retirement from the professional game.
