MVK Esports stunned FURIA in the first round of play, but that proves very little and does not suggest that they stand a chance against Karmine Corp.
Everyone likes an underdog story, but the quality gap between MVK and KC is significant: it is a clash between one of Europe’s strongest teams and the tournament's weakest roster.
Anything less than a 3-0 sweep for Karmine Corp will be a surprise.
- MVK Esports have a huge mountain to climb
- Karmine Corp are a few tiers above MVK Esports
- This is KC’s game to lose

Karmine Corp Look Solid
Karmine Corp handled their business on the opening day of the tournament, beating Cloud9. It was not a dominant performance, but they got there, with 3-2.
It was not a terrible display from Karmine Corp, but more a solid showing from Cloud9. Admittedly, KC have had their iffy moments on the day, but that does not take away from the fact that this is still an elite team, who should be viewed as the strongest roster of the play-in stage.
So far, Karmine Corp have yet to show anything to suggest they can’t make it through to the Swiss Stage.

MVK Esports with More to Prove
MVK Esports kicked off their League of Legends World Championship with a huge upset win against FURIA. This suggests the squad has the talent to challenge any Play-In team, but it's fair to question that assessment.
MVK Esports are arguably the weakest team attending the event, and their upset over FURIA comes with a big asterisk.
FURIA did not look even remotely as good as they should, and completely collapsed. This helped MVK Esports look stronger than they really are – but their real strength will be put to a test on Friday, when the Pacific representatives take on one of Europe’s strongest sides.

| August 22 | LCP 2026 Split 3 | GAM Esports | 3-2 (W) |

Verdict
MVK Esports might’ve upset FURIA, but I’m not sold on this team. They benefited from FURIA’s complete collapse on the day, and there’s nothing more to it.
Karmine Corp will present a much bigger challenge for MVK Esports as an elite roster that will not slip as easily. There is a massive quality gap between the two rosters, which is big enough to believe that Karmine Corp can sweep.
