Karmine Corp crushed MVK Esports in their last meeting, in the second round of action, and the European squad are expected to be just as successful on Sunday. MVK Esports have exceeded expectations so far by reaching the final two of the stage, but they’ve only beaten FURIA (twice).
Even though beating FURIA is no small feat, Karmine Corp are an entirely different beast and given their dominant display last time out, it is fair to expect another one-sided affair on Sunday.
- Karmine Corp are rightly viewed as favourites
- MVK Esports are showing signs of life
- Another win for KC is likely

Karmine Corp Look Potent
Karmine Corp have lived up to expectations so far in the LoL Worlds Championship Play-In stage, beating both Cloud9 and MVK Esports. They had to dig deep to make it past Cloud9 in the first round (3-2), but cruised past MVK Esports in Round 2, winning the latter game 3-0.
It was a solid showing from KC. They had a methodical approach to the map, and while MVK managed to keep the gold close in the early game on maps two and three, KC ran away with it.
The main thing to take away from that game was that Karmine Corp were simply the better team who outclassed MVK Esports in all departments.

MVK Esports Have More to Prove
MVK Esports have exceeded expectations by reaching the final two in the LoL Worlds Play-in stage, beating FURIA twice. The first victory in the opening round looked like a complete fluke, mainly because FURIA performed poorly on the day.
The second MVK Esports victory was, like the first one, a complete stomp and once more, FURIA collapsed. It is hard to say what it is about this MVK roster that makes FURIA turn into a pumpkin, but the Brazilians did not look even remotely as good as they did in their previous victory against Cloud9.
One thing to note is that MVK Esports haven’t been playing particularly well. Instead, it was FURIA who performed very poorly. MVK Esports deserve some praise as they are an aggressive team, and FURIA seem to not have an answer to that. Karmine Corp should.

Verdict
Karmine Corp won the last meeting 3-0, which included two stomps and one map (second), which was somewhat close. So even though MVK Esports have since beaten FURIA (again), it is hard to imagine an upset on Sunday
MVK Esports’ recent win over FURIA looked more like FURIA collapsing rather than MVK playing well, but they did not perform poorly either. They are super aggressive, which can catch some teams off guard, but less likely to happen to KC, who are a more disciplined side.
Karmine Corp should win, but from a betting perspective, taking some MVK Esports to take one map makes sense. Their aggressive style can secure them an early lead, and with the right approach, MVK can snowball to victory at least once.
