Match info

We’re sticking to analyzing the LEC Spring 2025 (League of Legends EMEA Championship Spring 2025) – Regular Season games. The fourth week of matches, out of seven weeks, is just about to begin.

GIANTX and Karmine Corp are two of the playoff contenders. But as of right now, the two sides are in very different situations: the former is still a long way from the main stage, while the latter can already prepare for it. Let’s find out which of the two is stronger, as their match is to start on Saturday, April 19, 2025, at Riot Games Arena in Berlin, Germany, at 7 p.m. local time.

Meeting statistics

The current form of GIANTX

The organization’s first match after acquiring the Excel Esports berth was the LEC Winter 2024. Actually, the Spanish club Giants and the aforementioned British club merged to form GIANTX. The team waited until the very last minute to reveal their roster for the 2025 campaign.

With a 5-4 record at the end of the LEC Winter 2025 – Regular Season, GIANTX finished in sixth place, which is quite respectable given their overall performance this year. They played a match against G2 Esports to begin the LEC Winter 2025 – Playoffs, but they were unsuccessful and lost 0-2. As a result, they were placed in the Lower Bracket. They defeated Heretics there, but they fell to KOI in the following round and finished the championship in fifth to sixth place.

GIANTX finished 0-4 on the map and 0-2 in the series following the first week of LEC Spring 2025. Vitality and Fnatic defeated them. A victory over Rogue made things a little better, but they fell to ninth place after losing to SK Gaming at the end of Week 3.

The current form of Karmine Corp

The French side did well in the Regular Season of the LEC Winter 2025. Kim “Canna” Chang-dong and company shared the second place at the table with G2 and KOI. In the Playoffs, Karmine Corp reached the Upper Bracket Final, but lost against G2. Then, they barely defeated Fnatic 3-2 in the Lower Bracket Final, but in the Grand Final, something extraordinary happened in the heads of KCorp’s players: they literally destroyed G2, defeating the best team in Europe 3-0.

At the 2025 First Stand Tournament, the Frenchmen didn’t play their best game in the Round Robin Stage (1-3), but thanks to the map differential, they qualified for the Knockout Stage. Coming to the Grand Final, they lost to HLE with a 1-3 score.

With a score of 4-1 at the conclusion of the three weeks of the LEC Spring 2025, Karmine Corp leads the Regular Season standings. Hence, they are the favorites here, and Tether eSports betting sites put very short odds on their win against GIANTX.

Head-to-head

The teams have faced off four times in the past year. Although the series is 2-2, you must realize that Karmine Corp weren’t the same in the 2024 season as they are today.

Match analytics

We don’t anticipate this clash to be an even game. We’d wager on Karmine Corp to win because they are obviously superior to GIANTX in every way, which will be, we think, visible in the number of kills.

Tip: First map – 10 kill maker: Karmine Corp, with odds of 1.55 on Yonibet.
