Meeting statistics

The current form of Team Liquid Honda

The LTA champions are playing as outsiders in this match. You can make sure that the odds point out this by picking any new bookie to wager on the duel.

Liquid began the last season on a high note with a resounding victory in the LCS Spring 2024. They defeated FlyQuest by a score of 3-1 in the Grand Final. The Dutch-American organization placed in the top 6 at the MSI 2024, which is a strong showing for an LCS squad. Additionally, Liquid competed at the EWC 2024, placing in the top 4, which is neither good nor terrible. They then lost against FlyQuest in the Grand Final of the LCS Summer 2024, although they were still guaranteed a spot at the Worlds 2024. Liquid performed as anticipated in the League of Legends eSports crowning event last season, finishing 2-3 in the Swiss Stage and then in the Top 11 at the conclusion of the competition.

As they should have, they participated in the LTA regional event to kick off the 2025 season. They were fourth in the “northern conference”, i.e., the LTA North 2025 Split 1, but they bounced back at the LTA 2025 Cross-Conference, where they defeated 100 Thieves in the championship match: 3-0.

The current form of Karmine Corp

KC are complete newbies to the LEC league despite their enormous popularity in Europe. The French squad has participated in a number of Tier-2 tournaments inside the LEC realm in addition to playing on the local scene versus fellow countrymen. Karmine Corp bought a slot from Astralis to join the LEC. The Danish team chose to sell its spot in the elite division after failing to produce results the previous season. We’ll see if they made the correct decision.

KC were the worst team in the LEC Winter 2024. At one point, they only had one win, finishing with a record of 2-7. They replicated their winter split result on the LEC Spring 2024. In other words, they took the last place once more, and the record was the same—two wins and seven losses.

With a score of 4-5 at the LEC Summer 2024, Karmine Corp advanced to the Playoffs from fifth place. They lost 0-2 against G2 Esports in their playoff debut match, falling to the Lower Bracket. They then repeatedly defeated more reputable opponents. Furthermore, they eventually made it to the Semifinals but were eliminated by BDS.

In the LEC Winter 2025 – Regular Season, KC performed quite satisfactorily. Having a 6-3 record like G2 and KOI, Kim “Canna” Chang-dong and company came in second. Karmine Corp easily defeated Team Vitality in the first round of the Playoffs and then defeated KOI. It was a completely different scenario against G2, which led to a 1-3 loss. In the Lower Bracket, they narrowly overcame Fnatic 3-2, but in the Grand Final, Karmine Corp surprisingly demolished the top European team, G2, by a score of 3-0.

Head-to-head

This will be the first official match between these two teams on the professional stage.

Match analytics

We anticipate a close contest. From our perspective, this is a match between two teams equal in quality, so it’s a perfect ground for a total over bet. If we had to pick a winner, we’d probably go with Liquid because they have played internationally more than their rivals.

Tip: Total Maps – O 2.5, with odds of 1.90 on Bet365.
