Karmine Corp vs CFO match analysis

Karmine Corp was gaining insane momentum, especially when the team won against Cloud9 in a tough best-of-five in this tournament’s play-in. However, much of that momentum has already fallen. With Anyone’s Legend being among the first teams to be eliminated from Worlds this year, KC has only won against arguably the weakest team in the Swiss Stage. The team then proceeded to lose against LYON and BLG.

Much of KC’s victories come from its experienced bot lane. Caliste is an excellent ADC, especially when Busio provides the right initiation for him. The team knows how to play under pressure, but it has showcased inconsistencies when facing off against stronger opponents than it’s used to in domestic matches.

CFO is nowhere near as impressive as it was last year, but Doggo’s carry potential is still undeniable. The team has an all-around strong team with no weak links, though the team’s overreliance on Doggo is clear. It’s as if the entire team crumbles if its bottom lane isn’t able to get an advantage, though KC hasn’t shown the strategic prowess to prove it can realize and counter this.

Looking at how both teams have been performing recently, there’s a strong chance that the match will go the distance. It may be a good idea to take the over on 2.5 maps, especially considering the high potential return. KC will likely want to try and get a decent early lead against CFO, which could potentially give the team the first blood as well. However, when it comes to the winner, CFO’s lineup is mechanically skilled enough to win against the shaky Karmine Corp, despite the gap in international experience.

CFO and Karmine Corp aren’t anywhere near the top of the list of favorites to win this entire thing. That doesn’t mean they can’t cause a couple of upsets on their way to the knockout stage. Both teams have shining strengths and glaring weaknesses, but looking at CFO’s highs and raw talent, there’s a good chance that it may come out on top in this match to survive elimination.
