Karmine Corp take advantage of home-field advantage to go 3-0 during LEC Roadtrip

Karmine Corp (6-0) took full advantage of a hectic three-game schedule this past weekend at Les Arènes de Grand Paris Sud in Évry-Courcouronnes for their leg of the LEC Spring Roadtrips.

With a 3-0 result, defeating Natus Vincere, Shifters, and Fnatic in subsequent days, KC have locked themselves in at the top of the table and poised for Playoff success. Here’s how it went down.

KC win three to capitalize on home-court advantage for LEC Roadtrip

KC kicked off the proceedings against top-contender Natus Vincere, a six-win team headed into the weekend, and a squad already locked-in for the LEC Spring Playoffs. However, NAVI found themselves humbled in KC’s most dominant display on Friday, April 24, a 2-0 sweep with the crowd behind them.

Karmine Corp’s biggest challenge, surprisingly, came from last-place Shifters. The team, who moved to 0-7 on the season, almost pulled off the upset of a lifetime against KC during their French sojourn. With the series tied at 1-1 before the final game, fans were braced for a brutal defeat, only for KC to pull back and secure victory.

With a scary moment behind them, KC concluded the weekend with another 2-1 victory over a floundering Fnatic side. Fnatic have been in abysmal form this season, with just two series wins and only a longshot hope at making playoffs.

Against Karmine Corp, Fnatic proved why they’re sitting at the bottom half of the Spring Split table, fumbling a 1-1 to give KC three-straight.

Karmine Corp moved to the top of the schedule, with just Movistar KOI, GIANTX, and G2 Esports left on their schedule. While all of their upcoming opponents are in must-win situations to lock-in their spot in the LEC Spring Playoffs, KC are comfortably secured after their 3-0 win, and now-undefeated stint.

The 3-0 record also highlights just how special these Roadtrip events can be. With a fanatical crowd behind them, KC seemed unstoppable, even in the face of upsets and top-flight opponents. The next LEC Roadtrip, hosted by Movistar KOI in Madrid, could potentially feature KOI desperately battling for their final chance at PC
