Karmine Corp sweeps MVK Esports with a backdoor finish

Caliste and Busio strike early

Caliste and Busio gave Karmine Corp an early opening in Game 1, securing a level-three two-versus-two double kill with Draven and Nautilus. Kyeahoo's Syndra and Canna's Jayce gained lane priority, while Yike's Vi secured objectives. MVK found bot-jungle kills, but Karmine Corp's gold lead continued to grow before it won the opener.

Karmine Corp finished Game 1 with nine kills to four in the upper bracket final.

A dragon contest changes Game 2

MVK introduced substitute jungler SanSan for Game 2 and retained him for Game 3. He had not competed since May.

MVK picked top Twisted Fate and mid Rumble for Game 2, and SanSan's Qiyana reached three kills, no deaths and three assists. Karmine Corp then caught Qiyana and erased its gold deficit with kills while contesting MVK's third dragon. MVK secured a surprise Baron, but Karmine Corp won the subsequent Baron fight and the game.

The second game's 21–11 kill count accompanied a two-game series lead, leaving Karmine Corp one victory from a sweep.

Baron resistance ends with a backdoor

In Game 3, Kyeahoo's Viktor pressured mid Kog'Maw, with Yike's Jarvan IV helping inflict three deaths. Canna turned a gank into a Kennen kill, and Karmine Corp secured Baron at 21 minutes.

MVK still found a response through Chika's Kog'Maw, whose poke forced Karmine Corp away from Baron. MVK secured Baron's objective bounty, extending its resistance despite Karmine Corp's substantial lead. The closing sequence shifted toward Elder Dragon: Karmine Corp drew MVK toward the objective, then ended the game and completed the series through a backdoor instead of an Elder fight.
