GIANTX vs Karmine Corp betting predictions – LEC 2026 Versus Playoffs

GIANTX vs KARMINE CORP

Karmine Corp and GIANTX are set to lock horns on Friday, February 27, in the lower bracket semifinal of LoL EMEA Championship (LEC) 2026 Versus, in what should be a straightforward game for KC.

The best LoL bookmakers have priced Karmine Corp at -454.55, giving them a 86.2% implied probability of proceeding to the LB finals.

While that is a big number, Karmine Corp already defeated GIANTX in the opening round of the playoffs and once before in the group stage, and there is little to suggest they can’t do it again.

Karmine Corp enter this match off a 2-1 victory against Team Vitality. The first map was very competitive, mainly due to Vitality’s great drafting. The next two maps were much more one-sided, with Karmine Corp outdrafting and outplaying the Bees.

Despite the tough loss on map one, Karmine Corp performed admirably in another of many promising performances they’ve put together this season.

GIANTX have fought their way through the lower bracket by beating Team Heretics and Natus Vincere. The latter fixture was a bit chaotic, with both teams throwing away huge leads, although GIANTX outplayed NAVI on map three.

Despite eliminating Team Heretics and Natus Vincere, GIANTX have not looked great. They’re a mediocre team at best. While GIANTX will punish mistakes, they are also very prone to slipping in the mid-late game themselves.

As the latest odds suggest, Karmine Corp are the better team, and it is hard to argue with that. They are the most stable squad in the league, with strong understanding of the current meta, and deep champion pool.

Barring any surprises, this should end in a quick victory for Karmine Corp.
