☑️ My View on the Worlds 2026 Play-Ins

The above image is how I have gone about things, and if you’re a fan of any team not Karmine Corp, your Worlds 2026 journey is going to end early.

It’s not as straightforward as that, but given how Karmine Corp has performed this year, it’s hard not to bet against them. Yes, they did have a poor performance in the playoffs. But they have had more than enough time to prepare, and with C9’s bottom lane not looking as good as earlier in the playoffs, the advantage goes to KC.
