T1 vs Karmine Corp match analysis

Both teams looked very good in their recent MSI matches, but that’s only surface-level. T1 is a force to be reckoned with, especially on the big stage. The team’s ADC may be fairly new to the big leagues, but Peyz has more than adapted to his role, primarily thanks to his support being Keria. The duo is extremely strong in the bottom lane, especially when paired with Oner’s constant ganks.

Faker is as reliable as ever in the middle lane, and Doran has taken a more frontline-centered approach that seems to work wonders against weaker teams. While Karmine Corp has a bottom lane that dominated domestically, Caliste and Busio likely won’t be able to replicate their performances against a powerhouse team such as T1.

kyeahoo is a strong mid-laner, but he isn’t nearly as consistent as Faker. The same generally applies to Yike and Canna, who are strong as KC’s jungler and top laner, but fall short against the seasoned T1. Looking at all of this, it’s very likely that T1 will win here and move to the fourth round.

It may be a good idea to side with T1 on everything. This includes getting the first kill, the first objective, and even the first Baron. After all, while KC aims to use the Baron as a game-ending weapon, T1 uses it as a tool to force favorable fights that it can turn the tide of a match around in.

Those looking for a potentially high return may want to take the under on 3.5 maps being played. Karmine Corp’s domestic performance paled in comparison to G2 Esports, a team that hasn’t been able to compete against T1 recently. It wouldn’t be surprising if T1 comfortably sweeps KC, sending it to the third round.

T1 vs Karmine Corp betting picks & predictions

The competing teams have done well to make it this far. While elimination isn’t on the line just yet, the winner will definitely see a major advantage. KC’s a dominating force domestically and has some impressive accolades under its belt, but its players haven’t shown the mechanical and strategic capabilities to win against the reigning world champions.

Best picks:

T1 to get first blood at 1.63 odds: T1’s early game is extremely strong, which could give it a comfortable early kill.
Total maps to be under 3.5 at 2.21 odds: T1 comfortably swept Team Liquid, and there’s a good chance the same could happen here.
