Karmine Corp delivered a clinical 3-0 sweep over Movistar KOI in the LEC Spring 2026 Playoffs Lower Bracket Final on June 6, 2026. The dominant performance sends KC to the Grand Final against G2 Esports and locks in EMEA's second spot at the 2026 Mid-Season Invitational.
A Second Consecutive Sweep From KC
Coming off a 3-0 victory over GIANTX in the Lower Bracket Semifinals, Karmine Corp maintained that same relentless energy against Movistar KOI. KC controlled the pace of each game from the early stages, securing resources and closing out matches without giving MKOI any route back into the series. Three wins, zero conceded maps — a statement run through the lower bracket.
MSI 2026 Spot Secured for Karmine Corp
By reaching the LEC Spring 2026 Grand Final, Karmine Corp automatically qualify as EMEA's second representative at MSI 2026. G2 Esports had already locked in the first spot after defeating KC 3-1 in the Upper Bracket Final. Both EMEA teams will now head to the international stage, with KC securing their ticket through an impressive lower bracket run.
Movistar KOI Exit in Third Place
Movistar KOI's LEC Spring 2026 run ends at the Lower Bracket Final. The Spanish organisation had previously pushed G2 Esports to a dramatic 3-2 decider in the Upper Bracket Final before dropping to the lower bracket. Facing a Karmine Corp side at the peak of their form, MKOI could not find the answers needed. They finish third in the Spring 2026 Playoffs.
