First Stand 2025: HLE Defeat Karmine Corp 2:1 and Become the First Team to Reach the Playoffs
An absolutely thrilling match took place between Hanwha Life Esports and Karmine Corp. HLE, the undisputed tournament favorites, continue their run without a single loss, while Karmine Corp, already holding two losses and one victory, fought hard despite their challenging position—even securing a win against the formidable Top Esports.
The entire match was filled with intense tension, with HLE refusing to give up the victory, while Karmine Corp proved they truly deserved their spot in the tournament. Probably the most epic moment of the tournament came on the second map. Both teams kept shifting the advantage back and forth, using every opportunity to attack. In the end, Karmine Corp secured the second map, leveling the score to 1-1, giving hope to their fans.
Unfortunately for KC fans, the complete comeback didn’t happen, and Hanwha Life Esports took the third map, securing the match with a 2:1 victory. As a result, HLE became the first team to advance to the Playoffs. Meanwhile, Karmine Corp now has to wait for tomorrow’s results, as their fate depends on whether they stay in the tournament or are eliminated, with a 1-3 match record.
