LEC Versus 2026: Karmine Corp Defeat Los Ratones to Finish Week 1 at 2-1

The penultimate match of the day took place between Los Ratones and Karmine Corp. Prior to the match, Los Ratones held a 0-2 record, while Karmine Corp stood at 1-1. The game began with a lengthy pause from Karmine Corp due to technical issues experienced by one of their players. Now, let’s move to the match itself.

Game 1 Picks:

• Los Ratones: Dr. Mundo, Vi, Oriana, Yunara, Bard
• Karmine Corp: Gnar, Wukong, Azir, Aphelios, Lulu

The game started at a very slow pace, as both teams avoided forcing the issue and focused on standard laning. However, Karmine Corp eventually secured the first kill, which served as a catalyst for them to begin building a lead.

Los Ratones were not willing to give up easily and became significantly more active. After securing a dragon, they began to pressure Karmine Corp across the map quite successfully. This allowed them to equalize the gold and completely neutralize the advantage KC had built earlier.

Despite the strong efforts from Los Ratones, Karmine Corp managed to overcome their opponents. Disciplined teamfighting and superior positioning led to KC's second victory. Unfortunately for Los Ratones and their fans, the team ends the first competitive week with a 0-3 record.

This year, the LEC Versus 2026 does not provide a cash prize for winning the tournament.

In total, teams will play 11 matches each, and those with the best results will advance to the playoffs.
