LEC Versus 2026: SK Gaming Crushes Karmine Corp Blue in 25 Minutes
The match day opens with a clash between SK Gaming and Karmine Corp Blue. Both teams currently hold lackluster records in the group, sitting at 1-4. This match is critically important for both sides as they look to improve their standings. Let us proceed with the match review.
Game 1 Picks:
- SK Gaming: Rumble, Pantheon, Yone, Varus, Alistar
- Karmine Corp Blue: Aatrox, Jarvan IV, Azir, Yunara, Rakan
The game began with intense pressure from SK Gaming in the mid lane. They successfully forced Azir out of the lane, which allowed Yone to secure an entire minion wave solo. Following this, SK Gaming capitalized on minor mistakes from Karmine Corp Blue to pick up several more kills. KCB was dissatisfied with this turn of events and attempted to respond with their own aggressive plays, but this backfired, leading to significant losses during the early game stage.
These early errors cost Karmine Corp Blue two dragons, resulting in a 12:2 scoreline in favor of SK Gaming and a 9,000 gold lead. At such an early stage, this advantage was incredibly massive, allowing SK Gaming to exert absolute control over the map.
By the 23rd minute, SK Gaming secured their first Baron, extending their lead to over 14,000 gold. Given the short match duration, such a vast advantage in both gold and experience essentially sealed the outcome of the game. To further cement their dominance, SK Gaming also secured the Chemtech Soul.
It was a total destruction of Karmine Corp Blue in just 25 minutes. With this victory, SK Gaming moves to a 2-4 record in the group, while Karmine Corp Blue suffers another defeat, falling to 1-5.
