Team Liquid vs Karmine Corp Line-Ups
Team Liquid formed their current roster in the off-season of late 2025. Retaining their core of nAts and kamo, the organization brought in MiniBoo, purp0, and wayne. Despite the relatively short time playing together, the roster quickly found a solid balance, which is confirmed by good results at the start of the 2026 season.
The current Karmine Corp roster was also formed in the off-season heading into 2026. After a mixed performance in 2025, the team underwent massive changes, bringing in a completely new squad featuring sheydos, SUYGETSU, avez, LewN, and dos9. The current lineup is gradually building synergy but has yet to show its first major successes.
Team Liquid Form & Performance
Team Liquid is a team that has maintained a high status in the EMEA region over the past year. Over the last six months, the team managed to secure a major regional trophy and establish themselves as a consistent Tier-1 contender.
Team Liquid’s peak in the previous season was at VCT 2025: EMEA Stage 2. The team demonstrated an incredibly high level of play, securing the 1st place finish and cementing their dominance in the region. However, at the main tournament of the year, VALORANT Champions 2025, Team Liquid performed slightly below expectations, suffering an early group-stage exit and finishing in 9th–12th place.
The 2026 season for Team Liquid began with the VCT 2026: EMEA Kickoff. The team finished the group stage confidently and made it to the playoffs. In the semifinals, Team Liquid played a close series but ultimately fell, finishing the tournament in 3rd place and narrowly missing out on the Grand Final. Following this, they participated in VCT 2026 Masters Santiago, where they placed 9th against top international competition.
Over the last 6 months, Team Liquid has proven they can beat top teams but occasionally struggle against elite global rosters. One of the main factors behind their stability was keeping the tactical core of nAts and kamo while integrating aggressive, young talent. This season, Team Liquid has shown solid fundamentals and proved capable of defeating strong regional teams.

Karmine Corp Form & Performance
Over the last 6 months, Karmine Corp has struggled to find consistent footing in the Tier-1 scene. The team’s biggest challenge has been finding a cohesive roster that can execute on the server against the highly structured teams in EMEA.
At the end of the 2025 season, during VCT 2025: EMEA Stage 2, Karmine Corp played decently but ultimately failed to qualify for the playoffs, finishing in 7th place. This led to a significant rebuild of the roster.
The first major tournament for the updated Karmine Corp roster was the VCT 2026: EMEA Kickoff. The team performed below expectations and failed to make a deep run. In the Main Event, they faced Team Liquid in a deciding match but lost 1–2, ending their Kickoff run in 9th place.
Following the Kickoff, Karmine Corp participated in the VCT 2026: EMEA Clash. The team showed glimpses of improved teamplay but once again failed to reach the later stages, finishing in 9th place after dropping series to FUT Esports and Enterprise Esports.
Among Karmine Corp’s matches, it is worth highlighting their individual mechanical potential, especially from experienced Tier-1 champions like SUYGETSU and sheydos. However, the team currently lacks the macro coordination needed to close out tight maps against disciplined opponents. In the 2026 season, the team is currently playing below expectations, and VCT 2026: EMEA Stage 1 is a crucial chance to meet fans’ expectations, build synergy, and return to a competitive level of play.
