Free eSports Predictions for Karmine Corp vs KOI

KOI and Karmine Corp will face off on Thursday, April 27, in Week 4 of the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) 2023 EMEA League. This will be both teams' first match of the season.

KOI is a 1.25 favourite on esports sites to defeat Karmine Corp (3.75), which doesn't seem too crazy considering how poor Karmine Corp has been this year. Last week, KC played a highly competitive series against Natus Vincere, so perhaps this match won't be as one-sided as it appears.

• The Karmine Corp is on the rise
• In the last two weeks, KOI have not played a single match
• With their current lineups, KOI must win this match.
• KOI and Karmine Corp have never met

Form for Karmine Corp

Having won just one series against BBL Esports in the opening week of the VCT 2023 EMEA League, Karmine Corp has since lost to Team Heretics (0-2), Team Liquid (0-2), Team Vitality (0-2), and Natus Vincere (2-0).

During their first three defeats, Karmine Corp looked terrible, winning just seven rounds against Team Liquid (5-13, 2-13) and eight rounds against Team Vitality (2-13, 6-13), but in their series against Natus Vincere, they stepped up their game. Although Karmine Corp lost the game, they performed exceptionally well and should've won the game against Ascent (11-13).

News from the Karmine Corp Squad & Team

Form KOI

On the opening day of the VCT 2023 EMEA League, KOI won 2-0 against Natus Vincere. Since that win, KOI have lost against Team Vitality (0-2), Giants (0-2), and FUT Esports (0-2), and they would've likely lost against Fnatic as well, but the match (scheduled for last week) got postponed due to Fnatic reporting some of their players getting sick with COVID-19.

In spite of their past results, KOI cannot be considered one of the top European teams. KOI won against NaVi, but it doesn't hold much weight because they lost to Vitality, Giants, and FUT Esports without winning a single map.

So where does that place KOI compared to Karmine Corp? In our eyes, that puts them about at the same level. If they can't defeat those three teams, then perhaps they shouldn't be considered a top-three team in VCT 2023 EMEA League and hardly a mid-table team.

News from the KOI Squad & Team

No roster changes have been announced by KOI.

My Conclusion

With Newzera stepping down from Karmine Corp's roster, there are some questions about this squad, namely, who will replace him for Thursday's match. Even so, judging from how Karmine Corp performed without Newzera against Natus Vincere, this roster change appears to have been a good move.

Karmine Corp haven't looked good until last week, but they've shown noticeable improvement since, and if they keep playing at this pace, they will cause a lot of damage. But are they stronger than KOI?

On paper, KOI are still better, but their results suggest otherwise. KOI have not shown anything promising this season, and until we see some improvement, it's fair to assume that KOI can lose to anyone; thus, they are not priced as 1.25 favourites for this match.

Underdogs are the best.
