On March 2, 2025, at 19:00 Eastern European Time, Karmine Corp and G2 Esports will meet in the grand final of the LEC Winter 2025. The series will be played in a Bo5 format, and we offer our prediction for this match.

Current Team Form

G2 Esports

At the start of the season, G2 Esports faced difficulties, but as the playoffs approached, they managed to find their game and peak form. They have already defeated Karmine Corp in the playoffs, giving them a psychological advantage. Additionally, G2 has a wide champion pool, which is a significant advantage in the Fearless Draft system, as it allows them to adapt to their opponent and offer unconventional strategies.

Karmine Corp

Karmine Corp is showing inconsistent play. In the match against Fnatic, they nearly lost the victory, leading 2:0, indicating some issues with mental resilience. Moreover, the team struggles in the Fearless Draft system, which put them at a disadvantage during some matches. However, after losing to G2 in the upper bracket of the playoffs, the coaching staff worked on the drafts, which allowed the team to improve this aspect of the game.

Head-to-Head Meetings

In the past month, G2 Esports and Karmine Corp have met twice: In the group stage, where Karmine Corp secured the victory. In the upper bracket of the playoffs, where G2 Esports took revenge with a score of 3:1. These results show that the teams are quite evenly matched in terms of gameplay, but G2 managed to find the key to victory in the last encounter.

Match Prediction

Considering the current form of the teams, recent head-to-head matches, and the Fearless Draft factor, G2 Esports appears to be the favorite in this final. They have already defeated Karmine Corp in the playoffs, have a more flexible champion pool, and stable gameplay.

Karmine Corp, on the other hand, has learned from their defeat, which could make the match more competitive. However, if G2 maintains their pace and demonstrates the same level of preparation as in previous matches, their victory seems the most likely scenario.

Prediction: G2 Esports will win 3:2
