On March 10, 2025, at 10:00 Eastern European Time, Team Liquid and Karmine Corp will compete in the group stage of First Stand 2025. The match will be in a Bo3 format, and we offer our prediction for the game.

Current Team Form

Team Liquid

Team Liquid is showing stable performance, having won three of their last five matches. They performed well in the LTA 2025 Cross-Conference, where they defeated Isurus Estral, Cloud9, and 100 Thieves. However, a loss to FlyQuest and a tense match against Cloud9 indicate that the team has not yet reached its peak form. Nevertheless, experienced players like CoreJJ and Impact could be key figures in the upcoming match.

Karmine Corp

Karmine Corp is also demonstrating confident play. They achieved high positions in the LEC Winter 2025, defeating Team Vitality, KOI, and Fnatic. Their dominant performance against G2 Esports in the finals with a score of 3:0 is particularly noteworthy. Karmine Corp is clearly in good form and can pose a serious challenge to Liquid.

Match Prediction

Team Liquid has more experience and stability, but Karmine Corp is currently in decent form. If Karmine Corp can structure their drafts wisely and execute their aggression, they have every chance of winning. However, Team Liquid knows how to adapt to opponents and can capitalize on strategic mistakes by their rivals.

PREDICTION: Karmine Corp wins 2:1
