On May 16, 2025, at 18:00 CET, Karmine Corp will face MKOI in the Esports World Cup EMEA Qualifier 2025 Stage 1. We have analyzed the statistics and current form of both teams to provide a prediction for the outcome of this match. More detailed information can be found on the match page.
Current form of the teams
Karmine Corp is going through a difficult period, with a win rate of just 27% over the past six months. The revamped roster, signed ahead of the VCT 2025 season, has yet to deliver the results fans were hoping for. As for recent performances, Karmine Corp has shown mixed results — suffering defeats against Natus Vincere, Team Liquid, and FUT Esports, but securing wins over Gentle Mates and MKOI.
On the other hand, MKOI is not in much better shape, holding a win rate of just 14% over the past six months. Their recent matches include a win over Gentle Mates, but losses to Team Liquid, BBL Esports, FUT Esports, and Karmine Corp. In addition, just one day before the tournament began, the team announced major roster changes: sheydos, grubinho, and soulcas were removed from the lineup, replaced by baddyG, MONSTEERR, and nataNk. The coaching staff was also overhauled. Given these significant changes, their upcoming match could turn out to be very different from previous showings.
Head-to-Head
Karmine Corp has dominated previous encounters against MKOI, winning all four of their most recent matchups. Their latest clash, which took place on April 4, 2025, ended in a decisive 2-0 victory for Karmine Corp. However, since then, MKOI’s roster has undergone significant changes, making their head-to-head history less relevant when predicting the outcome of their upcoming match.
Match Prediction
Despite the major roster changes in MKOI, we give the edge to Karmine Corp in this match. The revamped MKOI lineup doesn’t appear significantly stronger than the previous one, and this will be their first official match together, which gives Karmine Corp a considerable advantage. We predict a 2-0 victory in favor of Karmine Corp.
Prediction: Karmine Corp 2:0 MKOI
