The second week of the LEC Spring 2025 regular season will see Karmine Corp face Fnatic. Although KC is the favorite to win, the gap isn’t too great, suggesting that Fnatic may have a real chance to create an upset.
The LEC Spring 2025 tournament has kicked off with its regular season, and ten of the best European teams are duking it out to see which will place at the top. Those who perform the best get the bigger cash prizes, while the top two teams also qualify for the Mid-Season Invitational 2025 and Esports World Cup 2025.
The fifth match of the second week will see Karmine Corp and Fnatic meet on the big stage. The two teams last met during the LEC Winter 2025 tournament, and while Karmine Corp managed to claim victory then, bettors are left to wonder how things will go this time.
Karmine Corp has established itself as one of the strongest European teams. Its performance during the LEC Winter 2025 tournament secured the team first place before KC went on to claim second place in 2025 First Stand while beating strong teams including Top Esports and CTBC Flying Oyster.
On the other hand, Fnatic’s recent performance has been lackluster. The team found third place in the LEC Winter 2025 tournament and has lost one of two matches in the current LEC Spring 2025 series. Compared to that, KC is currently undefeated in this tournament stage, showcasing its continued consistency. In particular, KC’s jungler Vladi has established himself as a force to be reckoned with and his continuing to deliver may be bad news for Fnatic.
Below are the rosters for both teams in the upcoming match.
Karmine Corp
Fnatic
Karmine Corp has continued to go with different champions in the current LEC Spring 2025. While the most common recent picks are Ambessa and Alistar, other champions could include Lillia, Vi, Sylas, Akali, Varus, and Ashe.
As for Fnatic, Rakan, Varus, and Yone are the most common picks for the team’s support, ADC, and mid-lander, respectively. The jungler champion could potentially be Skarner, Pantheon, or Naafiri, while the top pick could be Rumble, Ambessa, or Galio.
Karmine Corp and Fnatic have faced off in the LEC five times to date. KC has won only once and Fnatic won four times, giving it an 80% win percentage against the favorites here.
Karmine Corp’s performance in the 2025 First Stand tournament ensures the team is the favorite in the upcoming match. KC’s line of 1.75 compared to Fnatic’s 2.05 establishes the latter as the underdog.
Karmine Corp’s greatest strength, in addition to its recent international exposure with First Stand, is the consistency of its players. The team’s record in previous LEC events is excellent, especially compared to other, lesser teams in the region. Karmine Corp’s aggressive playing style will likely catch Fnatic off guard in the first game, resulting in the team getting the first tower.
Fnatic’s experience against Karmine Corp suggests the team may start adapting to the opposing team’s strategy to grab the second game. However, strategizing isn’t Fnatic’s strong point, as was shown against SK Gaming. Mid-laner Humanoid is arguably the biggest anomaly for Fnatic. While he has showcased excellent skill in some matches, he has recently thrown multiple times, and giving KC’s Vladi enough leeway to get fed early may make him strong enough to end any game in this series.
