Game results
Game 1 - Vitality win, 16-13 kills
Vitality took Game 1 with a 16-13 kill score. Their Game 1 performance gave them the series lead before Karmine Corp responded across the final 2 games. Caliste on Yunara posted a 4-3-3 KDA and 30,981 damage in Game 1 - a competitive individual output that kept Karmine Corp in the kill count despite the loss.
Game 2 - Karmine Corp win, 21-12 kills
Karmine Corp levelled the series in Game 2 with a dominant 21-12 kill performance. The 9-kill margin reflected a team that found their teamfight execution after the Game 1 defeat and imposed their collective style on Vitality across the mid and late game.
Game 3 - Karmine Corp win, 19-10 kills
Karmine Corp closed out the series in Game 3 with a 19-10 kill performance. Caliste on Sivir posted a 9-1-7 KDA - leading all players in damage dealt in the deciding game. Yike on Vi posted a 4-1-14 KDA with a 95% kill participation rate. The combination of Caliste's damage output and Yike's teamfight presence gave Karmine Corp complete control of the deciding game from the early stages.
Standout performances
Caliste - Karmine Corp
Caliste was named MVP of the series. His Game 3 performance on Sivir - 9 kills, 1 death, 7 assists - was the highest individual damage output of the deciding game and the performance that gave Karmine Corp their primary carry threat in the most important map of the series.
His Game 1 output on Yunara - 4-3-3 KDA and 30,981 damage with 53.8% kill participation - reflected a player competing at a high individual level even in the map Karmine Corp lost. Across 3 games under the Fearless Draft system - where champion pools are progressively constrained - Caliste delivered his peak performance in the deciding game. That is the individual quality that wins series at the top level.
Yike - Karmine Corp
Yike was named Player of the Series. His Game 3 performance on Vi - 4 kills, 1 death, 14 assists, 95% kill participation - reflects a jungler who was present in every meaningful teamfight sequence of the deciding game.
A 95% kill participation rate in a 35-minute deciding game of a Bo3 series reflects a player who set the tempo of every fight from the opening objective contest. His early jungle pressure in Game 3 created the conditions that allowed Caliste to reach his Sivir power spikes - the same pattern Isma and Jackies used in GIANTX's Game 3 win over Fnatic earlier in the day.
Context and what comes next
Karmine Corp move to 1-0 after Day 1 of the LEC Spring Split 2026. Their win over Vitality - coming back from a Game 1 deficit to win Games 2 and 3 with dominant kill margins - reflects a team whose collective resilience under the Fearless Draft system is one of the strongest in the field.
Vitality drop to 0-1 after their opening weekend. Humanoid's veteran mid lane experience and the collective individual quality of their new roster gave them Game 1 - but Karmine Corp's adjustment across Games 2 and 3 exposed a structural vulnerability in Vitality's system that their next opponents will study closely.
