Karmine Corp qualifies for League of Legends Worlds 2026 Swiss Stage

Karmine Corp has qualified for the Swiss Stage of the League of Legends World Championship 2026 for the first time in the organization's history. The French team secured their spot by defeating MVK Esports with a 3-0 sweep in the Play-In phase.

During the final series, player Kyeahoo delivered a standout performance with a 15.0 KDA. Despite the victory, French botlaner Caliste expressed dissatisfaction with his early tournament performance, specifically citing difficulties during a previous series against Cloud9. Caliste noted that pressure has impacted his ability to play at 100 percent but stated his intention to perform at full capacity against top-tier teams.

Looking ahead to the Swiss Stage, which begins on October 23 in Allen, Texas, Caliste expressed a desire to face Gen. G and compete against the professional player Ruler. Karmine Corp is scheduled to face the top-seeded Chinese team, Anyone’s Legend, in their opening match of the next stage.
