Cloud9 vs Karmine Corp prediction

Karmine Corp won 3 of their last 5 series, with 8 game wins and 8 game losses. Those series come from the last 3 months, so the form is not fresh. Cloud9 won 3 of their last 5 too, with 10 game wins and 7 game losses. Their series are from the last 3 weeks, and the latest was on 3 Oct 2026.

This is Cloud9 vs Karmine Corp in the Upper Bracket Semifinal 2 of the Play-In. The event table is still empty, since this stage has no table yet. There are no earlier meetings in our data, so the head to head tells us nothing.

KC has rested 26 days since their last series on 19 Sep 2026. Cloud9 has rested 12 days since their last series. Neither side has played in a while, so rust is possible for both.

The series is best of 5, so the first team to 3 game wins takes it. In a single game, the model gives Karmine Corp a 60% chance. Over a longer series, that small edge grows into a 68% chance to take the series.

The model rates Karmine Corp at 1688 and Cloud9 at 1590. Both ratings rest on a fair number of series, so the data is solid but not huge. The rating uses past series results across all events, not just this stage of Worlds.

The model is not a sure thing, and an upset would not break the numbers. Karmine Corp could start slow and drop the first 2 games of the series. A longer series also gives Cloud9 more chances to adjust and come back.
