Karmine Corp Blue Extend Their Run With a Vi-Led Rout
Karmine Corp Blue beat Skillcamp in 27:10, riding Yukino’s Vi and four dragons to extend their winning run and move within one game of the EMEA Masters final.
TL;DR: Karmine Corp Blue extended their winning run to 4 and moved one game from closing the series, sweeping Skillcamp aside in 27:10. Yukino’s Vi drove the jungle advantage, while Karmine Corp Blue claimed all 4 dragons and built a 14k gold lead. The draft forecast favored Skillcamp by 51%, but that edge never materialized.
Key Takeaways
- Yukino went 5/1/12 on Vi, with a +1031 gold difference at 15, turning early jungle pressure into control of the map.
- Karmine Corp Blue won the kill race 21-8 and took 4 dragons to 0, making its lead an objective stranglehold.
- Skillcamp entered with a 51% draft-model edge, yet finished with just 1 tower and 44.5k gold against 58.4k.
Building the Lead
With Karmine Corp Blue already ahead after Game 1, this second game put Skillcamp’s chance to answer under immediate pressure. The market had made Karmine Corp Blue a clear pre-game favorite, but the draft model leaned the other way, seeing a narrow 51% path for Skillcamp. That prediction depended on converting Ashe’s range and Renekton’s early window into objective control before Viktor could scale.
Instead, Yukino’s Vi found the terms of engagement. Her +1031 gold difference at 15 signaled a jungle matchup that tilted sharply toward Karmine Corp Blue, and the team’s eventual 4-0 dragon sweep showed how completely that pressure translated into map control. Skillcamp’s draft strengths remained theoretical as the lead grew.
The Numbers Tell the Story
The final 21-8 kill score and 58.4k to 44.5k gold total describe more than a win: they show how quickly the game’s options narrowed for Skillcamp. Karmine Corp Blue took 10 towers to 1, then secured the game’s only Baron. In a match lasting 27:10, that objective control left little room for a comeback.
Yukino’s 5/1/12 line gave Vi a hand in 17 takedowns, while Kamiloo finished 2/1/10 on Viktor, bringing reliable follow-up to the fights. Looki led the team with 9/3/6 on Lucian. Skillcamp’s EXOFENG managed 4/7/4 on Ashe, but those kills could not offset the team’s lost territory and gold.
The Final Push
Karmine Corp Blue kept the pressure focused on objectives rather than letting Skillcamp reset. Tao ended 5/0/3 on Aatrox, an unbroken frontline presence, while Prime added 16 assists on Milio to protect the carries through the final engagements. The draft edge did not materialize in-game: Skillcamp’s predicted matchup advantages were overwhelmed by Vi’s early impact and Karmine Corp Blue’s execution.
The result extended Karmine Corp Blue’s winning run to 4 and put the series at 2-0. A team that had already taken Game 1 by 24-6 now stood one win from closing out Skillcamp.
Polymarket Market
The pre-game market read the winner correctly: Karmine Corp Blue entered at 76%, and the favorite delivered. But the match was not simply a routine confirmation of that forecast. The live draft model had given Skillcamp 51%, and the decisive gap between prediction and result was execution: Yukino’s Vi converted jungle pressure into a four-dragon sweep, while Skillcamp never turned Ashe’s range or Renekton’s early window into control.
At series level, Karmine Corp Blue’s implied odds moved from 94% at draft close to 99% after the game; Skillcamp’s fell from 6% to 1%. The market now treats the next game as a likely closeout, though Skillcamp must still find a way to disrupt Karmine Corp Blue’s early map control.
