Glad to see you on EGamersWorld.
We continue to watch the 2025 LEC Spring Split as LEC Spring 2025 gears up for the start of the second week of matches.
The first game day of the second week will feature a matchup between the current LEC champions, Karmine Corp, and BDS.
We will figure out which of the BDS - Karmine Corp pair will be stronger and earn additional points on the long road to the LEC Spring 2025 playoffs.
Let's go.
Karmine Corp Form
We open the analysis of the match Karmine Corp – BDS with an analysis of the game form of KC. In this match they play as favorites with a coefficient of victory in the region of 1.3.
Despite their great popularity in Europe, Karmine Corp is an absolute newcomer to the LEC league. Before that, the French team played on the local scene, competing against their compatriots, and also performed at various TIR-2 events that are part of the LEC ecosystem.
The team has a very serious track record for 2023, including participation in 4 tournaments. For professional teams in the League of Legends, this is a significant indicator, since most of them play exclusively within a single league.
Karmine Corp started LFL Spring 2023 and had a terrible start. The team went 7-11 in the local league group stage, which wasn't enough to even make the playoffs.
Then the situation improved significantly and Karmine Corp raised the championship cup over their heads twice in a row. The first time was at LFL Summer 2023, and the second time was at EMEA Masters Summer 2023. By the way, Karmine Corp won Masters 4 times in the history of the team and this is a significant indicator.
The last tournament of the last season was the Coup De France 2024 championship. Either there was no priority for the event, or they were not in shape at all, but KC took the TOP-8 there.
- Ingredients of Karmine Corp: Canna, Yike, Vladi, Caliste, Targamas.
Karmine Corp became members of the LEC by purchasing a slot from Astralis. The Danish club, which did not achieve results last season, decided to sell its place in the prestigious league. Whether they did the right thing - we will find out later.
In the first match of LEC Winter 2024, Karmine Corp will play against Fnatic. I believe in Karmine's victory in that match. After that, there is a game against G2 Esports, and that's where Karmine Corp will have a much harder time. However, with Fnatic, everything turned out the other way around: KC won, and with G2 Esports, everything is logical, an easy victory for the "samurai".
Karmine Corp are officially the worst team of LEC Winter 2024 ahead of time. Entering their final regular season match, KC are 1-7, with their only win coming in Week 3 against SK Gaming. The only sweet spot was the prestige point Karmine Corp earned in their final group stage match.
At LEC Spring 2024, Karmine Corp repeated their “success” of the winter split. That is, they took the last place again, and with an identical result of 2 wins and 7 losses.
At LEC Summer 2024 Playoffs, they made it from 5th place with a score of 4-5. They debuted in the playoffs with a match against G2 Esports, where they lost with a score of 0-2. Karmine Corp quite unexpectedly moved MAD Lions KOI in the first round of the lower bracket, closing out a more titled opponent with a score of 2-0. Then another victory and again over a more titled opponent in the person of SK Gaming. As a result, they managed to get to the TOP-4, but then there was not enough enthusiasm and BDS knocked Karmine Corp out of the tournament.
Karmine Corp had a good LEC Winter 2025 group stage. Canna and company shared the second line of the group stage table with G2 and KOI, winning it back with a score of 6-3. In the first round of the playoffs, Karmine Corp confidently beat Team Vitality, and then won against KOI with the same score. Against G2, the situation was completely different and it led to a defeat with a score of 1-3. In the lower bracket, KOI barely beat Fnatic with a score of 3-2, but in the grand final, something happened: Karmine Corp literally destroyed G2, beating the best team in Europe with a score of 3-0, leaving the “samurai” no chance.
Karmine Corp did not show their best game at First Stand 2025. The LEC champions played 1-3, but due to a combination of circumstances and map differences, they made it to the playoffs. In the match for the grand final, they played a tough BO5 against CFO and were stronger. In the grand final, LEC champions Karmine Corp lost to HLE with a score of 1-3.
In the first week of LEC Spring 2025, Karmine Corp beat KOI with a score of 2-1.

BDS Form
We continue our analysis of the BDS – Karmine Corp match with an analysis of BDS's game form. In this match, they are playing as underdogs with a win odds of around 3.3.
At LEC Winter 2023, BDS made it to the group stage, but quickly dropped out, finishing last in their quartet. The result is TOP-7.
Next up is LEC Spring 2023 and BDS' moment of glory. They unexpectedly reached the grand final, but lost to MAD Lions, who were on a roll in the spring.
- BDS composition: Irrelevant, 113, Nuc, Ice, Parus.
Before LEC Finals 2023, BDS played LEC Summer 2023. They were one map short of making it to the playoffs. They finished the championship in 5th place.
Thanks to near-top places and TOP-2 at LEC Spring 2023, BDS were able to get to LEC Finals 2023, and also to the upper bracket, where they got to G2 Esports in the first round. The face-to-face meeting did not end with anything interesting and G2 closed the match without any problems with a score of 3-1.
After losing to the main favorites of the LEC Finals 2023 – G2 Esports – BDS played against SK Gaming. The German club was unable to do anything against the French and fell with a score of 0-3.
However, the match with SK ended BDS's path to the LEC Finals 2023. The team lost to Fnatic with a score of 2-3 in the next round of the lower bracket, thus not reaching the TOP-3 of the tournament for direct participation in the main tournament.
BDS have already started Worlds 2023 on a positive note. They outclassed Golden Guardians in the Worlds Qualifying Series, thereby snatching a slot for themselves in this same Play-In.
After a confident victory over GG at the Worlds Qualifying Series, BDS unexpectedly failed their first match at Worlds 2023. They lost to the second number Vietnam, thus becoming the main losers of the World Championship so far.
They managed to partially rehabilitate themselves in the match against DFM. The Japanese club did not put up the necessary resistance and BDS easily closed the series with a score of 2-0.
In the match for entry here, BDS played against CTBC. The French outplayed their opponents with class, closing the series with a score of 2-0.
BDS fought PSG Talon for the group stage. The French were one map away from elimination, but on the third map Adam and his Olaf gave his team a chance to cling to a comeback and BDS used it: a reverse sweep in the match for the group stage actually allowed BDS to get into the group stage.
In the group stage of Worlds 2023, BDS first encountered JD Gaming. Obviously, the world's number one team was too much for the French and they lost without much of a chance. Next came the match against MAD Lions and again an ironclad defeat. BDS's final at Worlds 2023 was as inglorious as their entire stay at the tournament - they lost to Dplus with a score of 0-2.
BDS will debut at LEC Winter 2024 against G2 Esports. Power to them! Later there will be a duel with GIANTX, it will be easier, but far from easy.
BDS had almost no equals in the LEC Winter 2024 regular season. The French club lost only 2 matches: the first of the year against G2 Esports and the last in the regular season against Karmine Corp.
In the LEC Winter 2024 playoffs, they met Team Heretics. There, the French team outclassed the “heretics” with a score of 2-0. The quarterfinals were not much more difficult for BDS: again a confident victory with a score of 2-0, but this time against Vitality. They fell to the lower bracket after a hopeless defeat to G2 Esports in the small final of the upper bracket. And there they lost to MAD Lions.
LEC Spring 2024 was a good year, but they couldn't make it to MSI 2024. Fnatic got in the way, knocking out BDS in the match for the Grand Final.
BDS advanced to the LEC Summer 2024 playoffs with great confidence, sharing the regular season TOP-1 with SK Gaming. The championship playoffs started with a 2-1 victory over MAD Lions KOI. Then they met G2 Esports and the outcome was more than obvious - 0-2 in favor of G2. Having fallen to the lower bracket, BSD beat GiantX, closing the series with a score of 2-1. Before this match, BDS played against Karmine Corp and that was a pretty tough match, but still ended in a 3-2 victory for BDS. But in the match for reaching the grand final, they were unlucky to meet G2: 1-3 and were eliminated in the TOP-3.
The LEC Finals 2024 started with a hopeless loss against Fnatic. Then came an equally hopeless win against SK Gaming in the first round of the lower bracket. Then came a match against G2 Esports for the TOP-3 of the LEC Finals, but BDS literally lacked one map to win and left the tournament with a score of 2-3.
BDS passed the regular season of LEC Winter 2025, as they say, “on the thinnest of legs”. The French club, after changes in the roster, took 7 places in the group table of LEC Winter 2025. The LEC Winter 2025 playoffs started with a match against KOI, where, being an outsider, they expectedly lost with a score of 0-2. In the lower bracket, BSD had enough for a victory against Vitality, and then a loss to Fnatic and the final TOP-6.
In the first week of LEC Spring 2025, they defeated Rogue with a score of 2-1.

Karmine Corp vs BDS Predicted Result at LEC Spring 2025
I expect a close game in this match. Despite Karmine Corp's title at LEC Winter 2025, I don't expect a flawless game from KC and expect a total of +2.5.
Result: total +2.5.
