Anyone's Legend vs Karmine Corp Prediction 23 October 2026
💥 Anyone's Legend and Karmine Corp are set to clash in the opening round of the Swiss stage at the League of Legends World Championship. The matchup will be played in a best-of-one format, meaning just a single map win is enough to secure victory. The Chinese squad arrive at the tournament on the back of a strong LPL campaign, while the European side have already battled through the Play-In stage. Bookmakers have installed Anyone's Legend as the favourites, offering odds of 1.45 on their win. However, Karmine Corp come into this contest riding a three-match winning streak and will be looking to extend their run of form.

Anyone's Legend Team Overview
Anyone's Legend wrapped up their LPL campaign with a 3-1 victory over Bilibili Gaming. Earlier, they edged out Invictus Gaming (3-2) and LGD Gaming (3-1), but suffered a heavy defeat to Bilibili Gaming (0-3) in a previous encounter. As a result, the Chinese side have picked up three wins in their last five matches. Standout performers such as Breathe, Tarzan, and Shanks have played pivotal roles in orchestrating the team's attacks. However, following the conclusion of the domestic championship, Anyone's Legend have been out of official action for over a month, which could affect their match sharpness.
Match Results: Anyone's Legend

Karmine Corp Team Overview
Karmine Corp have successfully navigated the Play-In stage, stringing together three consecutive victories. The European squad edged out Cloud9 in a tight 3-2 series before delivering back-to-back sweeps against MVK Esports (3-0 each). Across six maps versus MVK Esports, Karmine Corp conceded just 40 deaths, showcasing solid defensive play. However, earlier defeats to MAD Lions (0-3) and G2 Esports (1-3) raise questions about their performances against higher-caliber opposition. Still, this strong start to the World Championship should boost the Europeans’ confidence going forward.

⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
We suggest backing the under 27.5 kills on Map 1. In their last six maps against MVK Esports, Karmine Corp and their opponents have stayed under the 27-kill mark five times. Additionally, Anyone's Legend come into this clash as favourites and have the roster depth to dictate the pace of play. The European side have also shown they can close out maps with minimal deaths, as reflected in their recent results. Given the typically cautious approach in opening matches at major tournaments, combined with Karmine Corp’s recent stats, we expect fewer than 28 kills here.
