Karmine Corp vs Giants Gaming Preview and Predictions – VCT 2023 EMEA League

The ongoing Week 8 of the VCT 2023 EMEA League proceeds with the Karmine Corp vs Giants Gaming matchup

With Giants Gaming almost qualified and Karmine Corp already out, not much is at stake for this clash. However, both teams will approach the matchday with a desire to conclude the league stage on a positive note, looking for a better placement in the standings. If you are seeking a detailed breakdown of the upcoming encounter, you have come to the right place.

Karmine Corp

Karmine Corp’s nightmare-ish journey is finally coming to an end. How the team with the most structured gameplay and sublime utility usage had such a devastating run is a mystery. In addition to the 2-6 record, the French team has an embarrassing map differential of -83. As the final match of the league stage approaches, the outcome holds little significance for ScreaM and his teammates, except for the opportunity to spare themselves the indignity of finishing in last place.
