Karmine Corp Roster, Stats and Worlds 2026

The current Karmine Corp roster is Canna, Yike, kyeahoo, Caliste and Busio. They are the EMEA organization that won LEC 2026 Summer and qualified for Worlds 2026 as EMEA’s third seed. KC has been one of the LEC’s most consistent winners since 2025, with domestic titles in both years and two international finals. For the wider competitive picture, start from the esports hub.

Karmine Corp fields a settled five: Canna in the top lane, Yike in the jungle, kyeahoo in mid, Caliste on bot and Busio at support. The same five players have started every game of the 2026 season. That kind of continuity is rare in a year with this many matches.

The staff behind them is led by coaches Zeph and Reapered. Neither is part of the playing lineup. Each player name above links to a full feature with champion pools and career history.

Karmine Corp’s 2026 is a winning season by a wide margin. The team takes the large majority of its series and wins close to two games in every three it plays. The record holds up across formats: KC has won Bo3 regular-season sets and Bo5 playoff series alike.

Side selection matters more for KC than for most top teams. They are clearly stronger on blue side, where they win at a rate that would lead most leagues. Red side is still a winning record, but a noticeably softer one. Their games average a little over half an hour, so this is not a team that relies on early stomps. It is comfortable playing into the mid game and closing through objectives.

Caliste is the statistical anchor. He posts the highest KDA on the roster and dies the least, which is the profile of a bot laner the team plays around. Yike adds real kill pressure from the jungle, while Busio’s line is almost all assists, the mark of a support who lives in every fight.

Karmine Corp drafts around a small set of power picks rather than a wide pool. Rumble is their most played champion, and it returns well above the team’s overall win rate. That makes it a first-phase priority opponents have to answer. Vi sits right behind it and has been the team’s most reliable winner among its frequent picks.

The rest of the list points to a team that values control mages and safe carries. Azir and Viktor give kyeahoo two scaling mid options. Gnar adds a second strong top-side choice next to Rumble. Caitlyn and Ezreal cover the bot lane. Ezreal is the outlier: it is picked often but has only broken even, so treat it as a comfort or blind pick rather than a win condition.

Nautilus and Nocturne top the ban list, both champions that create forced engages and dive threats. Vi and Rumble are contested enough to appear on the pick list and the ban list. That is a sign of how central they are to games involving KC. Pick and ban priorities shift with balance changes, so check the latest patch notes before reading too much into any single champion.

Karmine Corp went unbeaten through the back half of LEC 2026 Summer. Most of those Bo3 series ended without the opponent taking a game, including wins over G2 Esports, Fnatic, Team Heretics and GIANTX. That run carried them to first place in the split.

The playoffs were less kind. KC opened with a Bo5 win over GIANTX, then lost back-to-back Bo5 series to G2 Esports and Movistar KOI. Those two losses are the most recent games on record before Worlds. They are the best footage for judging how KC holds up against teams that have prepared for them in a long series. Every game of the playoff run is linked below.

Karmine Corp’s modern era starts in 2025. The organization won the LEC 2025 Winter Playoffs, then reached the final of First Stand 2025, where it finished second. It closed that year’s first half by winning LEC 2025 Spring, a sign that it could hold its level over a full domestic split.

2026 has been even busier. KC opened the year by winning LEC 2026 Versus, finished second at the Esports World Cup 2026, and then took first in LEC 2026 Summer. Two international finals in two years point to a team that can go deep outside Europe. Turning a final into an international title is the step that is still missing. The full list of titles and top-four finishes is below.

Karmine Corp qualified for Worlds 2026 as EMEA’s third seed. It starts in the Play-In, and the Play-Ins stage begins on 15 October 2026. Teams that come through the Play-Ins move into the Swiss stage, with the Knockouts after that. Follow every stage on the Worlds 2026 hub.
