T1 and Karmine Corp Both Sweep 3-0 to Open MSI 2026 Play-Ins

GameDaily · 23h ago

The 2026 Mid-Season Invitational got underway in Daejeon with two lopsided results: LCK powerhouse T1 swept Team Liquid 3-0, and Karmine Corp did the same to Deep Cross Gaming, sending both winners straight into the upper-bracket final. The result keeps Karmine Corp's underdog run alive after the French club punched its ticket to MSI through a regional qualifier gauntlet rather than a top LEC seed. Deep Cross Gaming and Team Liquid now drop into the lower bracket, where one more loss ends their tournament.
