Which team wins the best-of-five decides who advances to the next playoff round and who is eliminated from the Esports World Cup.

Series result affects seeding, prize distribution, and international rankings for both organizations across the tournament.

Karmine Corp and Dplus KIA are the competing organizations, with their starting rosters and coaching staffs responsible for execution.

Individual players' early-game junglers and mid-laners, plus team shotcallers and subs, will matter for pick/ban and in-series adjustments.

Drafts and champion pools shape each game's possibilities; target bans or comfort picks can swing individual maps.

In-game variables like early skirmishes, objective control (drakes, Rift Herald, Baron), and mid-series strategic shifts change win probabilities.

Watch the pick/ban phase and first ten minutes for jungle pathing, lane matchups, and whether either team secures early dragons.

Track substitution announcements, post-game coach interviews, and timing of Baron fights; series schedule and individual game starts set immediate resolution windows.
