Karmine Corp and G2 Esports have opened the 2026 LEC Summer Split with strong series records in the single round-robin best-of-three format, establishing early leads that align with their stable rosters and recent international exposure at events like the Esports World Cup. Karmine Corp remains undefeated in series play through the opening weeks while G2 sits close behind, reflecting consistent map wins and momentum from Spring. Mid-tier sides such as Team Vitality hover near .500, while Fnatic, GIANTX, Movistar KOI, and others have posted mixed or sub-.500 results amid roster adjustments and the demands of road-trip venues in Paris and beyond. With top-six qualification required for the double-elimination best-of-five playoffs, remaining regular-season games will determine whether underperforming squads can climb via improved form or head-to-head results before the bracket begins in early September.
