SourcePick Ideas
Karmine Corp moneyline lean
With a stacked lineup featuring Canna, Yike, Kyeahoo, Caliste, and Busio plus Reapered at the helm, Karmine Corp profiles as the more stable favorite compared to Shifters’ evolving 2026 project.
Shifters + kills handicap appeal
Nuc and Boukada have respectable KDA and contribution numbers in 2026, suggesting Shifters can trade kills even in losses, which supports taking them with a kills spread rather than on the outright.
Over on total kills in a skirmish-heavy matchup
The jungle-mid duos of Boukada–nuc and Yike–Kyeahoo both lean toward active skirmishing and early fights, pointing to a game state that favors a higher-than-average kill total.
Rooster lane farm props overs
Rooster’s 290.5 average CS and 8.62 CS per minute in 2026 indicate he reliably stacks farm even in tougher matchups, making overs on his creep score-related markets an attractive angle.
First dragon to Karmine Corp
KC’s early-game structure around Yike’s pathing and Busio’s proactive roams has often translated into early objective control, giving them a statistical edge in markets like first dragon secured.
Paduck kill total over as Shifters’ late-game focus
Shifters’ investment in Paduck as their new Korean marksman and his strong damage share in their wins suggest that overs on his kill totals gain value if the game reaches extended teamfight scenarios.
