Karmine Corp, a French Valorant team, staged a remarkable comeback against NRG in the Esports World Cup 2026 Group B decider, overturning a first-map loss to win decisively on the map Fracture. Despite prediction markets giving them only a 31-33% chance to win, KC's 9-0 lead on Fracture highlighted a market mispricing. The event, with a $75 million prize pool, also saw heavy trading in crypto-based prediction markets, supported by France's regulatory framework allowing licensed crypto firms to sponsor esports events. This victory advances Karmine Corp further in the tournament and underscores the evolving intersection of esports, crypto markets, and regulatory environments.
