KC's Canna: "Our form is even better in practice; we can beat anyone"
Karmine Corp top laner Canna discusses the team's form and the strength of Galio following their victory over CFO at Worlds 2026.
Karmine Corp (KC) kept their hopes alive for the Worlds 2026 quarterfinals after defeating CFO 2-0 in their Swiss Stage matchup. While Game 1 was a dominant performance, Game 2 turned into a chaotic struggle. Following the win, KC top laner Canna spoke about the team's current form, the rise of Galio, and the possibility of a return to the LCK.
The victory over CFO brings KC to a 2-2 record. With only one match remaining to decide a spot in the quarterfinals, the stakes are absolute: a win secures advancement, while a loss results in immediate elimination. Canna noted that while the overall flow was positive, an early mistake in Game 2 turned the second map into a difficult fight.
The Galio Factor
Galio has been a standout performer at Worlds, maintaining a six-game winning streak. Canna, who utilized the champion in the top lane today, explained his reasoning. According to Canna, Galio is a strong pick in specific matchups, particularly against Rumble. While Rumble remains capable of winning the duel, Galio is considered easier to play, contributing to his high win rate and significant ban rate.
While the meta often revolves around champions like Yone, the focus for KC has been on execution. Canna emphasized that the team's form in practice has been even better than their recent performances. He noted that the team balance is in a good state and that their two previous losses were matches they could have won. If they can execute better in teamfights, Canna believes they can compete with anyone.
Prospects and the LCK
Regarding a potential return to the LCK, Canna expressed cautious interest. Acknowledging the LCK as the strongest region, he stated he would consider the opportunity if it arose, though he noted that mandatory military service remains a significant realistic obstacle.
Canna concluded by stating that the team is focused on making great memories and going as far as possible in the tournament as they prepare for their next match.
