LFL Summer 2022 is the highest level of the French ERL league. In this league, the best teams in France fight for the right to play in the European Masters (EU Masters) Summer 2022 and participate in the regional final. This split takes place from June 1 to July 28.  

The Misfits Premier journey in this split didn't start too well. The guys lost to GameWard in their opening match, and at the end of the first week, they crashed out on Team GO, going 0-2. The second week started with a more devastating defeat from VitalityBee, but at the end of the week, the guys improved and beat Mirage Elyandra, 1-3. Week 3 began with another loss. This time, Solary took important points from Misfits Premier, and at the end of the week, LDLC OL gave the guys the losing streak, sending Misfits Premier to 1-5 at the end of three weeks. Misfits Premier faced off this super week against Karmine Corp, Team BDS Academy, and Team Oplon. In the match against Karmine Corp, Zanzarah snatched the victory, ending a two-loss losing streak. The second day was also a great day. Having beaten Team BDS Academy, the guys got back in the playoffs race, and in the third game, Misfits Premier had no problem finishing it off, climbing from 1-5 to 4-5. In week five, the guys lost to GameWard, but beat Team GO, 5-6. In week six, the Misfits Premier defeated VitalityBee and Mirage Elyandra. Week 7 continued their winning streak by beating Solary, but losses, against LDLC OL and Team BDS Academy sent Misfits Premier to an 8-8 score, which does not yet ensure a playoff appearance. The managers took a jungler from the main roster for the last game week. The Misfits Premier's first opponent in week nine will be Karmine Corp, whom they should beat to secure a playoff spot.

Misfits Premier (formerly Misfits Academy) is a Misfits Gaming academic team participating in the French League. Since the lineup began competing in the LFL, the organization never trailed below third place until 2022.

The 2022 spring split was the organization's worst ever. The guys finished 4th overall, 11-7, but lost 3-0 on the maps to VitalityBee in the first round of the playoff stage, thus finishing 5th in the spring split. Before the summer, the organization decided to replace two players.

Karmine Corp's summer split began with a solid win over Team Oplon, but at the end of the week, the guys lost to GameWard. Karmine Corp improved and confidently defeated Team GO and Team BDS Academy in the second week. The third week started with a hard-fought win over Mirage Elyandra. At the end of the week, Karmine Corp easily beat Solary, making the score 5-1 after three weeks. This super week, Karmine Corp faced Misfits Premier, VitalityBee, and LDLC OL. Misfits Premier sensationally defeated Karmine Corp, knocking the guys' attitude for the next two days. After beating VitalityBee, Karmine Corp took third place in the overall standings but could have fought for second place, but a loss to LDLC OL left Karmine Corp in third place. In week five, the guys sensationally lost to Team Oplon and gave up the victory to GameWard. Week six began with a win against Team GO, but at the end of the week, Team BDS Academy blew away the guys' mood by confidently beating them. Week 7 opened with a win over Mirage Elyandra but then lost to Solary and VitalityBee, 8-8, which still doesn't guarantee a playoff spot. The first opponent in Week 9 will be Misfits Premier, who also need a win to make the playoffs.

Karmine Corp (formerly known as Kameto Corp), sometimes abbreviated as KCorp, is a French organization currently playing in the LFL. Known initially as KametoCorp, the organization is a cybersports project led by popular French streamer Kameto. In May 2020, KametoCorp announced their entry into League of Legends with a slot and Unfazed Esport players in DIV2, the second division of the LFL. The team quickly gained many fans and a large community thanks to the popularity of Kameto, who broadcasts the team's matches on his weekly channel. Despite an excellent first split resulting in third place and 12-6 overall, the goal of promotion to the LFL was not met, and it was announced that the players' contracts would not be renewed for the following year. KametoCorp later announced that Prime is joining the project as co-owner, including rebranding to Karmine Corp. Their League of Legends roster would be upgraded to LFL 2021 Spring next year, restoring the Team Oplon slot due to the inability to play in the LFL. KCorp decides to build their new team around their old top-tier player. Karmine Corp's debut season in the LFL shined. The organization placed first in the spring split and second in the summer split and finals. But that's not the most important thing. Karmine Corp won the spring and summer rounds of the EU Masters in 2021.

The 2022 spring split started as well as the previous ones. After finishing in second place, 12-6, Karmine Corp made the playoffs, where they did not perform well but still made it to the EU Masters. They got there first in both the play-in and group stages, losing only 1 match out of 12. Karmine Corp did not have any difficulties in the playoff stage, but they took their third EU Masters title in a row. The organization did not make any substitutions for the summer split.

For the match, we will take Karmine Corp to win, total frags over (25.5), and the duration of the map under 33 minutes.
