In recent years, European League of Legends fans have eagerly anticipated the possibility of Riot Games adding a beloved regional favorite to the League of Legends EMEA Championship (EMEA)—and that wait could soon be coming to an end.
The renowned French esports organization Karmine Corp is reportedly in the final stages of joining the League of Legends EMEA Championship, as indicated by esports journalist Brieuc Seeger on Saturday, Oct. 14. The team is said to be targeting the purchase of Astralis’ existing franchised slot and has no intentions of merging with other organizations.
While there has been no official confirmation from either party, a recent social media post from Kamel “Kameto” Kebir, co-owner of Karmine Corp, has sparked optimism among the Blue Wall’s members as they look ahead to 2024. The tweet features a single image from a manga, with a character declaring, ‘A man’s dream will never die!’
Fans who are acquainted with the team are well aware of Kameto’s unwavering passion in his endeavor to see Karmine Corp in the League of Legends EMEA Championship. In 2022, when the team faced rejection from the league, the 28-year-old couldn’t contain his emotions as he spoke to the fanbase during his stream. However, there is now a glimmer of hope for one of esports’ most prominent names.
Karmine Corp has emerged as one of the fastest-growing sensations in the League of Legends EMEA Championship, boasting an impressive record of two LFL championships and four EMEA Masters tournament victories. Notably, they have cultivated one of the largest and most fervent fanbases in the realm of esports, consistently drawing thousands of supporters to live events.
Over the past three years, they have consistently assembled formidable teams, featuring star talents like top laner Lucas ‘Cabochard’ Simon-Meslet, Team BDS top laner Adam Maanane, former G2 support Raphaël ‘Targamas’ Crabbé, and the iconic LEC AD carry Martin ‘Rekkles‘ Larsson.
