Yesterday around 6 p.m., the end of the soap opera KC to LEC was a bit rushed… The rumor mills more or less spilled the beans, mysterious messages or announcements concerning Astralis and its future League of Legends roster. It was then that Kameto, the boss of Karmine Corp launched his live. Originally he was only supposed to commentate and play the Coupe de France, in a Bo5 against Misfits Premier. But faced with the growing concern of KC fans, Kamel did not remain insensitive and he decided to release them from one point by officially announcing that his team would not join the LEC in 2023. The moment was complicated and the streamer n did not hold back his tears in an emotionally charged sequence. But at least he kept his promise by keeping his community informed and being transparent. He comes out stronger. Kameto is really someone in esports.
After playing and losing the first game of the series, Kameto left his place as a player to Saken to resume a more familiar position as a commentator. Even if the context was complicated, he made a good figure, supported by faithful like Kotei, bibi and Nisqy. The smile quickly returned with a victory in the key and a qualification for the semi-final of the Coupe de France. Kameto then took a well-deserved break before turning his stream back on around midnight for a CS:GO night. But before the hostilities began, which notably took a little time to start because one of the merry men didn’t want to pay a server, the Karmine Corp boss took the time to chat with the cat to give some additional details about the failed deal with Astralis.
An arc that was particularly grueling
The ultras of the Karmine Corp. have lived in recent weeks hanging on the lips of the rumor mills, carefully scrutinizing all the messages. We imagine that it was tiring for them and that by dint of looking from right to left while hearing sometimes different bell sounds, some caught a stiff neck. But for Kameto, the episode was even more grueling! This summer, he did not take a vacation to remain operational on the LEC file: “you had to be there if ever something happened, every second could count”. No one can question his investment and he would have tried everything to find a viable solution. Even if the end of the soap opera is not the one hoped for, the streamer seems to have freed himself from a weight. By his own admission, he hasn’t been too happy streaming lately due to being in the dark and he “behaved like a robott”. Now that the stress and tension have subsided, he will be able to breathe and possibly take a vacation!
Going forward, he also promised to keep leaks to a minimum. There were too many leaks in the file. It’s unclear if this harmed the potential buyout by creating price inflation, but either way it created unnecessary drama on the networks. Kameto assured that the famous “clan war” within the Karmine Corp was greatly fantasized and that it “hated dirty laundry being washed in public“Obviously there were divergent opinions at times, but in the end”everyone agreed” at KC to refuse the deal. He will also soon give a conference a little more square, hand in hand with Prime. Kind of like they had it together for the Rekkles recruitment announcement.
The future of KC: building a dynasty over 30/40 years
Kameto wanted to reassure his fans, while thanking them for their support. The Karmine Corp has a soul and she kept it in full by refusing this deal to go to the LEC. The latter clearly did not seem advantageous and Kameto did not see himself accepting it hypocritically, just to show off in the window without having control over the transfer window and the sporting future of its structure. His goal is to make KC last over time and the streamer spoke of a “decade of 30/40 years, at least !”.
For the next year, “VCT announcements should come soon“. Valorant could take an even bigger place and we know that KC wants to shine on this stage. Kamel also indicated “that there would necessarily be new games, expected or not“. Finally, we must not sleep on the LFL. It is not in the DNA of the organization to participate in a competition without ambition and next year, the Karmine Corp intends to build a solid team in the league French. He concluded with wise words: “The LEC was the icing on the cake more than the cake itself“. Once this page turned, the “historic” K Corp (Ghali, Periods, Amor…) left to put their heads on CS:GO.
