Karmine Corp Receives Congratulatory Message from French President after European Masters Win
After winning the European Masters 2021 Spring title, Karmine Corp received a direct message from French President Emmanuel Macron. The president, while admitting that he doesn’t know much about League of Legends, wanted to congratulate the team for honoring the French flag in the scene.
Karmine Corp’s Victory and Redemption in the Grand Finals
In a thrilling showdown against the NLC’s BT Excel, the grand finals of the European Masters were predicted to be one-sided. However, BT Excel put up a tough fight, winning the first game despite facing a 10,000 gold deficit. This forced Karmine Corp to change their strategy and play a more controlled style in the following games. All of their players stepped up, leading to a well-deserved victory and their third EU Masters title.
The Significance of the European Masters
The European Masters is the concluding tournament of the second-tier League scene in Europe. It brings together the top 28 European teams for a chance to win the title and a share of the €150,000 prize pool. The final match of this year’s tournament reached a peak of 377,000 viewers across various streams, with the French broadcast leading the way.
High-Profile Politicians’ Engagement in Esports
President Macron’s message to Karmine Corp is not the first time a prominent European politician has shown interest in esports. In 2017, the president of Taiwan met with Flash Wolves after their dominant victory at the IEM Season 11 World Championship. Similarly, the Prime Minister of Denmark gave a speech at a CS:GO tournament in 2018 before a match between Astralis and FaZe Clan. He also visited Astralis’ HQ in 2019 to play CS:GO with the Danish team.
