The Rise of Karmine Corp in League of Legends
Karmine Corp, a French esports organization, has quickly gained a massive and passionate fanbase in League of Legends over the past three years. Now, they have joined the LEC ranks and are set to make their debut in 2024, which is expected to break records.
The organization was founded by popular streamer Kamel “Kameto” Kebir with the vision of creating an iconic esports organization. Since joining the LFL (French League of Legends Championship), Karmine Corp has gained momentum with strong fan engagement and exceptional performances on the stage.
The arrival of Karmine Corp is a welcome sight for the LEC, especially considering the recent drop in viewership due to changes in the league’s format. The team’s passionate fanbase, known as the Blue Wall, is expected to bring a significant boost to viewership.
During the EMEA Masters tournaments, Karmine Corp has consistently been the most viewed team, highlighting their impact on the European League ecosystem. When the team missed EMEA Masters during the Spring Split, the viewership dropped to around 108,000. But when they returned in the summer, the tournament saw a peak viewership of nearly 300,000.
Karmine Corp’s popularity is not limited to League of Legends. They have hosted events like KCORP vs. The World, where their teams competed in various esports titles. These events have attracted massive crowds and achieved high viewership numbers.
As Karmine Corp joins the LEC, they are likely to bring in a significant number of viewers both in-person and through online streaming. The team’s dedicated fanbase is loyal and supportive, which could contribute to increased viewership in 2024.
In terms of viewership, Karmine Corp’s massive fanbase puts them in a league of their own. Their viewership numbers rival other popular LEC teams like KOI, Fnatic, and G2 Esports. In fact, a match between Karmine Corp and any of these teams could potentially break regular season viewership records.
Karmine Corp’s addition to the LEC signifies a new chapter for the organization and presents a great opportunity for both the team and the league. Kameto and the Blue Wall are poised for further success, while the LEC has a chance to expand its reach across Europe.
