Karmine Corp Signs Two Rookies for the 2024 VALORANT Champions Tour
Karmine Corp, a professional esports organization, is gearing up for the 2024 season of the VALORANT Champions Tour. After a challenging 2023 season, the team has made significant changes, including bringing in two rookies to join their roster. This move is particularly notable because one of the rookies is the first North American import to the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region.
The New Recruits
According to a report from blix.gg, Karmine Corp has reached a verbal agreement with Marshall “N4RRATE” Massey from the United States and Tomás “tomaszy” Machado from Portugal. Both players have shown great potential in the tier-two scene of their respective regions. While Karmine Corp still needs an in-game leader (IGL), the addition of these skilled players from different backgrounds could bring future success to the team.
The Skills and Potential
N4RRATE is known for his exceptional performance as a Jett and Raze player, while tomaszy specializes in Neon but can also play other duelists like Reyna. This versatility gives Karmine Corp flexibility in adapting to the evolving metagame of VALORANT. Notably, the team did not use double duelists during the 2023 season, so these new recruits bring a fresh dynamic to the organization.
Promising Statistics
Both N4RRATE and tomaszy have demonstrated their skills through impressive statistics. Despite being part of a losing team, N4RRATE ranked eighth in match rating during the Challengers season and topped the charts in average combat score, average damage per round, and kills per round, according to vlr.gg. Tomaszy, on the other hand, excelled in the Portuguese tier-two scene, leading in various stats like ACS, damage per round, and kills per round. Although his team, SAW, couldn’t secure a victory in Ascension, his individual performance caught the attention of Karmine Corp.
Going into the 2024 season, Karmine Corp has the potential to make a significant impact with these talented rookies. While the team’s final lineup is yet to be confirmed, the addition of N4RRATE and tomaszy brings a formidable combination of fragging power and leadership. This is a much-needed boost for a team that aims to bounce back from a disappointing debut season in franchising.
