Sources: Shin has reached a verbal agreement with Karmine Corp VALORANT

Ryad "Shin" Ensaad has reached a verbal agreement with Karmine Corp to compete in the VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) in 2024. The player is reportedly set to renew agreements with the French organization and complete its roster heading into 2024. Shin will be the last addition to the roster, as the other 4 members have already been confirmed.

Shin will be the only starting player from Karmine Corp to continue on the team's VCT roster. He will also be joined by ZE1SH, KCorp's only remaining coaching staff member who had to replace Alexis "Newzera" Humbert in the VCT EMEA League after the player stepped down during the 2023 season. In 2024, ZE1SH will be returning to his previous duties of assistant coach. Together, they will represent the only members left from Karmine Corp's 2023 run in the league.

The French organization finished 10th in VCT 2023: EMEA League before ending in 4th place of the VCT 2023: EMEA Last Chance Qualifier where they lost 1 - 2 against Natus Vincere who eventually qualified for that year's Champions tournament. With these changes, KCorp is now aiming to improve its results with these changes.

A few days ago, Karmine Corp also announced that it was entering the League of Legends European Championship (LEC) by buying out Astralis' spot in the league. With this acquisition, Kameto's organization will now compete in the two biggest franchised leagues of Riot Games.
