Sources - VALORANT : Elite set to join Karmine Corp in VCT EMEA

Karmine Corp move close to their final form for the next season of VCT EMEA. According to sources close to Sheep Esports, Efe “Elite” Teber has reached a verbal agreement with the Blue Wall. The 19-year-old Turk played for BBL Esports last year, already in the VCT EMEA. BBL and other VCT teams had interest in Elite. He finally decided to verbally agree with Karmine Corp.

In his first season in VALORANT's Tier 1, Elite didn't come close to a title. BBL indeed failed to win a single match at the EMEA Kick-Off tournament, and then missed out on playoffs qualification for the season's two Stages. The Killjoy and Cyper player has therefore yet to play in an international tournament in his young career. At KC, he will played with flex-player Hazem “avez” Khaled, as previously reported by Sheep Esports.

The duo will take on Tomás “tomaszy” Machado and Ryad “Shin” Ensaad. Karmine Corp have also changed their in-game leader this offseason. Martin “Magnum” Peňkov will be replaced by Matias “Saadhak” Delipetro, as previously reported by Sheep Esports. Finally, KC have recruited Dmitrii “SUYGETSU” Iliushin, as also reported earlier this Saturday by Sheep Esports.

It's been a year of two halves for Karmine Corp: after winning the EMEA Kick-Off to everyone's surprise at the start of the year, the French club struggled during both Stages of the season. Qualified for the playoffs in both Stages, the structure failed to win a single match. As a result, they did not take part in the year's international events, the Masters: Shanghai and the Champions.
