After a 2025
VALORANT season defined by victory,
Karmine Corp GC opted to re-sign the roster in its entirety. During the
KC livestream announcement, Kamel “Kameto” Kebir confirmed that Anastasiya "
Glance" Anisimova, Safia "
safiaa" Leghzal, Şura "
Jiex" Yıldırım, Anastasia "
anesilia" Ivanova, and Azra "
Alkyia" Erin would all remain with the team, while Dzmitry "
SmartSeven" Smartselau retains the keys to the project, under a clearly stated objective: winning the VCT Game Changers Championship.
The outcome is unequivocal: 2025 now stands as a landmark year for Karmine Corp GC. Already crowned during the first split, KC’s queens repeated the feat in Stage 2 after a breathless final against GIANTX GC. Trailing in the series, they swung the momentum back in their favour to secure a 3–2 victory and complete a decisive back-to-back in Game Changers EMEA, an emblematic run that firmly established Karmine Corp as the region’s reference point over the year.
Powered by that double triumph, the French side went on to earn its first qualification for the VALORANT Game Changers Championship. In 2025, KC finally arrived on the world stage, carrying EMEA’s headline status and the label of a team to watch. The message was straightforward: this roster had not merely dominated its region, it now intended to test itself internationally, and to learn quickly, under the brightest lights.
In Seoul, the campaign underlined that potential while also illustrating the unforgiving nature of the international level. Karmine Corp fell just short of the final four,
eliminated by KRÜ Blaze in the lower bracket, yet delivered a run solid enough for this first Worlds appearance to feel like a foundational step. More importantly, the sequel is already taking shape: KC are doubling down on continuity for next season, keeping their core under the blue banner. The 2026 objective is clear: return more complete and translate the lessons of this first global outing into a credible challenge for the world title.
