The world of Rocket League is about to ignite with excitement as the 2026 Paris Major approaches, and one team, Karmine Corp, is poised to make a statement. With a roster that Coach Alexandre "Extra" Paoli describes as the "best players in the world," this squad is a force to be reckoned with.
What sets Karmine Corp apart is their unwavering dedication and the unique bond they share. The players, Axel "Vatira" Touret, Tristan "Atow" Soyez, and Charles "juicy" Sabiani, thrive on the adrenaline rush of intense matches and the relentless pursuit of improvement. As juicy puts it, they love the "playing LANs, trying to improve constantly, and, of course, winning." It's this passion that has driven them to achieve remarkable success, including two RLCS majors, an Esports World Cup title, and an impressive 12 regional titles.
The Chemistry of Champions
The team's chemistry is a fascinating aspect. Despite a major roster shift in 2025, when Sami "dralii" Hajji departed, and the addition of juicy after their Copenhagen Major victory, the squad's synergy remained intact. This speaks volumes about their deep trust and the raw chemistry that binds them together. Vatira's favorite moment, the adrenaline rush of victory, is a testament to their shared drive and determination.
A Quest for the Ultimate Prize
While Karmine Corp has ticked most boxes in Rocket League, the World Championship title remains elusive. Their impressive start to the 2026 season, with dominant wins over Spacestation and Shopify Rebellion, not only showcased their prowess but also secured an extra slot for Europe at both Majors and Worlds. Now, as they prepare for the Paris Major, the team is eager to represent their country on home soil, as Vatira expresses, "It would be insane and good to play for my local fans."
The Blue Wall Advantage
Karmine Corp's legendary fanbase, the Blue Wall, will undoubtedly be a significant advantage. As juicy mentions, the Paris Major is "the biggest tournament," and winning it "would mean a lot, especially in front of our fans." The team's confidence remains high, even amidst challenges, as Atow asserts, "We can have bad moments, but I'm 100% sure we can bounce back for Major or Worlds."
As we anticipate the Paris Major, it's clear that Karmine Corp is a team with a unique blend of talent, passion, and determination. Their journey is a testament to the power of teamwork and the pursuit of excellence. Personally, I think this squad has what it takes to make history, and I can't wait to see them in action. The stage is set, and the adrenaline is pumping - let the games begin!
