Karmine Corp stay in Rocket League, M0nkey M00n rumored to lead the rebuild

Karmine Corp will stay in Rocket League. Co-founder Kamel "Kameto" Kebir said so on stream on October 22, in a clip shared on X by the fan account KC Updates: "It's official, we're staying in Rocket League."

KC UPDATES @KarmineUpdatesKamel sur la situation RL : " Il y a des vrais bonhommes, il y a des mecs qui ont fait des concessions, surtout en ce qui concerne l'oseille... juste pour l'amour du projet, pour l'amour du maillot... C'est officiel, on reste sur Rocket League "Oct 22, 2026View on X

In the same clip, Kameto paid tribute to "real men", players who "made concessions, especially when it comes to money... just for the love of the project, for the love of the jersey". Karmine Corp has not published an announcement on its own accounts.

KC's recent record: the team won the Birmingham Major in March 2025, beating The Ultimates 4-0 in the Grand Final, then the 2025 Esports World Cup, 4-1 against Geekay Esports. In 2026, KC won the Paris Major in May, 4-1 against Twisted Minds in the Grand Final, and reached the semi-finals of the Boston Major, losing 4-2 to NRG Esports. At both the 2025 and 2026 World Championships, KC went out in the semi-finals, beaten 4-2 by Team Falcons each time.

The club's future in the game had been uncertain since the zen, Vatira and Atow. saga, which sarpbc covered on October 7. The RLCS Club Championship opens with the Club Kick-Off in London from December 9 to 13, where 20 invited teams will be joined by the four Kick-Off Open winners.

Rumor: Sheep Esports (reporter @i_Eros_) reported on October 22 that KC, invited to the Club Championship partner program, would rebuild around M0nkey M00n, alongside bibbaba and reyyn. Major reported the same trio that evening. Neither Karmine Corp nor the players have confirmed. A heart posted that night by the official Rocket League Esports account for KC is not an announcement.
