He added that telling the team's historic triple was preferable to a generic narrative but wondered if it overshadowed other teams, players, and hopes at the start of Worlds 2026. #LeagueOfLegends #Worlds2026 #Faker (translated)

Nicolas Perez denounced the patch change announced at 11:50 PM, while his team was to play a quarter-final 36 hours later. He indicated that the competition would switch from patch 20.18 to 20.20 and attributed this change to poor patch planning management by Riot and EMEA. According to him, the Demacia Cup was also affected. Perez specified that patch 20.20, the one for Worlds, included many changes, including a significant buff for Aphelios and Draven, two champions played by an opponent of his team. He estimated that his team would have only one practice on this patch, whereas teams like Galio would have none before their quarter-final, scheduled for the next day. He characterized the situation as particularly serious for the most important competition of the year for his team. #LeagueOfLegends #RiotGames #Esports (translated)

KCenter summarized Kammeto's stream on the situation of Karmine Corp. According to his summary, the "MasterMove" seemed to have paid off: the club was financially stable and had no more money problems. Kammeto reportedly indicated that the VCT partnership was well underway and that the club was waiting for a response from Riot Games before making a decision about the GC roster. He also confirmed delays in salaries for the Rocket League team, which have since been resolved. Karmine Corp did not plan, for the time being, to leave Rocket League, but was exploring its options on the market. A year-long pause had been mentioned due to the lack of clarity regarding the holding of Worlds in 2027. An entry into new games had also been considered. The club was set to move into new premises in Paris and/or Berlin, with no final decision made. Kammeto specified that players could not join M8 before the end of their contract without a buyout payment, adding that he regretted having acted this way in the past. According to KCenter, Kammeto and Neo, the CEO of Vitality, called each other after the RL Worlds to agree on player buyouts. Gentle Mates had not initially sought to recruit the trio Vatira-Atow-Zen and was not part of the buyout agreement between Karmine Corp and Vitality. Finally, Karmine Corp's first offer was €23,000 per month per player, salary only, compared to €28,000 per month at Gentle Mates, nearly 22% more. KCenter added that the players were willing to choose Karmine Corp despite the lower salary, due to their history with the club. #KarmineCorp #RocketLeague #Esports (translated)

Jérôme Coupez stated that he spoke up due to false information and its consequences. He indicated that threats against players, their families, or teams were taken seriously and reported to the relevant authorities, and that he wished to avoid escalation and protect the players. He claimed that his team had not sought to leak the situation and wanted to resolve it privately. According to him, no negotiations or agreements with other teams had taken place before the end of the Worlds, out of respect for the players, teams, and ongoing contracts. He also clarified that his team did not receive commissions on transfers or buyout clauses. Regarding image rights, Coupez explained that players could have individual sponsors, provided they did not use their team's visual identity. They could also participate in collective activations with their team's partners. He added that teams retained certain categories of sponsors and that his team worked with them to coordinate partnerships. He specified that his team did not own the players' rights but helped them find sponsors. Finally, Coupez asserted that he had the elements to support these statements and indicated that he would communicate further if necessary in due course. #Transparence #Esports #ProtectionDesJoueurs (translated)
