French esports organisation Karmine Corp (KC) has unveiled its latest partnership with gaming hardware brand Razer. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The announcement came directly through Karmine Corp’s own social media channels, shortly after unveiling its League of Legends lineup and coaching staff for the upcoming 2026 competitive season.
At the time of writing, there is no official statement regarding the scope of collaboration. However, Karmine Corp is often recognised for its strong engagement with the community through content creation and offline events, such as the KCX. Additionally, Razer’s logo has been placed on the LEC team’s jersey, as seen in the roster unveil.
Razer will now count on a formidable partner for its French market as it looks to further expand its presence in the space. Aside from KC, Razer works with several other esports organisations, including DRX, 100 Thieves, Alliance, Hanwha Life Esports, Movistar KOI, and Sentinels.
Additionally, Razer also backs legendary esports players such as League of Legends mid laner Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok, VALORANT player Jordan ‘Zellsis’ Montemurro and Counter-Strike’s Nikola ‘NiKo’ Kovač.
Karmine Corp finds a new hardware partner
KC has immediately found a new hardware partner after the end of the collaboration with Logitech G. The French team’s portfolio also includes telecom company Orange, tyre manufacturer Michelin, and energy drink Red Bull, among others.
Founded in 2020 by Twitch streamers Kamel ‘Kameto’ Kebir and Zouhair ‘Kotei’ Darji, Karmine Corp has formed notable rosters across VALORANT and Game Changers, League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics (TFT), Street Fighter and Rocket League.
The League of Legends team is set to compete in the upcoming kickoff tournament of the 2026 season, the LEC Versus, which begins on January 17. The French team will also field its academy roster, Karmine Corp Blue, which earned a spot in the competition following its win in the 2025 EMEA Masters Summer, as one of the two teams from the European Regional Leagues.
