A Milestone Celebration for Karmine Corp

Karmine Corp is gearing up for one of its biggest events yet. The French esports powerhouse has announced KCX 5, a two-day celebration marking its fifth anniversary, set to take place on December 19 and 20, 2025, at the Adidas Arena in Paris.

Following the massive success of KCX 4, which drew nearly 30,000 fans to the La Défense Arena and 174,000 peak online viewers, this new edition continues the organisation’s tradition of combining high-level competition with community-driven spectacle.

Two Nights of Esports and Celebration

This year’s KCX will be split across two themed nights, each spotlighting different aspects of Karmine Corp’s journey and future.

  • Friday, December 19: The opening night will be all about celebrating the organisation’s legacy. Fans will get the chance to relive unforgettable moments alongside legendary players from Karmine Corp’s League of Legends and VALORANT rosters. The festivities will begin at 5:30 p.m. local time and are set to honour five years of Karmine Corp’s rise from grassroots beginnings to international recognition.

 

  • Saturday, December 20: The focus then shifts to the 2026 season. Starting from 4:30 p.m., the evening will feature a best-of-five League of Legends show match, unveiling Karmine Corp’s new rosters for the upcoming competitive year. This night acts as both a symbolic handoff to the next chapter and a bold showcase of what’s to come.

While the Rocket League squad won’t be attending due to overlapping tournament commitments, the event will remain centred on Karmine Corp’s two flagship titles, League of Legends and VALORANT.

Inside the Adidas Arena

Set within the 8,500-seat Adidas Arena, KCX 5 is shaping up to be another major spectacle in the European esports calendar. The venue is a familiar name for esports fans, as it’s also scheduled to host the Rainbow Six Siege Six Invitational 2026 early next year.

Tickets for KCX 5 start at €45, with sales opening from Friday, October 24 at 12 p.m. (CET) through the venue’s official website. Given the scale of the fanbase and past sell-outs, seats are expected to move quickly.

Looking Back and Moving Forward

Founded in 2020, Karmine Corp has grown into one of Europe’s largest and most influential esports organisations. The team’s success spans multiple titles, including League of Legends, VALORANT, and Rocket League.

In 2025 alone, the organisation clinched the LEC Winter Split with a commanding 3–0 win over G2 Esports and placed second at the First Stand 2025 international event. Their Rocket League roster also made waves, capturing trophies at both the RLCS Birmingham Major and the Esports World Cup, solidifying Karmine Corp as a top-tier European contender.

KCX’s Continued Growth

What began as a fan gathering has evolved into one of esports’ most ambitious live events. KCX has become synonymous with massive crowds, creative showmatches, and emotional fan moments, blurring the line between competition and celebration.

KCX 4 hit a 174,136-viewer peak, and expectations for KCX 5 are even higher as fans anticipate new rosters, returning stars, and possible surprise announcements.

For both fans attending in person and those tuning in online, KCX 5 is set to be a defining chapter in Karmine Corp’s ever-growing legacy, a moment where the past and future of the blue wall meet under one roof.
