France’s Karmine Corp stands out as the most popular team in Rocket League. Its owner, Kamel “” Kebir, a well-known Twitch streamer, has played a significant role in the organization’s rise. The enthusiasm from Saudi Arabian organizations reaching the last four also invigorated the match atmosphere, enhancing viewership further.
Viewership statistics revealed a remarkable 180% increase in French viewership since last year, showcasing Karmine Corp’s strong performance and appeal. In contrast, Arabic audiences showed a consistent 165% increase in watch time, driven by support for Geekay Esports.
Team Falcons, another prominent competitor, finished third in this year’s tournament, enough to maintain their lead in the Club Championship standings. Karmine Corp’s victory not only marked their first championship win at this event but also secured France’s dominance in this esports category.
As the Esports World Cup 2025 progresses to its final week, Karmine Corp’s journey serves as a highlight amid fierce competition. The stakes remain high as they compete in additional tournaments, including a final showdown for the Club Championship trophy.
