This Saturday, May 23 at 3:30 PM and 9:30 PM ET, spawn with one of four Overwatch-inspired Exotic loadouts and show what legends are made of!
As France’s most decorated org, Team Vitality is hungry to revisit their World Championship glory from the RLCS 2022-23 season – this time in front of a home crowd.
The Paris Major roster features Gaspar “stizzy” Rosalen, a three-time European Regional Champion. As a finalist at both the Boston and Raleigh Majors, stizzy is notably the first non-French-speaking starter on the team since Kyle “Scrub Killa” Robertson in 2020. He brings a fresh playstyle following a breakout run with Dignitas last season.
stizzy joins Brice “ExoTiiK” Bigeard – who holds the longest active RLCS qualifying streak at 13 events – and the cornerstone of the roster, Alexis "zen" Bernier. For zen, it’s about paying it forward: former teammates Alpha54 and M0nkey M00n “passed things down to me that I can now pass on to players like stizzy, who is the youngest on the team.”
We’ve already seen flashes of what this trio can do. After stizzy signed, Vitality stormed to the Boston Grand Final, taking down NRG 4-1 and taking first in Group C ahead of Karmine Corp. Though they eventually fell 4-2 to Gentle Mates, their impressive run gave fans a glimpse of the team’s potential.
With the Paris Major hosted at the La Défense Arena, the team is practicing in their own backyard, training just 20 minutes away at the Stade de France. “Playing in front of our fans is going to be exceptional, especially in a big arena packed like that,” says ExoTiiK. stizzy is keeping his goals simple: “Winning in Paris would be insane for me. It's gonna be the best LAN ever.”
The bet on this new lineup nearly paid off in Boston. Now, against a field of challengers like KCorp and Gentle Mates, they have the chance to prove they have the winning formula.
“They are probably the best players in the world,” says Coach Alexandre “Extra” Paoli to describe his heavy-hitting roster: Axel “Vatira” Touret, Tristan “Atow.” Soyez, and Charles “juicy” Sabiani.
How does a squad this decorated stay so in sync? It comes down to raw chemistry, deep trust, and a relentless practice schedule. What really brings them together though is chasing the rush. juicy says the team loves “playing LANs or intense matches, trying to improve 24/7, and obviously winning.” Vatira backs that up, adding, “My favorite thing is the adrenaline when you win. That is what’s pushing me to keep playing.”
That hunger wasn’t affected by a major roster shift in September 2025 when Sami “dralii” Hajji moved to Team Falcons. A month later, juicy joined the fold after a 2024 Copenhagen Major victory. He joined a team whose passion for the game has already secured Karmine Corp two RLCS majors, an Esports World Cup title, and 12 regional titles. All together, the team has an impressive stats line: Atow has 13 RLCS event wins to his name, while Vatira is ahead of every player in the EU this season with 143 goals and 281 `12saves.
KC has checked almost every box in Rocket League, but the World Championship title is the one that’s still eluding them. They started the 2026 season with a statement, beating Spacestation 4-1 before sweeping Shopify Rebellion 4-0 in the Kick-Off Weekend Grand Final. That run didn't just prove they’re a winning combo – it earned Europe an extra slot at both Majors and Worlds.
Now, the focus shifts to Paris. “It would be insane and good to represent my country at home,” Vatira says about the prospect of playing for his local fans. While the season has its hurdles, Atow remains confident: “We can have bad moments,” but he’s “100% sure” the squad can “bounce back for Major or Worlds.”
As they prepare to face off against French rivals Team Vitality and Gentle Mates, KCorp is ready to lean on their legendary fanbase, called the Blue Wall. For juicy, the Paris Major is “the biggest tournament,” and winning it “would mean a lot, and in front of our fans as well.”
Catch Karmine Corp at the Paris Major on Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok starting May 20!
