Karmine Corp wins RLCS Paris Major as Vatira GOAT debate heats up

Karmine Corp has won the RLCS 2026 Paris Major, and the home-crowd energy must have been powerful enough to register on seismographs. The team beat Twisted Minds in the grand final, while Axel “Vatira” Touret secured tournament MVP and a record fourth Major win in Rocket League’s open era.

That matters because Rocket League’s GOAT debate is now officially getting spicy enough to need protective gloves. Vatira has the Major wins, the consistency and the aura, but the missing piece remains a World Championship.

Until that happens, the old guard and the statistically stubborn will keep an asterisk taped to the conversation. Still, beating a major rival on a French stage is exactly the kind of narrative fuel esports loves. Twisted Minds had a strong lower-bracket run, but Karmine Corp looked like the team built for the biggest moments. The next question is simple: can Vatira carry this form to Worlds?
