KCorp signed Newzera in May 2022, when the team joined VRL France. The team failed to make a mark nationally, barring two top-four finshes at the league and at Lyon e-Sport 2022. He was one of just two re-signees entering 2023, alongside Ryad "sh1n" Ensaad. Newzera has struggled to stand out in KCorp's partnered squad, only cracking 1.00 rating in one of the team's six matches played so far this year. In the last three months, the French player averaged a 0.79 rating.

Replacement ZE1SH has been away from the servers for over two years, after a two month-long stint playing for L'institut . He has since been dedicated to coaching activities, supporting Anubis Gaming and Team Vitality throughout 2021 and early 2022. ZE1SH has been KCorp's assistant coach since the team entered Valorant.

Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom has also revealed ZE1SH will be calling for the team going forward.

With one move, Karmine Corp are now:

• Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom
• Nabil "Nivera" Benrlitom
• Alexandre "xms" Forté
• Ryad "sh1n" Ensaad
• Ahmed "ZE1SH" El Sheikh
• Arthur "pm" Guillermet (Head coach)
