In the past two years, the League of Legends<\/a> EMEA Championship (LEC) has experienced significant organizational changes, with esports teams affiliated with prominent streamers entering the league.<\/p>\n

Notably, Karmine Corp, co-owned by French streamers Kamel \u2018Kameto\u2019 Kebir and Zouhair \u2018Kotei\u2019 Darjimassive, and MAD Lions KOI, co-owned by Spanish streamer Ibai Llanos, are among these teams.<\/p>\n

Their first-ever matchup in the LEC<\/a> on January 15 became a historic moment, breaking viewership records for the league.<\/p>\n

The clash between these teams garnered immense attention, largely fuelled by the massive followings of their owners and their passionate nationalistic fanbases.<\/p>\n

Social media squabbles between the French and Spanish fanbases had already begun before the highly anticipated match.<\/p>\n

The viewership numbers for the match were staggering, reaching a peak of 741,450 viewers, setting a new record for the LEC regular season and surpassing the previous winter season record of 467,042.<\/p>\n
