KCB Maynter: "Karmine Corp and Its Fans Changed My Life"
Explore expert insights and breaking news in League of Legends Esports, presented by Sheep Esports. After two years with Karmine Corp Blue, Volodymyr “Maynter” Sorokin, the pride of Ukraine, has finally achieved his long-term goal: winning his first EMEA Masters trophy for the French organization.
Reflecting on His Journey
As his time with the Blue Wall comes to a close, the toplaner shares his thoughts on his growth, deep connection to the team, and future prospects, including a possible promotion to the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC).
Volodymyr “Maynter” Sorokin on His Victory:
"It feels great, obviously. I'm really happy to end on a win after trying for two years. During my first year as a rookie, maybe I didn’t really understand what was going on—you know, like when you’re in school, you sort of get what’s going on, but not really at the same time. Last year, I knew my goals, I knew what to do, but every time I tried, something happened. We didn’t have a full roster, we played bad, we choked. Today, I knew it would be my last attempt. I wouldn’t get another shot if I were to lose today, at least not with KC. So I did my best, and I’m really happy that we won and that I could bring something to KC. My name won’t be the guy who lost two years in a row—it’ll be the guy who brought at least one trophy. KC gave so much to me, so I’m happy to at least give them something back with that extra LEC spot."
