After a disappointing LEC debut, Karmine Corp’s League of Legends division has missed the 2024 Winter Split playoffs. As a result, changes are already being made to the team, including the sudden departure of head coach Jakob “YamatoCannon” Mebdi.
In a new video, YamatoCannon addressed the situation with his fans, sharing his belief he should have been given a bit more time to work and grow with the roster, both on the Summoner’s Rift and in their daily lives. The 28-year-old veteran was removed from the coaching staff after Karmine Corp ended its regular season run with only two wins, much to the chagrin of the general LEC fanbase. He confessed there was no real “writing on the wall” when it came to his removal, and that he was surprised by the decision when he was finally spoken to by management.
