Following a whirlwind of changes, it appears that Martin "Yike" Sundelin may have found his next destination.

According to a recent report from Sheep Esports' Marian "Eros" Stoica, the former G2 jungler is set to join Karmine Corp, a team that has had a long-standing ambition to establish itself as a top contender in the LEC.

The move would see Yike quickly finding a new home in the wake of his recent departure from G2 Esports, where he spent two successful years dominating the domestic scene.

The addition of Yike would be a significant step forward for Karmine Corp, who are looking to make waves in the LEC after a mixed 2024 season.

Known for their passionate fanbase and track record in the European Regional Leagues, Karmine Corp have been looking to bolster their roster with top-tier talent as they aim to climb the ranks of the LEC. With Yike reportedly in the fold, Karmine Corp would be securing one of the league's top jungle prospects on their quest for success.

The Swedish player, who earned Rookie of the Year honors in 2023, showcased his potential by helping G2 secure a staggering 7 out of 8 LEC titles since his addition to the team. In 2024, Yike played an important role in G2's unprecedented European domination, as the team swept the LEC by winning every possible trophy throughout the year.

Yike has demonstrated an evolving ability to adapt to different styles and metas, constantly performing at a top level. His arrival would signal a statement of intent from Karmine Corp, as they seek to establish themselves as a serious contender in the upper echelon of European League of Legends.

Karmine Corp aim for the title

Securing Yike would be an important step for Karmine Corp in their quest to break into the LEC’s top tier. With the jungler's pedigree and recent form, the organization is betting on his ability to elevate the team to new heights.

With Yike as the final piece of the puzzle, Karmine Corp's roster for 2025 is expected to look as follows:

The LEC offseason is just starting to heat up, and Karmine Corp and Yike could be setting themselves up for a season to remember. All eyes will be on the Swedish jungler as he embarks on this new chapter, with hopes of helping his new team climb the ranks and prove themselves in the ever-competitive LEC.
