I can certify that Karmine Corp failed franchising.
At the start of the franchising league they won against FPX (Which was a fairly weak team at the time) and immediately lost to LOUD in a pretty close 2:0 series at LOCK//IN.
I still remember when Sideshow thought that they could make EMEA playoffs and even Tokyo because how obvious their flaws are. (You knew what happened next. Key word: Boiled egg, TIME? TIME? YOU FOCKING MELONS)
After a remake of the roster and with some of the most talented players in the world they did managed to win Kickoff (But everyone was trolling at the start of the year especially EMEA).
After kickoff they got no achievement and theyve been trolling ever since.
