Founded as Kameto Corp on 30 March 2020 by Twitch streamer duo Kamel "Kameto" Kebir and Zouhair "Kotei" Darji, the team took its current name when rapper and entrepreneur Amine "Prime" Mekri joined it as a founding member and joint owner on 16 November 2020. Under its new leadership, the organization underwent a major restructuring and purchased Nantes-based Team Oplon's Ligue française de League of Legends (or LFL) slot, thereby replacing it beginning with the 2021 season of France's top-level national league.
In 2023, Karmine Corp's League of Legends division was EMEA Masters titleholder. With their 2022 European Masters Spring Split victory, they became the first team to win it thrice, as well as the first team to win a hat-trick. Karmine Corp's Rocket League team won the WePlay Esports Invitational (EMEA region) in 2021. The group's Rocket League team also won the RLCS Fall and Winter EU Regional tournaments held in 2022 and 2023, as well as the RLCS Winter Split Major tournament in 2023. In October 18th, 2024, Kameto announced the team would be joining the LEC after acquiring stake in the slot owned by Danish esports organisation Astralis.
