CS analyst and commentator Pimp tells his story in the new documentary series Away From Keyboard

dralii and Karmine Corp are the second most-picked player and the most-picked team on BLAST's Fantasy ahead of the RLCS 2025 World Championship for good reason.

The Moroccan superstar is a defending World Champion, and KC is the clear favorite team to win Rocket League's biggest tournament.

With the notorious Blue Wall in full force here in Lyon, the stage is set for dralii to add another Worlds title to his resume.

"...since I've already won, I can easily do it twice."

You’re a defending World Champion and coming in as the #1 seed. Does that add any pressure for you?

No, it doesn't add any pressure for me. On the contrary, I feel like since I've already won, I can easily do it twice.

So yeah, it even helps alleviate the pressure in my case.

The Blue Wall is an incredible fanbase to have supporting you. Will their presence here in Lyon make a difference for you and your teammates?

Yeah, it'll make a difference for us because we've been waiting for a LAN in France for a very long time, and now that we have a LAN in France and we know that there's gonna be an insane amount of supporters, it's gonna be new and really fun.

We know we're gonna have a lot of fun and the supporters are also gonna be very helpful. So yeah, it helps us a lot mentally.

Do the French fanbases (ie: the Blue Wall, the Green Suits, the Golden Hornets) get along, or is there a sense of competition there?

There is definitely a sense of competition. They don't really get along. For example, on Twitter I always see them fighting with each other. Yeah, it's a fun rivalry.

Do you have a main rival at this LAN? Is there a specific player or team you want to outperform?

Honestly, not really. I don't have any rivalries with any players, but we have a team.

A team that's been very good lately is Falcons, so I'd like to beat them. We all would.

After the results of the Raleigh Major and especially EWC, how would you personally rank the RLCS regions heading into Worlds?

So I think the best region in the world, as usual, is Europe.

Then the second best one would be... I think, I'd say MENA because they have Falcons and also Twisted Minds. I'd say overall NA has a lot of good teams, but none of their teams are as good as Falcons.

So I'd say MENA, and then NA, and 4th I'd probably say... I'd like to put South America 4th place. They have good teams.

In 5th place, I'd put OCE, Oceania. And 6th place, [Sub-Saharan] Africa.

Who do you predict will be in the Grand Final?
