EnVyUs promote hAdji to first team as SIXER is benched

6-2-2018 22:31

EnVyUs have promoted Ali "hAdji" Haïnouss from their academy team to replace Christophe "SIXER" Xia, the US-based organisation have announced.

Christophe "⁠SIXER⁠" Xia has been moved to the bench after failing to impress during his 15-month tenure with the team, whom he had joined in late 2016 to replace Timothée "⁠DEVIL⁠" Démolon.

One of France's most experienced players, the 26-year-old averaged a 0.96 rating on LAN with Envy, and was constantly the subject of criticism from fans.

His replacement, Ali "⁠hAdji⁠" Haïnouss, was part of the Platinium eSport roster that reached the semi-finals at ESWC 2016. In April 2017, he joined EnVyUs Academy, whom he would help to win the Gfinity Elite Series UK Season 2.

hAdji joins EnVyUs' main squad

The 22-year-old, who played for Envy in the online qualifier for StarSeries i-League Season 4, becomes the second addition to the French team in less than a week, after Fabien "⁠kioShiMa⁠" Fiey was brought in from FaZe to replace Alexandre "⁠xms⁠" Forté.

According to Flickshot.fr, Envy will use the AWP less frequently following the removal of SIXER, with Vincent "⁠Happy⁠" Schopenhauer set to pick up the 'Big Green' going forward, but only occasionally and mostly on the CT side.

Envy are now:

Vincent "⁠Happy⁠" Schopenhauer
Cédric "⁠RpK⁠" Guipouy
Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom
Fabien "⁠kioShiMa⁠" Fiey
Ali "⁠hAdji⁠" Haïnouss

Damien "⁠maLeK⁠" Marcel (coach)
Alexandre "⁠xms⁠" Forté (substitute)
Christophe "⁠SIXER⁠" Xia (substitute)

Effective today, we are promoting @hAdjiCSGO to the Envy CS:GO starting lineup from the Envy Academy roster. @nV_SIXER_ will move to a substitute role. The starting lineup for #EnvyCS will be: @nV_HappyV, @nV_ScreaM_, @kiocsgoo, @nV_RpK_, & @hAdjiCSGO. pic.twitter.com/WZDzoEbd01

2018-02-07 15:56

WHY NOT ZYWOO? He could easily this envyusto tier 2 team

2018-02-07 06:48

Not sure where did I read it, but zywoo stated that he wants to finish school firstly.

2018-02-07 07:28

Rejecting couple of thousands euro salary+clips when he is prefiring wall next to walking enemy = he is cheater 75%

Yep he said it while streaming.

2018-02-06 22:35

Zywoo turned down their offer to finish school. Though he did reject the offer of them waiting until he finished school so you might be right although his smaller LAN showing are still great.

sixer kicked 14 months too late :((((

2018-02-06 22:47

He isn't that bad tbh he just isn't someone who should primary awp. If he got an entry fragger role i bet he wouldve been better.

2018-02-06 22:55

2018-02-06 23:59

Exactly. Before the French shuffle, he was playing well as secondary AWP/anchor on CT while KennyS was primary. It was nothing insane but he got the job done most of the time.

2018-02-07 00:07

Entry fragger in the sense of just something for the opponent to shoot at whilst scream and rpk come in second and actually kill them?

2018-02-07 01:32

*scream and rpk come in and actually

2018-02-07 02:53

Actually SIXER did great with KennyS as a secondary AWPer and I dont quite know his role at that time I do believe he was an entry fragger and was usually doing quite well statistic wise. Even now he still has some good AWP plays and clutches here and there.

2018-02-07 17:25

He can still change his mind... They might just say that he denied....

2018-02-06 23:02

OMG FINALLY

we did it bois

2018-02-06 23:14

Until zywoo can play

Ex6 please

ex6 just got kicked from ldlc hopefully we can see a -happy soon and +ex6

2018-02-06 22:42

Nah, Ex6, devoduvek, amanek, xms, and ZywOo

TIME TO CHANGE NAME I GUESS!

2018-02-07 16:33

No he was actually kicked

2018-02-07 05:32

Yeah and hadji was tier 5 as well and 2 weeks ago I saw torqued get invited to summit so I guess anything is possible lol.

2018-02-06 22:45

13 replies

theres a difference when a 'new' player is on a t5 and brought in because of his skill. Many claim ex6 is a god igl and a lost gem in the french scene, that was 2013. ex6 has been irrelevant and t5 since the end of verygames

2018-02-06 22:51

I was making a joke saying how the possibility is there sorry if it went over your head.

2018-02-06 22:52

also cs summit is a t5 event, also do you not think torqued was added as a team to promote Swags storyline due to him attending last year with c9?

I was making a joke and also the swag story line is probably not the main reason they were invited. The main one is most likely the relationship between the players (steel and swag) and summit. Also summit isn't a t5 all the teams are T1. "I bet the only teams you consider t1 are current top10 teams, if that. Sorry that you are braindead my friend." - notCrank

lol you consider summit a t1 event, how braindead can you be? Attending teams is only one portion that make up events. look at the 'venue' , look at the prize pool. look at the casters/analysts. Its ok, I remember when I was new to cs awsell.

2018-02-06 23:05

lol you consider summit a t5 event, how braindead can you be? Attending teams is only a large portion that make up events. look at the stream, look at the teams. look at Stunna. Its ok, I remember when I was new to cs awsell.

2018-02-07 00:30

Jokes aside though I wouldn't consider summit a t5 event, maybe if it had EnVyUs it would be.

2018-02-07 00:31

he's retarded, Summit is a top t2 tourmanet or low t1.

2018-02-07 03:04

yeah also venue/casters don't really matter since the event is for people on stream. We don't need a pro commentator like Semmler. Rather have more comedic and entertaining people like Stunna, Sean, James and players from other teams commentate. I'm hyped it should be a good event

2018-02-07 03:10

t2 event*

Summit is by Far not a t5 event, unless Ur a braindead Tbh , with sk and c9 now, its a top tier2 If not low T1 event

2018-02-06 23:25

Why u leave out bae nip :<

oh ya.. sorry NIP aswell, :<

2018-02-07 03:00

I bet the only teams you consider t1 are current top10 teams, if that. Sorry that you are braindead my friend.

2018-02-06 22:49

EnVyUs being tier 1 OMEGA LUL

2018-02-06 22:56

Just above u called cs summit a t5 tournament , and now u are calling envyus t1 ? Make up your fucking mind mate. But he is right when u are comparing teams like envyus academy , all the top 20-25 teans are t1

2018-02-06 23:06

hmmm, the statement ex6 released himself seems to state otherwise. gyazo.com/b9c8c13cbfafeabbf9655cb33216cd.. cry is free, he was dropped lol.

2018-02-07 07:05

finally -bot sexer!! ez for upcoming talented player hadji from envyus academy. Happy awp now? Maybe try zywoo on loan until rpk gets back, maybe another awper? Maybe amanek?

11 replies

Zywoo won't play until he finishes school in 6 months and RPK is back in training as of today

2018-02-06 22:37

Ah i see, i still think that happy awping won't last and they will need a replacement sooner or later.

2018-02-06 22:41

Still better than SIXER. But they are going to try to play rifle heavy which could actually be pretty cool to see if they are really explosive

Agreed

Thats why Im interested now in Liquid and EnVyUs. Two teams that will be rifle heavy (I hope Liquid is. I swear to god if I see nitr0 getting awp every chance he gets)

Scream will awp, he said it on twitter

2018-02-06 22:50

"EnVyUs will use the AWP less frequently following the removal of SIXER, with Vincent "Happy" Schopenhauer set to pick up the 'Big Green' going forward, but only occasionally and mostly on the CT side." Did you even read the article or are you just trolling ?

2018-02-06 22:59

ScreaM is the one who's trolling

2018-02-06 23:07

maybe but you have to be retarded to believe him

2018-02-07 00:00

Scream main awp

nV is competitive again!

niceee

last

:OO

EXPECTED

HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE

Congratz

2018-02-06 22:34

grats man

Time to change nick!

About time! Unless he gets a new team.

He's probably gonna end up in nV academy. Imo he's more than skilled enough for the academy roster.

2018-02-07 05:33

deserved

2018-02-06 23:15

Bout fucking time

Happy primary AWP? Seriously? What a waste.

he's not the primary awp. Envyus will awp less as stated in the article, happy will do the same role nbk does on g2, basically a secondary/utility awp on ctside.

7 replies

Which is a great thing IMO. It just hurt me to see SIXER buy the AWP every time he could and have 0 impact with it

well I didn't watch a lot of envyus games lately but in those that I stumbled upon I actually thought that SIXER is a competent awper, though without awp he is practically useless.

The thing is that he is wildly inconsistent. He can be great if he hits his shots that's true but most of the time he's just a 4750$ decoy

2018-02-06 23:04

maybe you are right. Either way I'm happy that hadji got the chance to play for a bigger team ( no pun intended )

Yeah Sixer can hit some wrist breaking shots, just to miss basic gold nova level shots the next round. It was bizarre to say the least, dude has talent, but no consistency.

2018-02-07 05:34

since they do not have anyone else to pick an awp anyway, happy IS the primary awper. it doesn't mean that he should buy an awp everytime, it means he will be the guy that picks it most of the time

2018-02-06 22:39

well ya i guess technically you're right, but is it really the same thing as being a primary awper just because noone else on the team is one? He's using it strictly on a must need basis for certain positions on ct side. Yes hes the only using it, but I wouldn't would really worry about it because hes been doing that his entire career anyways. He always ct side awps certain positions when he feels its needed.

2018-02-06 23:26

Finallyyyyyyyyy

rip the only asian from europe

What about jugi

Jugi is adopted,

2018-02-07 05:00

Finally jesus that took long

about damn time

finally, gj

Now I like this lineup

ENVY TOP8 NOW

damn rip

OMG WHAT

I would've benched SIXER instantly after his major performance.

this lineup looks strong

yeeees

Finally

NICE -HAPPY NOW

lol

2018-02-07 05:37

FINALLY!!!!

omfg finally i was afraid they not gonna kick this trash

FINALLY ;)

dat team looks good actually

expected

lol finally

finally

i have no idea who hadji is, but this is for sure huge improvement fuck this bot sixer go back to gold nova

He played pretty well as a standin in a qualifier i cant remember the name of

True, I was quite surprised

Probably the second best French talent next to Zywoo. And he was free because he came from the academy team.

Envy looking good finally!

sad for SIXER god

this is shaping up to be a good fkin team, big GL & HF to envy

Finally omg thank god, but who is the awp'er

Happy, but only on CT side.

I dont think they will go far with happy as main awp, they need a good awper but let give them a chance

finally EnVy's line up starting to scare me a bit, it was a joke before..

Omfg finally happy to main awp i am sure

Yesssssssss

about time

Finally wooooooooooooo

deserved hadji gl

I'm actually really liking this trend of more teams ditching sub-par primary AWPers and just going five-rifles. Unless your AWPer can dominate maps, having some more oomph in low-econ/force situations is a good pathway... it helped Virtus.Pro.

Happy primary awp >pick 1

2018-02-06 22:36

Everyone knew Happy was the primary AWPer and kennys was secondary. ... AWPing drop on cbble in half the rounds is still one of my favorite moments of that team.

exactly, why tf would someone have awper in team if he got happy in it

its gonna be the complete fall of EnVyUs as no real players present. Only some amateur bullshit so now we got a new lowkey team to make a profit from their throw career exde

lmao what -sixer +any global awper is already an upgrade

+1 exactly my point

2018-02-07 11:16

two Morrocans are better than one ez onetaps brothers

Happy AWP,shit about to get real son.

I CAN'T BELIEVE! FINALLY!

THAT'S good. I liked sixer. But he never happened to reach a decent level on this team. RIP to him but good luck to Hadji who is certainly a great player.

solid t2 team. Can see them winning a couple small lans, maybe making some good runs here and there.

placeholder for zywoo

FInally -sixer! But he is good enough for T1-T2?

LET'S GO ENVY TOP 10

2018-02-06 22:48

why sixer was a god? G2 needs him now -Kenny +SixerGod

rip 1.6 sixer

FUCK YEAH FINALLY

happy awping XDDDDDDDD

About time

2018-02-06 22:53

remove 2 players and happy wasn't kicked. The fug

He should be next...He's literally cancer in human-form when it comes to IGL'ing

Lol... You don't know anything about nV's set ups if you think Happy is THAT bad...

2018-02-07 05:43

I actually think he's pretty mechanically skilled, he's just not a good IGL. He's a solid AWPer too. Just needs to lurk less and let someone else take the IGL role.

2018-02-07 01:41

bye bye, bot SUCKSER, nobody will miss you

FINALLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY FUCKING BOT IS KICKED

SIXER > HAPPY

2018-02-06 22:57

Now this is a team

times are a changing

2018-02-06 23:00

about fucking time

Sixer will comeback on CSS

2018-02-06 23:03

finally they kicked that idiot.

Yeah, hadji has been looking great, good to see is talent will not be wasted in the academy team

yes

2018-02-06 23:09

AMEN, now there is another french team who can compete with the very best.

2018-02-06 23:10

SIXER > muslim muhammad hadji lost all respect I had for envyus

rip sexer the carry

2018-02-06 23:12

A bit late, but finally. Sad there are no better players in France tho. Why not get a younger player so you'll get a beast in no time but whatever.

2018-02-06 23:13

minus sixer is 100% the right move, but im not sure if they dont destroy it with letting happy awp xD

sixer is a good riffle a fantastic clutcher a very good aimer a quite good awp happy choice that he take awp... he was not the probleme and sixer is better when he is aggressive awp and happy want that he is passive

2018-02-06 23:22

Dizer was by far the less Skilled player from Navi

That movement was more expected than the first one... Good luck to the boy!

2018-02-06 23:28

FINALLY -SUXER

2018-02-06 23:31

sixer was bad but hAdji is not good either. I think they should add xms back. (two happy better than one lol)

2018-02-06 23:32

I think Xms really hit his limit, there's only so much you can train aim before you run out of room for improvement. Xms is a monster in terms of raw aim, but that's all he had going for him. He's still a young guy, he can fix his mistakes and come back later.

2018-02-07 05:44

Goodbye Sixer...

2018-02-06 23:40

Thanks Allah for listening our prayers. EnvyUs should had kick this asian piece of shit year ago

bye bot

2018-02-06 23:41

is this hAdji guy any good? is he an AWPer or rifler?

2018-02-06 23:42

rifler as far i can remember

2018-02-06 23:54

I assume Happy will be the primary AWPer then

2018-02-06 23:56

Hard to judge since I've only seen him play a couple times but looking at his stats he has a good rating, good KPR, seems like a fragger tbh based on his stats but what tier was this guy playing at is the real question? He's no Xantares or anything but he should be better than Sixer assuming he's good enough to play against tier 1 teams. I would of honestly kicked happy, I find him even more useless than Sixer but hey they want to stick with the IGL who keeps losing last 2 years thats their choice, wonder how many more French teams Happy can drive into the ground before they actually figure out he is the problem, Happy is exgtenz 2.0 only difference is Happy got to play on some of the best lineups France ever had and still somehow had mostly bad results, exgtenz got to play one good lineup in CS Go early very games they won many events and only could not beat NiP but obviously he was kicked because they kept failing at majors.

An issue is that until Zywoo is able to sign for a team, there aren't really any eligible french AWPers in the scene as far as I'm aware, and Happy can at east AWP to a decent enough level and has some rifling skills as well. Also, unless Ex6tenz sign with EnVy they don't have much in the way of IGLs either. But I do agree Happy is a major problem for this team. Sad to see Rpk wasting away there.

So because he doesn't have someone like shox or kennyS carrying the shit out of him he can't reinvent his play style to make his current personale more effective? RPK needs a new team tbh I really don't care about the other 4, but RPK is playing at a level where he deserves to be on a tier 1 team.

2018-02-07 00:28

ooh shit this is solid

2018-02-06 23:46

sixer is like: hey c9 im asian too u know :>

2018-02-06 23:48

YESSS FINALLY

2018-02-06 23:49

good player 1.6 , but CS:GO? nothing special. bye sixer.

2018-02-06 23:52

SOMEONE SAVE RPK FROM THIS SHIT TEAM PLEASE, HE'S SO FUCKING GOOD SOME TEAM PLEASE.

finallllyyyy :))))

2018-02-06 23:57

T side without awp, new meta bois btw sixer was bad but i dont think hadji is better, why they just don't keep xms (rifler)? if happy is going to awp and hadji rifler

nice to see teams actually promoting players from their academy teams and not just buying new ones. makes the player path to the top easier.

2018-02-07 00:01

Ex6 should of been better option

2018-02-07 00:03

Put Xms back and remove hadji lol...

+20

2018-02-07 01:22

Hadji is pretty good, but Hadji is basically being put on trial for the next six months, if he doesn't perform Zywoo will take his place. Or even Xms if the sale to LDLC falls through.

2018-02-07 05:49

Six months is alot of time waste and we both know xms is much better than hadji

2018-02-07 15:42

We'll see, maybe Hadji will end up better.

2018-02-07 21:18

2018-02-07 00:16

2 moroccan terrorists , allah akbar !

2018-02-07 00:22

see ya in 10 years

2018-02-07 01:58

The finally comments weren't about adding hAdji, it was about benching sixer, I admit he is a smart player, If he kept rifling it might've been different, but sadly he sucked.

2018-02-07 00:23

lot of teams are really moving away from having anything close to a dedicated awper. very interesting.

2018-02-07 00:24

THIS GUY LOOKS LIKE A LoL PLAYER

He's really not, before the roster fell apart due to Rpk being sick and other issues, nV was a top 13 team. What did you expect from that roster, top 10? Be realistic, he did a good job.

HAHAHAHAH

Dude what the fuck he'll just get cut as soon as they pick up zywoo in June I don't expect anything out of happy here, and I doubt this guy will bring much but we'll have to wait and see

He's being put on trial. Hadji is very skilled too, 1.3 rating compared to Zywoo's 1.4. But, Hadji plays against slightly better opponents.

Oh really I was just basing this off of his play in the recent qualifiers which was decent but nothing to look twice at I guess he has more potential than I realized
