EnVyUs release maLeK

EnVyUs have parted ways with team coach Damien "maLeK" Marcel, the North American organisation have announced.

The 32-year-old leaves Envy after a 15-month spell with the French team, having been recruited in February 2017, when Vincent "⁠Happy⁠" Schopenhauer rebuilt the squad after losing three players to G2.

During this time, Envy failed to reach the same heights of previous rosters, with the team's only title coming at DreamHack Open Atlanta.

maLeK leaves EnVyUs

The announcement comes at a pivotal moment for the French side, who sit at the foot of the table in ECS and will travel to Leicester to compete in the ESL Pro League relegation stage after finishing in a disappointing 12th place in the regular season.

"Damien joined Envy CS:GO at a pivotal moment of transition for our franchise and we are thankful to him for his efforts to build the new roster into one of the game’s most competitive," EnVyUs CEO Mike "Hastr0" Rufail said in a statement.

"Unfortunately, we have not achieved the championship level of success that our organization or fans expect from Envy CS:GO in recent months, and felt it necessary to make a coaching change."

Envy, who will take on Spirit in the first round of the Pro League relegation stage, now have:

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

France Alexandre "⁠xms⁠" Forté (substitute)

its funny that ppl who know nothing about whats going on in the team, say the coach was bad. From what i have heard from ppl inside the industry he is a very good coach who buts alot of time into tactics and works very hard. But this things somehow dont show up in game cause some arrogant fuck called Happy.

From what we get from every player and analyst that is saying Happys style doesnt work and he is very arrogant about it? never willing to change things? So you blame the coach who everyone in France and analysts say is good and is doing work.

Well that's the prob. He focussed mostly on rpk. Giving him good positions. And didn't use scream properly. Scream always had bad positions. Were he had to peek awpers. Or enter in like a decoy to get info

Happy is way too smart for counter-strike. I think 99% of the community + players are simply too stupid to understand his approach to the game. Other E-Sport titles probably skimmed off most of the intelligent players and what is left is playing counter-strike. It's sad, it's so sad.

Yea, I see no other explanation for their bad results. They are a team full of star players, with experience (except for hAdji, who are the team's youngster). And they cant achieve titles. Seems like they have no motivation at all, particulary Happy and ScreaM. I feel like ScreaM really dont give a shit about loosing for Tier3 teams, and just care about his streams. This sucks man.

Yea, I understand you bro. ScreaM's tweets are ridiculous. He barely can give a better excuse, just keep crying and saying: "OH NO, WE LOOSE AGAIN, DONT KNOW WHATS HAPPENING T_T". At least G2 is trying to improve, mixwell is striving to fit the squad, even trying to upgrade his french. Now these bastards dont even try anything new. Happy is a dying player, ScreaM dont give a shit, RpK is worried about his cars and his BMW Jackets, kioShima and hAdji are the new ones. Really sad for EnVy, because I really like this org.
