Envy in talks to make multiple changes to roster - Report

21-7-2020 22:59

The team are considering the removal of up to three members of their roster according to a report from DBLTAP.

Envy are reportedly engaged in discussions to make a number of changes to their roster, comprising of the removal of Ryan "⁠ryann⁠" Welsh and either Buğra "⁠Calyx⁠" Arkın or Michał "⁠MICHU⁠" Müller. Former Bad News Bears member Peter "⁠ptr⁠" Gurney has been eyed as a potential replacement for one of the players.

According to DBLTAP, removing all three players has not been ruled out, but it would result in a complete points reset for the team in the North American Regional Major Ranking (RMR), where they currently reside in ninth place. Should they decide to only change two players, Envy would lose 40% of their current total, leaving them in second-to-last place with 720 points.

ryann is one of the players on the Envy chopping block

The two European players were brought on to the Envy roster at the start of the year alongside Kaleb "⁠moose⁠" Jayne, but the team has struggled to find form since their additions. An 11th place finish in Flashpoint 1 and lacklustre showings in the North American divisions of ESL One: Road to Rio and cs_summit 6 has seen them slip from a roster-high of No. 27 in our rankings to No. 45.

While ryann has statistically been the team's worst player, averaging a 0.86 rating in 2020, the removals of Calyx or MICHU comes as a surprise as the players have been strong performers for the roster. A possible reason for the change would be because of the players remaining in Europe due to the coronavirus outbreak, both having returned home following the conclusion of cs_summit 6 at the end of May.

Should all three players be removed, Envy would be left with:

Noah "⁠Nifty⁠" Francis
Kaleb "⁠moose⁠" Jayne

Nikola "⁠LEGIJA⁠" Ninić (coach)

go full EU pls

2020-07-22 01:10

Maikelele had his chance with NIP, but ever since then, he's been going downhill man.

2020-07-22 04:07

-maikalele -oskar +smooya +lekr0

2020-07-22 15:35

now that's a good lineup

2020-07-22 16:43

but 600k for lekro, idk if they can afford it

2020-07-22 16:44

They had to pay the Flashpoint Buy-in, i am sure they could afford him. And it is also just a matter of bargaining. NIP almost certainly put the buyout that him to give them wiggle room in negotiations.

2020-07-22 16:46

+cosmeen +Thomas Or +any EU player and there top 30 eu

2020-07-22 01:59

God I'm so fucking tired of that kid. He's a good player but such a fucking snake. Good for him that his team is gonna be trash after they remove Calyx and MICHU.

i dont get it. what did Nifty do? explain pls

2020-07-22 01:07

google it bro

2020-07-22 01:14

keeps backstabbing players so he keep his position in Envy.

2020-07-22 01:28

#108. An example would be FugLy. There was a few articles about it when that happened. dotesports.com/counter-strike/news/fugly.. The Twitlonger is a good read, details basically everything.

2020-07-22 02:05

Nifty at it again, why does Envy allow him to continually ruin teams

Envy in 2k20

Jus sign Yeah lineup and go win tournaments already

Nifty is like Peacemaker they ruin everything, and yet team fight to get them

2020-07-21 23:02

30 y/o ptr going to carry.....

MICHU AND CALYX ARE THE 2 BEST MEMBERS WTF

its not about performances, its possibly due to corona outbreak

2020-07-22 02:53

Yeah ik but I'm still devastated. Honestly they should just drop the whole roster and pick up triumph or ZPG

2020-07-22 11:00

Wish both of them best of to find a better team... they deserve it :/

2020-07-22 03:48

Kick Nifty

IMAGINE REMOVING YOUR 3 BEST PLAYERS LMFAOOOOO

ryann best pick one calyx and michu best 2 players yes

2020-07-21 23:31

Right? Moose is such a bot.

2020-07-22 00:46

Michu and Calyx yes ryann sucked

I mean someone has to be the bitch of the team

2020-07-22 09:40

2020-07-22 15:34

surprised that snake Nifty stays again.

because he is the one that gets rid of people in envy

XD WHAT NOW WITH MICHU AND CALYX THEY CANT BE WASTE :(

10 iq move lol

Makes sense given the current situation. Hope michu and calyx find a good team, and thank god they kicked ryan as well, he's absolute trash.

Literally could go after Bubzkji/Kjaerbye and try to make an EU SUPERTEAM with Michu and Calyx. Instead they’ll stick to NA and have a worse roster then Ze Pug Gods lol

Envy is an NA organization, so them staying in NA makes sense. Plus, it'll probably be cheaper for them to maintain an NA roster because they're not worth as much.

2020-07-22 04:09

Sure it makes more sense if you want a worse roster that’s cheaper, but honestly wtf is the point of having a sub par NA team that will never win anything... The timing is also horrendous as they could have picked up a lot of the talent from Ze Pug Gods roster but now theirs not much to choose from

2020-07-22 04:35

Cause being top 8 in NA makes way more than being top 30 in EU

2020-07-22 09:01

I've asked myself that same question many times lol and I still don't have any logical answer, but hey it's not my money. It sucks to see big organizations wasting their money on a mediocre roster, but at the end of the day it's their decision. We just get to sit back and watch things unfold.

2020-07-22 11:11

HAHAHAH sad for Michu hope he gonna find good home in EU

Nice Envy is are competing with C9 to see who makes the worst decisions

C9’s decision wasn’t bad

2020-07-22 04:12

Man they literally had 20 different players during 2019

2020-07-23 22:29

envy in 2020 LUL

-Nifty +ptr

Trying to replace their best players lol

Nifty at this again confirmed

2020-07-22 00:26

because both michu and calyx stuck in eu

2020-07-22 02:32

Nifty is like a 10 years old sassy boy. Mommy I dont want this toy, I want new one. mommy mommy mom mom mom mom ....

2020-07-22 10:14

2020-07-22 11:07

2020-07-22 11:16

I can imagine this meeting: hey guys, what do we need to do to become shittier than we already are?

2020-07-21 23:07

This team is so fucking lost man.... Hastro what the fuck

2020-07-21 23:08

Funny how people are suggesting them to make make a EU roster or get EU players when the only apparent reason of Calyx and Michu's removal is because they are stuck in EU for time being and God knows how long

2020-07-21 23:09

Don't expect hltv users to actually read the articles.

2020-07-21 23:11

They could make an EU roster and just compete in EU. But Envy is a shell of what they once were, Nifty literally stealing money.

2020-07-21 23:16

They should just drop those NA bots and build EU team around Calyx and Michu

2020-07-22 17:33

yeye kick 3 best players, make full NA team and take your team to bigger asshole edit: Thanks to Noah "Nifty" Cyrus

good for Calyx & MICHU, they will leave this sinking boat

2020-07-21 23:24

2020-07-22 06:13

2020-07-22 06:32

2020-07-22 10:09

HAHAHAHAHA. Envy is a joke rofl. I mean, if i was MICHU and Calyx i would probably be happy i suppose. Because now they can move back to EU and play for a decent team.

I think EU=the highest level of players but NA=the highest amount of $$

2020-07-21 23:41

MICHU and Calyx left NA after cs_summit 6 around the end of May, so they're already home.

2020-07-22 04:11

ptr in 2020 lmao, disband this shit

2020-07-21 23:12

ptr just joining cause he's friends with legija. but na playerpool is very thin so not many options

2020-07-21 23:14

import from other region..

2020-07-22 00:02

No, it isn’t lmao.

2020-07-22 04:19

grim and maybe ze pug gods players, but other than that i see no other players who can keep up on international t1-2 level realistically (top 25 world ranking)

2020-07-22 14:59

why michu and calyx.... mucho is the best poland player by far and calyx is doing okey WTF

2020-07-21 23:17

Any roster move conncted to ptr is straight up wrong. But Envy, yeah, they have been the flagship of wrong-move teams.

who cares tier10 team

2020-07-21 23:21

Nifty: Does Inferno Bhop Push everyone: WOOW Nifty: Build team around me. everyone: Yeah! Nifty: omg bots kiick everyone: OK Nifty: everyone: you suck

removing michu or calyx? what?

2020-07-21 23:22

michu and calyx? they're the best of the team. wtf is this org doing? fucking nifty became the NiKo of NA and NiKo of Envy. just kick this guy and find a talented awper and not a snake igl. maybe even consider sh1ro and a and give shit tons of money to gambit, it's better than this shit head. or disband.

2020-07-21 23:23

yes like CIS CS is so good

2020-07-21 23:30

shiro cant speak fluent english

2020-07-21 23:33

i'm pretty sure he can learn at NA.

2020-07-22 12:30

but he's baiting for stats.

+alex +bubzki +someone from eu Full EU superteam

2020-07-21 23:25

calyx and michu come eu pls

Kicking best players and adding ptr? okay

2020-07-21 23:35

hmm calyx and michu carry this team but envy kicked them out of the squad. NiCe iDeA AmK

Keep all the players and remove nifty.. add any decent awpers and this team can reach top 30

ryann has to go too. we could play better than him

2020-07-21 23:47

Ye you right. Remove ryann and add curry perhaps

2020-07-22 00:13

expected

Lmao hastro deserves to get fucked for still believing in nifty. Calyx and michu were the best players and only the ryann move makes sense

2020-07-21 23:42

Save Calyx

2020-07-21 23:52

"comprising of the removal of Ryan "⁠ryann⁠" Welsh" I'm happy now

So they want to bench their 2 best players? I dont get it

2020-07-21 23:55

They should remove ryann and moose.

2020-07-22 00:00

Snake nifty once again

2020-07-22 00:01

Thanks god, now Michu and Calyx finally can compete in some team they deserve to be

+1 lmfao

2020-07-22 12:09

JUST DO THIS IF THEY WANT PTR TO IGL / AWP ptr Calyx MICHU Moose +1

2020-07-22 00:29

wouldn't be suprised if they got ptr for ryann to IGL so nifty can awp. But probably nifty will do ret, move and push out 2eu players like calyx michu to north or smth.

2020-07-22 00:37

-emi -Shipz +calyx +michu= c0ntact top 15 ez

2020-07-22 00:31

no keep Shipz he has potential -Snappi -emi then put Espiranto on IGL

2020-07-22 05:24

snappi not long ago joined not kick it out

2020-07-22 16:09

Brother man pete back on a team :D

kick nifty and add proper igl like lekr0. Calyx + michu + lekro would be massive

2020-07-22 00:41

Nifty lives another day, zzz

2020-07-22 00:45

Respect him pls remember after all he hit 4 bhops in a row and killed a player 3 years ago

2020-07-22 01:36

nifty is literally worse then gratification, yet he has envy sucking him dry

2020-07-22 01:00

Nifty is way better than Gratata, but he's an asshole

2020-07-22 01:13

im a die hard (100T) RNG fan, he was absolute bot but he was the "IGL" so his shitty awp preformance make it ok, grat is slightly more impactful.

2020-07-23 00:26

WHY IS NIFTY STILL ON THIS FUCKING TEAM GET HIM OUT!

How can they keep nifty after he failed on like 3 different rosters

2020-07-22 01:01

why are people blaming nifty? can somebody explain what he did?

He fucks envy CEO so he own the cs team He does wathever he wants with the team

lmfao yeah bring some washed up 30 year old to the roster that'll be great

2020-07-22 01:30

world first professional team for wingman mode.

2020-07-22 01:31

-chrisj +calyx And w0xic reunites with his former teammate??

2020-07-22 01:34

he fcking hates calyx lmao

2020-07-22 02:49

Why wtf

2020-07-22 03:07

2020-07-22 03:27

He is mad at calyx for leaving dark passage to join Space Soldiers

2020-07-22 11:21

snake nifty still there I see, will never forgive after he got rid of lounging god JDM

add marke and cooper and another good rifler

Nifty, awesome player, shitty teammate. Good luck to all three of these guys, and may god have mercy on ptr

2020-07-22 02:04

Roster change = move half the team to valorant

2020-07-22 02:17

2020-07-22 02:45

Tbh i would love to see that

2020-07-22 05:19

why Envy still keep Nifty? is this because he's gay boyfriend to envy's boss or something?

2020-07-22 02:51

hahaha michu and calyx hard carry envy. 0/8 shit team when kick both of them, even when remove one of them its gg for envy.

2020-07-22 03:01

2020-07-22 03:22

You got this nifty.

Just go full EU lol. Get Lekro, Smooya/Oskar, and Bubzkji, and thats a possible top 8-15 team

2020-07-22 04:38

+mertz

2020-07-22 05:18

Lekr0 is going madlions Since nifty awps oskar or smooya cant be a deal breaker So if nifty changes his roles its gonna be worth

2020-07-22 05:25

Yeah, it would be great for me to see oskar with Michu. Who is free? AWpers: mertz, oskar, Guardian (maybe under contract?), smooya Riflers: Bubzkji, Lekro, Alex, nukkye, Kjaerbye (if he will come back)

nt nifty

2020-07-22 04:47

CALYX + MICHU >>> ENVY

2020-07-22 05:17

Nivera Kioshima Michu Calyx Any 3 of them please

kkkkkkkk my god...they took the good ones out

2020-07-22 05:47

my assumption is that they gonna revamp this roster into valorant roster. I can see bot like nifty, ptr and moose playing valorant. 2nd Envy valorant team incoming

2020-07-22 06:27

i thought ptr already switched to valorant super bad move to even think about removing michu or calyx but probably two faced nifty has something to do with it this team wont go anywhere with this snake in charge

2020-07-22 07:44

remains bots lol

2020-07-22 07:56

Envy want kick 2 good players XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

2020-07-22 08:04

actually they don't wanna play in NA.

2020-07-22 08:20

seems like teams with nifty just dont work :D

2020-07-22 08:07

Well at some time they were good. But it was so unlucky that EU players were forced to play from EU due Coronavirus.

2020-07-22 08:25

Noone smart enough would play with nifty.

2020-07-22 08:16

PTR OVER CALYX/MICHU LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

2020-07-22 10:42

2020-07-22 15:36

LOL WTF

2020-07-22 10:52

pls kick michu and calyx together so they dont waste their careers in NA instead they join an EU mix together

2020-07-22 12:11

LOL, keeping NIFTY but remove everyone else? Well done ENVY

2020-07-22 12:31

200 iq, kick your double carry and get more washed up T3 pros Noah Two-faced Toledo back at it again lul

2020-07-22 12:48

good for calyx and michy, they'll be saved from that NA shitty players

good news for Calyx and MICHU they are great player. Envy doesn't deserve they

2020-07-22 13:36

most overrated player Nifty

2020-07-22 14:11

Nice article.

2020-07-22 14:46

finally michu saved

2020-07-22 15:33

He's not, new information says that he stays cybersport.pl/262729/fantasyexpo-dementu..

still "Jednoczesnie Lewis przyznał, iż niewykluczone ma być również odejście całej trójki." and "Na tę chwilę nie jest planowane odsunięcie Michała..." so there is no 100% he will stay, i hope he'll leave because envy rn is michu+calyx and 3 bots

2020-07-22 15:40

True, here’s what they should do: IGL: -Nifty, +Lekr0/Alex Support/Awp: -Ryan, +Kjaerbye/Mertz Star Fragger: -Moose, +Bubzkji Lekr0/Alex Bubzkji Michu Calyx Kjaerbye/Mertz I would say Cosmeeen as a 1 millionth chance, but it won’t happen

2020-07-22 17:52

it is nice roster i would like to see but yeah pretty much impossible, i hope that calyx and michu leave envy and find good polish/turkish or european team

2020-07-22 18:17

wtf envy. I can get why ryann is removed, but how in the world Michu and Calyx? They r literally 2 best players in ur team. Isn't it Nifty strikes again?

2020-07-22 17:50
