Triumph sign ryann; part ways with Spongey

2-9-2020 20:09

The former Envy player rounds out Triumph's roster in lieu of Gabe "⁠Spongey⁠" Greiner ahead of their ESL Pro League campaign.

Ryan "⁠ryann⁠" Welsh has joined the ranks of Triumph as they get ready to dive into their ESL Pro League run. To make room for the 19-year-old in the starting five, Triumph have parted ways with Spongey, who has been let go after over nine months with the organization and was a member of the team that won the ESEA MDL Season 33 North America Finals.

ryann will debut with Triumph against Gen.G in ESL Pro League

ryann will now rejoin his former Envy teammate Kaleb "⁠moose⁠" Jayne in Triumph, as both players were released from their previous organization in early August. Both moose and ryann had started to turn heads before joining Envy, in eUnited and Singularity, respectively, but had steep drops in performance during their time in the Dallas-based organization and will hope to once again find their best form under Alan "⁠Shakezullah⁠" Hardeman's leadership.

moose joined Triumph in mid August, at the same time as Erik "⁠penny⁠" Penny, when Michael "⁠Grim⁠" Wince went to Liquid and he Rahul "⁠curry⁠" Nemani stepped down to focus on his studies, and has already competed with Triumph in DreamHack Open Summer and ESL One Cologne.

ryann will play his first official match with Triumph in their ESL Pro League Season 12 opening match against Gen.G, which will take place on Thursday, September 3 at 21:00 .

Triumph's roster is now:

Alan "⁠Shakezullah⁠" Hardeman
Paytyn "⁠junior⁠" Johnson
Ryan "⁠ryann⁠" Welsh
Kaleb "⁠moose⁠" Jayne
Erik "⁠penny⁠" Penny

Marcos "⁠tacitus⁠" Castilho (coach)

he and moose were both really good before envy, i hope he does well when playing with a real igl

2020-09-02 20:17

He’s playing with Shakezullah who was his IGL in Singularity. Gotta imagine that played a role in his addition.

2020-09-02 20:44

Ryan was not good before envy

2020-09-02 22:11

either way, a new team means he might find his feet here

2020-09-02 23:12

+1, spongey >>>>>>>>>ryan, What a fucking downgrade

Ryann lmao

ryan kek

Triumph...

lmao rip this team had so much potential

0.61

you're kidding. moose was a good pickup but ryann??

Bot ryann + bot moose this team will be worst than mibr

Moose is good

2020-09-02 21:17

Triumph had so much potential with curry, junior, sponges, grim and Shake as IGL but now this team seems like a normal MDL Team again with no potential to even challenge the top Na Teams...

yup, but grim was the hard carry before, so the team wasn't sustainable anyways.

2020-09-02 20:36

yeah junior and grim were a solid duo

2020-09-03 02:52

Junior is underrated, grim took all the recognition instead, but junior had just as many highlights as grim, top NA Awper

2020-09-03 11:38

Not convinced Ryann is better than Spongey honestly

This team is a joke if they think this is an upgrade. Hopefully Spongey had another reason to go because ryan doesn’t deserve any money to play this game

2020-09-02 20:18

??? Ryann is worse

9 replies

Ryann is a support player, and hes not bad. Hes not supposed to get 35 kills and carry his team lol. Its not a huge difference in rating/stats tbh.

2020-09-02 20:25

Support player role doesn’t exist. Players shouldn’t be excused from shit performances because of their “role”

2020-09-02 22:43

ROFL. Of course it exists? wtf? A support is basically a player that "gives his life" for another player. Basically a trade OR help with smokes/flashbang so the entry player can get an entry kill.

2020-09-02 22:47

5 replies

In any team consisting of people who can left click, especially high level pros, everyone on the damn team should be trading, throwing lined up smokes, and throwing flashbangs. Not just 1 player.

2020-09-02 23:51

4 replies

lol? Players have roles dude. Obv everyone can trade/throw flashbangs etc but, they still have roles. Or are you telling me that FalleN, as an example, isnt AWPer? We have roles such as: Lurker Support Entry AWPer 2nd AWPer IGL Rifler -> Which basically is any role that is needed To mention some roles.

2020-09-03 00:12

Of these roles you listed, only IGL and main AWPer are actually existent. The rest are played interchangeably.

2020-09-03 00:15

What a shitty argument. Of course there are occasions where they will improvise a role, but overall each one will stick to their role.

2020-09-09 23:13

nah

2020-09-10 00:53

Spongey is also a support player and i've seen more out of him than ryan. Also ryan is a prime example as the weakest link in a team just being labeled "support" to compensate for his low skill.

2020-09-03 00:34

Ryann was kinda good before joining envy, so i hope he can perform to that level again GL Triumph

2020-09-02 20:20

legit dumped a bot for another bot but tbf ryann was playing with toxic dumbass nifty so i'll give him a chance

2020-09-02 20:22

Good signing. People in here doesnt seem to realize Ryann is a support player and not a player that is supposed to have 35-13 in stats each game lol.

spongey was a support player too... but he missed way too many opportunities. It hurt to watch Spongey play before. Hopefully ryan can step up and perform better than in Envy.

2020-09-02 20:37

Well, it wasnt his "real" role though? Ryanns "real" role from what i know have always been support? Yeah, lets wait and see, i just dont understand the people going "OMG HAHAHA SUCH DOWNGRADE" etc.

2020-09-02 20:39

There’s a difference between support and deadweight Besides “support” in cs is a bullshit excuse for sucking ass, you don’t see top teams have shit players who use the “support” excuse

2020-09-02 21:36

Well, Ryann is a good support player. When or where did a pro team say "Omg we have a support player, thats why we are bad"? lol. All team have a support player. Astralis: Xyp9x OG: NBK MIBR: Taco coL: RUSH 100T: Liazz To mention some. And, 9/10 games these players are in the bottom of the board. Well, maybe not Xyp9x, hes a SOLID support player, probably the best one in the world/game.

2020-09-02 21:43

rip triumph 2/5 from that amazing roster

the roster got hard carried by Grim. Only shake and Junior did some work in addition to most of it getting lifted by Grim

2020-09-02 20:27

spongey and curry had some high potential and both were kicked with no time for them to perform. They were upcoming and got 1st with their team Under 21 in one ESEA MDL Season before joining Triumph in which roster curry was the hard carry. they needed the time...

2020-09-02 20:46

curry left because he's going to school btw, not because he was kicked.

2020-09-02 20:49

ok thx for info

im pretty sure curry quit because of school sadly, i still think this triumph team can surprise, so many young players that could develop into stars, mainly junior but i reallyt want ryann to surprise me and penny is just 17 so who knows he might develop into a great player like grim under shake

2020-09-02 20:51

Spongey never played for Under 21. That team was carried by Synic and Xeppaa.

2020-09-03 02:15

wtf????? ryann was trash on Envy, why the fuck would any org sign him, hello???

2020-09-02 20:23

WHY Ryan i don't get it there are way better players that don't have team

expected

2020-09-02 20:29

nice! gl

2020-09-02 20:30

makes no sense.

2020-09-02 20:34

bot for bot?? why

2020-09-02 20:40

They just needed another bot

Surely there are better players in NA right?

2020-09-02 20:45

This team is strong rn

imo spongey = ryann this is a stupid move

2020-09-02 20:59

ffrom a team with a bright future ahead of them to this in 2 months FeelsNAMan

2020-09-02 21:16

Who came up with this idea? Spongey>>>> ryann

2020-09-02 21:19

Ryann was playing bad on Envy so take that into account. That team was utter shit. Ryann was actually a really strong support player in SNG his team before Envy.

2020-09-02 21:22

exactly lmfao, people act like he was the problem

2020-09-02 22:12

Spongebot shitpants finally out, but Ryan?

2020-09-02 21:25

rip the good roster

How the fuck does ryann keep getting signed this guy is so fucking bad

2020-09-02 21:37

Why do they want this bot?

2020-09-02 22:02

omfg why spongey that guy was actually decent. fuck ryann, fucking shitter on envy

2020-09-02 22:08

idk which one of them is worse

2020-09-02 22:22

Rip Sponge Gay

2020-09-02 22:36

wut worst change

2020-09-02 23:46

This is downgrade. In this past year Ryann has been very awful against top NA teams. Then again Envy is a wreck, maybe there's chance he'll perform better under better IGL and in better environment. But personally I think Spongey still a bit better than Ryann.

2020-09-02 23:52

good synergies with this line-up

2020-09-03 01:33

He hasn’t looked since Singularity and I think he gets the rep of being toxic now

2020-09-03 01:38

wow who is in charge at triumph....ryann is so damn sub par its funny....

2020-09-03 01:52

Geezz, they destroyed Triumph in 2 months. They were really enjoyable to watch. F

2020-09-03 02:32

Lmao I was just starting to get hope for NA CS, and then Steel leaves and Triumph bring on Ryann of all people

2020-09-03 04:54

Ryann is pretty much zellsis-type Shitters Come out of nowhere by abusing aug and sg, guess what? They both suck ever since meta is gone

2020-09-03 06:42

let's go ryann, this is your oportunity to show your mad skills and teamplay!!! GL <3

2020-09-03 07:25

who cars they're both bots

2020-09-03 10:05

rip triumph sponjey underrated

2020-09-03 14:58

Why would you sign such a BOT. This players is literally so bad. I agree that they needed to remove Spongey, because he played trash lately, but adding ryann is a huge mistake. For me they should remove moose, because he is a total BOT aswell, and add Keti, because she is great, and WolfY, because this guy has potential to be one of the best players in NA.

2020-09-03 15:10

smart move

2020-09-03 15:55

ryann was solid with singularity with Shakezullah as IGL. I think its was Nifty that made him so horrendous. If he can manages a 1.00 rating hell be fine as a support
