Similar to many CS:GO teams, EnVyUs as an organization did not actually grow inside the Counter-Strike business. This could lead to the conclusion that nV have made a mistake there, but it is totally understandable to panic in such situations and convert back to the play style that has worked always so far. Just one round away from closing Dust 2 for themselves, they were put under enormous pressure and instead of holding sites and “playing it safe”, they went aggressive and lost men in the first seconds of every round, leading to them being overrun by the sheer force of the powerhouse that is fnatic. As mentioned before, they managed to get a 15-11 lead on the first map. This has proven to be fatal in the finals of ESL One Cologne against fnatic. They are capable of converting to a defensive play style as well, but they have proven very often that – in high-pressure moments – they tend to fall back to their old and usual behavior. Usually nV compensate that by entry-fragging even on the CT-side to take the momentum from their enemies and to gain the man-advantage as early as possible. ![]() This, of course, means a huge relief for kioShiMa as he is not the only one responsible for the first kills, but nonetheless signals a deficit in defensive play. So, if you have the man advantage but apEX is still alive, don’t feel the confidence of victory just yet!Īnalyzing the team composition actually reveals that most of the players were and are capable of taking over the position of an entry-fragger. But under the EnVyUs flag he has proven again and again to be an absolute monster with the sniper rifle, hitting insane flick shots and having reaction times that come close to zero.ĭan “apEX” Madesclaire is usually described as being capable of turning around rounds singlehandedly. This, however, changed as the AWP nerfing shed a little more light on players such as Guardian from Na’Vi. Just half a year ago, Kenny “kennyS” Schrub was widely considered to be the best AWP player in the world. He will look for aggressive picks, he will try to make the enemy team back up, and he will open up bomb sites for his team. His current position within nV is the entry-fragger. His very defensive play style makes him eligible for support duties, although he was actually known to be a rather aggressive player – even main awper – back in his Counter Strike: Source days.įabien “kioShiMa” Fiey has a long career to look back at, starting CS 1.6 at just 17 years of age. He is the one who should be given the task do defend bomb sites singlehandedly, similar to the role of KRiMZ in fnatic. Nathan “NBK” Schmitt is what Happy- himself explains to be a defender. Although he might have given up on that role now, he still manages to pull off amazing plays, once opting to go for the sniper rifle again sometimes. Until the signing of AWP-master kennyS, he was actually regarded to be the main awper in the team. Their current ingame leader is the CS:S legend Vincent “Happy-“ Cervoni, widely known for his aggressive play style. It is just another part of their recent victories, which include GFINITY Summer & Spring Masters and the IEM Gamescom. There is a reason for EnVyUs to be on the third spot of our team rankings. ![]() This frustrating loss was quite a thorn in nV’s side and with fnatic growing strong and confident again, they eventually lost the final.īut still, they managed to get second place at a major tournament. As fnatic rose up again, they carried the game into overtime and managed to win the map for themselves. On the first map of the grand final against fnatic, they brought it to a 15-11 scoreline but unfortunately were unable to close out the map. In the first major to compete under that lineup, ESL One Cologne, they pulled off wins against TSM and Na’Vi, both in a quite convincing fashion. Both lacked consistency as well, but under nV they quickly rose to show their full range of skills and - being backed up by very skilled players – they even managed to remain on the high performance level they formerly had only proven to deliver in fewer situations. This, however, changed as the French team acquired the Titan players kennyS and apEX. This came to effect in, for example, the ESEA Pro League Finals and ESWC Montreal, where they lost against Cloud9 both times. ![]() It was never sure if they would win against teams that they should – at least statistically – outmatch. Just a few months ago, nV proved themselves to be very inconsistent in their performance.
