The American esports organization ENVY has officially confirmed their long-anticipated comeback to Counter-Strike by acquiring the complete roster of 3DMAX. This move marks a significant return for the organization to the French competitive landscape where they previously achieved remarkable success.
The announcement followed shortly after 3DMAX secured victory at the Logitech G Play Connect tournament on September 23rd. ENVY released a mysterious teaser video that sparked immediate speculation within the community. For many followers of the scene, this development was the expected culmination of months of circulating rumors and discussions.
Organization owner Mike Rufail shared his enthusiasm for returning to the French Counter-Strike community. He referenced the team's historic accomplishments with iconic French talents like Dan Madesclaire and Kenny Schrub, notably their triumph at the DreamHack Cluj-Napoca Major back in 2015. Rufail expressed hope that the new lineup could replicate similar achievements.
The newly formed ENVY squad currently holds the 21st position in worldwide VRS rankings. The roster features Bryan Canda, Lucas Chastang, Kévin Rabier, Filip Brankovic, and Jeremy Gast. The team is anticipated to compete in the upcoming PGL Major Singapore, where they will look to establish themselves among the elite teams in the global Counter-Strike scene.
This signing represents not only ENVY's return but also their continued commitment to supporting French talent in competitive Counter-Strike.
