Hastr0 suggests G2 CSGO players want to \u201cjump ship\u201d Envy Gaming \/ G2 EsportsEnvy Gaming Owner, Mike \u2018hastr0\u2019 Rufail, has claimed that G2\u2019s Counter-Strike roster are \u201calready trying to jump ship\u201d during a back and forth with the organization\u2019s founder, Carlos \u2018ocelote\u2019 Rodr\u00edguez. G2 Esports and Envy are both titans of the esports realm. Both organizations have fielded world championship-caliber teams in numerous titles. Envy has been around for seven years more than G2, but both teams have welcomed success from different areas of the esports world. While Envy\u2019s seeds are deep-rooted in Call of Duty, G2 has built its legacy off the back of success in League of Legends and CS:GO. And it is G2\u2019s CS:GO outfit which hastr0 claims are ready to \u201cjump ship,\u201d despite being regarded as one of the best teams in the world. Hastr0 and Ocelote lock horns After hastr0 detailed that his Envy organization had been involved in four out of seven previous Call of Duty World Championship Grand Finals (now five out of eight following Dallas Empire\u2019s win), Ocelote Tweeted a laughing emoji in response to a sentiment which dubbed the Envy Owner as the \u201cbest general management and talent mind in all of esports.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/CarlosR\/status\/1299709508143517697 Following a short back and forth \u2014 where Carlos compared G2 to \u201c3 Michelin Star, fusion cuisine high-profile restaurant\u201d and Envy to a \u201c3 Yelp Star family bakery store\u201d \u2014 Rufail responded with claims that the G2 lineup is ready to fly the banner of another organization. \u201cWell, seeing as how your CS players are already trying to jump ship, not sure that comparison makes sense,\u201d hastr0 began. \u201cYou might want to check on your cooks in the kitchen.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/CarlosR\/status\/1299718333869232130 The G2 Owner was having none of it and replied suggesting that Rufail had been \u201cfinessed,\u201d while also claiming that Envy is an \u201cold, dying dinosaur\u201d \u2014 it\u2019s worth noting that Envy was founded in 2007, while G2 (formerly Gamers2) was established in 2014. https:\/\/twitter.com\/CarlosR\/status\/1299719558811582465 G2 made their mark in CS:GO in 2016, after building what was dubbed to be a \u2018world-beating\u2019 roster featuring the likes of Richard \u2018shox\u2019 Papillon and Adil \u2018ScreaM\u2019 Benrlitom\u2026 The latter of which was ironically traded to, you guessed it, Team Envy. However, Team Envy also has its legacy in CS:GO secure, becoming Major winners at Cluj-Napoca 2015. Of course, the Twitter exchange between the pair was mostly light-hearted, but there may also be a shred of truth mixed in there too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
