Team Envy officially releases full CSGO roster Adela Sznajder \/ DreamhackAmerican esports organization Team Envy has officially released every member of their CSGO squad, but the move doesn\u2019t really come as much of a surprise. Envy has been one of the most well-known esports orgs in the CSGO scene since 2015, but with the wild year esports has gone through, some insiders are claiming that it\u2019s no longer financially profitable to operate a professional Counter-Strike team. One of those was Envy owner Mike \u2018hastr0\u2019 Rufail, who likened running a CS team to \u201clighting money on fire\u201d in the current moment. Actually, operating almost any CS team is lighting money on fire right now. There are no underlying assets that support the spend where top player salaries are. I\u2019m sure you could run a fantastic team if you had unlimited cash, but what happens when you can\u2019t cover your cost? \u2014 Mike Rufail (@hastr0) January 8, 2021 \u201cOperating almost any CS team is lighting money on fire right now,\u201d hastr0 wrote just a few days before the news broke. \u201cThere are no underlying assets that support the spend where top player salaries are. I\u2019m sure you could run a fantastic team if you had unlimited cash, but what happens when you can\u2019t cover your cost?\u201d With that on the table, it\u2019s no surprise that Team Envy announced they would be officially disbanding, and placing their entire roster on the transfer list on January 11. This means that players Thomas \u2018Thomas\u2019 Utting, Nikola \u2018LEGIJA\u2019 Ninic, Michal \u2018MICHU\u2019 Muller, Bugra \u2018Calyx\u2019 Arkin, Noah \u2018Nifty\u2019 Francis, and coach Jakub \u2018kuben\u2019 Gurczynski will all have to find new teams going forward. Today we bid farewell to Envy CS:GO. Thank you to all of our players & staff for your time and dedication while on Envy. We wish you all the best in the future. \ud83d\udcdc: https:\/\/t.co\/PagAYz9WqN pic.twitter.com\/jMIAoeTF8f \u2014 ENVY (@Envy) January 11, 2021 While the news is certainly disappointing to Envy CSGO fans, hastr0 didn\u2019t rule out a return to the esport for the org in the future after a \u201chard reset.\u201d \u201cLet\u2019s be honest, we haven\u2019t performed the best in CS for a while after being former world champions with our great French rosters,\u201d Rufail wrote on Twitter after the news broke. \u201cIt was time for a hard reset and we are performing at a top level in so many other games right now.
