As always, when a French shuffle takes place, one of the organizations will suffer. While G2 didn’t take any EnVyUs’ player this time, the blue army is still in shambles. Internal problems are plaguing amongst all players and the organization.

However, as G2 has closed their transfer window, it’s time for EnVyUs rebuild themselves. This week we saw EnVyUs lead by ‘kioshima’ and maybe this is the much-needed brink of hope.

Then, what would be the best squad for EnVyUs considering the rumors of the past couple of weeks?

EnVyUs is dead, some might stick together for slots but Happy won’t play with them anymore as far as I know. So yeah, probably gonna be a mix between old EnVyUs, xms, sixer and the Lambert project with mistou & polox. At least for now. Nothing is decided, it changes everyday. https://t.co/V7AWATiYCR — neL (@neLendirekt) June 5, 2018

We know that their previous IGL ‘Happy’ won’t be playing with them anymore and NBK has gone international.

Knowing this, let’s build a promising and possible squad that will make EnVyUs a threat once again.

Lead by example – kioShiMa

The hardest part of building a hypothetical French second-best team is picking the IGL. Right now, we have Ex6tenz, NBK, Lambert and Happy trademarked as leaders. Ex6tenz is currently with G2 and certainly won’t leave for EnVyUs.

Considering what we said above about NBK and Happy, we are left with Lambert. He isn’t really an option unless the team is really looking to take on a dangerous bet. Lambert has been stuck with EnVyUs Academy for long time and without proving himself worthy of a top tier team.

KioShiMa has never taken on such a position until this week when he was tasked with the leading duties. Kio does have a lot of experience, and his more supportive approach makes him the perfect IGL for a team who is discovering themselves.

If Kio is to accept this role, we could be seeing a great start for this team. Shall it not workout though and they may look at the possibility of going international for a proper IGL.

The Predator without home – apEX

It’s hard to see a player with the potential that apEX has being out of the supposed French super-team. apEX did great in the past year and while he had his bad moments in 2018, he remains a decent elite player.

His aggressive entry-fragging style is what makes him so dangerous when on point. It’s even more deadly when combined with other aggressive players. Back last year, apEX and KennyS formed a duo that caused a threat to opponents.

In a more free-style environment as kio would create, apEX would shine. Both sides in-game would benefit immensely from apEX raw skill, especially the CT-side. ApEX by himself already makes this supposed EnVy a serious threat for the top 10-15.

More importantly, apEX can be a great asset as the maps played. His style makes him a carry player in Overpass and Mirage, and even in Cache.

Taking a bet on ZywOo

When talking about promising talent yet to be picked by a top organization, ZywOo comes to mind. The 17-year-old French player has impressed everyone with his AWPing skills and he could be the star of this lineup.

After refusing many offers to focus on his studies, finally by the end of Summer ZywOo will be available. While it’s still a bet, it’s one that comes with possible rewards worth fighting for. There’s no other AWPer skilled like ZyWoo available in the French scene.

It’s hard to say that ZyWoo style would mix well with apEX. He has a quieter style in the sense that he takes less risky peaks and fights for trading kills. When he needs to change things and go more aggressive, he doesn’t fail to impress though.

Another chance for ScreaM

The past few years hasn’t the best year for the Belgium player ‘ScreaM’ and 2018 hasn’t been any better up until now. This week we saw a renovated ScreaM that confirmed one thing – Happy was limiting him.

Back in WESG 2017 World Finals, ScreaM put on a performance like he did back in his prime. Coincidently, he wasn’t playing under Happy. It’s clear that a less structured team would do wonders for the player to get back on track now.

He would be another risk for his team but observing him playing at the CS:GO Asia Championship proofs he has talent. Not only this – he is used to playing with kioShiMa. This would help with the initial days of the possible squad that is being built here.

The Fifth

It’s hard to pick a fifth player for this lineup. RpK, the ideal pick is reportedly looking to retire from professional play. hAdji didn’t impress and nor sixer or xms are really capable of keeping up with the rest.

Although, hAdji will probably be the fifth player on a trial period. If he manages to improve himself, he will be the piece to complete over this puzzle.

If RpK decides to keep playing he would also be a very interesting pick. Even knowing that his performances have tanked in the last couple of months, he’s still a valuable asset with his experience. He could take a more supportive role and be the second-caller helping KioShiMa in the tactical side of the game.

We could also make a case for AmaNEk in this team but he seems to fit in well in LDLC for now. Even better, if kioshima leadership doesn’t work, the fifth player could be a potential international IGL.

Can this squad come true?

We are all aware of the relationship between the French players from past interviews and insider reports. This lineup shouldn’t have any issues however, do apEX or ZywOo trust this project?

It’s not like they have much options, if they wish to remain in a French speaking team. This team have taken a few risks but all worth it, if ZywOo and apEX work out.

For now, it’s only wishful thoughts but if EnVyUs wants to be relevant once again, this is the way to go.

What’s are your thoughts? Should EnVyUs try go international right now for an IGL? Is Happy Scream’s kryptonite? Tell us what how your French dream-squad for EnVyUs would be!
