Envy have announced that they have released their Counter-Strike players with immediate effect.

The decision, which also applies to EnVyUs' academy roster, follows a series of lacklustre results from the main team, who were only able to win one event in the last 12 months, DreamHack Open Atlanta.

EnVyUs expanded into Counter-Strike in 2015 with the signing of LDLC's roster and quickly became a powerhouse in the scene, winning several international titles, including the DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca Major.

But in February 2017, the North American organisation lost the core of their team to G2 and were unsuccessful in their attempt to build another line-up capable of challenging for titles. With Christophe "⁠SIXER⁠" Xia and Alexandre "⁠xms⁠" Forté as stand-ins, the team made their last appearance under EnVyUs at the CS:GO Asia Championships, finishing in third-fourth place.

“We have enjoyed working with each and every player, coach and manager involved with the Envy CS:GO and Academy teams in Europe these last four years," Envy Gaming CEO Mike Rufail said in a statement.

"A piece of our heart will always be with the players and fans in France that helped us grow the popularity of competitive Counter-Strike across the globe.

"I am extremely proud of our teams’ accomplishments and wish our players nothing but success as they find homes with other CS:GO organizations.

"Team Envy would not be what it is today without our history in Counter-Strike, and I look forward to sharing our plans in CS:GO with the fans in the future."

In a press release, EnVyUs revealed that they are ready to shift their focus, with the organisation now looking to build "a competitive Counter-Strike presence for Team Envy in North America."

The players have not yet revealed whether they will stick together or go their separate ways. Earlier on Wednesday, Fabien "⁠kioShiMa⁠" Fiey wrote that he will soon release a statement to explain the team's situation.

The following players have now been released from their contracts by EnVyUs:
