Envy Could Return to Counter-Strike Esports with 3DMAX Roster
Team Envy, a Counter-Strike organization that exited the competitive scene in January 2021, is reportedly planning a return to the game’s esports ecosystem. According to a report from Sheep Esports, Envy intends to re-enter Counter-Strike by acquiring and absorbing the current 3DMAX roster.
Envy’s previous tenure in Counter-Strike spanned over a decade, during which the organization managed several French-speaking players who established notable careers in esports. However, the team’s final years were marked by diminishing competitive success, with no substantial tournament victories achieved before the organization’s departure.
The proposed move would bring 3DMAX—a roster that has recently weathered months of organizational turmoil—under the Envy banner. This acquisition would represent a significant development in the competitive Counter-Strike landscape, potentially offering stability and resources to players seeking organizational backing.
While specific details regarding roster composition, management structure, and timeline for the return remain limited in available reports, the potential reentry of a historically established organization like Envy signals continued interest in Counter-Strike’s competitive ecosystem from established esports entities.
