Basically i was right, envy ruined rankers and are a whole different, incredibly mid, bottom 4 team. No partnership, no future, only ruined careers and failed revivals.
And for all you copy pasta drones, at least P0PPIN realized his dream, assembled a roster and earned his spot in tier 1. What happened next is unfortunate but no one can take away what he achieved.

Chronically online loser, you have 5309 posts on this platform only spreading hate. If you hate so many things in this world at some point you must look inward. You hate yourself and the life you live so instead of sitting in that feeling you constantly project those feelings to the world and things around you. I know you haven’t made a single notable achievement in your life so you cannot begin to understand what it is like at the highest level of anything. Usually if you have no understanding of something the best way to proceed is to keep quiet.

true lol but jokes aside envy fucked up. they destroyed the playstyle which got them into t1 but p0ppin will always get the hate in the future because he was the one taking the bullets not the coach or the management

First, I want to thank @Envy for giving us this opportunity. Their signing of @RANKERSvlr really was a dream come true. Anything we asked of them, they gave us. They put us in the perfect environment to win, both last year and this year. I truly appreciate everyone there.

Now for the main course. This year’s result was the culmination of a lot of bad decisions from a lot of different parties, so please don’t send hate toward anyone. It was a tale as old as time; what started as a couple of friends enjoying a game they loved slowly became a corporate work environment. So many of the things that led us to win last year got changed under the pretense of “this is tier one, we can’t do things the same way.” This slowly soured me. I was complicit, I let these things change, and that’s one of the biggest lessons I learned this year: if you aren’t adamant about your opinion, it’ll get overlooked. Keep pushing until you get what you need.

Eventually, months went by and I lost the passion I once had for the game and became a bad teammate. I didn’t even realize it in the moment, but I stopped giving it my all, because I was playing someone else’s game. I gave up the IGL role since I couldn’t see my style working with the system we were running. I started the season with high hopes, expecting to just focus on my mechanics. Then I was asked to make mid-round calls around a philosophy that I have no experience playing with. That was the end of me.

Then there was a saving grace: Eggsterr’s last game. A meaningless game for us, but a crucial one for MIBR, they needed it to secure the first seed in playoffs. So I proposed something -> put Eggsterr on Yoru and let me call Rankers style for his last game. With some reluctance, everyone accepted.

Domination. We broke the record for the fastest win in VCT Americas and this time, we were on the winning side of it. For just a moment, that spark came back. I had hope; I thought maybe the team would finally see eye to eye with me. Somehow beating the first seed in our group 13-1 and 13-3 couldn’t mend what had already been broken (even now, that’s mind boggling to me). Then EWC came, and I wasn’t given all the pieces I’d asked for. We lost, ending any dream I had left for ENVY.

To the fans: thank you for the endless support, even with our abysmal results you guys kept sending positivity, you guys are the best. Hopefully the path @Envy chose was the right one. Only time will tell…

Chronically online loser ENVY, you have 9500 roster moves in VCT Americas, only ruining teams. If you ruin so many teams in Americas at some point you must look inward. You hate ENVY and the life you live so instead of sitting in that feeling you constantly ruin rosters. I know you haven’t made a single good roster change in your life so you cannot begin to understand what it is like being a good team. Usually if you have no understanding of something the best way to proceed is to disband.

hey man has he reminded you latley that he played in apac and learned how to play the game differently and see the game differently, all p0ppin can do is point heads and click which doesn't get you very far. Whereas rossy sees the game as a chess board and he runs every iteration of rotates interactions and outcomes physically on the ceiling of riot games arena, like the girl from queens gambit when she got high on her orphan meds. Or doctor strange

Suffice to say ROSSY has it from here buddy xDDDDD

LMAO exactly what I have been sayin, they wanted poppin and eggster to play in a "fundamental" playstyle that they had no experience in, unlike other players/teams who usually make their way into T1 playing like that, poppin and egg legit ran it through the T2 directly from ranked.
