Everything about betting on Team Envy

You might wonder who’s bankrolling one of North America’s top eSports outfits. At the helm is Rufail, backed by strategic investor Ken Hersh of Hersh Interactive Group, plus a pro poker champ and some heavyweight Texas and national investors. Together they’ve turned Team Envy into a poa force with major sponsorships from Acer’s Predator Gaming, Corsair, Jack in the Box and Jack’s Links. This savvy mix of backers keeps Envy at the forefront of esports gaming.

Team Envy competes, streams, and creates content across multiple games. The franchise has eSport teams in Rocket League, Call of Duty, Overwatch, Valorant and Super Smash Bros. Envy Gaming was named the world’s eighth most valuable eSports organisation by Forbes in 2019, proof that their mix of talent, branding and esports tournaments expertise works.

Call of Duty Action

Team Envy is one of the longest-running and most visible call of duty game outfits around. Lately they’ve struggled to lock down a consistent roster that scores trophies, thanks to frequent player moves and underwhelming runs. But with big names like Scump and Shotzzy, you know they’ll keep fighting for the win.

Halo Battles

When Halo Infinite relaunched, Envy snapped up one of only nine franchise spots. They even pushed their own Spartan and weapon skins—fans could cop the limited-edition gear and rep Envy in-game.

Valorant Matches

Envy’s NA Valorant squad now competes under the OpTic Gaming banner, racking up over KSh 32,467,532.47 in prize money. If you’re into valorant mobile or checking valorant ranks, these guys are key players.

Rocket League Goals

After snapping up Northern Gaming’s roster in 2017, Team Envy officially joined Rocket League in 2018, paused in 2019, then made a comeback in 2020 under new ownership. If you’re hunting rocket league download tips or tracking rocket league ranks, keep an eye on mist and Turbopolsa.

OpTic merged with Envy in 2021, and H3CZ joined the ownership group. Between them they’ve racked up 47 titles and over 24 million followers on social. OpTic Texas will battle in the 2022 Call of Duty League, aiming to recapture the crown won by Dallas Empire in 2020.
