Honestly this is a hundred times better than any "new" team we've seen in the recent times. This actually gives me hope for the scene. E: And on top of that, they are sponsored by Monster, Astro and Scuf (big in the console world). | ||

Even though CoD is a joke nowadays, it's kind of irrelevant where the organization started. They are wealthy, stable and have some serious sponsors. | ||

How does having Monster and Astro as sponsors don't make them "another random team"? Look at Razer website and look at all the team they sponsors and tell me that you know every single team in there and they most of them aren't "another random team". People who don't follow CoD (the majority of the eSport scene) have no clue who they were until they picked up ex-LDLC like I said. Sure they might be big in CoD, but CoD is a joke. I guess some people here think that being a random CoD team is as prestigious as big teams like EG and TL which is hilarious in my book.

Where did I say that they aren't wealthy, stable and have some serious sponsors (I wouldn't call that serious sponsors to be honest)? My point is, in the eSport scene, CoD is mostly considered a joke and it's just normal that most people will consider them random because most people don't follow CoD and they couldn't care less about teams competing in that game. I bet you didn't even knew who they were before this like the majority of the people. Big teams are known because they had good players in lots and/or most popular eSport titles, this isn't the case with EnVyUS, hence why I call them "random team". If they had not picked up ex-LDLC and Violet recently, nearly everyone here wouldn't had a clue on who they are. | ||

The problem is that the word "random team" has a very negative connotation, which is associated with shady business practices, scam, etc. The better word to use is "unknown team" or something along those lines. | ||

It was intended to have a negative connotation as they were a CoD team and I don't respect the game/players at all. But you're 100% right, I should've thought that some people would understand it as in "a shady team". My bad, sorry. | ||

I remember about "NAVI expands sc2" thread here. Someone where follow(ed) CS 1.6 or DotA can tell that NAVI isn't a random/unknown team. Just too many ppl are watching ONE game. | ||

CoD is definitely a dying game, and the community is pretty embarrassing as a representation of eSports... | ||
