ENVY Confirms Competitive Pause

North American organisation ENVY has announced that it is pausing all competitive operations in Marvel Rivals, marking another major departure from the game’s esports scene.

The update was shared on social media, where ENVY thanked its roster for their commitment and passion throughout the 2025 season. The organisation said that all players are now free to explore new opportunities with other teams.

In its statement, ENVY wrote that it hopes to return once the Marvel Rivals competitive ecosystem finds firmer ground, noting that it is proud of what the roster achieved together during its time in the scene.

Looking Back At ENVY’s 2025 Season

While the decision to step back was unexpected by fans, ENVY leaves behind a solid competitive run. The team found success with a win at The Shroud Gauntlet and later secured second place at the Mid Season Finals, establishing itself as one of the standout squads in the game’s inaugural circuit.

The announcement brings their 2025 campaign to an end and marks the start of a transition period for the roster as players begin searching for new organisations.

A Growing Trend In The Scene

ENVY is not alone in reassessing its place in Marvel Rivals esports. Shortly after the Ignite Grand Finals wrapped up, Sentinels, another major Americas competitor and the Ignite Stage 1 champion, also revealed that it would be pausing its involvement in the game.

At the same time, some organisations like Citadel Gaming have reaffirmed their commitment to the title, hoping the scene stabilises as developers chart the road ahead.

Concerns About The Future

The competitive future of Marvel Rivals remains unclear, and players have increasingly voiced frustration online. Many point to limited communication from developer NetEase Games, while others argue that the current financial structure does not provide enough incentive for teams to remain long term.

With multiple top organisations stepping away, fans and players are waiting to see how NetEase will address these concerns and support the game’s esports landscape moving forward.

What Comes Next

For now, ENVY’s departure adds another layer of uncertainty as the scene enters the off season. The organisation has left the door open for a return, but the next steps will depend heavily on how Marvel Rivals’ competitive ecosystem evolves.

As more details emerge, the community will be watching closely to see whether the game can regain momentum in 2026.
