The announcement highlights the collaboration between Dean and Mike, who aim to push the boundaries of esports. By joining forces, they plan to expand opportunities for players and fans while strengthening engagement across the gaming ecosystem. This merger signals a fresh direction for ENVY, blending its past success with a renewed focus on inclusivity and development.

ENVY, one of North America’s most recognizable esports organizations, has a rich history spanning multiple titles, including Call of Duty, Counter-Strike, Overwatch, Rocket League, and VALORANT. Over the years, the organization has secured numerous championships, including Dallas Empire’s 2020 Call of Duty League title and Dallas Fuel’s 2022 Overwatch League championship. However, after merging with OpTic Gaming in 2021, the Envy brand was phased out.

Meanwhile, Native Gaming has built a reputation for creating pathways for underrepresented communities in esports. Their commitment to representation and inclusivity has helped elevate Indigenous gamers and provide them with access to the competitive scene. By merging with Envy, the organization gains a new platform to continue its mission while integrating with a globally recognized brand.

The merger aims to open new doors for players, fans, and the gaming community worldwide, setting the stage for the next evolution of Envy and Native Gaming in esports.
