The exact reason behind the change was not revealed by either the team or Spongey?, who has now returned to free agency after spending the last nine months at Triumph. During his stint, he played a crucial role in the squad’s success at the ESEA MDL Season 33 North America Finals.

This roster change comes less than two weeks after Triumph rebuilt their CS:GO esports team with the signing of Erik “penny” Penny and Kaleb “moose” Jayne, who replaced the recently departed Rahul “curry” Nemani and Michael “Grim” Mazuryk.

Ryann reunites with his former teammate moose, with whom he played at Team Envy before they both were released in early August. Even though ryann did not see much success at Envy, he has already left a mark in the CS:GO scene and turned many heads with his performances for Swole Patrol, Gorilla Gang and Team Singularity between 2018 and late 2019.

Some of his most notable accomplishments include third-fourth place at ESEA Season 28 Premier Division North America with Gorilla Gang, as well as WESG 2018 USA and National Championship Series Major Chicago titles along with a top-four finish at Mythic Cup #4 with Team Singularity.

Despite his success throughout 2018-2019, ryann’s marks dropped significantly after joining Team Envy. He averaged a 0.92 match rating during his 11-month stint with the Dallas-based organisation, but that figure dropped to 0.62 across the last three months – a far cry from his 1.07 average at Team Singularity.

Besides reuniting with moose, ryann will also have a chance to once more compete under the guidance of Triumph’s in-game leader, Alan “?Shakezullah?” Hardeman, with whom he played at Singularity between March and October 2019. Shakezullah? later transitioned to coaching with Ben’s Anime Team and Chaos EC before he returned to the battlefield in February 2020.

Triumph are currently competing at ESL Pro League Season 12 North America, where eight of the region’s best CS:GO teams are fighting over the largest slice of US $225,000 and valuable ranking points. It marks ryann’s first S-Tier tournament since he crashed out of FLASHPOINT Season 1 in 11th place with Envy.

Ryann made his debut for Triumph this Thursday when they faced Gen.G in the opening round of the ESL Pro League. While that ended with Gen.G winning 16-14 on Inferno and 16-10 on Mirage, ryann ended the series as the second-best player on his team with a 0.99 rating and -4 KD.

Triumph’s next match is scheduled for Wednesday, September 9 at 12:00 PDT, when they will face FURIA in the second round of the ESL Pro League.

GEN.G vs TRIUMPH CS:GO BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

GEN.G vs TRIUMPH ESL ONE PRO LEAGUE SEASON 12 NORTH AMERICA BETTING PREVIEW

Gen.G and Triumph will meet for only the third time in history when they face off in the first week of ESL Pro League Season 12 North America this Thursday.

Like most top-tier teams that are participating in the ESL Pro League, Gen.G recently attended ESL One Cologne 2020 Online North America as their first tournament since the player break. Unfortunately for Damian “daps” Steele and company, they suffered an early elimination from the competition after losing to 100 Thieves (1-2) and FURIA (0-2).

Gen.G’s performances at ESL One Cologne were rather uninspiring. While some of their maps were close – namely their 14-16 loss on Train against FURIA – they choked in crucial moments and dropped games they should have won.

Prior to the break, Gen.G took a swing at cs_summit 6 Online North America, where they made it to the grand finals but went down 0-3 to North America’s top-ranked CS:GO team, Evil Geniuses.

Triumph made a rare venture into the spotlight at the start of August when their star player, Michael “Grim” Wince, signed for Team Liquid as a replacement for Nicholas “nitr0” Cannella. They also lost Rahul “curry” Nemani to Rugratz, but the roster was soon made whole again with Erik “penny” Penny and Kaleb “moose” Jayne joining Gabe “Spongey” Greiner, Paytyn “Junior” Johnson and IGL Alan “Shakezullah” Hardeman.

In some ways, Triumph’s recent signings have delivered more questions than answers. Penny is still a relative unknown in the CS:GO esports scene, while moose has not achieved any notable results since his stint at eUnited in 2018.

At ESL One Cologne, Triumph were seeded in a tough group alongside Cloud9, Team Liquid and Evil Genuises. As expected, they failed to make it out alive, losing both of their fixtures against Evil Genuises (0-2) and Cloud9 (1-2).

While Triumph managed to steal one map off C9, even that minor success was quickly overshadowed by 4-16 and 9-16 losses on Overpass and Inferno respectively. They failed to break double digits in either of their two maps against EG, although that is to be expected when facing one of the best teams in the world.

It’s worth mentioning that penny and moose held their own against Cloud9, as both came close to reaching a 1.00 rating.

GEN.G vs TRIUMPH ESL ONE PRO LEAGUE SEASON 12 NORTH AMERICA BETTING PREDICTIONS

Gen.G are priced as massive favourites for this match, and we don’t have a problem with that. Even though both teams were poor at ESL One Cologne, there is no disputing that daps and co. are the stronger team in this matchup.

The gaping chasm in quality and experience between the two rosters is only made wider by the fact Triumph recently parted ways with their best player. Also, it’s hard to imagine they can outsmart Gen.G on the more tactical maps.

These online fixtures often result in upsets, but we are confident Gen.G can sweep the Grim-less Triumph.
