French veteran Christophe "SIXER" Xia will be EnVyUs' fifth player at the WESG World Finals, HLTV.org has learned.

The 26-year-old, who was moved to EnVyUs' academy team last month, will replace Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom, who is ineligible to compete for the French side at the WESG event under the tournament's single-nationality rule and will instead feature for a Belgium mix led by Kévin "⁠Ex6TenZ⁠" Droolans.

Envy qualified for the WESG World Finals after placing 5th-8th at the Europe Finals, in Barcelona, which they attended with Fabien "⁠kioShiMa⁠" Fiey as a stand-in.

SIXER will fill in for EnVyUs in Haikou

In the post-Major roster shuffle, Envy signed kioShiMa from FaZe and promoted Ali "⁠hAdji⁠" Haïnouss from the academy team, replacing Alexandre "⁠xms⁠" Forté and Christophe "⁠SIXER⁠" Xia. The changes came as a result of a run of poor form that saw Vincent "⁠Happy⁠" Schopenhauer's men win just one event, DreamHack Open Atlanta, in 2017 after losing the core of their lineup to G2.

EnVyUs Academy currently sit seventh in ESEA MDL with a 6-3 record, with SIXER averaging a 1.08 rating.

Envy have been drawn in Group E for the WESG World Finals, alongside Bravado, Ukraine and Viva Algeria. The French team will attend the event with:

France Cédric "⁠RpK⁠" Guipouy
France Ali "⁠hAdji⁠" Haïnouss
France Fabien "⁠kioShiMa⁠" Fiey
