ENCE release squad

ENCE have announced that they have dispensed with the services of their CS:GO team.

In a statement, ENCE boss Juha "⁠aNGeldusT⁠" Kurppa justified the move with the "lack of drive and motivation within the team to achieve the expected levels" set out by the organisation.

After parting ways with their previous team at the end of 2016, ENCE made another foray into Counter-Strike in February by signing four members of SkitLite, who were joined by Tony "⁠arvid⁠" Niemelä.

arvid & co are released by ENCE

While playing under ENCE's banner, the team struggled to make their mark on European Counter-Strike, with their only offline appearance, at LanTrek, ending in a disappointing 9th-12th placed finish.

"After trying out numerous alternatives, the team and organisation felt that the situation wasn’t providing the right results and thus we decided to part ways," aNGeldusT added.

"ENCE still strives for Professional eSports in the Nordics, and we will continue to spearhead that movement in the future.

"Rather than counting out CSGO, we are re-focusing our efforts to find the best match for our organization and a benchmark for Finnish CS, the way it’s meant to be."

The following players are now free agents:

Finland Tony "⁠arvid⁠" Niemelä
Finland Ville "⁠rEplan⁠" Ijäs
Finland Joel "⁠joel b⁠" Borgström
Finland Mikael "⁠ociriz⁠" Karkinen
Finland Simo "⁠Leaf⁠" Mykkänen

hahaha ence management fucked up because they were unable to make changes when xarte clearly underperformed by a huge margin. If management would have been competent, who knows if ence lineup actually had a chance to be top10 squad. No more ez4ence.

I agree, they had everything they needed. Stonde as AWP, allu Sec AWP/rifle, and SuNny. That was so good core they would have only needed couple players around them.
