The 2025 CS2 season was a mix of highs and lows. However, struggling to qualify for Tier-1 LANs and missing the Major, a lineup restructuring became necessary. To meet these targets in 2026, we are introducing changes to elevate our competitive level.
“2025 was a tough year for us. We had some glimmers of potential, but were never able to fully capitalize on them. With our ambition level, it’s pretty clear that changes must be made for 2026. Our goal is still to get back to the Majors and T1 LAN circuit.”
- Niklas "Willkey" Ojalainen, General Manager of ENCE
2025 was a year of many hardships for ENCE CS2.
F1KU & kRaSnaL join the ENCE CS2 main roster
As per our announcement of parting ways with Ville "myltsi" Vilkman and Rigon "rigoN" Gashi, new faces to our CS2 roster for the upcoming 2026 season were needed. We are now happy to announce the two new joining players, the Polish duo of Maciej "F1KU" Miklas and Szymon "kRaSnaL" Mrozek.
The full ENCE CS2 roster for 2026:
Viktor "sdy" Orudzhev
Paavo "podi" Heiskanen
Ryan "Neityu" Aubry
Maciej "F1KU" Miklas
Szymon "kRaSnaL" Mrozek
Niclas "enkay J" Krumhorn (Head Coach)
Carmine "Fisic0" Lorusso (Analyst)
“I am extremely thrilled to be working with F1KU & kRaSnaL as both of them have a substantial amount of experience and slot perfectly into our team role-wise. Furthermore, their understanding and vision of the game align quite well with ours.”
- Niclas "enkay J" Krumhorn, Head Coach of ENCE CS2
Maciej "F1KU" Miklas
The Polish 22-year-old, F1KU, is best known for his tenures with AGO and OG, and most recently with Wildcard. As a highly adaptable team player, F1KU will fit into the anchor/lurker role.

“There’s a reason why Maciej was on two of his former teams for three years. His character, loyalty, understanding of the game, as well as his raw skill make him a very valuable asset to our team”, Niclas “enkay J” Krumhorn adds about adding F1KU into the ENCE CS2 roster.
Szymon "kRaSnaL" Mrozek
Completing the roster, we have another Polish 22-year-old, kRaSnaL. Joining the roster, KRaSnaL reunites with some old friends – his old Monte teammate, sdy, and his old AGO teammate, F1KU. kRaSnaL is an aggressive rifler who will be taking over the entry fragger role.

ENCE CS2 Head Coach Niclas “enkayJ” Krumhorn reveals that “kRaSnal has been on our radar for quite some time,” and when asked to specify why, adds “His key attributes as a player are his firepower, fearless playstyle, versatility, mechanics, and sheer endless hunger to improve day in and day out.”
The revamped roster is starting its season with a bootcamp at ENCE HomeBase straight away, and has its debut in BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 1 starting on January 13th.
