Counter-Strike Team
ENCE gained international recognition in 2019, achieving the #2 rank on HLTV and winning BLAST Pro Series: Madrid 2019. The team placed 2nd in several events, including IEM Katowice Major 2019 and DreamHack Masters Dallas 2019.
In 2021, ENCE became international with a renewed coaching staff, leading to notable success, a peak rank of #7 on HLTV, and a strong performance at IEM Fall 2021, qualifying for the Major's Legends Stage.
In 2022, ENCE continued rising, returning to the #2 rank on HLTV and excelling in tournaments like ESL Pro League Season 15 and IEM Dallas 2022, winning BLAST Premier Spring EU Showdown 2022, and reaching the Semifinals at PGL Major Antwerp 2022.
Despite challenges, ENCE regained momentum in 2023, achieving deep tournament runs and winning IEM Dallas 2023, their first LAN trophy in four years.
The year 2024 saw a couple of different iterations of ENCE Counter-Strike compete. First, a Polish core, led by the legendary in-game leader Lukas "gla1ve", made a splash in the scene by making it into the IEM Katowice 2024 playoffs. Later in the year, with a much younger core including an Academy graduate, Paavo "podi" Heiskanen, the team made a championship-winning run at Elisa Masters Espoo 2024 on our home soil.
After a difficult 2025, ENCE has returned to its roots in 2026. Aleksi "allu" Jalli returned home to become the Head Coach of our new Finnish core Counter-Strike team. Our ambition is to return Finland as a prominent competitor at the elite level.
