ENCE add arvid and Aleksib

30-8-2016 18:06

The Finnish organization ENCE announced the departure of Mikko "xartE" Välimaa and the addition of two new players: Tony "arvid" Niemelä and Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen.

Mikko "⁠xartE⁠" Välimaa was a member of ENCE since the team was founded, but after a series of disappointing individual and team performances, it was mutually decided that xartE should leave the team - allowing for new talent to come in.

The team has also been using the veteran Joona "⁠natu⁠" Leppänen as a stand-in since their star Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli left the team, which didn't help with the most recent performances. At ESEA GC they only managed one win - against the Australian team Chiefs.


xartE will be departing ENCE after a series of disappointing results

According to their press release, ENCE decided to go for a "fresh start" and fill the two spots with Tony "⁠arvid⁠" Niemelä, a former SkitLite player, and Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen, formerly of Findictus. Both players have limited international experience, but have stood in for ENCE in the past few months.

ENCE now has the following roster:

Finland Niko "⁠naSu⁠" Kovanen
Finland Miikka "⁠suNny⁠" Kemppi
Finland Juho "⁠juho⁠" Lampinen
Finland Tony "⁠arvid⁠" Niemelä
Finland Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen

The new roster will debut today at 19:00 , in a GG Masters match versus PENTA.
