ENCE land ex-SkitLite quartet

ENCE have formally unveiled their new CS:GO squad, featuring four ex-members of SkitLite.

The Finnish organisation had been without a team since December, when they parted ways with the entire squad following a disappointing year in which a first-place finish at the IeSF World Championship was the only major achievement.

ENCE had originally planned to announce their new team before Assembly Winter, but they decided that "it was better to take a little longer and make the best decision" instead of being rushed into finding a roster.


arvid re-signs with ENCE 

Tony "⁠arvid⁠" Niemelä, who spent the last four months of 2016 on ENCE's roster, returns to the organisation to play alongside four up-and-coming players: Ville "⁠rEplan⁠" Ijäs, Joel "⁠joel b⁠" Borgström, Mikael "⁠ociriz⁠" Karkinen and Simo "⁠Leaf⁠" Mykkänen, all of whom represented Finland in the King of Nordic cups and attended ASUS ROG Winter under SkitLite.

"We are extremely excited and proud about joining and representing ENCE as they are the number one organization in Finland," Niemelä told ENCE's website.

"Working with ENCE opens up a lot of possibilities, and with their support, I believe our improvement will be even faster and more efficient than it was before.

"We will do our very best to fulfil everyone’s high expectations towards ENCE’s CS team. We aim to establish ourselves as the number one team in Finland and gain international recognition.

"We are also eager to prove that there in fact exists talent in Finland outside of the already widely known teams."

ENCE now have the following roster:

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

Also some Finns just have swedish surnames because no one in the family bothered to change it to Finnish during the 1800s when people started to take Finnish surnames.

:Dddd. 100% joke-team. Maybe even more than the previous lineup, which at least won Jakarta-Major. Only noobs in this team who are getting pwned in pugs. And will be pwned in matches too.
