ENCE bow out of Flashpoint 3 closed qualifier

28-4-2021 01:16

Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli's side were the first top-30 team to be eliminated from the tournament.

ENCE were eliminated on the first day of play in the Flashpoint 3 closed qualifier following a heart-breaking 2-1 defeat to DBL PONEY in the lower bracket of the tournament. The result piles further pressure on the international team, who have endured a slump in form since their playoff run in ESL Pro League 13.

ENCE, who had lost to Polish side Anonymo in the opening round, took the lead in the series with a comfortable win on Dust2 but then dropped the pace, failing to overcome the French team, headlined by two-time Major champion Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt, in the two maps that followed.

ENCE have been eliminated after just two matches

That was the sole upset in the first round of the lower bracket, which saw SKADE and AGO, two other top-30 teams, stave off elimination after defeating GameAgents and Lilmix, respectively.

Over in the upper bracket, the most surprising result was Anonymo's clean victory over Dignitas, with Kamil "⁠KEi⁠" Pietkun (1.52 rating) leading the charge for the Polish team. HAVU breezed past Endpoint, conceding only ten rounds to the British team throughout the series, while Complexity, the highest-ranked team in attendance, required three maps to beat a stubborn Sprout team in a match that was dominated by Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke, who put in a 1.66 rating.

The final match of the day saw MOUZ edge past Movistar Riders in a three-map affair. Both teams will now get some well-earned rest (this was the fourth match of the day for Christopher "⁠dexter⁠" Nong's troops, the third for his opponents) before facing off again on Wednesday in the IEM Summer closed qualifier.

Latest results:

Complexity 2-1 Sprout
Anonymo 2-0 Dignitas
MOUZ 2-1 Movistar Riders
HAVU 2-0 Endpoint

SKADE 2-0 GameAgents
DBL PONEY 2-1 ENCE
AGO 2-0 Lilmix
Tricked 2-1 Sangal

The qualifier will resume on Wednesday with the following six matches:

Upper Bracket:

Complexity vs. Anonymo
MOUZ vs. HAVU

Lower Bracket:

Endpoint vs. SKADE
Movistar Riders vs. DBL PONEY
Dignitas vs. AGO
Sprout vs. Tricked

Ence disband, they won't win anything with allu in this lineup

2021-04-28 01:21

Did u expect ENCE to have success with pug FPL players like spinx, dycha, doto? Please guys, be honest ; this team don't have future since 1st day

2021-04-28 01:22

This roster have potential but problem is how uneven their results are, especially Allu and Snappi. Spinx and Dycha are really promising and Doto is great support.

2021-04-28 01:43

Main problem is that dycha kinda stopped fragging. You can easily compare his stats in sprout and his stats in ence. I hope Paweł will unlock and will get his form back

2021-04-28 01:59

Top fraggers need igl. Its currently snappi throwing nades dycha go die first and snappi bait.

2021-04-28 02:29

i think allusnake said something bad to dycha during bootcamp and now pawel is not feeling thank you

2021-04-28 08:27

fak :(

2021-04-28 09:39

HLTV will generate its own language soon xd

2021-04-28 14:43

Doto is not a GREAT support. Hes fine i guess, but tier 2 player max.

2021-04-28 10:42

snappi and allu are the problems. Also dychaa i would give chance with real igl and remove allu. Also doto is not fpl pugger, hes been in pro teams for years and has under 100 fpl games. Doto to havu could be nice but jemi has been better lately so i wouldnt rush with it yet.

2021-04-28 02:30

doto to havu? Are you tryign to ruin the team :D Doto and sAw were the two weakest links in HAVU. They either botted out getting a combined 20 kills or they played "decent".

The saddest thing is that ENCE had all the talent needed. Giving up a top 5 IGL in AleksiB was of course a disaster blunder to start with, but Aerial and xSeven are without a doubt at least tier 1.5 level if not tier 1. We'll see how things will turn out with sergej, most likely he also will, like the other players, return to top form after being removed from the presence of allu and the ENCE Organization. A similar resurgence might happen with sunny but I am more skeptical about that. Long story short, natu & co pissed all that talent into the wind for one guy. It's truly a sad story.

I mean havu is pretty much the perfect example, xseven and Aerial have been popping off since they left ence

2021-04-28 03:20

i watched a few last rounds in nuke, imo bad calls from ence and frenchies were better shooters, they won with pistols and ence had full buy. ence just bad mens

saying online cs is such a weak excuse the tier 1 teams should find online easier since they do well in lan infront of 20k plus fans

2021-04-28 12:48

Allu is a tactical genius. He is best known for his signature tactic ”going B, but then benching AleksiB”. He also has a second little known tactic of ”going A, but then going home without any wins”. What an absolute legend. Top 3 IGL 4 sure.

2021-04-28 05:06

I am glad aleksib departed early and later the other 3 members of original roster also left leaving the only guy behind who is to be blamed for the shitshow this team has become
