Snappi ruled out for IEM Winter, Maden steps in for ENCE

30-11-2021 19:46

The Danish in-game leader will miss the event as he tested positive for COVID-19.

Update: Snappi has Tweeted that he hopes to join ENCE at a later portion of the tournament if he returns a negative test in time.

ENCE will be playing with a substitute at their last LAN event of the year. The Finnish organization will be without the services of the 31-year-old Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer as he tested positive for COVID-19, with his place being filled with Pavle "⁠Maden⁠" Bošković from FunPlus Phoenix.

The Montenegrin rifler is currently benched on FunPlus Phoenix, who have discontinued their CS:GO division, and will be playing his first official since losing to ENCE in the closed qualifier for this exact tournament over a month ago.

Snappi misses out on the LAN event

Despite getting a strong prospect such as Maden to stand in, losing their in-game leader for IEM Winter will be a big hit for ENCE, who have posted some worrying results recently. The international roster did well in the Challengers Stage of the Major, but got eliminated 0-3 after one-sided matches in Legends, following that up with a group stage exit from Dreamhack Open November.

IEM Winter will be their first outing in over two weeks, happening on December 2 - 12 in Stockholm, Sweden. ENCE find themselves in group B with the likes of Gambit, FaZe, and fnatic, and will face Virtus.pro in their opening match.

ENCE will use the following lineup at IEM:

Joonas "⁠doto⁠" Forss
Paweł "⁠dycha⁠" Dycha
Olek "⁠hades⁠" Miskiewicz
Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi
Pavle "⁠Maden⁠" Bošković (stand-in)

Eetu "⁠sAw⁠" Saha (coach)

WOW get well soon snappi

I am pretty sure that doto will be igl because when ENCE was planning on making new full finnish roster before going international, doto was supposed to be the igl.

2021-12-01 08:56

very interesting stand-in. Get well soon Snappi!

2021-12-01 13:31

Dark times for ENCE :( Good that atleast they took a good stand-in, but I doubt they will make it deep in this event. Not like they would've made it with Snappi tho.

2021-12-01 16:40

wdym? couldve ended up like this did hltv.org/events/5729/iem-fall-2021-europ..

2021-12-01 16:44

They were in far better form back then, rn. everyone in the team seems out of form, the only players playing well are Spinx and dycha and they aren't at their best to.
