29-11-2023 13:09

ENCE mustered just two T-side rounds as they fell foul of HAVU in their opening best-of-one.

ENCE struggled in their first match without Snappi and sAw

Home team HAVU have spoiled ENCE's debut with Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander and Jakub "⁠kuben⁠" Gurczyński with a 13-6 win on Nuke in the opening match of Elisa Masters Espoo.

It was gla1ve's first game on CS2, and first official in more than five months, and he and new coach kuben struggled to find solutions in the face of HAVU's stalwart defense.

The Finns, buoyed by a 5-0 start, ran away to 10 rounds on their CT side and the gap ultimately proved too much. ENCE's individuals struggled for impact, with Paweł "⁠dycha⁠" Dycha's lurks Outside failing and Guy "⁠NertZ⁠" Iluz ending the game with just four frags.

Questions will be asked about the veto, where ENCE opted to ban both Overpass and Anubis — maps HAVU have failed to get a single win on in the last three months.
