dycha renews contract with ENCE

dycha announced his renewal in front of the Polish fans at the Spodek Arena.

Paweł "⁠dycha⁠" Dycha announced that he has renewed his commitment to ENCE for two years on the ESL broadcast before he and his teammates sat down to play their IEM Katowice 2024 quarter-final series against Falcons in front of the local fans at the Spodek Arena.

The 26-year-old has been on ENCE's books since January 2021, when he joined from Sprout. He has since put up a 1.09 rating during his tenure and helped the Finnish organization secure its first trophy since 2019 at IEM Dallas 2023.

ENCE CEO Niklas Ojalainen made a statement with the announcement. "It has been a pleasure having dycha with us for three years already," he said. "That's a big achievement in the world of esports, and we have been happy to have him.

"So when we were talking extension, it was easy to decide we wanted to have him for the future as well. I'm delighted that dycha re-signed with us and will be grinding more years to his service coin with ENCE."

dycha is the last remaining player of ENCE's most successful roster since going international after his former coach and teammates left for HEROIC and Falcons in the off-season. Now alongside a Polish core under the orders of Jakub "⁠kuben⁠" Gurczyński and with Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander as an in-game leader, ENCE have already surpassed expectations by qualifying for the IEM Katowice playoffs.

"When I joined ENCE, I knew that we could achieve a lot and that I would develop a lot as a player," dycha said about his signing in a statement released by ENCE. "More than three years have passed since the first official. A lot has happened during this period, and the lineup has also changed, but I'm still in it, which makes me happy.

"I am a part of this organization and I want to continue building it. There were smaller and bigger successes, such as IEM Dallas, and now the dream promotion to Spodek. Extending the contract was a sure move for me. We're going for more!"

After their ongoing run in Poland, ENCE are slated to fight for a spot at the Major when they travel to Romania to play the PGL Major Copenhagen Europe RMR B on February 19-22.
