Goofy leaves ENCE, announces break from competition

19-9-2024 17:33

The Polish player is taking some time off to rest and focus on his health.

Goofy leaves ENCE after almost ten months

ENCE have announced that Krzysztof "⁠Goofy⁠" Górski is no longer part of their Counter-Strike team, with the Polish player's contract having been terminated by mutual consent.

On X, Goofy revealed that he will take a "short break from competitive play," admitting that the recent months "have been very challenging for me."

"I felt that my body is exhausted after a few years of playing without any breaks," Goofy wrote. "I was thinking a lot about my decision, and I’ve also seen examples of the young players that finished their careers too early due to burnout they suffered.

"I love Counter-Strike, and I believe there are many years left of me competing. However, to make it happen, I need to take care of myself.

"I will use that time to focus on my health, and hopefully you’ll see me back in action in the foreseeable future."

Goofy had been on ENCE's books since December 2023, when the Finnish organization acquired the core of 9INE to fill the voids created by the departures of Álvaro "⁠SunPayus⁠" García, Pavle "⁠Maden⁠" Bošković and Guy "⁠NertZ⁠" Iluz.

ENCE name enkay J new head coach

The team surpassed most people's expectations when it reached the playoffs at IEM Katowice, but results since then have been inconsistent. ENCE recently failed to qualify for the Europe RMR and crashed out of ESL Pro League 20 in last place after losing to Liquid, RED Canids and ATOX.

Goofy's departure is the second change to ENCE's roster this month. Ahead of the team's Pro League campaign, the Finnish organization named Niclas "⁠enkay J⁠" Krumhorn as the new head coach following Jakub "⁠kuben⁠" Gurczyński's benching.

ENCE have one month to prepare for their next LAN event, Elisa Masters Espoo, an eight-team tournament featuring $200,000 in prize money. The Finnish tournament will take place from October 16-20.

With Goofy's departure, ENCE are now:

Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander
Kacper "⁠Kylar⁠" Walukiewicz
Viktor "⁠sdy⁠" Orudzhev
Paavo "⁠podi⁠" Heiskanen

Niclas "⁠enkay J⁠" Krumhorn (coach)

Jakub "⁠kuben⁠" Gurczyński (benched coach)

Probably after Elisa Masters. It’s the only LAN they have left.

2024-09-19 18:35

Take care of ones health is never sad. W for goofy.

1 down 1 to go

good one down, 4 more and ence can have a chance of achieving something

now gla1ve

sadge, he's been underperforming but still find it sad to see him go

2024-09-19 17:36

-goofy before -glaive? jesus, Ence is done

did you read the article? :D he wanted to leave to take time for himself and focus on his health...

do you think he would be focussing on his health if Ence was performing good? It's a red herring

Do you think replacing glaive right now would do anything? They have no firepower so replacing your IGL isn't going to magically going to do anything with the same roster. Goofy had been playing just as bad as glave recently and isn't even the IGL. Seasons about over if this team is thinking long term... no point in blowing it up completely right now.

if my team isn't winning jack, then I would start restructuring from the top. Coach + IGL are the first ones to go. If the problem persists then it's far easier to conclude who and why.

They benched the coach because they think the vision of the igl fits more. Give Gla1ve a better team and see if it works out, if not you can still drop him. But ence right now needs more firepower. Only sdy and podi are showing good performances. Kylar is to inconsistent and goofy struggled a lot

2024-09-22 14:13

ence wanted him to leave too buddy

2024-09-20 10:33

Yes but that was not the point of my answer :D the point was that this indian guy said removing goofy before glaive is sad, but if goofy wouldn’t have taken time for himself they would both be removed at the same time. Ence removing glaive is a move that has to be done and i am pretty sure they will do it soon. :) Now goofy just left before him because he wanted to do it himself :P

goofy was by far a bigger problem than glaive, dont fool yourself. he's awful.

2024-09-20 11:23

ironic how you are focussing on my nationality while fake flagging lol and people can have opinion, glaive has been a flop for years now.

Fake flagging? I am from Finland and the last time I checked Finland is in Europe :D Also it its not a fucking matter of opinion. How can you miss the whole point of my answer twice?

2024-09-20 19:03

Yea, and European isn't a nationality bro. This is why I said it's ironic that you focus on mine while hiding yours originally. And yes, I can hold a different opinion than you. Goofy wouldn't take a break if Ence was performing, It's a soft bech. If you believe anything but this, then you are stupid AF. There's no other way around it.

I'll give you 1000€ (93236,90 Indian rupee) if you find a text from me where I said my nationality would be "Europian" or whatever. Bro is losing an argument where he misses the point completely and start making some dumbass objections of something new.

2024-09-20 19:26

>I'll give you 1000€ (93236,90 Indian rupee) if you find a text from me where I said my nationality would be "Europian" or whatever Read what I said when I was talking about your flag.

2024-09-20 19:27

and that money is 5% of my stock portfolio alone lmfao If you think it's a big amount for me or anything like that

2024-09-20 19:28

Special kind of cringe comment here

2024-09-20 21:01

huh whatever

2024-09-21 13:53

They will wait for the post major shuffle to make more changes. Also they should remove Kuben before glaive if they are looking for a more impactful change

2024-09-20 04:56

Kuben is already on the bench and been replaced as coach

2024-09-20 06:55

Who is deciding all this none sense? They were decent on krakow when it had 4 polish players with Glaive. But after all those shuffle any team can beat them on any day

2024-09-20 10:31

Spoiler: -gla1ve now

2024-09-19 17:38

retired soon prob deserved to be benched.

He's not benched

2024-09-20 11:32

yeah, but the comment was written before i saw his tweet. Anyway he did so badly in a new roster he had to go.All the best for him, but i don't we will see him again at a high level-i will remember him for his smile.

andu is overrated and not even that good. +matys? +patsi? or try the nilo kid?

I'm just saying it b/c the rumor that he's leaving GL.

2024-09-19 17:47

i don't think he's a tier 1 material yet. Great potential, but super inconsistent and a lot of off games

2024-09-19 17:49

You are saying this acting like Ence are a tier 1 team.

2024-09-20 07:41

no, but they are better than gamerlegion

2024-09-20 10:16

do you seriously think they're gonna buy matys or patsi out of bookie org after all these free transfers or that they even want to leave? are u right in the brain bro

2024-09-19 17:51

matys and patsi are at a bad orgs and there's more chance they do something at ence(sorry but fnatic has only 2 players good enough for tier 1 and anything is better than parivision), than at their hell.Ence has cash and there's nobody serious without a team like faven(Sorry Josef),mir,br0,porya.

2024-09-19 18:20

lol better chance at ence which bombed out of top 30, isn't able to sign anyone with a buyout, has been trash for months which led to rebuild and the only reason they aren't deeper in the pit is because they are partnered org yes fnatic has 2 t1 players and ence currently has 0, even pari has more talent you mentioned money, fnatic is backed by chinese and parivision is backed by the bookie, if someone has money to spend it's definitely not ence because their budget went to ow and r6 you're so wrong blud you don't even realize

2024-09-19 19:54

it's still ence and they can just sign hooxi and the roster needs a superstar like spinx. Ence is able to buy players mann-It's not a seller at flohmarkt or something like that.Ence has 1 tier 1 player and fnatic is a dead team for such a long time and parivision has more losses, than budget.

2024-09-19 20:04

it's still fnatic and the roster only needs a 1.10 rating awper 🤓 how come have you just said they need a "superstar like spinx", dude that's like saying they "only" need a top 10 rifler to be good, something doesn't add up here don't you think if ence wanted to buy players, they'd already do it, what realistically will happen is they will get cheap/free players to develop, give roster a year or a half and see how it goes hltv.org/stats/teams/players/4869/ence?s.. which one of those is that t1 player? if fnatic is a dead team lmfao then what's ence "parivision has more losses, than budget" meanwhile ence: 29.4% Win rate Last 3 months hltv.org/stats/teams/events/4869/ence?st.. hltv.org/matches/2374041/ence-vs-parivis.. bro ur so delusional i refuse to belive you're not an npc

2024-09-19 20:48

Man, he thinks sdy, patsi and Matys are tier 1 players and goofy will retire soon. Whats the point of discussin with this brain rot + bookie team dont have money lmao

2024-09-19 21:36

-sdy -gla1ve

Good new get rid of gla1ve as well.

2024-09-19 17:41

+Neityu ez

2024-09-19 17:42

Then -Glaive and -Kylar, and +Neityu +PR +xKacpersky and were back

hope he'll comeback in decent polish mix woth GOAT jcobbb and win Texas Major 2025

2024-09-19 17:53

jcobb will never be a pro

2024-09-20 11:33

He is more than pro, 0 cs knowledge

2024-09-20 11:44

gl4ive's contract is until 2026 or something and Goofy was the biggest reason why they didn't win that many T side rounds. His stats dropped by 0.10 after dycha and hades left. Also his T side is -0.29 from average rating if you look his positions in T side. But yeah -gl4ive has to happen at some if they continue to struggle after this change, because if they want invites to events in 2025 they need to be top20 or so in Valve rankings. I can see -Kylar at some point he doesn't find some consistency to his game.

2024-09-19 18:04

Kicking kylar before gla1ve would be mind-boggling.

2024-09-19 18:13

Never said that -Kylar is needed right now. -gl4ive happens before that IF ENCE finds suitable replacement. gl4ive's calling has been kinda iffy at times, but his mid round calls have been still okay, but his fragging has been bigger issue sometimes. They have lost many rounds solely because of Goofy's T side stats. He has been -0.29 this season with his T side positions, but his CT side was okay. So There has been for example many maps of ancient which has ended to 13-11 loss, so with couple of more T rounds won per map, all of those could have been W instead of L

2024-09-19 19:34

he deserve better

2024-09-19 18:00

that's sad, he was pretty decent in 9ine, hope he will come back stronger

2024-09-19 18:07

He was decent in ENCE in spring seaon, but after polish core left = -0.10 to his stats. so basically from 1.05ish to 0.95 player

2024-09-19 19:38

come back stronger Krzychu

2024-09-19 18:10

and with that old wisla roster ended.

2024-09-19 18:22

2024-09-19 19:10

-gla1ve needed

ENCE is literally a shit show

2024-09-19 18:32

goofy ahh

2024-09-19 18:33

Everyone associated with the falcons rebuild is suffering

Sadge

disband then sign Johnny speeds

2024-09-19 18:41

Now sign aleksi jimpphat Sergej and banjo with podi

2024-09-19 18:42

Retire at 24 Nice

2024-09-19 18:43

most sad thing about this, is that he is bigger than whole polish scene (excluding few polish players in tier1) right now

2024-09-19 21:44

Focusing on mental health because of how shit this project was. Id be mentally rattled and tilted to the max too being in this ENCE situation.

That's goofy

2024-09-19 21:38

I like Goofy, he is a nice guy, but we all've seen that the last couple of months in ENCE were really bad from him, maybe a break will do him good, I hope he comes back as strong as ever, for now, a good move for ENCE defienietly, GL Goofy, GL ENCE!

2024-09-19 23:07

Yup. Finnish CS influencer/commentator showed his stats from his T side and that was brutal. Goofy was -0.29 delta to rating which means expected rating with his T side positions. gl4ive was also -0.10 so he needs to step up as well in T sides if he wants to stay in the roster. rest of the players have been with expected rating or + rating. Hopefully ENCE gives chance to 2high if this gl4ive thing doesn't work.
