Elisa Masters Espoo 2024ENCE stun The MongolZ to reach Elisa Masters Espoo final
The new-look ENCE have secured a place in the final on home turf.
The first semi-final of Elisa Masters Espoo 2024 has concluded, with the recently-refurbished ENCE emerging victorious over The MongolZ to reach the grand finals of the Finnish event.
Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander's ranks were recently bolstered by the additions of Ryan "Neityu" Aubry and Kacper "xKacpersky" Gabara, formerly of MOUZ NXT and Young Ninjas, respectively, with Elisa Masters Espoo serving as the debut for the new squad.
So far ENCE have defied expectations, taking down 9z and playing a close series versus HEROIC before besting The MongolZ in the semi-finals. The international side are now slated to face off against the winner of the semi-final between B8 and HEROIC for a shot at hoisting the trophy in Espoo.

The semi-final series kicked off on ENCE's pick of Anubis, where the European side eked out a 7-5 lead on the offense. After briefly losing the reigns as a result of The MongolZ's pistol win, gla1ve's men rebounded in the second half with six rounds in a row to lock down their pick 13-8.
The MongolZ were clearly not dissuaded by this result, as they hit the ground running on their map pick of Mirage, marching ahead to a stunning 11-1 lead after a nearly-flawless offense. ENCE managed to retort with just one round before The MongolZ closed things out 13-1.
With the dominant finish for The MongolZ on Mirage, it seemed like the Mongolian side were thoroughly warmed up into the series and would take the Ancient decider with ease. This proved to be far from the case, as ENCE charged ahead on the defense on Ancient, accruing an 8-1 lead to kick things off.
The MongolZ rebounded as the first half drew to a close, but ENCE remained in the driver's seat for the remainder of the match, ultimately finishing things off with a 13-8 scoreline to secure their place in the grand final.
