ENCE sign rigoN; bench gla1ve
sdy will take over in-game leadership with the team's former skipper moving to the bench.

ENCE has announced the signing of Rigon "rigoN" Gashi, who has been without a team since the rebooted Bad News Eagles, the team in which he made several runs to the Major's Legend Stage in Antwerp, Rio and Paris in 2022-2023, disbanded before the summer break.

The Swiss-Kosovar player had previously been in BIG from June 2024 through the end of that year, but his aggressive playstyle was a mismatch for the meticulous play of Johannes "tabseN" Wodarz's system in the German squad and ended with a parting of ways after just half a year.
Now, the 25-year-old will have the chance to prove his worth on an international roster for the first time since 2019 and 2020, when he first started to make waves in the tier two scene with Secret and c0ntact.

Outgoing to make place for the newcomer in the starting five is Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander, who has been moved to the bench after a year-and-a-half stint in ENCE, albeit one with little success as the team lost a core that contended for championships and started a rebuild around the IGL with mostly young and unproven players.
The Dane won't leave with an empty trophy cabinet, however, as he led ENCE to a victory on home soil at at Elisa Masters Espoo 2024. “A big thank you to Lukas for his time with us," says Niklas "Willkey" Ojalainen, ENCE's General Manager. "He has been a great player to work with, consistently working hard and giving his all at ENCE, and it was an honor to lift the trophy with Lukas at Elisa Masters Espoo.
"Unfortunately, we couldn’t achieve the level of success we aimed for as a team, so it's now time to look ahead and build for the future."

gla1ve's departure leaves the team's captaincy open, which will be taken over by Viktor "sdy" Orudzhev, a role the Ukrainian previously held during his time in Monte, when he took over in-game leadership ahead of the BLAST.tv Paris Major in 2023.
Additionally, ENCE announced that 20-year-old prospect Ville "myltsi" Vilkman, who was brought up from the academy team to take the place of Ninjas in Pyjamas loanee Kacper "xKacpersky" Gabara, has been signed on a trial basis to "allow both myltsi and the team to assess their compatibility and long-term potential."

ENCE's new roster will make its debut at BLAST Bounty Season 2, starting August 5.
ENCE is now:
Viktor "sdy" Orudzhev
Paavo "podi" Heiskanen
Ryan "Neityu" Aubry
Rigon "rigoN" Gashi
Ville "myltsi" Vilkman (trial)
Niclas "enkay J" Krumhorn (coach)
