ENCE and kuben part ways

The Polish coach had been inactive on the team for over a year.

ENCE has announced that Jakub "⁠kuben⁠" Gurczyński is no longer tied to the organization as the two parties have come to a mutual agreement to terminate their contract.

The Polish skiipper had been on the sidelines since August 2024, when he was removed from his duties to make way for Niclas "⁠enkay J⁠" Krumhorn.

kuben had been on the team since November 2023, when he was brought on to replace Eetu "⁠sAw⁠" Saha, and was tasked with rebuilding a crumbling team that lost the core of its previously succesful team with Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer, Pavle "⁠Maden⁠" Bošković, Guy "⁠NertZ⁠" Iluz, and Álvaro "⁠SunPayus⁠" García all leaving.

ENCE bench kuben

Most famously, kuben was part of ENCE's miracle run at IEM Katowice in 2024, when a Polish core and Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander made it all the way to the playoffs in the Spodek against the odds.

That lightning in a bottle could never be caught again and after changing to a more international roster the team failed to settle and get any notable results. Finally, after missing out on the Shanghai Major, kuben was moved to the bench.

Now, after over a year on the sidelines, the skipper who stood behind Virtus.pro and then helped take apEX on a true underdog story all the way to the Major semi-finals in Paris before his time in ENCE, is once again a free agent.
