ENCE files for bankruptcy

Finland-based ENCE has announced that its board of directors has decided to file for bankruptcy. The organization will stop operating after thirteen years of Counter-Strike activity.

During this period, the team won three MVP tournaments. Two of them were won in 2019 with an entirely Finnish roster, and the third in 2023 with an international roster led by Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer. The 2019 Finnish roster also reached the final of IEM Katowice 2019 Major.

After the core roster was sold to Falcons in December 2023, the team went through several rebuilds, but results remained inconsistent. In April 2026, they promoted their academy roster to the main team. Aleksi "allu" Jalli had taken over as head coach in June.

In a statement on his social media account, allu said he was deeply saddened and that he would share more details later. At the time of the bankruptcy announcement, the Finnish roster was ranked 103rd in the global VRS rankings. The organization had not attended an MVP tournament since September 2024.
