Stuck through the slump, ENCE eSports is going the Astralis way. Finnish organisation has announced the arrival of Elias “Jamppi” Olkkonen, therefore, officially establishing a six-man roster. 18-year-old is a rising star in the Finnish scene with flawless skills and 1.37 rating. Elias has signed a two-year contract with ENCE eSports though he is restricted to play at Valve sponsored majors.
During late 2019, Elias was close to signing with present-day OG, however, the organization went forward with Mateusz “mantuu” Wilczewski. It was alleged that the organization went on to sign with the latter due to Elias’ association with a VAC banned account which he claims to have sold to his friend. 18-year-old has reportedly filed a lawsuit against Valve over the concerned matter.
ENCE eSports will play all non-major events with Elias “Jamppi” Olkkonen whereas Sami “xseveN” Laasanen will be the fifth player for the ESL One: Road to Rio. The organisation further revealed in the press release that Aleksi “allu” Jalli has handed over the reigns of in-game-leader (IGL) to Miikka “suNny” Kemppi.
With his addition, the lineup intends to get back to eminence after kicking former IGL Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen in the aftermath of StarLadder Berlin major 2019.
The revamped lineup of ENCE eSports is:
- Aleksi “allu” Jalli
- Jani “Aerial” Jussila
- Jere “sergej” Salo
