Despite being primarily known for their CS: GO rosters over the years, they also have teams competing in Overwatch, League of Legends, PUBG, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a rocky first few years, ENCE has arguably become one of the best CS: GO teams in the world, peaking at #2 in the official HLTV team ranking and beating <a href=\"https:\/\/thunderpick.io\/blog\/astralis-overview\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"163\" title=\"Astralis\">Astralis<\/a> to win the BLAST Pro Series 2019 final in Madrid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, after numerous changes to the roster, ENCE has started to slip down the rankings again and is returning to its original \u2018underdog\u2019 image. ENCE\u2019s main problem is being unable to keep winning rosters together for a long period of time. If you\u2019re interested in following the group, you can do so via its <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ENCE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/enceesports\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-bet-on-ence\">How to Bet on ENCE&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thunderpick.io\/esports\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Esports betting\">eSports betting<\/a> is incredibly popular at the moment.

The team is also known for changing its rosters. Let\u2019s take a look at the main games that ENCE plays and the rosters for each of these games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cs-go\"><strong>CS: GO&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thunderpick.gl\/esports\/csgo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CS: GO<\/a> is where ENCE always does its best. The current roster for CSGO ENCE consists of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"eutu-s-aw-saha-coach\"><strong>Eutu \u201csAw\u201d Saha (Coach)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A Finish former professional CS: GO player turned coach for ENCE. Having been part of ENCE since 2020, \u201csAw\u201d is the longest-serving member of the roster and is seen as the team\u2019s rock.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"marco-snappi-pfeiffer\"><strong>Marco \u201cSnappi\u201d Pfeiffer&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSnappi\u201d is a veteran of the industry, having been active on the circuit since 2008.

In 2022, NOOKIE, Mise, and SENTEX (the coach) have all left. This led to many of their fans being upset on Twitter, with one user (@jaakkoallan) tweeting:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cYou had a world-class team, now you have nothing. What a waste of talent.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, there are only two players remaining on the active roster as ENCE look to bolster and add new signings for 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"saku-skuijke-sajakosk\"><strong>Saku &#8220;SKUIJKE&#8221; Sajakosk<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSKUIJKE\u201d had an excellent 2021 \u2013 winning the Frag League Top Division S6 Playoff \u2013 before having a relatively quiet 2022. What awaits him in 2023 remains to be seen. If ENCE are to bolster their PUBG lineup, then it\u2019s likely that he will stay on board.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sami-ska-v-vaarala\"><strong>Sami \u201cSkaV\u201d Vaarala&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally a console player, \u201cSkaV\u201d switched to PC in order to play CS: GO. He discovered PUBG along the way and became obsessed with it until he eventually decided to turn pro. He credits NOOKIE and other former members of ENCE\u2019s roster for helping him to improve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"league-of-legends\"><strong>League of Legends<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, ENCE would compete in the NLC to play <a href=\"https:\/\/thunderpick.gl\/esports\/league-of-legends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">League of Legends<\/a>. However, they have not officially been replaced by Granit Gaming. Whether ENCE will return to playing competitive LoL in the future remains to be seen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-future-of-ence-2023-and-beyond\"><strong>The Future of ENCE: 2023 and Beyond&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now, ENCE needs to boost its rosters and stabilize itself so that it can experience a successful 2023.
