ENCE’s History & Origin<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ENCE’s motto, “Create for the community. Created by the community,” shines through in its history. The organization was created in 2013 to professionalize the Finnish esports scene, and its name is inspired by Enceladus, one of the Giants in Greek mythology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the organization\u2019s first Counter-Strike team struggled, ENCE bounced back and branched out into different esports divisions, such as Hearthstone, Rainbow Six Siege, PUBG, and League of Legends. Throughout the years, ENCE was also the home of legendary StarCraft II esports stars, including Samuli “elfi” Sihvonen and Joona “Serral” Sotala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ENCE continues to build its vocal fanbase with a Content Creator program. In 2023, Counter-Strike is the primary focus, and they have actually parted ways with several teams and players. The results of this laser focus are clear, because ENCE is considered one of the world’s best Counter-Strike teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ENCE’s Greatest Accomplishments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Arguably, the most impressive ENCE accomplishments belong to Joona “Serral” Sotala, a Finnish StarCraft II Zerg player. Serral is the only player to win all WCS Circuit Tournaments in a year (2018) and the only non-Korean player to win a WCS Global Finals. As a result, Serral earned nicknames like “The Finnisher” and “Finnish Phenom.” Serral currently competes for BASILISK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then we have Erik “EKI” Tammenp\u00e4\u00e4, a legend in hockey esports and the 2018 NHL GWC world champion. In 2023, EKI placed second in the NHL 23 World Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
