ENCE Disbands CS2 Roster and Plans New Lineup of Finnish Players

ENCE announces CS2 roster disband and Finnish rebuild plan

Esports organization ENCE has announced the disbandment of its current Counter-Strike 2 roster. The club revealed the decision through its official social media channels, stating that it is beginning a complete reset of the project and transitioning to a new development strategy.

In its statement, the organization emphasized that within the modern esports ecosystem it is becoming increasingly difficult to compete at the highest level. Because of this, management decided to start a long-term rebuild of the roster.

“Organizations like ours are finding it increasingly difficult to reach the top in today’s CS esports ecosystem. Instead of continuing to slide downward, we decided to reset and build something new for the long term.
We are refocusing ENCE back home — to Finland. Our goal is simple: to assemble a CS roster built around Finnish talent and help our stars grow. This is a new era for ENCE.
As part of this process, we have moved the current roster and coaching staff to the bench. They are available for transfer offers. We will share our next steps in the near future.”

All players from the main roster and the team’s coach have been moved to the bench and are now available for transfer offers. At the time of the disbandment, the team ranked 60th in the official Valve global ranking for Counter-Strike 2 and had failed to qualify for any major LAN tournaments during the current season.

In 2025, ENCE earned around $155,000 in prize money, but in 2026 the team managed to win only $2,000. The last Major the team participated in was PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, where the squad finished second to last.

The club also has a youth roster, ENCE Academy, which includes four Finnish players and one Georgian. It is possible that some of these players could be promoted to the main roster as part of the organization’s new strategy.
