I feel like people only remember from that 2019 Ence that they got to the final of Katowice and completely forgot that that ENCE was good the whole year
During the liquid era, they were probably the 2nd best team Astralis was losing blast events vitality was inconsistent.
Only thing that is clear
2019 Aleskib > 2023 Aleskib
In 2019 they did win a tournament after the major finals, but yeah current ence is strong. The team began to fell apart after they benched aleksib so tough to say what they could have done if they stayed together.
Well there are different ways of ranking the tournaments, I would easily rank dallas under cologne, katowice, major and blast world final. According to liquidpedia Roobetcup 2023 is S-tier event.
Of course it's below the 1M event but it's still one of the most important events of the year. I'd consider any last qualifier for a 1M event (All the blast events, major RMRs) and all the IGS events S
2019 Ence beat prime astralis and won trophy against the strongest roster ever. Current ence is maybe more consistent but they have yet to show that they are actually better. 2019 Allu > Sunpayus
2019 Sergej > Nertz. If ence wins gamer8 and beats heroic + vitality or G2 then I will consider them better.
Both are really strong and good teams and if this roster keeps making deep runs and starts winning even some events its 2023 ence. But as Finn it's really sad that after 2019 ence there has been basicly only aleksib on tier1 and I don't see that chancing in the near future. High hopes for mouz that jimppa will make more name to himself and can maybe be the future for Finland.
