allu takes leave of absence for personal matters

12-5-2021 11:21

The veteran AWPer's return date is up in the air.

Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli is taking a leave of absence from ENCE due to personal reasons, effective immediately, the Finnish organisation announced on Tuesday. The 28-year-old revealed that the "hectic years with minimal breaks" had led him to be "extremely drained and fatigued, inside and outside the server".

Polish AWPer Olek "⁠hades⁠" Miskiewicz, who recently stepped down from Wisla Krakow, will be standing in for ENCE in their upcoming matches, starting in Tuesday's LOOT.BET Season 9 quarter-final clash with SKADE.

allu is taking some time off due to personal reasons

"Together with Head Coach Eetu "sAw" Saha, General Manager Niklas "Willkey" Ojalainen and the rest of the team, we have taken the step to accommodate this, and allu will be sidelined from action for the time being," ENCE said in a statement.

"Wellbeing and the ability to operate in full form is a top priority for us, and we hope to see a fully-refreshed allu on the servers."

allu, who described this as "one of the hardest decisions of my career", said that a break "is needed to be able to continue playing and competing in the game I love", and stressed that he wants to be back "sooner, rather than later."

The 28-year-old's absence represents a major blow for ENCE, who have struggled for form since their playoff appearance in ESL Pro League Season 13, a month ago. The international team went out of the Flashpoint 3 Closed Qualifier in 13th-16th place following defeats to Anonymo and DBL PONEY, and could not reach the second stage of the IEM Summer Closed Qualifier after a 0-2 loss to Movistar Riders.

allu, one of the most experienced players in the Finnish scene, has been on ENCE's books since March 2018, playing a key role in the team's second-place finish at the IEM Katowice 2019 Major and in the victory at BLAST Pro Series Madrid, later that year.

He and Joonas "⁠doto⁠" Forss were the only two players who transitioned to ENCE's international squad in January 2021 following the management's decision to shut down the Finnish squad, which had been plagued by personal issues for a while.

allu received much criticism, including from former teammates, for his role in that team's downfall. According to ENCE's General Manager, allu was kept on the roster not only because of his immense experience and talent, but also because sports psychologists gave him the green light after he showed a willingness to improve as a person.

ENCE are one of the eight teams invited to the Elisa Invitational Summer, a $100,000 tournament that will be held between June 3 and July 3. The Finnish team are also slated to take part in ESL Pro League Season 14, which will kick off on August 16.

ENCE's roster currently looks as follows:

Joonas "⁠doto⁠" Forss
Marco "⁠Snappi⁠" Pfeiffer
Lotan "⁠Spinx⁠" Giladi
Paweł "⁠dycha⁠" Dycha
Olek "⁠hades⁠" Miskiewicz (stand-in)

Eetu "⁠sAw⁠" Saha (coach)

Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli (inactive)

ENCE LUL. Honestly now is good time to disband and Allu to retire.

+1 Both useless, stop with AleksiB hype.

2021-05-12 17:08

OG has some ping issues with some players. Don't blame the team. They are putting up some good results with niko now. So yeah keep up the aleksib hype

2021-05-13 12:34

AleksiB is no snake like allu. He will have a team, allu will not and as we all know: no team no trophy - just ask simple

2021-05-13 14:36

wouldnt say disband but it wouldve been a good time to pick up a flashy awp and let allu finally retire i dont know hades but his stats speak for him at least

2021-05-12 11:28

2021-05-12 11:36

Great AWP, would consider him the second best behind mhL and stronger than snatchie

2021-05-12 15:33

+2 hades and mhL are insane new talents being slept on for sure

2021-05-12 20:35

2021-05-12 12:56

disband :DDD u clearly dont know how business work.

2021-05-12 14:15

Maybe, but I know that benching your IGL for rifler is shit idea. That's more knowledge than ENCE has

2021-05-13 00:41

2021-05-12 14:17

actually hades is an upgrade IMHO. This could be a decent T2 team, but +1 for allu retiring

2021-05-12 17:00

AWPing is literally what every Finnish player can do, you're barking up the wrong tree there. Hades is the top Polish AWPer, but AleksiB, ZehN, Aerial, Xseven, ZOREE, SLowi, Jemi, Allu, and Doto are probably all better than him at his own role, just because most of them are even better in other roles doesn't mean they can't AWP. And both ZOREE and Allu are in the top 10 best AWPers. Poland used to be good at CS, but they have some work to do to be good again.

2021-05-12 16:13

Well i disagree, mostly. If you are right than Funland top 1 soon. The truth is, that Havu (only promising finnish team) has recently broke its bones against t2.

2021-05-12 16:58

What? So just because there are more good Finnish players than Polish means Finland will be the best CS country? It's not like tons of countries have more and better players than Poland does. Denmark, Russia, France, Germany, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Sweden, the UK, probably a few more are all better than Poland. If I'd rank them Finland would be on the lower end somewhere, but still far better than Poland. Just get over it.

2021-05-12 17:12

Don't forget about indonesia!

2021-05-13 18:45

most retarded comment i've seen in a while

2021-05-12 18:03

It should cuz as many knows, PL got a lot of good snipers

In CS you had a few, not many nowadays though. Even total players, there are currently a grand total of three Polish players of the 150 players in the top 30 teams, and they're all at the bottom of that top 30. And among those three, there's just one AWPer, and he has only just been picked up, so we don't know if he deserves to be among those 150 players.

2021-05-12 16:04

Snatchie was top fragger in sprout (around top23) and for sure he would be fine on much better team, hades will show his talent in few days, deserves for sure top15 team atm, mhl looking for some eu t1/2 team. I think if they would have a chance play in t1, they could play well in it

2021-05-12 17:46

Polish cs is dead rn, we need some new talents

2021-05-13 12:12

Top30/40 it means its dead? Nt NA is dead

2021-05-13 14:32

barely alive but yea NA scene is dead

2021-05-13 23:33

Tier 1/2 player for sure

2021-05-13 23:21

veri gut, better than allu for sure

2021-05-12 11:26

with mhl he's the most perspective awper in the polish scene

he is really insane,good picup for ence

2021-05-12 12:02

dude was insane on tier 2/3 tournament this was his chance to make his reputation

2021-05-12 12:12

He did 1v9 vs Complexity with 1.27 rating, it's his chance to prove in higher tier games

2021-05-12 12:17

yup, he is pretty good

2021-05-12 13:49

In 2021: 1.15 rating 1.2 impact 1.09 rating against top 10 teams 1.11 rating against top 20 teams and he's only 21. Really solid talent

2021-05-12 16:12

Ence in new polish hope

2021-05-12 20:46

Bot allu + Mr. Firepower

2021-05-12 11:22

feels bad

what shouldve taken better awper as stand-in woxic, kenny, GuardiaN, MSL, there are a lot

11 replies

I guess Hades isn't bad, but there are so many talented AWPer avaible that they probably could have gone for a better option

you clearly haven't watched hades play

2021-05-12 11:31

Imagine saying those washed up are better than Hades, lmao

2021-05-14 01:32

KennyS under G2 contract

2021-05-12 11:35

being under contract doesnt mean you cant do stand-in jobs

2021-05-12 12:08

Ofc. Ence would either have to pay a huge loan for example like Sentinals for tenz in Shitlorant or pay a huge buy put +kenny is trash

2021-05-12 13:04

high ping and wont leave turkey, washed up, washed up, BOT?

2021-05-12 11:55

Hades deserves a chance to prove himself way more than any of those players, if teams ekpt recycling the same players all the time we would have never gotten breakout talents

2021-05-12 12:33

+1 When will we see Italian players would be nice to get some sick players from there aswell.

2021-05-12 14:58

hades is insane, he’s literally gonna play better than allu lol Those picks might have been better though because they would probably play similar to allu’s level, getting a stand in to perform significantly better than the initial player might not bode well in the future.

2021-05-12 17:28

Mens why now I don't get Hades points

Rip Ence, once the pride of Finland

Aleksib is all thats left for Finland

2021-05-13 22:01

RIP gone too soon...

Great to see hades having a chance to prove himself,such a young and promising talent

SELLING PROMOTION PLACES

hades steps up, my man

+kennyS -allu permanently

Yes let's kill ence completely

2021-05-12 13:06

Oh, that's cute. ENCE has been dead for a long time, and pretty much because this guy was a good part of the reason they tossed out Alekisib. I don't really have much sympathy for the guy right now, even if he is good in-game.

2021-05-21 08:42

no aleksib to kick, no allu

haaades <3

:( allu

LESSS GOO

+nawwk or Anarkez

At least they got a good stand in

Ahhahhah, only choice now is a disband

2021-05-12 11:29

Still mad? LUL

2021-05-12 11:44

Cringe

2021-05-12 15:02

hope to see ya back soon((

ENCE Guardian would be decent chance for him to show if he still has what it takes. I would love to see that. But if allu will comeback in some time, i don't think it will happen

GuardiaN? I don't think he would join tier 3 team I bet he got a lot of better offers and denied them.

2021-05-12 11:37

Why would he get any good offers at all? Ok, he was big back in the days but he was out of action for so long now, I doubt many top teams are considering him

unlucky

2021-05-12 18:47

Its not unlucky if 2-3 players leave because mental health issues. That screams someone is toxic asf inside team, and we know its mostly because Allu.

2021-05-12 22:55

Only aerial left because mental issues and reason was crying aleksib fans.

2021-05-13 07:00

What about Sunny who left after Allus interview in podcast :') the old Ence crew pretty much supported that Allu was toxic

This would have been so nice opportunity for Jamppi to show his real skills as main AWP. But I hope he will stay in Valorant, after all the hassle Valve doesn´t deserve him to change back.

community deserve to see him at the Major. He's insane and i'd like to see him shining at the Major.

2021-05-12 19:14

With how he has been performing lately maybe it's best that he doesn't comeback? I mean, it's a good time to rebuild the roster, like this just hasn't been working at all outside of success in EPL Group Stage.

2021-05-12 19:23

Guaranteed it wasn’t his decision. He just didn’t want it to look like he was cut.

2021-05-12 20:00

It was about time.......

2021-05-12 20:32
