ENCE decides to file for bankruptcy and cease operations after 13 years in Counter-Strike

ENCE announced its decision to submit a bankruptcy filing and cease operations after 13 years in Counter-Strike. The available sources do not state that a court has already declared the organization bankrupt.

A thirteen-year run comes to an end

ENCE announced that it intends to file for bankruptcy and bring its operations to a close. The organization spent 13 years in Counter-Strike and became one of Finland’s most recognizable esports brands on the international stage. Its defining result was a run to the final of the IEM Katowice Major in 2019. ENCE also won StarSeries i-League Season 6, BLAST Pro Series Madrid, and IEM Dallas 2023 during different periods of its history.

Final roster enters free agency

ENCE’s last CS2 roster has been released into free agency. The lineup consisted of HENU, millert, teme, Schwarz, and joeski, with allu serving as coach. The players may now pursue separate opportunities or seek a new project together without their previous organizational backing.

The announcement confirms ENCE’s decision and the end of its operations, but it is not evidence of a completed court process. The available material supports saying that the club decided to submit a bankruptcy filing; it does not establish that a court has already issued a bankruptcy ruling.
