ENCE made good of their repeated grand final appearances in Dallas, defeating fellow international side MOUZ 2-0 in a straightforward fashion, granting their in-game leader, Marco “Snappi” Pfeiffer, their first significant tournament win, having competed in Counter-Strike since 2008.
The Danish IGL, born in 1990, joined ENCE in January 2021 and led the team to an impressive revival as the organization shifted away from an all-Finnish lineup to an international roster. After a poor finish at the BLAST Paris Major, where the team finished 12-14th, getting eliminated from the Legends Stage with a 1-3 scoreline, this was an incredibly impressive bounceback from the #11-rated team in the world, according to HLTV.
