Message: [QUOTE="Queen, post: 88159, member: 27"] A full roster dump just landed on ENCE's doorstep after the org decided international CS2 spending wasn't cutting it anymore. ENCE pivots back to Finnish talent [LIST] [*]ENCE is ditching its international lineup for homegrown players. [*]Years of big-budget global rosters led nowhere sustainable. [*]Every main CS2 player and coach got benched. [*]Leadership and majority shareholders greenlit the overhaul. [/LIST] Kuusisto frames it as a homecoming [LIST] [*]Mika Kuusisto called the recent weeks brutally intense. [*]His take: bold calls feel obvious after the fact. [*]Past international squads deserve credit for their achievements. [*]Finnish CS is getting the full heart-and-soul treatment. [/LIST] Podi was benched despite being Finnish [LIST] [*]Paavo Heiskanen still got the axe alongside everyone. [*]Podi wants Tier-1 competition, not a development-focused project. [*]His preference clashed with the new rebuild direction. [*]ENCE confirmed he can explore transfer options. [/LIST] Dev squads keep rolling through it [LIST] [*]ENCE Academy stays operational with zero disruption. [*]Prospects will compete in NUKE-Liiga Season 2 on March 18. [*]Some staff roles face cuts during restructuring. [*]Transition targets a long-term Finnish-centric pipeline. [/LIST] Esports money reality is still brutal [LIST] [*]Prize pools barely scratch operational costs for most orgs. [*]WYLDE, a Tier-1 Rainbow Six squad, folded recently. [*]CYBERSHOKE's founder burned nearly $1M over two-and-a-half years. [*]Sponsor dependency remains the only lifeline for survival. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
