CSGO fans upset at ENCE\u2019s explanation for why aleksib was replaced Following the long ordeal of transferring former in-game leader Aleksi \u2018Aleksib\u2019 Virolainen to the OG organization, ENCE put out a video announcement supposedly explaining how aleksib\u2019s replacement came to pass. But CSGO and ENCE fans weren\u2019t pleased with the information included in the video. ENCE\u2019s days of late haven\u2019t necessarily been the sunniest. Apart from the drop in results compared to earlier in the year, much of the talk online regarding the team has to do with a player no longer there. Ever since the team announced that aleksib would be removed from the starting lineup at the conclusion of the Berlin major, fans of the Finnish franchise, and Counter-Strike fans in general, have longed to know why they would part with the leader that led to them to so much success in the earlier part of the year. After the the December 18 episode of ENCE TV, titled \u201cDiscussing Contract Extensions & Aleksib Trade Details\u201d, fans were left disappointed by the continued lack of information regarding why the situation unfolded. And the only information that was provided only led to more questions. In the video, marketing director Joona \u2018natu\u2019 Lepp\u00e4nen and CEO Mika Kuusisto explained that they offered all the players extensions in the summer, after their miracle IEM Katowice major run. During that time, they say they considered signing Miikka \u2018suNny\u2019 Kemppi, but were unable to do so due to financial reasons. But in August, when they had another opportunity to sign him, they went ahead and did so, and informed aleksib of their decision the next day. Fans were very local about how letdown they were about the information that was revealed, alleging that it hadn\u2019t added anything new, specifically regarding why aleksib was dropped. On both the reddit and YouTube comments, fans criticized the organization for providing only \u201cnon-answers.\u201d Fans on Twitter voiced their displeasure as well. Some fans even zeroed in on ENCE signing aleksib to a contract only to sell him with presumably a bigger buyout clause later. They pointed out that the notion of selling him for financial reasons conflicts mightily with previous statements from the team that \u201che didn\u2019t fit,\u201d and that it was a team chemistry issue. Regardless, the video only drives home the idea that the organization really wanted suNny, but provides no information on why they decided that aleksib would be the one cast out. Fans also critiqued the lack if communication with Aleksib on the situation, stating that they felt he was misled in an effort to sign a new player rather than stick with him. Comment byu\/legaala from discussion inGlobalOffensive Their string of results to close out 2019 reflects negatively as well. Since removing aleksib, ENCE have struggled at the offline events they\u2019ve attended, only making playoffs once in five tries, where they lost in the grand finals of the CSGO Asia Championships to mousesports. Meanwhile, Aleksi appears to be settling in well with OG, making the semifinals in their debut tournament at cs_summit5. They\u2019ve also been invited to participate in the BLAST 2020 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
