Sergej slams allu after former ENCE teammate claims he lacks \u201cmotivation\u201d HLTVCSGO pro Aleksi \u2018allu\u2019 Jalli sparked a bit of controversy when he discussed his teammate Jere \u2018sergej\u2019 Salo\u2019s leaving ENCE for military service in an interview with HLTV. When Allu sat down for an interview on HLTV\u2019s Twitch channel on Monday, December 14, he probably wasn\u2019t expecting to set off a social media firestorm, but that\u2019s exactly what ended up happening. Roughly 50 minutes into the interview, the topic of Sergej leaving CSGO for his compulsory military service in Finland came up, and Allu shared his thoughts on why his teammate made the choice. \u201cIn the Spring we already took a one-month break for him, to maybe get him motivation, to maybe get his things going on, and it wasn\u2019t enough,\u201d allu said in the interview. \u201cHe still tried and played with us for six months and really tried to make it work, really much respect.\u201d Sergej didn\u2019t take too kindly to this, and fired back on twitter saying people shouldn\u2019t take everything allu said \u201cas granted\u201d while the interview was still going on. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t take everything what @alluCSGO said\/says as granted. He isn\u2019t as simple and harmless persona as it may look,\u201d sergej wrote on Twitter. \u201cThere\u2019s a reason he\u2019s the only one left in the team from the original roster.\u201d That initial tweet got, as expected, a ton of attention in the CSGO world, but the former Finnish pro said he wouldn\u2019t be talking about it anymore as it was a \u201cmental health thing\u201d but promised that \u201cold teammates can back up my tweet, though.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/sergej_cs\/status\/1338583573570392067?s=20 Remember how we said that sergej tweeted that out during the broadcast, well the HLTV hosts decided to crank up the pressure and asked for allu\u2019s thoughts on his former teammate\u2019s response during the show. \u201cI can always say, obviously I\u2019ve made mistakes, not always been the best teammate, this is correct,\u201d allu replied. \u201cBut what else can I say? I don\u2019t know.\u201d ENCE has been, from an outside perspective at least, practically falling apart at the seams over the last year, with the cutting of Aleksi \u2018Aleksib\u2019 Virolainen in early 2020 sending the team into a \u201cdeath spiral,\u201d according to Richard Lewis, and this latest drama doesn\u2019t seem to help things either. Lewis has also suggested that Sergej being willing to go and complete his service when he could get an exemption at 18 for being an esports pro, after being one of the best young players in the world \u201ctells you all you need to know about what is going on in ENCE right now.\u201d On the other hand, allu seemed pretty optimistic about ENCE headed forward into 2021 throughout the full interview, and, despite this last-minute drama to end the year off with, fans will still be waiting to see what the org can do with a new, hopefully stable lineup come 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
