ENCE’s Counter-Strike trophy-lifting potential was in question after star player Lotan ‘Spinx’ Giladi left the squad to join Vitality, but Valdemar ‘valde’ Bjørn VangsÃ¥ may have quashed any doubts with his fantastic debut performance against HEET.
The international CS:GO roster took down HEET in two maps with ease.
Alvaro ‘SunPayus’ Garcia’s debut also started off strong with a deadly performance on Dust II. ENCE has started off their ESL Pro League: Season 16 run with guns blazing.
Valde flexed his Counter-Strike fragging muscles, topping the leaderboard with 44 kills for both maps, with an impressive 94.9 ADR.
ENCE easily won HEET’s Dust II map pick (16-6), with the fresh-blood sweeping the floor with the French roster. The Spanish AWPer easily took care of the French roster’s attacks; with the one-two combo of valde, HEET didn’t stand a chance.
The second map, Vertigo (16-11), was a closer endeavor for the French squad. HEET almost mounted a comeback against ENCE but struggled to close the map.
This was a successful debut for valde, in his previous OG squad, the Danish player fought under the OG banner but failed to bring any trophies home in his three-year stint with the org. Now under the leadership of Marco ‘Snappi’ Pfeiffer, there’s a strong chance valde could take some top-tier scalps, but the chance of the squad winning titles is still in question.Â
Their next Counter-Strike match will be against the shaky Danish org, Heroic, who have been struggling to reach prior heights in more recent history.Â
