After what has been a rough start for the squad so far with off-season acquisitions Alvaro "SunPayus" Garcia and Valdemar "valde" Bjorn Vangsa, ENCE is off to a good start in the qualification for the IEM Rio Major. The Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer-led team has started off well in the Major-qualifying competition as they replicated their lone victory from ESL Pro League three weeks ago against HEET. This follows a disappointing 1-4 group stage run at ESL Pro League and a failure to qualify for the BLAST Premier Showdown.
In their first triumph at the RMR, the team's two new additions, SunPayus, and valde, led the way with ratings of 1.47 and 1.44, respectively. The latter was crucial in making sure that ENCE wouldn't lose the game a 1v3 clutch to win the second pistol round and maintain the momentum with the favourites.
