2 months ago, ENCE announced the addition of 27-year-old Valdemar “valde” Bjørn Vangså to their active roster on a transfer from OG, where the Dane spent three months on the bench. The 27-year-old Dane was tired of missing Majors, and didn’t hide the fact that this was a big factor in his decision to search for a new team and sign for ENCE.
Recently, the Dane did an interview with Dust2.dk, in which he revealed that he turned down “much better financially offers” to join ENCE. Before moving to ENCE from OG in the summer break, there were reportedly rumors going around about a possible transfer to both Evil Geniuses and Astralis.

“I had many other good offers that were also much better financially, but ENCE was the team that felt right in the end and I’m glad I ended up here.
When I had to choose a new team during the summer break, my main focus was to find a place where I felt I had the best chances to get back to the Majors, but that also was ready to just grind and play a lot of tournaments.”
The 27-year-old Dane is currently preparing for the IEM Rio Major 2022 event that is set to run from Oct 31st – Nov 3rd.
