To take his spot as the team’s primary AWP’er is going to be the Polish Olek “hades” Miskiewicz who has recently stepped down from Wisla Krakow. As it currently stands there is no confirmation as to when “allu” will be rejoining his teammates at ENCE. Touching on the subject ENCE expressed the following in a statement regarding the issue:
“Together with Head Coach Eetu “sAw” Saha, General Manager Niklas “Willkey” Ojalainen, and the rest of the team, we have taken the step to accommodate this, and allu will be sidelined from action for the time being,”
Despite his statement regarding fatigue it is seemingly not the last time we will get to see God “allu” dominate teams with the AWP. He explained his decision further in a tweet responding to the announcement:
“This feeling inside me has made me realize that a timeout is needed to be able to continue playing and competing in the game I love. My goal is to be back sooner rather than later. Im extremely grateful for people who has supported me through thick & thin See you soon.”
This has been one of the hardest decission of my career but the end of 2020 & hectic years with minimal breaks has really taken a toll on me.
Keeping going without proper time to heal & reflect has led me to being extremely drained & fatigued inside & outside the server. https://t.co/ZcUmnzaPEe— Aleksi Jalli (@alluCSGO) May 12, 2021
