gla1ve reportedly set to be benched on ENCE

The former Astralis captain joined ENCE in November 2023.

Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander’s stint with ENCE appears to be over after nearly two years with the Finnish organization.

According to reports from insiders Gromov and solutioN00, the Danish in-game leader is expected to be removed from the starting lineup following a lacklustre first half of the year.

ENCE have failed to find form in 2025, struggling to secure results in both qualifiers and official events.

Entering the year ranked #36 on the VRS leaderboard, they have since slipped even further down the ladder, which means the top-tier invites now is even longer out of reach for the European squad.

Their failure to qualify for the BLAST.tv Austin Major marked another tough setback, adding to the growing pressure on the roster.

Gromov reports that it will be Rigon “rigoN” Gashi who’s going to replace gla1ve on the starting lineup. The Swiss-Kosovar rifler has most recently represented Bad News Eagles and BIG.  

According to the reports, ENCE’s new lineup will consist of:

gla1ve (Benched)

podi

myltsi

sdy

Neityu

rigoN

enkay J (Head coach)

Pley have reached out to ENCE and gla1ve’s representatives to get a comment on the rumours. None of them has returned back in time for this publication.
