Allu announce leave of absence from ENCE
The veteran is taking a step back from the scene for personal matters
Aleksi "allu" Jalli has announced that he will be taking a step back from the professional Counter-Strike scene due to personal matters, with immediate effect. The 28-year-old points toward the hectic years and the lack of breaks as a reason for his decision, following up by saying that it left him feeling: "extremely drained and fatigued, inside and outside the server". The news was announced on ENCE's Twitter page.
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."
The current ENCE roster, with the "allu" taking a leave of absence, looks as follows:
Joonas "doto" Forss
Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer
Lotan "Spinx" Giladi
Paweł "dycha" Dycha
