The social media events back in December were focused on Aleksi “allu” Jalli after some of ENCE’s former roster core members took to Twitter to criticize the Finnish veteran because of his conduct as a teammate. It was Jere “sergej” Salo and Miikka “sunny” Kemppi who came forward and called allu out after his controversial interview with HLTV as they meant he didn’t speak the whole truth and he “isn’t as simple and harmless persona as it may look,”, and that “there’s a reason he’s the only one left in the team from the original roster”.

“The events in December put us in a situation where we had to evaluate whether we can continue with allu moving forward as an organization. He hasn’t been a perfect teammate during his time with us and has acknowledged that to us as well. Even if it is true that there has been tension between the players in the team, the allegations made towards allu on social media and singling him out as the sole reason for them, are very far from the truth. It is easy to start pointing fingers at someone, but there are multiple people responsible in a team for the choices and the working conditions” the organization wrote on their official website.

ENCE’s coach has been made fully responsible for the new playing line-up and has together with the organization and all the new players had a long discussion regarding allu’s future in the team. They all together showed their support for the Finnish veteran and wanted to keep him as a part of the team as they think he can give the newcomers a much-needed perspective on how to improve.

“allu is a world elite level AWPer who can perform in any given situation. As an experienced player, he can give our newcomers much-needed perspective on how to improve.” Says Eetu “sAw” Saha, Head Coach at ENCE.
