valde after two months in ENCE: Snappi puts a lot of trust in me
The former OG star talks about his roles in the team but also how it is teaming up with his countryman Snappi.
The new-look ENCE squad featuring the two fresh additions of Alvaro "SunPayus" Garcia and Valdemar “valde” Bjørn Vangså has started to heat up. The European mix arrive at ESL Challenger Rotterdam with an impressive result in the bag from RMR, where they managed to secure a Legend spot at the Rio Major.
For valde speaking, the transfer to ENCE has meant a comeback for the Danish rifler who had not featured in an official match since April this year. In an interview with ESL, valde talks about his role in the team and how his new captain is placing a lot of responsibility on him.
- I think so yeah [valde said when asked if we’ll see him on his top level again]. I have some good roles in the team, and I know Snappi puts a lot of trust in me. Yeah obviously, I got to perform as well, but at the end of the day we are five individuals in the team, and I don’t think you’ll win any tournament if everyone is not performing.
- It’s a team game at the end of the day and we all got to put up our best individual level to win.
Here to win
ENCE kicked off their ESL Challenger Rotterdam campaign with a convincing 16-5 victory over TeamOne in the opening round. Regarding their expectations to win the entire tournament, valde said the following.
- I wouldn’t say it would be a big disappointment not to win the event, but obviously, we are here to win. Going 3-0 in the RMRs was a big deal for us after the ESL Pro League results. So I think it’s just about showing some good Counter-Strike and refining our game.
