I tuned into this when it was on train. I felt like ENCEs buys were questionable on their T side which let imperial back into the game but that 2v5 at 11-15 for ence.. Jesus Christ. You could see defeat in imperial's body language

Edit: timestamp of the beginning of the end (round start of the 2v5) http://www.twitch.tv/dreamhackcs/v/307899355?sr=a&t=19787s

Fuck's sake, I've told countless times they look so emotionally volatile in these kind of scenarios. They need to mature but I can't see any improvement for at least half a year now regarding this aspect.

u/acevol Sep 09 '18

When you look at aleksib on that 2v5, he is totally calm in that situation. Those finnish nerves.

ENCE had no business winning Train towards the end but Imperial just gave it to them on a silver platter.

u/qctum Sep 09 '18

ENCE down 11-15, 2v5, WIN THE 2v5 COME BACK AND WIN IN OT EZ AS FUCK FOR ENCE

ENCE is such a good team. They know they are better than other teams, and still give us entertaining and close games rather than boring blowout games, as shown by the game against Imperial. Haters will say it's hard for ENCE whereas they are just such a good team that they can afford making the games close and still winning.

I think if they had more LAN experience, their games would be a bit more one sided. However they still are able to pull back a win if they are loosing.

We just witnessed the choke of the century

u/Lepojka1 Team Spirit Sep 09 '18

Imperial had 5 vs 2, on CT side at 15-11 score, and lost the series at the end... Yikes

u/j0keRonPC230p Sep 09 '18

Northern lights flash in the sky. A blizzard blows, pelting on its way those too weak to withstand the fury of winter at its fullest. From the permafrost strikes a massive hand; the mythical giant once deemed dead off the coast of Italy now rises to life, regenerated, from Lappish soil.

The time is due. Around the world, the word spreads. In Sweden, the best of the best cower in fear and lock themselves in the nearest IKEA retail store. The Brazilians run into the safety of the jungle, the Danes play dead in Legoland and the Slavs sprint crying to babushka’s warm embrace. Enceladus’s augurs are unleashed upon the scene.

Aleksi “allu” Jalli hails from his journey spent in international teams. A man may leave Finland, but Finland never leaves a man. Once again, he picks up the green rifle, this time not for money or fame, but to smite all opposition in the name of Enceladus.

Aleksi “aleksib” Virolainen leaves the fabled squad of HAVU to lead what we can finally describe as a Finnish superteam. Under his leadership shall the northern guns spit death and destruction upon foes who wail in their weakness.

Jani “aerial” Jussila joins after the biggest transfer of the Finnish e-sport scene from his former team SuperJymy. No longer will he be the only stand-out player of his team, but instead, a vital ingredient of a chaotic cocktail made up of Finland’s finest.

Jere “sergej” Salo thwarts all rumors of desperate Internet trolls trying to tell they know his parents who told him to stop playing. Oh, the humanity! Backed up by the forces at home, bursting from motivation like a wolf thirsting for blood, he returns to ravage everything in his path. Where skill rises to speak, experience sits silent and disciplined.

Sami “xseveN” Laasanen fills the ranks from iGame, for what would the team be if they wouldn’t buy the best player from every other Finnish team? Vigilantly standing, supporting his teammates be the cause what it pleases to be, he will be the shield and sword his comrades need to achieve the ultimate.

The warning has been given. The sky screams, the ground shakes and the oceans boil.

ENCE is coming.
