ENCE CS2 players: roles, bios & recent form

sdy (IGL / rifler)

Former star rifler who transitioned into ENCE’s caller role. Expect mid-round initiative, calm calling, and solid clutch fundamentals. He often anchors or plays late-round pack on CT, then leads contact-to-explode pacing on T.

Why he matters: ENCE’s ceiling rises with sdy’s calling depth—especially on Mirage, Anubis, and Nuke. If you’re studying calling, compare how ENCE staggers utility on defaults (then review our breakdowns of CS2 maps and specific callouts: Mirage, Overpass, Inferno, Dust 2, Anubis, Nuke).

podi (AWPer)

A homegrown Finnish AWPer with reliable percentages and smart rotations. He’s especially effective holding long corridors and punishing re-peeks. If you’re learning the role, tune your setup with our CS2 crosshair guide and weapon data in the CS2 weapon stats hub.

Neityu (rifler)

A young French rifler with balanced trading and utility usage. He’s often slotted into space-taking or trading roles and can secondary lurk when required. For stat literacy (ADR, impact, opening duels), see: What is ADR in CS2?.

myltsi (rifler)

Academy promotion in July 2025. Brings consistent spacing, good mid-round decisions, and solid percentage aim. Great example of the ENCE pipeline working as intended.

rigoN (entry rifler)

High-tempo entry with a fearless first-contact profile. He adds instant aggression on T-side openers and fast reactions on CT swing setups. If you want to model a sharp entry style, start with smoke/drill routines: CS2 smoke practice commands, practice commands, and pro settings.

Coaching & support staff

Head coach: enkay J — emphasizes structured practice blocks, role clarity, and disciplined defaults.
Team identity: measured prep with selective pace-ups; academy integration reduces ramp-up time for role swaps.

Transfer & roster timeline (2024–2025)

Sep 2024: enkay J appointed head coach.
Oct 2024: Neityu signed, podi cemented as main AWPer.
Mar 31, 2025: Kylar released.
Jul 10, 2025: myltsi promoted from ENCE Academy; xKacpersky loaned out.
Jul 24, 2025: rigoN signed; gla1ve benched; sdy takes over IGL.

Why it matters: the July 2025 moves finalized a faster, more proactive identity around sdy’s mid-rounding and rigoN’s early-round punch, while keeping synergy with the academy core.

ENCE CS2 results & form (2025)

Trophies / podiums in 2025

Champions — CCT Season 3 Europe Series 1 (May 2025)
Champions — YGames Pro Series Season 5 (Jun 2025)
2nd — Tipsport Conquest of Prague 2025 Finals (Jun 2025)
Top-8/Top-16 finishes across closed qualifiers and Series events through July–August.

Austin Major 2025 qualifiers snapshot
ENCE navigated Europe’s Regional Qualifier with some notable wins but ultimately fell in a best-of-three decider to B8 during the Play-In/Swiss path, missing out on the Major. Still, their spring–summer bounce (two titles + finals) indicates the rebuild is working.

Map pool & veto tendencies (reader guide)

Comfort picks to study:Mirage, Anubis, Nuke.
- On Mirage, ENCE often mixes mid-takes (window/smoke top-con) with late A splits. Learn the language with our Mirage callouts and smoke lineups (Mirage smokes).
- On Anubis, look for fast canal pressure → late mid pinch. Drill timings using smoke practice commands.
- On Nuke, they lean into ramp pressure and upper execs—get familiar with Nuke callouts.
Likely early removals: depends on opponent pool; ENCE have shown flexibility post-July with rigoN added.
CT setups to note: podi on long-sightline posts (Dust2/Overpass), Neityu as rotator with heavy util value, sdy anchoring or late rotator to stabilize the mid-round.

For deeper learning on each battleground, read our guides: Overpass callouts, Inferno callouts, Dust 2 callouts, Anubis callouts.

How ENCE play: playbook notes you can copy

T-side: contact defaults that bloom into layered execs. rigoN forces rotations; sdy calls re-hit timing; podi hunts punishes with the AWP once spacing is set.
CT-side: stable anchors with fast 2nd contact; ENCE value trade setups over hero plays.
Utility trends: high % flash-assists off supportive riflers (myltsi/Neityu). If you’re practicing, build your own routine with CS2 practice commands and keep an autoexec for consistency.
Performance metrics to watch: ADR, opening duel attempts/wins, and late-round clutch conversion. Brush up on ADR and weapon tier list to understand the choices behind their buys.

Player mini-scouting (last 3 months, directional)

podi: quietly efficient AWPer with strong multi-kill potential and above-average impact.
sdy: positive rating plus IGL load—keeps entry attempts reasonable, spikes on closing halves.
rigoN: aggressive entry profile; expect volatility but round-breaking openers.
myltsi: stable spacer; good trade success rate.
Neityu: balanced rifler; value comes from utility and trading more than raw opening duel spam.
