End of a chapter.


About 16 months ago my and Rustanmar's old international lineup split up. I started looking for an opportunity to build a highly competitive full Finnish roster with him. At the time I wasn't very aware of the Finnish scene as a whole. After playing and getting to know a lot of people from the scene I started getting a good picture of availability of Finnish players that we could build a team with. One of the most outstanding players back then was SKUIJKE who played in YMCA (GPO back then). He was rather new to the scene still back then but he had a background in other competitive games and he knew what it took to success. After playing few scrims with him it became quite obvious that he should be our 3rd guy in the team. Back then I didn't really know TRYFFELI either but him and SKUIJKE casted PGI together in Finnish. At the time he was also one of the most experienced players from Finland. We/SKUIJKE managed to talk to him to give a chance for full Finnish team. We started playing scrims and some smaller tournaments and qualifiers. Things kinda clicked straight away with the four we had. We came along outside and inside of the game very well, and still do. There was definitely a potential in the team. We qualified to GLL Season 3 and decided to stick together even though both TRYFFELI and Rustanmar were offered spots in paid teams. As the end of 2018 approached we were invited to take part in upcoming PEL LAN qualifiers in Minsk and also qualified to GLL Season 3 Grand Finals in Stockholm. GLL wasn't really a success but we treated it as a preperation for more important PEL qualifiers where we would fly directly from Stockholm. We learned a lot from Stockholm as it was our first LAN together. We were able to adjust and fix mistakes we had and qualified to the PEL very comfortable.

Year of 2019 started us chasing an organization to represent in the upcoming PEL. Eventually we were able to sign with the biggest organization from the Finland, ENCE. That was truly a dream come true to represent them in PUBG. We came guns blazing to the phase 1 of PEL and dominated our way to the championship and qualified to first global event of the year, FACEIT Global Summit. Since then things haven't worked out as much. Firstly we missed FGS finals by one spot, coming 17th overall. PEL Kick-Off Cup was probably even bigger struggle as we barely qualified to the Finals and ended up 11th in the Finals. Phase 2 start was similar struggle as first 6 weeks we got nothing done basically. We changed our practice bit for last 2 weeks which showed then as we were one of the top teams last 2 weeks. Those 2 weeks made us avoid relegations that phase. Phase 3 was low point and we ended up in the relegations. Now looking back at the whole phase we should have stuck similar practice as we had at the end of phase 2. Luckily we were able to see some light at the end of tunnel in the relegations and comfortably claimed our spot back to the league for 2020.

However, as of today I am announcing my free agency as I have been informed that my contract has been terminated by ENCE. I would like to thank everyone behind the scenes in ENCE. Whole organization and everyone working there has been nothing but great for me and us these past 9 months. I am glad I had a possibility to represent them in PUBG. Also obviously I want to thank my amaizing teammates Aki, Saku and Miro for these past 16 months. They were some of the best time in my life and we got so many great memories travelling and living together. They will last for a life time. I hope nothing but great success to all of you and especially to ENCE, make Finland proud in PUBG.

Moving forward I will be looking for any other opportunities within PUBG. My priority is still playing at the top level. However with the right offer I would be open to coach or analyse for a team aswell. I have been primary IGL for all of my teams past 2 years. I have always played more of a supportive role for my teams to make sure guys who are supposed put numbers don't have to focus on that and they can focus on delivering those big numbers. I have very deep understanding of the game and I am very very vocal player in and out side of the game. I will always give my absolutely 100% to give best available tools for the team to win, that only thing I care about. When it comes to coaching/analysing I think I could be great asset to many teams aswell due to my extensive experience I have IGLing in top echelon of PUBG past 2 years. Also been playing against most of these top (european) teams for long period of time so I am very knowledgeable with their tendencies etc.

I also want to say thanks to my amaizing community on my twitch. We have build amaizing community together this year and hope I see you guys sticking around. I will keep streaming actively while exploring my options within competitive side of PUBG. Love you all.

I am open to discuss about any possibilities about my future over twitter DMs or discord miikaz#4417
