HLTV sources have confirmed that 22-year-old Dane Alexander “br0” Breaux is currently on trial with ENCE, which has sparked another wave of discussion in the CS2 community. This news comes just days after Astralis replaced br0 with Casper “cadiaN” Møller before the start of the BLAST Premier Fall Final, claiming that the player was “not fit to play” due to medical issues.
Contradictions in versions
The news about br0's trials in ENCE was first reported by well-known analyst Richard Lewis, who wrote in his post:
"Astralis says he is unable to play, but at the same time he is being tested by other teams. What an organization..."
The situation around br0's health became even more confusing when his agent, Fabian Breuch, previously stated that the player was “completely healthy and ready to play.” This directly contradicted the statements of Astralis, who were seeking permission for an emergency replacement.
Community reaction
BLAST 's decision caused discontent among other teams and players. Several team captains even boycotted the tournament's media day to protest the organizers' actions, but BLAST still confirmed their decision, claiming that they had “no reason to doubt Astralis' statement.”
Nevertheless, br0 continues his search for a new team, trying his hand at ENCE. ENCE co-founder Joona “natu” Leppänen confirmed that the team “tested several players this week, including today,” but did not name any specific names.
By the way, I don't usually bother with roster shit these days but given the circumstances, why not? I'm reliably informed that br0 is trialling with ENCE at the moment. So Astralis are saying he's too ill to compete but he's well enough to trial for people. What an org.

Possible move to ENCE
The ENCE organization is actively looking for a replacement for Polish player Krzysztof “Goofy” Gurski, who recently decided to take a break from his career. br0, a graduate of the Danish CS school, looks like a potential candidate for the vacant spot in the team.
Conclusion.
The situation around br0 has caused a significant response, and many believe that this incident will be the subject of further discussions and possible sanctions for Astralis. At the same time, br0's fate at ENCE remains uncertain, but his ordeal in the team certainly attracts attention.
