ENCE announced the parting of ways with one of the key players of their Counter-Strike team, Krzysztof “Goofy” Górski. The contract with the Polish player was terminated by mutual consent, and Goofy himself announced on social media that he decided to take a “short break” in his professional career. What could have led to such a move and how will it affect the team?

Goofy frankly admitted that the last few months were hard for him. The player revealed that he felt his body exhausted after years of continuous play. “I have seen examples of young players who ended their careers due to burnout. To prevent this from happening to me, I decided to focus on my health,” he said in his post.

Important details and backstory

Goofy joined ENCE in December 2023 when the Finnish organization acquired 9INE's core roster. The move was aimed at strengthening the team after the departure of several key players, including Álvaro “SunPayus” García and Pavle “Maden” Bošković. Early on, the revamped ENCE squad surprised many by reaching the playoffs at IEM Katowice, but after that the team's results have been erratic.

Current situation in the team

Goofy's departure was the second significant change in ENCE's lineup in the last month. Before the start of the ESL Pro League campaign, the Finnish organization also appointed a new head coach, Niclas “enkay J” Krumhorn, who replaced Jakub “kuben” Gurczyński. Now ENCE will have to prepare for the Elisa Masters Espoo tournament, which will be held from October 16-20, with a prize pool of $200,000.

With the departure of Goofy, the ENCE lineup looks like this:

• Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander
• Kacper “Kylar” Walukiewicz
• Viktor “sdy” Orudzhev
• Paavo “podi” Heiskanen
  
  
• Niclas “enkay J” Krumhorn (coach)
• Jakub “kuben” Gurczyński (bench coach)

Conclusion

Parting ways with Goofy could have a significant impact on ENCE's future results, especially since the team is already struggling after the latest reshuffle. We can only hope that the remaining players and the new coach can meet the challenges and prepare for the upcoming tournaments.
