ENCE Esports Team Files for Bankruptcy, Ending 13 Years of Activity
Written with artificial intelligence.
Finnish esports team ENCE has filed for bankruptcy, marking the end of its 13-year journey. The board made the difficult decision after struggling with declining performance and financial challenges in recent years.
ENCE's Bankruptcy Decision
The Finnish esports organization ENCE has announced its decision to file for bankruptcy, concluding its operations after 13 years. The board of ENCE eSports Oy expressed gratitude to players, staff, partners, and especially fans for their unwavering support throughout the years.
Founded in 2013, ENCE initially focused on Finnish players and became a recognized competitor on the international scene. However, the organization faced challenges in recent times, particularly as player salaries soared within the top-tier competitive landscape. In March 2026, ENCE attempted to pivot its strategy for its Counter-Strike division, shifting focus towards discovering and nurturing the next generation of Finnish talent.
Despite these efforts, the decision to file for bankruptcy was ultimately made. This follows a trend in the industry, as other teams like Complexity and Evil Geniuses have also announced their closures recently, with Evil Geniuses set to cease operations on November 2.
