The CS2 community is actively discussing rumors that legendary Danish in-game leader Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander may be on his way out of ENCE. This information comes from insider solutioN00, though there has been no official confirmation from the organization. If the rumors are true, this could mark a new chapter in the career of one of the most successful IGLs in Counter-Strike history.
gla1ve’s Legacy with Astralis
Lukas “gla1ve” Rossander is a Danish CS:GO and CS2 player who rose to global fame thanks to his legendary run with Astralis. The team dominated the professional scene between 2017 and 2019, with gla1ve at the helm as the tactical mastermind. He joined Astralis in October 2016 and remained with the team until November 2023.
Under his leadership, Astralis won numerous iconic titles, including:
- ELEAGUE Major Atlanta 2017
- FACEIT Major: London 2018
- IEM Katowice Major 2019
- StarLadder Berlin Major 2019
- Intel Grand Slam Season 1
- ESL Pro League Season 7 – Finals
- ELEAGUE Premier 2018
- BLAST Pro Series: Global Final 2019
During his time with Astralis, gla1ve earned over $1.8 million in prize money, while the team was widely considered the best in the world at the time.
gla1ve’s Time with ENCE
After a series of roster changes in Astralis, gla1ve joined ENCE in late 2023, once again stepping into the role of in-game leader. However, his time with the new organization proved to be far less successful. Under his leadership, ENCE failed to reach the later stages of major tournaments.
The only notable result came at Elisa Masters Espoo 2024, where the team finished third. Overall, though, the squad fell short of expectations, with gameplay issues and inconsistent performances putting additional pressure on the roster.
What’s Next for gla1ve?
If the rumors about gla1ve’s departure from ENCE turn out to be true, it may signal that the veteran is ready to change direction once again. Possible scenarios include joining a new international project or even transitioning into a coaching role — something he has hinted at in past interviews.
Despite his struggles with ENCE, gla1ve remains one of the smartest and most experienced IGLs on the scene. If he finds a team with the potential and willingness to follow his vision, there’s every chance we’ll see the return of a legend at the top level of CS2.
