Aleksi “aleksib” Virolainen will play for a spot in the playoffs of the CS Major on Tuesday.

Finnish outfit ENCE is out of CS:GO’s last prestigious tournament, the BLAST.tv Paris Major.

ENCE’s journey came to an end in the second group stage, when Ninjas in Pajamas, led by Aleksi “aleksib” Virolainen, took the expected encounter with surprising ease. Mirage was recorded after a short nap of 16-7 for NiP and 16-10 for Ancient. NiP put Ancient ahead 14-3.

ENCE, coached by Itu “Saw” Saha, defeated Bad News Eagle in their opening match of the second group stage, but then the machine crashed. After losing a game to Team Vitality, Into the Breach came out to the fore after NiP dealt the death blow.
