Eighth place at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR B allowed ENCE to qualify for the only and last Major CS:GO tournament of the year. The performance at Brazy Party can be considered a failure, as Snappi and the team failed to make it to the top 8 and earn any prize money. BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 ended with ENCE in 12th-14th place, which brought the team $20,000. The team's biggest achievement so far is winning the Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2023.
