Allu (gamer)

allu started playing CS competitively in Finland's 1.6 scene. He attended some notable events such as DreamHack Winter 2009, DreamHack Winter 2010, and Copenhagen Games 2011, but he never had any notable results.

allu transitioned to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive successfully, and played for some low level Finnish teams. He eventually transitioned to ENCE, but at the time, the Finnish scene didn't have very much talent, and allu once again struggled to place.

Allu left ENCE in June, and later the organization dropped the rest of the CS:GO roster.[1] Allu joined mousesports in July 2014.[2] At ESWC 2014 mouz finished 9 - 12th.[3] mouz failed to qualify for the third CS:GO Major of 2014, DreamHack Winter 2014. mouz found very minor success at smaller LANs in 2014.

Allu left mousesports at the end of January and joined 3DMax.[4] During his brief stint with the team he failed to qualify for CS:GO Major ESL One Katowice 2015. Allu joined Stockholm-based Ninjas in Pyjamas in February, replacing Mikail "Maikelele" Bill on what was intended to be trial basis.[5] At 2015's first CS:GO Major, ESL One Katowice 2015, they finished second after losing to Fnatic in the finals.[6][7] In August the second CS:GO Major, ESL One Cologne 2015, was held, and Allu and NiP finished in 5-8th. In November NiP finished 3-4th in the third Major of the year, DreamHack Open Cluj-Napoca 2015. In December NiP finished second at Fragbite Masters Season 5.[6] Jalli left Ninjas in Pyjamas on December 8, two months before his contract was set to expire, and did not immediately join another team.[6] After a successful individual year for allu, he claimed 19th place in the Top 20 Players of 2015 by hltv.org.[8]

On January 4 it was announced that allu had rejoined ENCE eSports.[9]Niko "milA" Hartikainen (2015-01-04).

Retrieved 2015-01-04.</ref> Once again, allu would not find much success with the Finnish team, and on August 16, allu transferred to FaZe, replacing fox on the roster.[10] After adding karrigan, FaZe had some notable placements including a semifinals finish at IEM Oakland 2016 and ELEAGUE Season 2.

FaZe had good results in the start of 2017 with allu, placing 2nd at IEM Sydney 2017 and IEM Katowice 2017. They placed 1st at StarLadder & i-League Season 3. However, at PGL Major Kraków 2017, FaZe went out in last place. In the aftermath, allu was benched from FaZe, and replaced by GuardiaN.[11] Allu was soon moved to the short lived international European roster of OpTic Gaming.[12]

In 2018, allu once again returned to the Finnish scene and formed the Finnish team ENCE along with Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen, Jani "Aerial" Jussila, Sami "xseven" Laasanen, and Jere "sergej" Salo.[13] The roster would soon find success, winning StarSeries and I-League Season 6, over Vega Squadron.[14] At the end of 2018, allu and ENCE would win Dreamhack Winter 2018, with a great personal performance from allu.[15]

In early 2019, ENCE had a major upset[16] and came 2nd at the first major of the year, IEM Katowice 2019.[17] Later on in the year, they would attend StarSeries i-League Season 7, where they would place 5th-8th, falling at the hands of Natus Vincere. Following this, they would make a 3rd-place finish at Blast Pro Series São Paulo, going 4-1-1 in the group stage where they drew against Team Liquid and lost to Astralis. They would get revenge on the latter, however, by defeating them in a best-of-3 final at Blast Pro Series Madrid 2–0, taking their first LAN title of the year. ENCE placed 2nd at DreamHack Master Dallas 2019 and IEM Chicago 2019, losing to Team Liquid in the grand finals both times. Before the StarLadder Major: Berlin 2019, ENCE were set to replace their In-Game Leader Aleksi "Aleksib" Virolainen with Miikaa "suNny" Kemppi, after the major.[18] Allu took over In-Game Leading duties after his departure.
