ROUNDS This Week 45/2026 – Elisa Open set to begin

This week we kick off our journey in the Elisa Open Suomi 14 regular season, and play back-to-back NUKE-Liiga matches.

Hey everybody, this week is shaping out to be a great one with loads of Counter-Strike heading your way! And in many forms at that, as we are releasing vlog content from LAN, playing our usual ESEA and NUKE-Liiga matches, and starting off with two Bo3 games in the 14th season of Elisa Open right off the bat.

 

Last Week’s Recap

Last week’s NUKE-Liiga clash against ENCE Prospects was ultimately not played due to ENCE not being able to field five players in time after the news of their bankruptcy. Therefore we received a forfeit victory and stand at 6 wins (1 OT), 0 losses.

Good to note for these next two bits that OLDBOYS and OldBoys are actually two completely different ESEA opponents, from Poland and France respectively. The ESEA matches against Los Kogutos and OLDBOYS (Polish) also got rescheduled for November 11, both on that same date now.
