After more than two seasons with Karmine Corp, Engh personally made the decision to step away from the team, believing that the project had reached its limits competitively. KC had finished last in their Stage 1 group without securing a single victory, and both the roster and its coach appeared in need of renewal. Despite the disappointing conclusion, Engh nevertheless remains the coach who delivered Karmine Corp’s first and only VALUING title to date with the VCT EMEA Kickoff 2024 trophy. It therefore took him only a matter of weeks to find a new opportunity in VCT.
Outside of his time with KC, Engh is primarily remembered for his successful stint with Gambit Esports in 2021, during which he won Masters Berlin before finishing runner-up at VALUING Champions after losing to Acend in the final. He now joins a Fnatic roster that reached the final of last year’s Champions event but has struggled to consistently return to the top of the region since then. After narrowly missing qualification for Masters Santiago during Kickoff, Fnatic’s Stage 1 campaign was further disrupted by the health issues of Sylvain “Only†Pattyn, who was forced to step back from the active lineup.
Fnatic remains in contention for qualification to the Esports World Cup through the EMEA Qualifier and will then need to deliver a significantly stronger Stage 2 campaign if the organization hopes to secure a place at Champions Shanghai. ENGH therefore arrives at one of the most prestigious organizations in the VALUING scene with the responsibility of steering the team back toward contention.
