Прогноз на матч: ENCE - NaVi | Counter-Strike (CS2)

ENCE and NAVI will compete for the second ticket to the grand finals of PGL Major Antwerp 2022. Another bright match, in which both the favorite (NAVI) and the outsider (ENCE) have chances. Moreover, such epithets are very relative, because we have two cool teams. Therefore, it is quite logical to expect an uncompromising fight that deserves a third card.

Form ENCE

The third team in the world ranking continues to prove its worth by deed, having managed to break into the TOP-4 at PGL Major Antwerp 2022. Let's not forget that in the “legends” the team lost only to Copenhagen Flames, defeating both FaZe Clan and Heroic along the way. As a result, ENCE routinely took revenge on Copenhagen Flames, clearly preparing for the peak of Vertigo. As for the bottom line, the wards of sAw still demonstrate confident CS, trying to take the most important parts of the map. And if things go on like this, then ENCE will once again be in a winning position. And if you consider that these guys do not hold hands in shooting, there is a chance to see another individual performance.

Latest ENCE results:

• Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 16:8.
• Lost to Copenhagen Flames with a score of 8:16.
• Victory over the Outsiders with a score of 16:8.
• Victory over Heroic with a score of 2:1.
• 2-0 victory over Copenhagen Flames.

Best ENCE cards:

• Nuke - 88% of wins.
• Ancient - 79% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 67% of wins.
• Mirage - 61% of wins.
• Overpass - 55% of wins.
• Vertigo - 55% of wins.

It is worth recalling that the team has been refusing the Inferno map for a long time.

Form NAVI

The second team of the world ranking performed well in the main stage of PGL Major Antwerp 2022, having won three victories and not suffered a single defeat. Yes, in the match against NIP, the team literally presented the Mirage card by releasing the gas pedal at some point. And yet, NAVI beat the Swedes without a chance on the third map, showing itself in all its glory. As for the quarter-finals, "Born to Win" confidently outplayed Heroic. We can say that the team made too many mistakes on Inferno, giving away a lot of situations in the majority. However, the Ancient cards (albeit with a little intrigue), and then Nuke, did not let us down. And yet, it should be noted that NAVI has not yet managed to keep the bar throughout the entire BO3 series.

Latest NAVI results:

• Victory over forZe with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over G2 with a score of 19:17.
• Victory over BIG with a score of 16:8.
• Victory over NIP with a score of 2:1.
• Victory over Heroic with a score of 2:1.

The best NAVI maps:

• Ancient - 100% win rate.
• Mirage - 80% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 80% of wins.
• Overpass - 67% of wins.
• Inferno - 50% win rate.

Needless to say, the Born to Win will be ditching the Vertigo card.

Statistics of meetings ENCE - NAVI

As part of the current season, the teams had one meeting - at Intel Extreme Masters XVI - Katowice, NAVI won (2:1).

Prediction for the match ENCE — NAVI

Then, in Katowice, the teams played Mirage (NAVI pick), Nuke (ENCE pick) and Overpass. I think we can see the first two cards this time as well, while Ancient is likely to fall on the deader. In any case, over these three months, ENCE has become much stronger, while NAVI, hardly anyone can argue with this, has a number of uncertainties, sometimes showing not the most confident CS.

In the bottom line, the wards of sAw have excellent chances to catch on to the series, since a ticket to the final of the major does not just lie around on the road. At the same time, you should not write off the Born to Win, which can turn on the “beast” mode, since half of the arena will support them.

Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Total on cards 2.5 more, expecting to see colorful CS.
