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

Vitality and ENCE will play in the ESL Pro League Season 17 quarterfinals. It's unexpected to see sAw's charges here, who literally made the playoffs for free with two wins over weaker opponents, but here suddenly rolled up G2.

For their part, Vitality have been resting for a few weeks, but now dupreeh has returned to the main squad, with whom it remains to be seen how things will actually turn out.

Nevertheless, the Danish-French team is taking a small handicap as they played very well in the group and managed to get a victory against FaZe Clan after 1:14 at Anubis.

In this regard, I'm not so sure about the prospects of ENCE, which can again bury itself. So here I would suggest settling for a logical win for Team Vitality, who should bounce back as number one and move on.

Vitality's form

The fifth team in the world rankings managed to perform well in the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023, where they got three solid wins, including beating the Danes from Heroic.

However, after that the Danish-French team came to IEM Katowice 2023 where after two victories they managed to reach playoffs, but in the quarterfinals they were defeated by Team Liquid.

Yet in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, Vitality fared remarkably well as they claimed three victories and raced straight into the quarterfinals of the competition.

Vitality's latest results:

• A 0-2 loss to Heroic.
• A 1-2 loss to Team Liquid.
• 2-0 win over Grayhound.
• Beat OG 2-0.
• Defeated FaZe Clan 2-0.

Vitality's best cards:

• Vertigo - 100% wins.
• Inferno - 75% wins.
• Nuke - 75% wins.
• Overpass - 60% wins.
• Mirage - 50% wins.

Let's not forget that the Danish-French team continues to give up on the Ancient map.

ENCE form

The 20th ranked team in the world managed to be in the playoffs of CCT Central Europe Malta Finals 1, where they did not show the most confident game, twice losing to Eternal Fire.

Nonetheless, in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, the European squad confidently defeated ATK and Rare Atom, although they continued to fall apart and lost to FORZE.

However, ENCE found a unique way to make amends for that misunderstanding by outplaying G2 in the second round. It's clear that the opponent is the problem here, but sAw's men prepared strongly for the match, despite an excessive amount of luck.

ENCE's latest results:

• A 0-2 defeat to Eternal Fire.
• A 2-1 win over ATK.
• 2-0 win over Rare Atom.
• Defeat by FORZE with a score of 0-2.
• Beat G2 Esports 2-0.

Top ENCE maps:

• Ancient - 100% wins.
• Nuke - 71% wins.
• Mirage - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 56% wins.

In turn, the European team is used to giving up the Overpass card.

Vitality - ENCE encounter statistics

The teams played four meetings within the last season:

• ENCE's 2-0 win at ESL Pro League Season 15.
• Vitality's 2-0 win at the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022.
• Vitality's 2-1 win at IEM Cologne 2022.
• ENCE's 2-0 win at IEM Rio Major 2022.

It is worth noting that they have played the Nuke card most of the time.

Vitality vs ENCE match prediction

An intriguing encounter, as even ENCE can get a win here under certain circumstances. However, the fact that Vitality played very powerfully in the group makes me personally uneasy.

Yes, now dupreeh is back in the squad, but one player can't ruin the idyll the lads had a fortnight ago. All in all, you better believe in a pattern.

So in this case, I'd recommend betting on a Vitality team win.
