Matchförutsägelse: ENCE - FaZe Clan | Counter-Strike (CS2)

ENCE and FaZe Clan will meet in the third round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, where they will be playing for one of the first two legends as well as the right to finish the opening leg without a loss.

To be honest, we will have a heated encounter here at The International, as FaZe Clan in their current form are not very impressive in their stability. Yes, the team got two wins the day before, but they were partly lucky with seeding.

In turn, sAw's charges showed an excellent Long Corner, getting two confident victories over their direct rivals. So here, based on what I saw the day before, I'd go with the card from team ENCE.

ENCE's form

The ninth team in the world rankings had a mixed performance in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where they managed to lose Long Cogneg BO1, but the good news is that they closed three meetings in a row.

Next, the European team took part in Brazy Party 2023 where they beat GamerLegion, but lost to SAW and Astralis and didn't make it to the play-offs.

Nevertheless, ENCE managed a strong Long Sogpegowal in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, picking up two solid wins over OG and Ninjas in Pyjamas.

ENCE's latest results:

• A 1-2 loss to SAW.
• A 2-1 win over GamerLegion.
• 0-2 defeat of Astralis.
• 16-6 victory over OG.
• Beat Ninjas in Pyjamas 16-9.

Top ENCE scores:

• Ancient - 83% wins.
• Mirage - 67% wins.
• Nuke - 67% wins.
• Vertigo - 64% wins.

It should be remembered that the ENCE team usually gives up maps Inferno.

FaZe Clan's form

The fifth team of the world ranking had problems in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A, the good was able to rehabilitate with two victories in the Last Chance Qualifier.

Then the European team visited IEM Rio 2023, where they got an easy victory over 9z, but then Ledgeila FURIA and Vitality, and never got to the play-offs.

Fortunately on the Long Cogneg BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage from FaZe Clan managed to pass Monte and paiN Gaming, although in some places there were difficulties.

FaZe Clan's latest results:

• Victory over 9z with a score of 16-3.
• Defeat to FURIA by a score of 0-2.
• 0-2 defeat of Vitality.
• 16-14 win over Monte.
• 16-12 victory over paiN Gaming.

FaZe Clan's best scores:

• Ancient - 75% wins.
• Overpass - 71% wins.
• Inferno - 57% wins.
• Nuke - 57% wins.
• Mirage - 50% wins.

In turn, the European team has long given up on Vertigo.

ENCE - FaZe Clan encounter statistics

The teams played five meetings within the last season:

• ENCE's 2-1 victory in ESL Pro League Season 15.
• FaZe Clan win in ESL Pro League Season 15 with a score of 3-1.
• ENCE win at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 by a score of 16-8.
• ENCE win at IEM Dallas 2022 by a score of 2-1.
• FaZe Clan win at Roobet Cup 2022 2-0.

The teams have played the Overpass and Mirage most often.

Forecast of the match ENCE vs FaZe Clan

There is no point to add anything here, because both teams deserve to go to the "legends", and by the feel of the game will be equal. And yet I see some problems in FaZe Clan, which only has to prove its worth in the close match. And if yesterday it was close, today it is possible to go bust. So in this case I would recommend betting on the Forum on map (+1.5) for the ENCE team.
