ENCE and iNation will meet in the third round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B. In this case, the teams will determine who will leave the championship and who will still get a chance to fight for a ticket to the majors.
It was very interesting to watch sAw's wards who seemed to have put together another strong line-up that could have torn things apart. But in reality it turned out to be lean nonsense, which loses to Monte and FORZE.
However, the Serbian team are not capable of fighting at all, as it was shown by the two Long matches. So here I would lean on a resounding victory for the ENCE team.
ENCE's form
The ninth ranked team in the world managed to fall in the play-offs of CCT Central Europe Malta Finals 1, showing a not very good game against the clear outsiders.
Next up, ENCE made it to the semi-finals of ESL Pro League Season 17, although I wouldn't say their performance was very consistent. And one step away from the finals, the team lost to Cloud9, without jumping further than their head.

Forecast for the match ENCE - iNation
There's not much to talk about, because the Serbian team won't be able to surprise even if they want to. It's clear that there are enough examples even from this tournament, but in terms of play iNation really look the worst of the others.
For its part, it's time for ENCE to get better. To be honest, I don't believe the team will make it to the majors. However, in a match like this, the guys have to open up.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on ENCE's 2-0 win.
