Matchförutsägelse: ENCE - Bravado Gaming | CS2 (CS:GO)

ENCE and Bravado Gaming will meet in the Long Converge Round of the group stage of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023. There's probably no point in talking about the teams at this point, as in the case of the South Africans, it's pretty straightforward.

As for ENCE, the team literally just won the championship in Dallas, where they showed a good game. Against the backdrop of all this, Bravado Gaming can hardly parry victories over their region's rivals.

All in all, we should expect an easy outing for a European team that is two heads stronger than their opponent. So I'd lean on the ENCE team to win here.

ENCE form

The fourth team in the world rankings failed in the main stage of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where they managed to get just one win over Bad News Eagles and went home.

Next up, the European side confidently marched through the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, managing to beat Complexity Gaming, FaZe Clan, and Astralis on the road.

In the play-offs, ENCE also overlooked their opponents, defeating FaZe Clan again to take a very easy win over MOUZ in the final and win the long-awaited trophy.

Latest ENCE results:

• A 16-7 victory over Complexity Gaming.
• Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2-0.
• Victory over Astralis with a score of 2-1.
• Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2-1.
• 2-0 victory over MOUZ.

Top ENCE scores:

• Nuke - 80% wins.
• Ancient - 71% wins.
• Anubis - 62% wins.
• Vertigo - 60% wins.
• Mirage - 57% wins.

It should be remembered that the European squad continues to reject Inferno.

Bravado Gaming uniforms

The 130th ranked team in the world became the local ESEA Season 44: Main Division - South Africa champions back in March, although there were no rivals in sight.

What's more, the South African side made their way to ESL Challenger Katowice 2023 on their own, managing to go all the way from open qualification.

Bravado Gaming also had a solid showing at all sorts of ESEA Cash Cup events, but no specific experience has been or is in sight for the team.

Bravado Gaming's latest results:

• A 2-1 win over NIBBLE.
• Defeated MM 2-0.
• 2-1 win over Nixuh.
• 2-1 victory over VYBN.
• 2-0 win over Avasive.

Bravado Gaming top scorers:

• Nuke - 100% wins.
• Inferno - 75% wins.
• Vertigo - 75% wins.

In turn, the South African team does not show up on the Anubis map.

ENCE - Bravado Gaming match prediction

What can we say here? It's cool that a team like Bravado Gaming will play at all in such a major championship, but here there is no chance at all.

And even in a semi-relegated state ENCE is unlikely to let their opponent near them, because the difference is very significant. And there's not much point in thinking about it - it's very simple here.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend to bet on ENCE to win with a handicap (-6.5).
