Match forudsigelse: ENCE - Astralis | Counter-Strike (CS2)
ESL Pro League Season 16ENCE and Astralis will meet in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 16. Things are not going well for the two teams - three points each and the likelihood of flying past the playoffs.
At the same time, ENCE and Astralis show not the most outstanding game, managing to both surprise and fail in matches with opponents of a lower level. In general, it is still difficult to single out a favorite, and the outcome of the fight will depend on the mood of the players.
However, this season the teams managed to hold three meetings, and in two BO3s they invariably remained to play as a deader. I expect something similar this time as well, since the teams have both strong and frankly weak cards.
Therefore, in this case, I will not look for a favorite and start from strengths (if any), but will try to show why Total is more than the most likely outcome of the match.
Form ENCE
The sixteenth team in the world ranking showed excellent Counter-Strike at the beginning of the season, when they managed to fight on equal terms with FaZe Clan, and also consistently reached the playoffs of major championships.
However, further down the line, the European team experienced a recession, which resulted in departures from BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022 and IEM Cologne 2022. Of course, the replacements arrived immediately, although, to be honest, the updated roster still seems weaker than the previous one.
As for the start at the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 16, here ENCE started with a confident victory over HEET, as they say in the class. However, then the team managed to lose to two direct competitors, losing too much along the way.
Now sAw's bloody nose needs points, otherwise the chances of flying past the playoffs will approach a hundred.
Latest ENCE results:
- Defeat from Vitality with a score of 1:2.
- Lost to G2 with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over HEET with a score of 2:0.
- Defeat from Heroic with a score of 0:2.
- Defeated by MOUZ with a score of 0:2.
Best ENCE cards:
- Dust 2 - 75% win rate.
- Vertigo - 67% of wins.
At the same time, the European team has not been playing on the Inferno map for a long time.
Astralis shape
The fourth team in the world ranking came out of vacation and immediately went to conquer BLAST Premier Fall Groups 2022, where they even managed to win the group stage and outplay the updated Vitality roster.
However, in the Play-In, the Danish team fell apart, losing both matches and being left without the autumn finals of the season. At the same time, Astralis tried to find its game in the open qualifiers for IEM Road to Rio 2022 for Europe, but there were some nuances there too.
Although the team eventually got to the RMR tournament, the sediment remained. As a result, the Danes could not find a balance in any way, which led to controversial results.
But Astralis' problems continued in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 16, where the team plays only the role of Robin Hood, handing out points to outsiders. There is no other way to explain the defeat from Complexity and HEET, and at the same time a confident victory over MOUZ.
Astralis latest results:
- Victory over HEET with a score of 16:9.
- Defeat from SAW with a score of 12:16.
- Defeat from Complexity with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over MOUZ with a score of 2:0.
- Defeat from HEET with a score of 1:2.
Best Astralis cards:
- Inferno - 78% of wins.
- Nuke - 62% of wins.
- Ancient - 60% of wins.
- Mirage - 57% of wins.
It should be noted that the Danish team has stopped appearing on the Vertigo map.
Match statistics ENCE — Astralis
As part of the current season, the teams held three meetings:
- Astralis won at IEM Katowice 2022 with a score of 2:1.
- Astralis won at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR B with a score of 16:11.
- ENCE victory at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 Europe with a score of 2:1.
However, since then ENCE has changed its roster a lot.
Prediction for the match ENCE — Astralis
If earlier ENCE played cool on Nuke, now you can't say the same. Plus, the team is not going smoothly on Ancient, although there was no practice as such.
In turn, the Danish team is doing great with Nuke, but there are big problems on the Dust 2 map. Also, we must not forget that Astralis is abandoning Vertigo, which is not the last map of the opponent.
As a result, we see two frankly strong cards of teams with which they can unpleasantly surprise each other. Yes, and statistics in such situations rarely misses.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Total on cards 2.5 more.
