ENCE defeat Astralis 2:1 in ESL Pro League S22 Stage 1
ENCE confidently overcame Astralis with a 2:1 victory in ESL Pro League S22 Stage 1. After a close battle on Ancient, the series was decided by ENCE’s domination on Nuke and a solid performance on Overpass, which allowed them to move to a 2-0 record in the group and get just one step away from advancing to the second stage of the tournament.
Ancient (16:13 Astralis)
The series kicked off on Ancient, ENCE’s pick. The first half ended in a tie — 6:6. After the side switch, the match remained close, but Astralis managed to win the last crucial round to force overtime, where they closed the map 16:13.
Nuke (13:2 ENCE)
On their opponent’s pick, Nuke, ENCE displayed sheer dominance throughout the game, winning the first half 12:0. While history has seen comebacks from such a score, this wasn’t the case. Astralis managed to secure only two rounds, and ENCE wrapped up the map with a crushing 13:2.
