Match Prediction: NiP - ENCE | CS2 (CS:GO)
PGL Major Antwerp 2022: European RMR BNIP and ENCE will compete for a place in the Legends stage of the upcoming PGL Major Antwerp 2022. From a distance, ENCE looks like a more well-played and stable team than NIP. And the Swedes themselves cannot really show themselves in key matches, since their ideas are known to everyone in advance. In addition, the lack of a sniper can be a key problem for the NIP.
Form N.I.P.
The seventh team in the world ranking had a great start in the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR B, getting two confident victories. However, in the key match, the Swedish team lost to Copenhagen Flames, showing a monstrous game. It is clear that the guys coped with SINNERS, but even here one could not expect a sensation. Another issue is that it is very difficult for NIP to play against ENCE, which we have already seen at the last championship.

- Victory over the Bad News Eagles with a score of 16:11.

Don't forget that the Swedes haven't played Dust 2 for a long time.
Form ENCE
The sixth team in the world ranking at PGL Major Antwerp 2022: European RMR is performing quite confidently. Yes, you can draw by the ears the defeat from Astralis, where the team just took few rounds in attack. Otherwise, ENCE does not change itself, constantly showing discipline and good shooting. Therefore, I am convinced that the team will be able to take this slot into the “legends”.
Latest ENCE results:
- Defeat from FaZe Clan with a score of 1:3.
- Victory over Spirit with a score of 16:11.
- Defeat from Astralis with a score of 11:16.
- Victory over HEET with a score of 16:8.
- Victory over Anonymo with a score of 2:0.

- Nuke - 92% win rate.
- Dust 2 - 75% win rate.
- Overpass - 64% of wins.
- Ancient - 58% of wins.
- Mirage - 58% of wins.
Let me remind you that ENCE has not played on the Inferno map for a long time.
Statistics of meetings NIP — ENCE

Prediction for the match NIP — ENCE
I don't believe that NIP will be able to impose their game in this match, because ENCE is a very uncomfortable opponent. Moreover, the Swedes have their own problems associated with the lack of a sniper as such and the lack of practice in this squad. Therefore, here, given the experience of ESL Pro League Season 15, I would recommend betting on the victory of the ENCE team.
