Prediction on match CS2 ENCE - SKADE

ENCE and SKADE will play in the ¼ finals of Pinnacle Winter Series 2. Let me remind you that the Bulgarian team was originally supposed to play with MIBR. However, in light of recent events, the Brazilians left Poland, heading home. I do not think that the situation has changed radically, but SKADE will obviously have to answer for rash words.

Form ENCE

The 18th team in the world rankings played poorly at IEM Katowice 2022, to put it mildly. On the one hand, the team squeezed the maximum out of themselves, snatching a map from NAVI and Astralis. On the other hand, ENCE offered nothing but shooting. Yes, every second team is able to break the pace now. But this does not work on TIER-1. Let's see if the team will be able to survive at Pinnacle Winter Series 2, although I'm sure of that.

Latest ENCE results:

• Victory over Entropiq with a score of 16:9.
• Lost to OG with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over GODSENT with a score of 2:1.
• Lost to NAVI with a score of 1:2.
• Defeated by Astralis with a score of 1:2.

Best ENCE cards:

• Nuke - 67% of wins.
• Mirage - 50% of wins.

I won't be surprised if the team continues to ban the Inferno map.

Form SKADE

The 33rd team in the world ranking generally with great difficulty reached the playoffs of Pinnacle Winter Series 2, having experienced big problems in regular matches. However, in the first round of the playoffs, the Bulgarian team unexpectedly crashed K23. Another thing is that SKADE allowed itself too loud statements, which, coupled with the failure to qualify for the RMR tournament, automatically puts the team in the status of an outsider.

Latest SKADE results:

• Defeat from forZe with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Tricked with a score of 2:0.
• Victory over FATE with a score of 3:2.
• Defeat from HEET with a score of 17:19.
• Victory over K23 with a score of 2:0.

Best SKADE cards:

• Overpass - 88% of wins.
• Nuke - 80% win rate.
• Ancient - 75% of wins.
• Inferno - 72% of wins.

I note that the Bulgarian team stopped playing on the Vertigo map.

Prediction for the match ENCE — SKADE

The Bulgarians started to pick up the pace quite well, but the fact that SKADE did not make a leap in the level of the game speaks volumes. Yes, ENCE is in far from the most confident form. However, in parallel with that, the team plays with the best teams. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the ENCE team.
