Match Prediction: G2 Esports - ENCE | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Cologne 2022G2 and ENCE will meet in the lower bracket of the IEM Cologne 2022 group stage. To put it bluntly, changes are clearly outlined in both teams. And if G2 does not play as a team as a whole, then ENCE clearly lacks a sniper, who has not played properly for the third championship in a row.
And yet, I would not single out someone as a favorite, since teams are able to show the maximum on their maps. Plus, you need to understand that the teams are approximately equal in their capabilities, which makes it very likely to see the third card.
Form G2
The sixth team in the world ranking managed to fail at all previous championships, starting from IEM Dallas 2022. There, the star team reached the quarterfinals, in which they again lost to FURIA.
Then G2 went to BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022, where, despite two victories in the group stage, the team managed to lose to Vitality and get eliminated in the semifinals.
As for the start at IEM Cologne 2022, here the team managed to make their fans laugh by managing to lose to Movistar Riders. And this time G2 didn't have not only a game, but also a base - shooting.
Latest G2 results:
- Defeat from FURIA with a score of 1:2.
- Victory over Vitality with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over FaZe Clan with a score of 2:1.
- Defeat from Vitality with a score of 1:2.
- Defeated by Movistar Riders with a score of 0:2.
Best G2 Maps:
- Inferno - 80% win rate.
- Dust 2 - 64% of wins.
- Nuke - 50% win rate.
- Mirage - 50% of wins.
Let's not forget that the European team refuses the Overpass map.
Form ENCE
The third team in the world ranking also fails at the latest championships, including BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022 and Roobet Cup 2022. Moreover, the team has absolutely no game, because it repeatedly makes some kind of dregs and loses seemingly simple matches.
So this time, ENCE failed at the start of the group stage of IEM Cologne 2022, losing to Vitality. For Dust 2, the team can still be praised, but where was the attack on Nuke and Mirage? Honestly, if things go on like this, then the team will not be able to do without replacing the sniper, because hades is no longer trite to finish shooting.
Latest ENCE results:
- Defeat from Vitality with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over Eternal Fire with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over MOUZ with a score of 2:1.
- Defeated by FaZe Clan with a score of 0:2.
- Defeat from Vitality with a score of 1:2.
Best ENCE cards:
- Vertigo - 75% of wins.
- Ancient - 70% of wins.
- Nuke - 69% of wins.
- Mirage - 50% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 50% win rate.
It is worth recalling that the team has been refusing the Inferno map for a long time.
Statistics of meetings G2 — ENCE
Within the framework of the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- G2's victory at PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Challengers Stage with a score of 2:1.
- ENCE victory at IEM Dallas 2022 with a score of 2:0.
I note that in both cases the teams played on the Dust 2 map.
Forecast for the match G2 — ENCE
Based on statistics, ENCE is a little ahead. However, now the teams are playing on wild fatigue, which is why we get interesting results and defeats at our peaks.
In any case, as mentioned above, I do not see a favorite in this series, nor do I believe in a possible defeat from one of the teams. Plus, we are talking about relegation from the championship, from which the teams will obviously fight to the end.
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Total on cards 2.5 more.
