Match Prediction: ENCE - 9z | CS2 (CS:GO)
PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Challengers StageENCE and 9z will play in the first round of the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Challengers Stage. Latin Americans are already doing well for making it to the Major. But it is necessary to assess the real chances of 9z with a cool head, because this team has no achievements, even by the standards of NA + SA. In this regard, I do not see any problems for ENCE.
Form ENCE
The fourth team of the world ranking became the winner of BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 Europe. It's hard to say that the team had a great championship. However, the result is the result, and the wards of sAw showed remarkable character. In addition, I hardly believe that ENCE will lose ground in a week, since now the team is playing the best CS since the Finnish roster.
Latest ENCE results:
- Victory over Anonymo with a score of 2:0.
- Defeated by NIP with a score of 1:2.
- 2:1 victory over Copenhagen Flames.
- Victory over Heroic with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 2:1.
Best ENCE cards:
- Nuke - 87% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 75% win rate.
- Ancient - 67% of wins.
- Mirage - 55% of wins.
- Overpass - 54% of wins.
Let me remind you that ENCE has not played on the Inferno map for a long time.
Form 9z
The 30th team in the world ranking jumped into the outgoing car of PGL Major Antwerp 2022, although 9z already surprised at the RMR tournament. However, later the Latin Americans failed in qualifying for IEM Dallas 2022, losing to their direct competitors in the region. Therefore, for me personally, the team is not someone who can create a sensation at the Major.
Latest 9z results:
- Victory over SWS with a score of 16:7.
- Victory over ex-Black Dragons with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over Imperial with a score of 2:1.
- Lost to MIBR with a score of 0:2.
- Defeated by Imperial with a score of 0:2.
Best 9z cards:
- Overpass - 83% of wins.
- Mirage - 73% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 71% win rate
- Nuke - 56% win rate
- Ancient - 50% win rate.
In turn, the Latin American team will definitely not play on Vertigo.

Yes, and here the Latin Americans got the guys from ENCE, who have been tearing up the European TIER-1 scene for several months, gradually approaching the leaders. Let's see what 9z comes up with.

Match prediction
In fact, everything is quite simple. The South Americans are not a stable team, thus showing a different CS. After all, there were excellent results at the qualifiers of the Major, and with the advent of IEM Dallas 2022, the indicators began to decline. The European team has been gradually increasing its bar without sharp declines since March 2021 and already today the team claims to be the top 3 teams in the world. I think without any problems ENCE should show their level of play and win with a clean sheet against a team like 9z. Victory in BO1 - ENCE.
