Match Prediction: FaZe Clan - ENCE | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Dallas 2023FaZe Clan and ENCE will meet in the semi-finals of the IEM Dallas 2023 top group stage. The winner of the match will qualify for the play-offs, but will also play in the semi-finals.
In turn, the loser team will go on to conquer the bottom set, where there will be serious competition. In general, the match promises to be an interesting The International, although I personally do not expect anything good from FaZe Clan.
At the Long Run of the Championship the team showed a terrible game, and together with all the recent failures and frequent failures FaZe Clan no longer seems a serious opponent. Therefore, here I would rely on the map from the ENCE team.
The shape of FaZe Clan
The third team of the world ranking played well on BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, where at first they got to the "legends", and then made it to the play-offs getting a doubtful, but still a victory over NAVI.
However, in the quarterfinals FaZe Clan got what they deserved, failing to oppose Heroic. As a result, a logical defeat and a trip home without achievements.
As for Long Converge in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, here the European team nearly lost to Evil Geniuses, which kind of urges to think unpleasant thoughts about future prospects.
FaZe Clan's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over 9INE.
- Victory over Bad News Eagles 2-1.
- Beat Natus Vincere 2-1.
- 1-3 loss at the hands of Heroic.
- Beat Evil Geniuses 19-17.

- Anubis - 50% wins.
It should be remembered that the European squad has been steadily refusing Vertigo.
ENCE form
The eleventh team of the world ranking played confidently in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, where they got three victories over OG, Ninjas in Pyjamas and FaZe Clan.
However, the European side failed in the main stage of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, as they did nothing but beat Bad News Eagles and went home.
On the other hand, ENCE managed to do well in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023 where they beat Complexity Gaming without a chance, leaving little hope for further success.
Recent ENCE results:
- A 16-9 win over Bad News Eagles.
- A 13-16 loss to Vitality.

FaZe Clan vs ENCE
What can we say about the game FaZe Clan? If the situation repeats, it's time to throw out a good half of the squad, or even more. If the team so allows to play with Evil Geniuses, then what to expect next.
ENCE, on the other hand, shut down Complexity Gaming without question. Moreover, sAw's wards usually like to cause problems to FaZe Clan, as it happened in the recent major.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the Forum by map (+1.5) for team ENCE.
