Match Prediction: ENCE - MIBR | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 18Welcome to EGamersWorld.
Slowly but surely, we have reached the last match of the second game day of Group B at ESL Pro League Season 18. Let me remind you that the tournament offers 32 participants a total prize pool of $835,000 and two more trips to IEM Katowice 2024 and BLAST Fall Finals 2023.
The prize pool is exciting, and that's why all the top teams in the world are playing at ESL Pro League Season 18. Among them are ENCE, who have already successfully debuted in Group B.
The Finns will play against mibr in the match to advance to the Group B Grand Final and, as a result, to the play-offs. Let's take a closer look at this match.
Let's find out which team will be stronger in this b3 and qualify for the final of Group B, from where they will advance to the play-offs. The loser falls to the bottom net of Group B, where he will continue the fight for the exit to the main stage.
Let's go.
ENCE form
Let's start the match analysis with the analysis of ENCE's form. In this match, the Finns play the first number one.
Bookmakers believe in the success of ENCE. The odds for a European victory is at around 1.3.
During the season, the team took TOP-3 at CCT Central Europe Malta Vibes, TOP-4 at ESL Pro League Season 17, and also reached TOP-8 European RMR B - qualifying event for BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023. ENCE also played at the Major, but it was TOP-14, which is hardly a worthy result.
IEM Dallas 2023 turned out to be much more pleasant. ENCE looked quite cheerful throughout the event, which allowed them to defeat MOUZ in the grand finals with a score of 2-0. Just before IEM Cologne 2023, ESL Challenger Katowice was played, where they had to defeat Vp in the grand final 1-2.
- ENCE roster: Snappi, NertZ, Maden, dycha, SunPayus .
ENCE have been playing in a stable roster for almost half a year. SunPayus and NertZ headline the roster with a KDA of 1.12.
Thanks to their victory at IEM Dallas 2023 ENCE started Cologne from the group stage. The first opponent was the Poles from 9INE, who gave the Finns serious problems, but lost with a score of 1-2 and a series of dops on the decisive map.
The next match was a match against Fnatic. ENCE won both maps, leaving Fnatic no special chances.
In the match for the Grand Final ENCE played against Heroic. Being an outsider, the Finns took a very good approach to the match and shut down the top 1 team in the world with a score of 2-1 in a tough Bo3.
Next up was a match against Vitality and as a result a passage to the Grand Final of IEM Cologne 2023. ENCE was not enough for the title, G2 Esports were stronger.
After an offensive Cologne 2023 ENCE started Gamers8 on a high note. They defeated Liquid 2-0 in the first match of the tournament.
In the semi-final match they played against Cloud9. Again, the Finns closed the series with a score of 2-0, leaving little chance for the Americans.
Later ENCE beat Heroic again, and dry, and in the grand final Gamers8 faced Vitality. Again, ENCE failed to take the title, Ledgeiv with a 1-2 score.
At the ESL Pro League Season 18 Long Round of the ESL Pro League, ENCE faced off against Evil Geniuses. The North American club even gave a fight, but only on the second map (14-16 Nuke), but still lost.
ENCE Mapple
ENCE has two 100 per cent maps. They are Nuke with 9 wins in 9 matches and Anubis with 5 matches and 0 losses.
Still playing Ancient (66% wins in 3 matches). Still playing Mirage (9 matches, 4 wins). Vertigo with 2 wins and 3 losses and Overpass (2 wins in 7 matches).
Inferno are not playing.
Form mibr
Let's continue the match analysis with the analysis of mibr's form. The Brazilians will have to play as the number two.
Pre-match situation is confirmed by bookmakers. The odds on the success of mibr is at around 3.8. In general, you can work with it.
MIBR had a productive year, but not to say successful. Played in a lot of championships, but successes were achieved point by point.
We started in 2023 with a performance at the Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2023. The Brazilians finished in the top 20. Then there were several qualifications, including IEM Rio Masters 2023. At the Rio itself, they finished Top 16, but before that they won several B-tier tournaments, including ESL Challenger Season 44: North America and CCT North America Series #4.
At the S-tier championships, as unlucky as they were. ESL Pro League Season 17 had a top-28 at ESL Pro League Season 17 and a top-8 at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: American RMR, which prevented them from qualifying for the only Major of the season.
- The mibr lineup: exit, brnz4m, insani, drop, saffee.
Prior to the ESL Pro League Season 18, mibr attended a number of other tournaments. ESL Challenger League Season 45, followed by Top 1 there. But at CCT North Europe Series #6, CCT Online Finals #2 and Gamers8 2023 the successes were more modest: TOP-5-8 and TOP-16 respectively.
In the first match of ESL Pro League Season 18, mibr faced MOUZ, and it was the only match of the first round that didn't end in favour of the favourite, as the Brazilians managed to flick MOUZ 2-1.
Mapple mibr
mibr has a pretty narrow pool of cards. Among the most popular are Mirage and Nuke (2 matches and 50% wins on each).
Next is Anubis (5 matches, 2 wins). Among the worst are Inferno and Ancient (3 matches each and 1 win).
History of personal confrontations
The last time the teams played each other was in 2020. Obviously, it is not worth taking that match into account.
Predicted result of the match ENCE - mibr at ESL Pro League Season 18
Last round we saw a mini sensation in the performance of mibr, which makes us think that history may repeat itself. However, it will be harder against ENCE, as they are much stronger than MOUZ.
I still tend to believe in a 2-0 victory for ENCE, but I don't deny mibr maps.
Bottom line: 2-1 victory for ENCE.
Bookmakers & Statistics
Now, the majority of bookmaker companies believe in ENCE victory. Odds on them are equal to 1.13. According to bookmakers data, MIBR are the outsider and odds on their victory amounts 6.548.
