Match Prediction: ENCE - MOUZ | CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Pro League Season 18Welcome to EGamersWorld.
Slowly but surely, ESL Pro League Season 18 is reaching its end. There are 4 teams left in the race for the $200,000 grand prize, as well as a trip to IEM Katowice 2024 and BLAST Premier Fall Finals 2023. However, after this match, there will be 2 participants.
The right to play in the Grand Final will be contested by ENCE and MOUZ. The European derby with the participation of, not afraid of this word, the BEST teams at this tournament, promises to be hot.
We will try to find out who will be stronger in this difficult match and tomorrow we will play the winner of NaVi vs Monte. I'm sure we are in for a great game.
ENCE form
Let's open the match analysis with the analysis of ENCE's form. The Finnish club is the favourite in this match.
This is indicated by the esport betting sites. In this match the odds for the victory of ENCE are at 1.75.
Such a figure is quite understandable. ENCE throughout the year showed a good CS, and the Pro League was vigorous, and therefore the minimum advantage behind them.
During the season the team took the top 3 on CCT Central Europe Malta Vibes, top 4 on ESL Pro League Season 17, and also got to the 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 faced MIBR in the match to reach the final of the top grid of Group B at ESL Pro League Season 18. The new generation of the legendary Brazilian tag showed beautiful CSGO, and it was enough for one map.
Before the play-offs, ENCE defeated BIG in a match to advance to the quarter-finals. The game ended 2-1, and ENCE were the winner of their group.
In the quarter-finals ENCE played against Movistar Riders. As expected, the Spaniards could not offer proper resistance and were swept on two maps (16-2 Overpass and 16-5 Anubis).
ENCE Mapple
ENCE has two 100% 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).
Do not play Inferno.
Form MOUZ.
MOUZ will oppose ENCE to qualify for the grand final. The German club is playing as the number two, but the gap is minimal.
This is indicated by the bookmakers themselves. The odds for a MOUZ victory are at around 2.08.
MOUZ are left behind because of the overall playing level of the teams. ENCE are having a better year, but MOUZ are looking amazing in ESL Pro League Season 18.
MOUZ's main achievement this season is reaching the finals of Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2023. There they battled ENCE, but were defeated 0-2.
Prior to Long Cologne IEM Cologne MOUZ made a splash at the Elisa Invitational Spring 2023. They failed to jump above the top 4 - they were beaten by Apeks on their way to the Grand Final.
Back in the season, they made it to the top 8 at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A, and then to the event itself. It didn't end well, as the team finished Top-24 at Major e.
- MOUZ line-up: frozen, siuhy, torzsi, Jimpphat, xertioN.
IEM Cologne 2023 will be a test for the new line-up of the "mice". After Elisa Spring, siuhy, who previously played for GamerLegion, and Jimpphat, who came from the youth team of MOUZ Nxt, joined the squad.
In the debut match the revamped MOUZ roster played against The MongolZ. An easy outing on paper ended in a nervous Bo1 on the dopes, followed by a 22-19 win for MOUZ on Nuke.
Already in the match to qualify for the group stage MOUZ were much more confident. They beat NiP 2-0 (16-12 Nuke and 16-7 Inferno) without any problems.
The first match of the group stage was not a big challenge for MOUZ either. NaVi lost at Ancient with a score of 16-9 and Overpass with a score of 16-12.
After beating NaVi, MOUZ failed to gain a foothold and lost the next two series. As a result, the "mice" at IEM Cologne 2023 took the top 12.
Before ESL Pro League Season 18, the team played at the local championship Thunderpick World Championship 2023: European Series #1. They managed to win, defeating BIG 2-0 in the grand finals.
In their debut match at ESL Pro League Season 18, MOUZ faced mibr. Being the favourites, MOUZ failed to defeat the Brazilians and unexpectedly ended up in the bottom of Group B.
The group stage was a mixed bag for MOUZ, but still more successful than not. An unexpected defeat in the top set cheered MOUZ up and they effortlessly went over the heads of their opponents, Heroic among them, at the bottom of the group stage table. Having not lost a single game in the lower grid, MOUZ made it here.
In the first round of the ESL Pro League Season 18 play-offs, MOUZ seemed to be off the chain. The Brazilians from FURIA were literally stomped, and the "mice" celebrated an easy 2-0 victory, giving their opponents a total of 9 rounds per game.
In the match before that MOUZ met another grandee of the European scene - FaZe Clan. "Mice" on a spree swept through the match and closed the series with a score of 2-0.
In the match for the exit here MOUZ met G2 Esports. They became the next trophy in the Mouse's piggy bank at ESL Pro League S18.
MOUZ Mapple
Inferno remains MOUZ's favourite map. Over the last 3 months, the Mice have played it three times and won all their games there. Nuke is also doing well, with MOUZ winning 3 out of 4 Nuke games played.
Among the good options are Vertigo and Ancient, where MOUZ have 2 wins in 3 games each.
The most undesirable map is Mirage. MOUZ have played it 6 times, but won only once.
History of head-to-head meetings
The last time the teams played each other was in the finals of IEM Dallas 2023, in June this year. ENCE won the tournament and became the champion of the tournament.
Predicted result of ENCE vs MOUZ at ESL Pro League Season 18
From this match I expect, first of all, a beautiful CS. Both teams have proven their professionalism and each of them can become the champion of the tournament. I like MOUZ more, because after Long Sogpeg's crumpled group they rolled over their opponents, which included, for a second, teams of FaZe and G2 Esports rank. Nevertheless, it's not going to be an easy ride right now.
The most obvious outcome I would call the total +2.5. This is what we will bet on.
Bottom line: total +2.5.
The team ENC will play for a place in the final against the team MAUZ.
The match is as close and complicated as possible, but it can be sorted out and as an option to take one of the cards in the express, the match is very strong pulling the total more as a separate option.
The guys from Enz in 1/4 crossed paths briefly in Muvistar Raiders. It really was very fast and didn't hurt, dae maps with TM. The Spanish came into the server already dead. It's a coin with two completely different sides. You get into the next stage easily and easily, BUT you don't get proper practice. You can relax your farts and that's it, especially since the first card is the opponent's choice. I will take the Mice's first card as a general prediction, it's a +1.5 handicap on the game, but more for the press.
The Mice proved yesterday that they are no shamers and closed out G2. There were three maps, there were a lot of interesting rounds, flips, in general a good warm-up for the semi-final. In the moment could go to the second map on the dopes and generally close JITU 2:0. In general, if they keep their conditioning, it will be an easy first map for them in the match with Enns, while they are indupipaney what to what.
It is not clear until the end who will take, and to decide pre-match, such should be watched and decided in the course of the match. Pour on the first, and then as it goes, TB 2.5 here looms very close.

All bookmakers have agreed that MOUZ is the favorite. This can be noticed because odds on them are 1.65. This number in the favor of ENCE amounts 4.914. Respectively, the last ones are the underdogs of the upcoming match.
