Match Prediction: G2 Esports - ENCE | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Dallas 2022G2 and ENCE will meet in the IEM Dallas 2022 group stage semi-finals. The winner of this meeting will definitely be in the playoffs, since three teams from each group go there at once. But if G2 does not leave a clear impression yet, then ENCE, given the forced replacement of its strongest player, may not finish the game at certain moments. As a result, we get an equal match, in which naked shooting will decide a lot.
Form G2
The seventh team in the world ranking failed at PGL Major Antwerp 2022, stopping one step away from reaching the playoffs. As for the start at IEM Dallas 2022, here the team did not feel the Spaniards from Movistar Riders at all. I'm not sure that it's logical to judge by one map, but I got the impression that NiKo tuned in well for the championship, literally gaining a rating of 1.93.
And yet, based on past experience, in key matches, and as such it will be, G2 is experiencing problems. It remains only to wait for the start of the meeting to try to figure out another brilliant plan from Aleksib.
Latest G2 results:
- Victory over Imperial with a score of 16:12.

- Victory over Movistar Riders with a score of 16:5.
Best G2 Maps:
- Inferno - 100% win rate.
- Dust 2 - 75% win rate.
- Vertigo - 50% of wins.
At the same time, we understand that the team will definitely refuse the Overpass map.
Form ENCE
The third team in the world ranking reached the semi-finals of PGL Major Antwerp 2022, where they lost to NAVI without a chance. As for IEM Dallas 2022, even before the start of the championship, the team lost Spinx, who failed to get a visa to the USA.
Nevertheless, even with Snax, the team looked good, getting a confident victory over MOUZ. It's too early to say that ENCE has some problems on this ground, but in BO3 and on other maps, difficulties may arise. In the end, we can only wait and see.

Forecast for the match G2 — ENCE
It's hard to pick a favorite. On the one hand, G2 showed good defense in the first match, but you have to make allowances for the opponent and the overall decline of the team over the distance. On the other hand, ENCE seems to be showing a cool CS for the last two or three months, but the team is playing with a substitute.
Therefore, taking into account the results of the last major, I would recommend betting more on Card Total 2.5. At the same time, based on the possible maps, G2 can be a little more confident on Dust 2, as well as ENCE has been surprising on Nuke and Ancient lately.
