Match Prediction: NaVi - ENCE | CS2 (CS:GO)

NAVI and ENCE will meet in the group stage of IEM Katowice 2022. No matter how good the Europeans shoot, they constantly have problems against big clubs. Plus, I don't think that in the two weeks after BLAST, Born to Win didn't work on the bugs. And don't forget that NAVI is always the favorite at LAN tournaments.

Form NAVI

The first team of the world ranking performed terribly at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2022. First, the team lost to MIBR and Astralis at the group stage, and then failed in the first match against NIP. And yet, the team coped with its task, knocking out the Swedes for the second time, and then making it to the spring finals. I believe that a cold shower did good for NAVI, which clearly intends to rehabilitate itself.

Latest NAVI results:

• Lost to MIBR with a score of 11:16.
• Defeated by Astralis with a score of 17:19.
• The victory over Liquid with a score of 2:0.
• Defeated by NIP with a score of 1:2.
• Victory over NIP with a score of 2:0.

The best NAVI maps:

• Nuke - 88% of wins.
• Dust 2 - 80% of wins.
• Inferno - 71% of wins.
• Mirage - 50% of wins.
• Overpass - 50% of wins.

Well, traditionally the team does not play on the Vertigo map.

Form ENCE

The 23rd team of the world ranking with grief in half made it to the group stage of IEM Katowice 2022. I can’t say that the team shone in the Play-In, but it was not bad in terms of shooting. And yet, ENCE has a number of problems that are clearly visible in big matches. In fairness, the team played poorly against GODSENT, at some point risking losing. Therefore, I doubt that Snappi and company will create problems for NAVI.

Latest ENCE results:

• Defeat from Virtus.pro with a score of 17:19.
• Defeated by fnatic with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over Entropiq with a score of 16:9.
• Lost to OG with a score of 0:2.
• Victory over GODSENT with a score of 2:1.

Best ENCE cards:

• Overpass - 50% of wins.
• Mirage - 50% of wins.

I won't be surprised if the team continues to ban the Inferno map.

Statistics of meetings NAVI — ENCE

As part of the last season, the teams had one meeting - at ESL Pro League Season 14, NAVI won (2:0).

Prediction for the match NAVI — ENCE

I still have doubts about the conditions of ENCE, since the team, with the exception of shooting, does not offer anything specific. Moreover, this idea never worked for ENCE in big matches. On the plus side, we understand that it is convenient for NAVI to play on LAN, since any minor drawback in preparation is leveled this way. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the NAVI team with a score of 2:0.
