Match Prediction: ENCE - Heroic | CS2 (CS:GO)
BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 EuropeENCE and Heroic will meet in the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 Europe semi-finals. Another equal duel in which each team has a good chance of winning. However, I don't agree with odds that overestimate Heroic's odds. Still, the Danes play too relaxed, and that's why they made unforced mistakes against the background of the Asians.
Form ENCE
The fifth team of the world ranking became the fourth at PGL Major Antwerp 2022: European RMR. The team fulfilled its tasks, even though it did not manage to get directly into the "legends" of the major. As for the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 Europe, in the quarterfinals ENCE quite confidently outplayed Copenhagen Flames. And if there is still work to be done on the Mirage map, the problems on Vertigo and Ancient are practically solved.
Latest ENCE results:
- Defeat from Astralis with a score of 11:16.
- Victory over HEET with a score of 16:8.
- Victory over Anonymo with a score of 2:0.
- Defeated by NIP with a score of 1:2.
- 2:1 victory over Copenhagen Flames.
Best ENCE cards:
- Nuke - 86% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 75% win rate.
- Ancient - 62% of wins.
- Overpass - 58% of wins.
- Mirage - 55% of wins.
Let me remind you that ENCE has not played on the Inferno map for a long time.
Form Heroic
The world ranked fourth team raced through the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR A, winning three matches. It's safe to say that the Danes have reached the peak of their form - the main thing is not to lose their full potential. There is no need to talk about the quarterfinals of BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2022 Europe, since Heroic, as expected, destroyed Team NKT with a score of 2:0. Another point is that on Nuke the team gave a reason to be nervous, because they even had to recoup.
Heroic's latest results:
- Lost to Liquid with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over forZe with a score of 16:9.
- Victory over fnatic with a score of 16:9.
- Victory over NAVI with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over NKT with a score of 2:0.
Best Heroic Maps:
- Vertigo - 83% of wins.
- Inferno - 83% of wins.
- Overpass - 75% of wins.
- Nuke - 75% win rate.
- Mirage - 67% of wins.
But if the team basically does not play Dust 2, then everything is sad with Ancient now.
Statistics of meetings ENCE — Heroic
As part of the last season, the teams had one meeting - Heroic won at ESL Pro League Season 14 (2:1).
Prediction for the match ENCE — Heroic
An ambiguous meeting, since the teams have an equal chance of success. First of all, both teams are doing great on Nuke. At the same time, the Danes have problems with Ancient, which ENCE can take advantage of. In addition, Snappi and the company still surprises with its tenacity, tied, first of all, to shooting. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on Handicap by cards (+1.5) for the ENCE team.
Here we'll talk about the map pool of commands, which is more or less clear. Permanent ban of two cards Dust2 and Inferno. It is unlikely that teams will want to play maps that they do not play at all at this stage of the tournament. According to the first picks, I think Heroic will be Vertigo and ENCE will be Ancient. As for me, so obvious peaks. Well, the last card that we are not particularly interested in in this forecast will be, I think, Nuke. Here, based on the peaks, we can assume that there will be three cards. As a fallback, you can try on TB2.5
