Match Prediction: ENCE Academy - Young Ninjas | Counter-Strike (CS2)
WePlay Academy League Season 5ENCE Academy and Young Ninjas will play in the group stage of WePlay Academy League Season 5. On paper, the Finnish team looks interesting and promising, but so far I'm not sure that ENCE Academy can surprise and jump above its head.
In turn, the Swedes recruited an experienced squad for the tournament without reinventing the wheel. In terms of experience, Young Ninjas clearly wins, but there are still problems in the game. And yet, against the background of the opponent, the Swedish team looks a little more preferable, even in BO1.
Uniform ENCE Academy
The Finnish team appeared just a month ago, practically without playing anywhere. Recently, the team took part in the qualifiers for the Esportal Bybit Open 2022, but lost there in the first BO1 as well.
As for the start in the group stage of WePlay Academy League Season 5, here ENCE Academy already has three victories, though two of them are technical (over Young Gods). Well, at the same time, the team has already managed to lose to OG Academy and BIG Academy, so it's hard to judge for now.

Young Ninja uniform
The 73rd team of the world ranking had a good start in the group stage of WePlay Academy League Season 5, getting four victories. And now the Swedish team is on the third line, slightly behind the leader.
On the plus side, Young Ninjas is still showing a good game in terms of struggle and results, although one shouldn't have expected anything else from such a roster. In any case, the team should have enough experience, since the opponent is clearly playing well so far.

Prediction for the match ENCE Academy — Young Ninjas
I think it all comes down to experience. The Swedes presented a good line-up in terms of the history of performances on stage, while ENCE Academy has just gathered its youth, which plays less than once.
As for the maps, the only concern may be Overpass, where the Swedes are not so good. However, the Finnish team still seems to me not well-played, even for the BO1 format.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Young Ninjas team.
