Prediction on match CS2 Gambit Esports - ENCE

Gambit and ENCE will meet in the first round of PGL Major Stockholm 2021. The Russian team is, as expected, the favorite of the tournament, while ENCE acts as a "dark horse". But if Gambit manages to wake up, no shooting will save the Europeans.

Gambit Form

The fourth team in the world ranking became the winner of the IEM Fall 2021 CIS, having closed NAVI in the final. However, the integrity of that meeting remains in doubt, even if it does not touch the merits of the team. In any case, after that, Gambit managed to fly to the Elisa Invitational Fall 2021, where, after a successful game against HAVU, it completely lost to Copenhagen Flames. Nevertheless, I am sure that in two weeks Gambit managed to get used to the format.

Recent Gambit results:

• Victory over Virtus.pro with a score of 4: 0.
• Defeat Entropiq with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over NAVI with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over NAVU with a score of 2: 0.
• Lost to Copenhagen Flames with a score of 0: 2.

Best Gambit Cards:

• Overpass - 100% wins.
• Vertigo - 86% wins.
• Mirage - 71% wins.
• Ancient - 50% wins.

It is important to note that the team will not play on Nuke - the opponent's best map. At the same time, Gambit feels great on Dust 2.

ENCE form

The tenth team in the world ranked perfectly prepared for PGL Major Stockholm 2021, qualifying for the Legends without a headache. But it should be noted that in three matches ENCE had a shot from Nuke, while on Dust 2 the team was lame (note). In any case, the team shoots at a frantic level, even if there are sometimes problems with solutions. However, I hardly believe that ENCE will be able to play as well against Gambit.

Recent results ENCE:

• Defeat FunPlus Phoenix with a score of 2: 0.
• Victory over GODSENT with a score of 16:10.
• Lost to FaZe Clan with a score of 12:16.
• Defeat MOUZ with a score of 16:11.
• Victory over BIG with a score of 2: 1.

Best ENCE cards:

• Mirage - 85% wins.
• Nuke - 70% wins.
• Overpass - 60% wins.
• Dust 2 - 57% wins.

In this case, the team will definitely refuse the Inferno card. But I would not forget that the team has a beautifully played Ancient.

Forecast for the match Gambit - ENCE

The Russian team should definitely not pick Mirage, and Ancient does not seem to be a logical choice in our format. However, on all other maps, Gambit has a clear advantage, because ENCE played too much on Nuke. And do not forget who is the favorite. Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the Gambit team.
