FaZe Clan and ENCE will play in the first round of PGL Major Antwerp 2022. For some reason, it seems to me that the leader of the world ranking will not be able to wake up by the first round of the Major, having shown half of his capabilities. In turn, ENCE, so to speak, has already managed to warm up during the tournament, losing only once. In any case, an interesting match awaits us, in which there is no clear favorite.
FaZe Clan form
The first team of the world ranking became the third in the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Europe RMR A. But I would like to draw attention to two things: 1) a very controversial victory over Vitality; 2) defeat from BIG. It was the Germans who showed that FaZe Clan has problems that go beyond the individual wagering of veterans. And given that the team started training recently, there is a chance to see mistakes.
Latest FaZe Clan results:
- Victory over ENCE with a score of 3:1.
- Victory over Eternal Fire with a score of 16:4.
- Victory over Vitality with a score of 16:14.
- Defeated by BIG with a score of 0:2.
- Victory over MOUZ with a score of 2:0.
Best FaZe Clan maps:
- Nuke - 80% win rate.
- Inferno - 77% of wins.
- Overpass - 71% of wins.
- Mirage - 67% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 56% win rate
I think FaZe Clan will once again refuse the Vertigo card.
Form ENCE
The third team in the world ranking did an excellent job in the first stage of PGL Major Antwerp 2022. Yes, the team lost to G2, it seems to me, having made a large number of individual miscalculations. But ENCE still fulfilled its task in the class, without feeling the Bad News Eagles. In addition, the team has long been showing space training, excellent interaction in pairs. In this regard, I have certain hopes for a sensation.
Latest ENCE results:
- Victory over Astralis with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over 9z with a score of 16:7.
- Victory over the Outsiders with a score of 16:6.
- Lost to G2 with a score of 1:2.
- 2-0 victory over Bad News Eagles.
Best ENCE cards:
- Nuke - 88% of wins.
- Ancient - 69% of wins.
- Dust 2 - 67% of wins.
- Mirage - 54% of wins.

Let me remind you that ENCE has not played on the Inferno map for a long time.

Prediction for the match FaZe Clan — ENCE
As I said, I have some concerns about FaZe Clan's condition at the start of the tournament. Moreover, the team has already had similar problems before, pointing to shortcomings in the preparation.
In turn, the wards of sAw have already managed to prove themselves, once again showing a cool CS from the point of view of that very preparation. Well, you shouldn’t remember about shooting - these guys can shoot many. Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the ENCE team.
