Match Prediction: ENCE - fnatic | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Rio Major 2022ENCE and fnatic will meet in the third round of IEM Rio Major 2022, where they will try to get the second victory in the main stage of the championship. And yet it must be said in advance that this match is a real roulette.
I will explain this by the fact that both teams are extremely unstable when it comes to such equal confrontations. At the same time, fnatic showed nothing at all in the last match, taking only two rounds from Heroic.
ENCE, on the contrary, managed to recover from the initial defeat from FURIA, after which it took the Bad News Eagles one wicket. And when you consider that the sAw team will play for the third time with a team that promotes a fast style, the puzzles begin to add up.
Form ENCE
The twelfth team of the world ranking unexpectedly won the IEM Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR B, where they got three victories and made it straight into the "legends" of the major.
Then ENCE took part in the ESL Challenger at DreamHack Rotterdam 2022, where they lost to the Outsiders in the grand final and took the second final place.
As for the start at IEM Rio Major 2022, here the wards of sAw did not succeed in the game with FURIA, but then ENCE managed to deal with Bad News Eagles.

Do not forget that the European team continues to refuse the Inferno map.
fnatic form
The nineteenth team of the world ranking had a mixed performance in the first stage of IEM Rio Major 2022. On the one hand, the European team won two victories over Cloud9 and OG. On the other hand, fnatic almost lost on both occasions.
Then the team played until the fifth round, in which, after all, they won a victory over 9z. And yet, I would not say that keita's wards looked confident.
However, at the start of the main stage, fnatic managed to make a splash by outplaying Ninjas in Pajamas. Fortunately, then everything fell into place, as the team limply lost to Heroic.

Prediction for the match ENCE vs fnatic
I will continue to quote fnatic weakly, because I consider the game of this team to be primitive and default - something at the level of a strong TIER-1.5 team. In turn, in the last match, ENCE managed to open up, although there is still no result as such.
However, the wards of sAw can clearly surprise, since they have not yet shown all their capabilities. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the ENCE team.
