Ennuste ottelussa CS2 Cloud9 - ENCE

Cloud9 and ENCE will meet in the last round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B. As you know, the winner of this match will go to the majors, while the loser will go to play the Last Chance Qualifier.

To be honest, I don't understand why the Cloudies are so late in the game. The feeling is that the Russian team is really tired of playing matches in recent weeks, so they can't adjust to their opponents in a timely fashion.

ENCE, on the other hand, are doing as badly as possible. The team not only fails to win the championship, but also in those games where they are winning, they do not look much better than their opponents.

Yes, the team already has two wins in BO3, but outside of Nuke, the guys are very sad. So here I would lean on Cloud9, who have already closed out ENCE twice in a season, to win.

Cloud9's form

The fifth team in the world rankings recently won the BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Europe, where they picked up three good wins, clearly playing on confidence.

Next up, Cloud9 also qualified for IEM Dallas 2023, scoring an extra hundred thousand with a solid win at the BetBoom Playlist Urbanistic 2023.

As for the performances on BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, here the Russian team managed to outplay FORZE and Eternal Fire, but at the same time failed to cope with Monte and G2 Esports, in places not coming up at all.

Cloud9's latest results:

• A 2-0 win over FORZE.
• 16-5 win over FORZE.
• 9-16 loss to Monte.
• 19-16 win over Eternal Fire.
• 0-2 defeat to G2 Esports.

Cloud9's best scores:

• Vertigo - 86% wins.
• Mirage - 79% wins.
• Overpass - 62% wins.
• Ancient - 60% wins.

Let's not forget that the Russian team continues to give up Nuke maps.

ENCE form

The ninth ranked team in the world went to the semi-finals of the recent ESL Pro League Season 17 where Ledge took on Cloud9. And the sAw wards looked a head weaker, although they took a shot at Ancient.

As for the Long Conger BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, here ENCE managed to burn Monte and FORZE, showing an inept game.

Fortunately the European team was very lucky with the seeding, as iNation and 500 were manna from heaven. But even in such matches, the team had problems, which, judging by the logic, would outscore ENCE's chances.

Recent ENCE results:

• A 1-2 defeat to Cloud9.
• Defeat to Monte with a score of 11-16.
• A 14-16 defeat at the hands of FORZE.
• 2-0 win over iNation.
• 2-0 win over 500.

ENCE's best scores:

• Ancient - 80% wins.
• Mirage - 75% wins.
• Nuke - 70% wins.
• Overpass - 60% wins.
• Vertigo - 55% wins.

In turn, the European team once again stopped playing on the Inferno map.

Cloud9 - ENCE encounter statistics

During the current season, the teams have played two meetings:

• Cloud9's 2-1 win at the IEM Katowice 2023 Play-In.
• A 2-1 victory for Cloud9 in ESL Pro League Season 17.

In both cases, they were able to play on the Vertigo card.

Cloud9 vs ENCE match prediction

Looking back at how ENCE is playing now, forget about Overpass, Vertigo and Mirage altogether. Yes, the Cloud9s are taking a long time to get going, but this is no match for them. Moreover, I doubt very much about the adaptation of ENCE, which will take away their best card, but also will not let them play Inferno.

All in all, the face-to-face stats are very telling. And the Europeans are far from their optimum form right now, both in terms of shooting and idea. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on Cloud9 to win.
