Ennuste ottelussa CS2 Virtus.pro - ENCE

Virtus.pro and ENCE will meet in the ESL Challenger Katowice 2023 Grand Final. It's a rather heterogeneous game here, as the teams have already played each other in the group, and the Bears were victorious back then.

Now ENCE clearly warmed up, with a confident win over FORZE. However, the Russian side didn't let anything happen in their semi-final either, showing a bright game.

Personally, I think it's hard for ENCE to play against Virtus.pro, which dries up the game. And if it wasn't a fluke in the group, now the Europeans can also stall. So here I would lean on the card from the Virtus.pro team.

Virtus.pro form.

The 22nd ranked team in the world has had a lot of trouble in recent months, most notably failing in the RMR tournament and at BetBoom Playlist Freedom 2023.

However, the Russian team decided to come to ESL Challenger Katowice 2023 with two wins over Party Astronauts and ENCE in the group, and along with that a quick progression to the semi-finals.

Here, too, Virtus.pro didn't notice 9z at all, showing two confident victories. And if a team shows such a game, the point of making any substitutions is very doubtful.

Virtus.pro's latest results:

• A 0-2 loss to MOUZ.
• Defeat at the hands of 1WIN by a score of 0-2.
• Beat Party Astronauts 16-13.
• Victory to ENCE, 19-17.
• Beat 9z 2-0.

Top scores for Virtus.pro:

• Ancient - 40% wins.
• Mirage - 25% wins.

It is worth recalling that the Russian team has consistently failed to play on the Nuke map.

ENCE uniforms

The fourth-ranked team in the world recently won IEM Dallas 2023, where they didn't suffer a single defeat, and confidently shut out MOUZ in the grand final.

However, the European side ran into trouble in the group stage of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023 as they beat Bravado Gaming and Party Astronauts but also failed to beat Virtus.pro.

On the other hand, ENCE looked good in the semi-finals, where they beat FORZE without a chance. Still, another game against Virtus.pro offers little doubt as to whether there will be a dry run.

Recent ENCE results:

• A 2-0 win over MOUZ.
• Victory over Bravado Gaming with a score of 16-11.
• A 17-19 loss to Virtus.pro.
• Beat Party Astronauts 2-0.
• 2-0 win over FORZE.

Top ENCE scores:

• Nuke - 85% wins.
• Ancient - 75% wins.
• Anubis - 62% wins.
• Vertigo - 60% wins.
• Mirage - 50% wins.

In turn, the European squad continues to deny Inferno.

Forecast for the Virtus.pro vs ENCE match

Several approaches can be cited here, each of which will be entitled to life. However, in fact, ENCE remains the favourite of the meeting, even despite losing in the group stage.

On the other hand, Virtus.pro is clearly ready to create problems for ENCE again, especially since the Russian team can surprise in style. All in all, everyone has their own logic.

Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the Forum by map (+1.5) for the Virtus.pro team.
