ENCE and Astralis will meet in the Group B final at IEM Dallas 2023. While the winner will go straight to the semi-finals, the loser will move on to the quarter-finals.
Here, by the way, is a very interesting match, since both teams have played very well at this championship. It's all the more pleasing to see Astralis pulling away and trying to get back to winning ways.
In turn, the day before, ENCE routinely outplayed FaZe Clan, but there was no opponent there either. In general, we face two close teams, each of which deserves to win. Therefore, I would rely on three maps here.
ENCE form
The world's eleventh ranked team first went through BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage confidently, where they proved stronger than OG, Ninjas in Pyjamas and FaZe Clan.
However, in the main stage of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, the European team frankly fell apart, going home with three defeats and just one victory over Bad News Eagles.
However, ENCE quickly rehabilitated themselves at the Long Conpeg of the IEM Dallas 2023 group stage, where they first shut down Complexity Gaming and then crushed FaZe Clan once again.
ENCE's latest results:
- A 13-16 defeat to Vitality.
- Defeat to Into the Breach with a score of 7-16.
- A 0-2 loss to Ninjas in Pyjamas.
- 16-7 victory over Complexity Gaming.
- 2-0 win over FaZe Clan.
Top ENCE scores:
- Nuke - 75% wins.
- Ancient - 67% wins.
- Vertigo - 60% wins.
- Anubis - 57% wins.
- Mirage - 50% wins.
It should not be forgotten that the European squad continues to give up on Inferno.
Form Astralis
The 25th ranked team in the world didn't show anything at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B but managed to take second place at the Brazy Party 2023 right afterwards.
After a short rest, Astralis couldn't qualify for Gamers8 2023, but at the same time won CCT South Europe Series 4, where they passed such rivals as Aurora, OG and Eternal Fire.
As for Long Sorpeg in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, here the Danish squad posted wins over Team Liquid and Cloud9, showing a really good game against the background of past failures.
Recent results for Astralis:
- A 2-0 victory over Aurora.
- 2-1 win over OG.
- Beat Eternal Fire 2-1.
- Victory over Team Liquid, 19-17.
- Beat Cloud9 2-0.
Astralis top scorers:
- Overpass - 85% wins.
- Ancient - 79% wins.
- Vertigo - 56% wins.
- Nuke - 50% wins.
- Inferno - 50% wins.
In turn, the Danish team has consistently turned down Anubis.
ENCE - Astralis meeting statistics
In the current season the teams played one meeting - on Brazy Party 2023 the victory went to Astralis (2-0).
ENCE vs Astralis
I'm very curious to see how the teams will play in this format. And I understand that there is no point in relying on the face-to-face encounter, which was still before the major, and took place online.
In any case, Astralis has already made a great leap, making it into the play-offs. And ENCE are still trying to be quick and aggressive, which sometimes pays off.
In such a format it is difficult to identify a favorite, and both teams are worth each other. Therefore in this case I would recommend betting on Total 2.5 over.
