Maç Tahmini: ENCE - HEET | CS2 (CS:GO)

ENCE will face HEET on the first gaming day of Intel Extreme Masters Road to Rio 2022 Europe RMR B. The teams will compete in the third match alongside MOUZ and OG. Experts from bookmakers rightly identified ENCE as the favorite of the meeting, and in their opinion, the probability of winning is 67%, which is equivalent to a coefficient of 1.40. Is it worth betting on ENCE in this case, or will HEET surprise us? Or maybe it's better to choose some alternative market? Let's figure it out!

ENCE uniform

The European roster is still in 17th place in the HLTV ranking. After the end of EPL #16, the portal has not yet updated its rating and, given that they took 17-20th place in the tournament, there are doubts about their further stay in the top 20 of the best teams in the world. Let me remind you that the team ended up in Group C with MOUZ, Heroic, Complexity Gaming, Astralis and HEET, which they have to fight against, and in this sextet the team is in 5th position and could not reach the playoffs.

Their performance at ESL Pro League Season 16, in fact, can be limited, but other performances outside the last championship should also be touched upon.

ENCE won only one victory in EPL #16. Then they prevailed in the fight against HEET, not losing a single map to the latter, but in subsequent confrontations with Heroic, MOUZ, Astralis and Complexity Gaming, they could not only win, but even take at least one map.

After that, Snappi and his comrades competed in the qualifiers for BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2022 Europe called Pelaajat Nordic Masters Fall 2022. Only one invite to the next event was raffled off and ENCE did not win success and took 3rd-4th place. They managed to beat 777 twice, but the team could not oppose something to the opponents represented by HAVU and ECSTATIC. If HAVU is on the 42nd place in the top, then ECSTATIC is on the 72nd position in the same list, which indicates that ENCE is not in the best playing shape.

Best of all, the international squad performs at Dust 2 and Vertigo and has a 50% win rate there. On the rest of the maps, their win rate is 33.3%, 20% and 0%. This indicates a weak map pool of the team.

Game form HEET

The situation for HEET is similar to what we saw in the case of ENCE. The team occupies the 26th place in the non-updated rating and is very likely to leave the top 30 best CS:GO rosters in the world according to the version in the near future. They, like their opponents, after an unsuccessful performance at ESL, took part in another tournament at the end of September. In their case, this is ESL Challenger League Season 42 Europe. There, the roster beat SINNERS twice and lost in the fight against BLUEJAYS. HEET managed to make a small sensation at ESL Pro League Season 16. Although they didn't manage to beat even ENCE, they were quite capable of defeating Astralis, which deserves praise.

Speaking of their map selection approach, one can't help but notice that they handle Ancient and Dust 2 well. There they have 75% and 66.7% win rates. On Overpass, the team wins 50% of the time, and on Nuke and Vertigo, the win rate is 40%. The roster has never won at Inferno for 3 matches played, and at Mirage the team does not play at all. HEET played on all maps a large number of times, and therefore the statistics can be considered objective and reflecting reality.

Conclusion

Although the majority of viewers believe that ENCE can rightly be positioned in this situation as a clear favorite to win, I doubt that victory can come easily to them. Besides, I think HEET has a good chance of winning. If they were able to give a decent fight in the match against Astralis, then they are quite capable of beating ENCE.

Bookmakers offer different odds, and I like the Handicap +5.5 rounds option in favor of HEET the most. This outcome implies taking JACKZ and his teammates at least 11 rounds. I think it's more than likely and HEET might surprise us. In addition, I would risk and bet on the victory of the French. It is also worth noting that they speak the same language, while ENCE is made up of players from different nationalities. HEET's communication needs to be a cut above that of their opponents, and that definitely gives them an advantage in matches.

Final bet: Handicap +5.5 cards in favor of HEET with odds of 1.55
