OG and ENCE will meet in the first round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage. Both teams have an uneasy grid, which leads to fears that one of them will fall off and not make it to the next stage.
To be honest, the OG game seems too strange to me. The team actually plays from the shooting, without going into tactical details. But now the team is doing even better than it was with nexa, although you have to admit that the squad needs changes.
There are also big questions about ENCE. Firstly, the team looks weaker and weaker with each game, while Snappi doesn't come up with anything new, relying on shooting and quick exchanges. All in all, the situation is stalemated, as both teams play without a clear structure.
And yet, for me personally, OG seems to be the team that will fail at such an important championship. So here I would rely on the victory of ENCE, which looks to be the better team, purely by name.
OG's form
The twelfth team of the world ranking with a miserable split in the grid of BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR A. And guys Long Converged from two defeats FaZe Clan and GamerLegion, although further they were frankly lucky with the grid.
After the RMR tournament, the European squad also traveled to IEM Rio 2023 where they fell to Cloud9 and Vitality to be left out of the play-offs once again.
OG also recently appeared at Brazy Party 2023, where they marked victories over GODSENT, Eternal Fire and SAW, but also Ledgeil Apeks and Cloud9, being restricted to the semi-finals.
OG's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over GODSENT.
- Defeat to Apeks by a score of 0-2.
- Defeat Eternal Fire 2-1.
- Beat SAW 2-0.
- 1-2 defeat by Cloud9.
Best OGs:
- Mirage - 75% wins.
- Ancient - 64% wins.
Don't forget that the OG squad hasn't featured on the Nuke map for a long time.
ENCE form
The ninth team of the world ranking also had problems in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where similarly lost two Long Sogpeg BO1, but then unthinkably woke up.
After a short rest, the European team also stormed into Brazy Party 2023, where they suffered an embarrassing defeat at the Long Cogpeg by SAW, literally giving up the victory on the third card.
Next up, ENCE still couldn't make the play-offs, as after a hard-fought victory over GamerLegion, the team was defeated by Astralis. All in all, the situation is debatable, although a lot can be put down to ping here.
Recent results of ENCE:
- A 2-0 win over 500.
- 2-0 win over Cloud9.
- 1-2 defeat at the hands of SAW.
- 2-1 victory over GamerLegion.
- 0-2 defeat to Astralis.
ENCE's best scores:
- Ancient - 83% wins.
- Mirage - 67% wins.
- Nuke - 67% wins.
- Vertigo - 60% wins.
In turn, the ENCE team usually gives up maps Inferno.
OG - ENCE encounter statistics
Last season the teams met once - at the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022, OG won 2-0.
OG - ENCE preview
I wouldn't look at the only face-to-face meeting, because then the teams played in different lineups, and OG was showing its best Counter-Strike in a long time.
Now the teams are about equal, based on results and overall structure. However, you automatically expect more from ENCE, because at least there is a full-fledged captain here.
OG, on the other hand, has too weak a sample of maps, which in BO1 can easily be crossed off and negate any advantages. So in this case, I would recommend betting on the ENCE team to win.
