ENCE is a team of a Finnish organization, but only coach sAw is the only Finn left in the team. If we do not take into account HAVU, ENCE must have a fierce support of the fans, because unlike the same HAVU, they have a great chance to win the home championship.
The Rio major was a failure for the ENCE, because the team did not go to the playoffs, starting with the legends stage and ending it with a score of 2-3 against MOUZ in the decisive BO3. The only bright spot for the team at the tournament in Brazil was the victory over Vitality (2-0).
It is important for ENCE to play well in front of their home crowd to be eligible for IEM Katowice 2023, as the team may not have a better opportunity.
BIG
The German team was able to surprise their fans and experts at the last Rio major. BIG led 2-0 on the legends stage, but failed to make the playoffs. Even that result can be considered good given recent results.
The Germans continue to have a problem with map pool. They can play Dust II, Nuke, Mirage and even Vertigo, but the win rates there are below 50%. All of these maps were most often played by the Germans in Brazil, but all of them are also played by ENCE. The home advantage should help the opponents significantly, although BIG has repeatedly proved their willingness to face the crowd.

ENCE Handicap (-2.5) rounds for 1.77 at 1xbet;
