ENCE vs Eternal Fire
Format: BO3
23.06.2022, 16:00
Roobet Cup 2022 is the first-ever tournament for tournament operator Roobet with a prize pool of $250,000. The tournament will be held online. There was no qualification or preliminaries. All the teams were invited to the live tournament. No matter what, the event will bring together the best teams in the world, which means we are waiting for a serious fight.
The tournament is being played in two rounds: group stage and playoff stage. In the group stage, the sixteen participating teams will be divided into four groups of four teams and play in a GSL tournament (a so-called Swiss Table, but with two wins or losses). At the end of the group stage, the playoffs will be decided by the first and second-placed teams in each group. The playoffs will be played in a single-elimination system. All tournament matches, including the grand final, will be played as BO3 matches.
One of the first matches of the second day will be between the international ENCE squad and the Turks from Eternal Fire. This match looks like a clash of equal teams directly due to the ENCE form, which leaves a lot to be desired, judging from the last tournament. Eternal Fire, on the other hand, is on the rise.

Until recently, ENCE performed well, gaining confidence from their form and showing good CS. With the arrival of a strong player like Maden, the team's play has become more confident and stable. Confidently, taking match after match, they progressed in the world rankings. They have now clearly inscribed their organization's name on the list of the world leaders of the scene, as their position in the world ranking (#3) eloquently testifies. Always playing a tier-1 event, they reached the playoffs and often the final, but their opponent proved too strong. At IEM Dallas 2022, they showed a phenomenal game. Even with substitutions (Spinx had visa problems), they reached the final, losing to a too strong and motivated Cloud9. After the final in Dallas, the ENCE team gave up. They were one of the teams in the next tournament to win, but even then failed. The ENCE didn't even make it out of the group at the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2022.
The Finnish side can play again against the best teams in the world, but they just need to make the playoffs to get there. And ENCE will be playing their first group match against a strong squad. Although ENCE approaches the encounter as favorites, victory will not come easily to them. They must show their best game and be ready for all three maps.
The latest change in the line-up was the arrival of Pavle "Maden" Bošković.
The best hltv ranking was the 2nd in the world. Currently, they are in 3rd place.
The best map is nuke, with a win rate of 83% for 18 maps played.
Eternal Fire: Motivated and ready
The Turkish squad itself is very strange. It seems that there are star players who have managed to add their name to the history of CS:GO, but they cannot show consistently good results. Then players make a mistake on a level playing field and give up their rounds, or they overpower opponents on a crazy individual game, kick a player out, and three days later, he reenters the main roster (it was a kick, not a booster). Eternal Fire seems to have everything to win and dominate the tier-2 scene, from which they can't get a foothold in tier-1. The vast experience of the individual players, the incredible individual form, the single language should be the key to victory, but something is constantly missing. What is it? I hope that they have found the answer to this question and that they will be able to show their game at the most important tournament of the year.
The Turks have been gaining a lot of form, as evidenced by the results of their recent games. They are taking their rounds very confidently, committing minimal mistakes. At this tournament, they have the opportunity to face top teams and prove to the world that they are worthy. The match against ENCE will be the first in the tournament and looks very mixed. The opponents, who are the favorites, are out of form, so it's time to turn the situation in their favor. Especially since the Turkish squad has a huge advantage on dust2 and overpass maps, there should be no problem with their choice.
The latest change in the line-up was the arrival of Yasin "xfl0ud" Koç.
