ENCE

The ENCE team's slump was visible long before the start of the major, but many experts wrote off the weak play at the qualification for IEM Dallas to the hidden strategies that gla1ve and his Polish quartet had prepared for the home major for the experienced captain. But we don't see any quality play from the Polish, for the most part, squad.

In the first match of the tournament, Poles could not beat Imperial Esports, having in their asset as many as three match points on extra rounds, and yesterday, gla1ve and Co. were destroyed by opponents from paiN Gaming. Moreover, ENCE barely coped with KOI, scoring a couple of match points.

As the home tournament in Katowice showed, the current roster of ENCE can be pleasantly surprising because the team made it to the playoffs, where nobody expected it. This team has a good chance to make it to the next stage of the first CS2 major, but if every player on the current roster gets involved. BO3 games are ahead, and there is no margin for error. The share of randomness is excluded, but so far, the Polish roster led by the Dane has had huge problems.

FURIA

FURIA players have repeatedly emphasized in their interviews that the status of the best team in Brazil puts pressure on them, but let's be honest, so far, FalleN and Co. don't look equal to the praise given to them by the fans of the professional CS scene. On the first game day, FURIA should forget that they lost two meetings and were not the most formidable opponents in the face of compatriots Legacy and, much more sensationally, the Chinese from Lynn Vision. Since the second game day, the Brazilians have been playing without the right to make a mistake, and every game could be the last for them.

The Brazilians leave a double impression on the new version of the game, not showing a stable game. In CS2 we have seen the FalleN squad in almost all major online and lan tournaments, but they had a positive result only at the end of last year in Finland at Elisa Masters Espoo 2023. Katowica failed, the performance at BetBoom Dacha is not admirable either.

Brazilian fans felt joy when FURIA made changes to their roster in July, bringing in legendary player and godfather of Brazilian cybersport FalleN, as well as Marcelo chelo Cespedes, instead of Rafael saffee Costa and Andre drop Abreu. Nevertheless, FURIA still has problems in various aspects of the game, and the key question is whether FalleN will have the strength to successfully face the new challenges in the Counter-Strike world and play at a high level in the next version of the game.

Expert Betting Tips

The Brazilians are singled out by bookmakers as favorites for this fight, but both teams have obvious problems in the game, which should not be ignored. Predicting a specific winner is more difficult, but here, the total is a more obvious prospect - the teams make so many mistakes that without three cards, the next elimination from the major will not be determined.
