Prediction for forZe — ENCE ESL Pro League Season 17 from 03/19/2023

FORZE and ENCE meet in the grand final of Group D at ESL Pro League Season 17

FORZE and ENCE will compete in the group D grand final at ESL Pro League Season 17. This is an unexpected combination of teams, given their semi-final opponents and the failures of other leaders. Note that both teams have already guaranteed themselves a place in the playoffs, but now they have to fight for a direct path to the quarterfinals.

FORZE has pleased with its game in the tournament, despite the weak results in recent weeks. ENCE, in turn, had good luck in choosing opponents, so it’s worth paying attention to their maps. Below are the results and statistics of the teams.

FORZE Form

• 32nd place in the world ranking.
• Unsuccessful performance at CCT Central Europe Malta Finals 1, without reaching the playoffs.
• Successful qualification for BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR.
• Failure in the closed qualifiers at ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023, losing to HONORIS and ECSTATIC.
• Success in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17, victories over Natus Vincere and Team Spirit.
• Avoiding the Vertigo card.

Form ENCE

• 20th place in the world ranking.
• Failed at IEM Katowice 2023 Play-In, crashed after losing to Cloud9 and Complexity Gaming.
• Third place at CCT Central Europe Malta Finals 1.
• Victories over ATK and Rare Atom at the start of the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 17.

Statistics of FORZE and ENCE meetings

• The teams had one meeting last season at Pinnacle Winter Series 2, where FORZE won 2-1.

Prediction for the match between FORZE and ENCE

FORZE has shown improved motivation, and in the current state, the team could surprise yet again. ENCE is definitely not stronger than Natus Vincere or Team Spirit, and against the backdrop of map selection, the team has a weak spot. Given the instability of the European team and the need to play in a new line-up, it is recommended to bet on a handicap on cards (+1.5) for the FORZE team.
