ENCE Team Stats and Latest Results
ENCE opened this tournament with a pair of victories over Heroic and Natus Vincere, and even though they lost to GODSENT, which was a bit of upset because GODSENT is 1-3, ENCE responded with a surprising 2-0 win over G2. Natus Vincere and ENCE have nine points and lead in Group A, so ENCE has a chance to practically secure a playoff spot with a win on Sunday. They won five of the previous eight matches.
During the last three months, ENCE displayed decent performances on Train (62.5%), Dust2 (60.0%), and Mirage (60.0%), while they failed to impress on Nuke (28.6%). Although they are playing with the current lineup since June this year, these five players appeared on just 16 maps together and have a record of nine wins and seven losses. The lineup consists of allu (1.02 rating), Aerial (0.97), sunny (0.93), sergej (0.98), and Jamppi (1.01).
AGO Team Stats and Latest Results
AGO is not playing well recently and they won just two maps out of possible nine so far at this tournament. The Polish team lost to BIG in the opening game at the ESL Pro League Season 12 Europe, and although they responded with a 2-1 victory over Heroic, they returned to the losing ways against OG and Natus Vincere. AGO lost seven of the last ten games.
When it comes to the maps in the previous three months, AGO was pretty good on Vertigo (66.7%) and Train (62.5%), but they struggled on Nuke (30.0%) and Dust2 (36.4%). AGO’s current lineup was also assembled in June 2020, but unlike ENCE’s, AGO’s played together on 72 maps and has a record of 36 wins and 36 losses. The team members are oskarish (0.92), Furlan (1.06), GruBy (1.05), mhL (1.20), and F1KU (1.11).

ENCE vs. AGO Betting Preview
AGO has been in a disappointing form of late and they are pretty much out of this tournament, so I seriously doubt their motivation in this match. ENCE, on the other side, is very close to secure their place in the playoffs and I don’t think they will miss the opportunity to get a win here and improve to 4-1, which would make their job easier in the next matches. Feel free to back ENCE in this one.
