G2 Team Stats and Latest Results
G2 (#2 World Rank) are going into this tilt as favorites despite losing the previous two matches, including the final of the Dream Hack Masters Spring 2020 Europe. G2 had a 2-0 lead in the final, but #8 BIG managed to come from behind and secure a 3-2 win in an exciting finish. G2 failed to recover from that defeat and suffered a 0-2 loss to #10 Vitality in the opening round of this tournament. When it comes to the maps, G2 are the most successful on Nuke (62.3 winning percentage, 114 times played), and Dust2 (61.3%, 199 times played).
On the other hand, they obviously don’t prefer playing on Mirage (49.2%, 126 times played) and Overpass (50.7%, 148 times played). G2’s current lineup consists of: JaCkz (1.03 Rating), huNter- (1.14), kennyS (1.14), AmaNEk (1.06), and nexa (1.09). This lineup played together on 156 maps since October 2019 and has a record of 90 wins and 66 losses. G2 won four trophies so far, but they are without one since 2017 and DreamHack Masters Malmo.
ENCE Team Stats and Latest Results
ENCE (#18) are underdogs in this tilt, even though they lost just one of the previous seven matches, and it was against #3 FaZe in the opening round of this tournament. ENCE qualified to the BLAST Premier Spring 2020 Europe Finals through the Showdown, where they recorded four wins and two draws. Train (67.8 winning percentage, played 118 times) is ENCE’s favorite map so far, as well as Dust2 (61.1%, 126 times played), while they are not playing particularly well on Inferno (42.0%, 88 times played).
Vitality’s current lineup consists of: allu (1.10 Rating), Aerial (1.12), suNny (1.07), sergej (1.16), and Jamppi (1.18).

G2 vs. ENCE H2H Record
These rivals have met on four occasions so far, and G2 have a 3-1 lead. They are on a three-game winning streak and have a 7-4 map lead. They haven’t met this year yet.
G2 vs. ENCE Betting Preview
G2 didn’t have enough luck at the previous tournament, and they failed to open this one with a win, so I believe they cannot afford to lose this match. They are the favorites in this encounter; however, three of four H2H tilts produced a maximum of three maps while we saw three overtimes in that span. I am sure ENCE will fight until the last breath, and that’s why I am going with Over 2.5 maps.
