Prédiction de match: forZe - ENCE {{CS2 (CS:GO)
ESL Challenger Katowice 2023FORZE and ENCE will meet in the second semi-final of ESL Challenger Katowice 2023. And this is where The International is heresy, as the European squad is clearly giving their opponents chances, otherwise how can we explain the defeat by Virtus.pro in the group.
Moreover, the Russian team has gained a good condition, showing a good game. Also, do not forget that FORZE has always disadvantaged ENCE this season, which can definitely be used as a starting point.
In general, the Europeans are considered favourites, but even a dry win is very hard for me to believe. So here I would lean on the FORZE team card.

- FORZE win in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B by a score of 16-14.
Interestingly, in both cases the teams played on the Anubis card.
FORZE vs ENCE match prediction
It seems to me that ENCE doesn't put up much, although it is still the strongest team in this championship. However, the fact that the European team has already suffered one defeat already, knocks down the whole picture.
What's more, FORZE are a very serious team, which has improved again this season and is looking good in big matches. All in all, the Russian team can clearly count on one card.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the Forum on map (+1.5) for the FORZE team.
