ENCE and SKADE will meet in the final quarterfinals of LOOT.BET Season 9. It's hard to say which team is preferable now. However, we must not forget that SKADE looks much stronger in personal meetings.
ENCE Form
The 26th team in the world ranking not so long ago failed in the closed qualifier for FLASHPOINT 3, missing the main championship of the spring. As a result, the team changed something there, going to conquer other championships. But it turned out with big reservations, since ENCE first lost the final of the European Development Championship 3, failing to cope with SKADE, and then quickly left Spring Sweet Spring 1, having flown out already in the quarterfinals. So think that the team is constantly invited to the playoffs, and they are scattered with the chances of such a bad game.
Recent results ENCE:
- Defeat from DBL PONEY with a score of 1: 2.
- Victory over Sprout with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over Endpoint with a score of 2: 0.
- Defeat from SKADE with a score of 1: 2.
- Defeat from EPG Family with a score of 0: 2.
Best ENCE cards:
- Train - 59% wins.
- Nuke - 56% wins.
It is interesting that the team is able to play on any map. However, it cannot be said unequivocally that such cards as Vertigo and Mirage are signature for ENCE.
SKADE shape
The 22nd team in the world ranking also failed in the closed qualifier for FLASHPOINT 3. However, the Bulgarian team was not particularly upset, having immediately won the European Development Championship 3. I note that the team had a failure in the Spring Sweet Spring 1 playoffs, and even after SKADE has lost several principled matches. But the situation around the team is getting better again, since it never ceases to amaze with its well-coordinated play.
Recent SKADE results:
- Defeat from EPG Family with a score of 0: 2.
- Defeat from Endpoint with a score of 0: 2.
- Victory over Spirit Academy with a score of 2: 0.
- Victory over MAD Lions with a score of 2: 1.
- Victory over Anonymo with a score of 2: 1.
Best SKADE cards:
- Overpass - 88% wins.
- Inferno - 81% win rate.
- Mirage - 75% wins.
- Train - 70% wins.
- Vertigo - 59% wins.
The situation is a little worse on Nuke, but the team will gladly refuse this map. However, it's hard to deny that the dry numbers look impressive.
Meeting statistics ENCE - SKADE
During the current season, the teams held two meetings:
- Winning SKADE in the European Development Championship 3 with a score of 2: 0.
- Winning SKADE in the European Development Championship 3 with a score of 2: 1.
I was not mistaken, as the teams did meet twice in the same tournament.
Forecast for the match ENCE - SKADE
I don't even know what can help ENCE win. There are several reasons why the victory will go in favor of the Bulgarian team:
- Instability ENCE - only two wins in the last five meetings. Add in the weekly lack of practice.
- The statistics of ENCE - SKADE meetings speaks in favor of the Bulgarian team (4: 1, judging by the maps).
- SKADE has a strong set of cards, which gives the team a free hand.
Therefore, here I propose to bet on the victory of the SKADE team.
