ENCE eSports will be up against Virtus.Pro in the first round of the IEM Winter 2021 group stage. On whose side will luck turn out to be?
ENCE eSports
In the previous six games, the arrows from ENCE eSports were able to win only one victory, in the match of the first round of the group stage of the DreamHack Open November 2021 - 2:0 over forZe, but then lost in the next two and were eliminated, taking 5-6 places. And before that there was an even more deplorable result: 15-16 places at PGL Major Stockholm 2021, where the ENCE eSports team did not win a single victory, and did not win a single card, losing 7-16 to Gambit Esports, 8-16 to Team Liquid and 0-2 MOUZ.
Virtus.Pro
For almost a month, the bears did not perform at tournaments, and all because the results have recently been close to failure. If CIS managed to take a fairly high fourth place at IEM Fall 2021, then after that things deteriorated significantly. First there were 5-8 places at the BLAST Premier Fall Showdown 2021, then the same 5-8 in the PGL Major Stockholm 2021, and a week later the guys from Virtus.Pro disgraced themselves at the REPUBLEAGUE TIPOS Season 2, losing in the 1/8 finals to the Turkish team Eternal Fire (1-2).
Forecast
Virtus.Pro is a mystery, as it has not pleased with its game for a long time, taking a break after several failed performances. ENCE eSports is more active, but the results are also mostly negative. I think I'll bet the guys from Virtus on winning.Pro, who, at least due to individual skill, should win.
