The best Counter-Strike bookmakers have ENCE priced as 1.48 favourites to defeat Young Ninjas, who are 2.40 underdogs for the upcoming series. While there is a substantial price gap, given the two teams' strength, it doesn't sound too wrong.
- ENCE (#26) are better ranked than Young Ninjas (#95)
- Young Ninjas are an academy team
- Young Ninjas are in bad form
Head to Head
ENCE and Young Ninjas have never met before.
ENCE Form
ENCE are 4-6 from their last ten series, which is far from great. Moreover, they are 1-4 from their last five, with just one victory against ENTERPRISE (0-2) and four losses against kONO.ECF (10-13), KOI (1-13), UNiTY (7-13), and Monte (1-2).
This is not a good look for ENCE and not a record you would expect to see from a world no.26 ranked team. So even though ENCE still are capable of much more, it's easy to see why they are not priced as shorter odds against what looks to be like a far inferior team.
On a more positive note, ENCE placed top-four at ESL Challenger at DreamHack Summer 2024 so there clearly is some potential in this lineup. Yet their form is terrible and that's a good enough reason to doubt ENCE and their strength.
ENCE Squad & Team News
ENCE have not announced any roster changes.
- Lukas "gla1ve" Rossander
- Krzysztof "Goofy" Górski
- Kacper "Kylar" Walukiewicz
- Viktor "sdy" Orudzhev
- Paavo "podi" Heiskanen
Young Ninjas Form
Young Ninjas have played five games over the last nine days and won two – against RUBY (2-1) and Illuminar Gaming (2-1) – but also lost against SINNERS Esports (1-2), Alliance (0-2), and ECSTATIC (0-2).
It's not the most promising record, but realistically, hardly worse than what ENCE have produced recently. This doesn't change the fact that ENCE have a substantially higher ceiling than Young Ninjas, which does explain the current betting odds. Yet form-wise, the two Counter-Strike esports teams look fairly equal.
Young Ninjas Squad & Team News
Young Ninjas have not made any roster changes.
- Kacper “xKacpersky” Gabara
- Jacob "jocab" Nerheden
- Leo "Silence" Ingvarsson
- Maoz "BluePho3nix" Paz
- Gareth "MisteM" Ries
Verdict
ENCE are priced as favourites for this series, which makes sense, considering they field a much stronger lineup. Form-wise, ENCE are in a terrible spot as they've not won many games recently nor have they looked good against some of the weaker teams.
This brings up the question of whether they are to be trusted against Young Ninjas, yet it's also hard to justify taking Young Ninjas' side, considering how lacklustre they've been of late.
There is a world where ENCE struggle on Friday, but it's more likely they wake up and defeat Young Ninjas, who are a tier below them quality-wise.
