ENCE vs OG Predictions

ENCE and OG will face off on Friday, March 7, in the first round of Group A at PGL Bucharest 2025: European Qualifier. It'll mark their first meeting of the season, and considering the two teams' shaky form, this looks like a very competitive affair.

Neither ENCE nor OG have looked great of late and have struggled to find any form of success or consistency with their recent outings. ENCE are 2-3 from the last five, while OG have managed to win three, but against weaker opponents.

Both teams have been competing mostly in lesser tournaments since the turn of the year, and neither have done as well as expected. With little to show for from both sides, it is hard to pick a winner. But with overlapping map pools, this should be a competitive game that can extend to the final map.

Head to Head

OG and ENCE have yet to meet this season.

ENCE Form

ENCE have, since the start of the year, attended four tournaments, and their best placements include two semifinals from CCT Season 2 European Series #16 and #17. More recently, however, they exited Series #18 in ninth-16th-place with a 0-2 loss against NAVI Junior.

With a 6-4 record from their last 10 games, ENCE have shown some signs of life, but they have not beaten any good team over that stretch. The six teams ENCE managed to pass include Dynamo Eclot, 9INE, Booiets, AUSB, Alliance, and Passion UA.

Besides their poor record, ENCE's map pool is not too convincing either, as they only do well on Ancient and Anubis with 88% and 60% win rates.

OG Form

OG, like ENCE, have not accomplished much this year. While they had a promising run in February when OG strung together eight victories, none came against a good team, and the most notable three were against Aurora Gaming, BC.Game, and Tricked.

Since then, OG have lost to Iberian Soul and NAVI Junior and won against ESC, FAVBET, and Partizan. At the very least, OG are showing signs of life, but until they perform at a top level, it is more than fair to question them and their chances to do well at PGL Bucharest 2025: European Qualifier.

OG benched Mădălin-Andrei "MoDo" Mirea in February and will play with Nico "nicoodoz" Tamjidi as his replacement.

Verdict

ENCE v OG

This is a match between two teams who have fallen from grace hard. It's been a while since OG and ENCE last featured in top-tier competitions, and the way they're playing, it is hard to imagine that will change anytime soon.

ENCE are slightly favoured, likely due to OG's recent roster change, but they've not looked good enough lately to confidently take their side at 1.72. OG have a better map win rate on four of seven maps and only marginally worse on Ancient.

So, even though there is a degree of uncertainty backing a team who recently parted ways with their player, OG at even money make sense.
