ENCE Might Lift Their First Big Trophy at Blast Spring Finals
After many baby steps, ENCE might just be ready to take a big leap and win their first big event ever. ENCE as an organization has been around for quite a while now, and they’ve had some big names in some of their lineups, but it took them over 8 years to finally be considered one of the best teams in the scene.
ENCE is the breakout team of 2022 so far, as they’ve had a lot of things going well for them as of recently. They’ve been challenging all the CSGO odds in the past couple of tournaments and became such an exciting team to watch.
For their first encounter at the Blast Premier Spring Finals, they’ll have to face BIG, another team that has managed to perform above the expectations, although not as impressively as ENCE. The most interesting part about this match is that these two teams haven’t faced each other in a while, which might end up giving us an unexpected result.
BIG comes off a decent run at both the Pinnacle Cup Championship and the IEM Dallas, where they ended up falling down to the team that won the whole thing. Now, considering that ENCE is one of the favorites to win it all, let’s hope for BIG that the story doesn’t repeat again.
Krimbo is One of Germany’s Best
The 19-year-old rifler for BIG, Karim “Krimbo” Moussa, is considered to be one of the best talents we’ve seen come out of Germany in years, according to his captain. “Krimbo is by far the best talent we’ve had in Germany in years. He’s so young, but so experienced in the game. He’s calm, he knows how to clutch, how opponents move during the rounds. He’s giving good input and was an in-game leader in the academy team.” That’s what Johannes “tabseN” Wodarz, captain for BIG, had to say in a recent interview.
I know, it’s not rare to see the captain of a team compliment one of his teammates, but Tabsen really trusts Krimbo’s ability to carry the rest of the team. “He’s by far one of the best with smokes, fixed points and stuff like that, he knows every single smoke in the game I would say.”, that says a lot about a player that is only 19 years old, and things might only get better for the German player.
Though he is far from being in the list of the best players in the world, BIG is starting to see a bit of success as of recently, and we all know that getting important wins is huge for players that are just on the rise. Krimbo still has to prove he is better than Syrson and Tabsen, who are both his teammates and also are German, and this match against such a strong opponent like ENCE might be a good opportunity for him.
Winning the Blast Premier Spring Finals Could be Huge for ENCE
Coming into this event, ENCE could’ve been one of those teams that completely slipped the mind of many CSGO betting sites experts. But now that we know just how good they can be, and also if we consider the situation of the other contenders for the title, ENCE might just be able to pull off a successful run in this event.
NaVi is going to be using Viktor “somedieyoung” Orudzhev as a stand-in player, due to Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhaylov being benched for a couple of weeks now. G2 is in a very questionable form as they’ve been unable to score important wins at big tournaments. All of this makes ENCE the strongest contender to give FaZe a run for their money in the grand finals. It might look like we’re getting ahead of ourselves, but right now, they are looking like the most solid team in the tournament.
If we look back at the IEM Dallas 2022, we can see that ENCE already took down G2 and FaZe, the two best teams at the Blast Spring Finals. Solidify, that’s what ENCE will try to do at this event, and considering that Lotan “Spinx” Giladi is back on the field, things are looking more than great for this team.

ENCE vs BIG Predictions
As mentioned before, these two teams haven’t faced each other in a while now, and that’s what makes this encounter so interesting to watch. We can’t deny that ENCE is definitely the favorite team to win this match as the CSGO betting clearly indicate so. But BIG has that magic factor going for them, and that might just be enough to take their opponent down.
In the end, we’ll have to approach this match with logic and that’s why we’ll go with ENCE winning this encounter because we consider them to be one of the strongest teams in this tournament, if not the best, and BIG doesn’t have enough firepower to overcome this challenge.
