Prediction: ENCE vs MOUZ; ENCE to win IEM Dallas 2023

IEM Dallas took an unexpected turn in the Semi-finals after MOUZ beat Heroic to earn a spot in the Grand-Final. The team who was heavily criticized after poor results at the last Major bounced back and managed to reach their highest placement of 2023 so far. But they still have one more match left to fight for the trophy.

ENCE remain undefeated in Dallas after immense resilience powered them through an astonishing series against FaZe Clan. They fought tooth and nail and took the decider to five overtimes, before eventually closing out the match 31-28.

With both teams putting up a show throughout the event, the Grand Final is shaping up to be nothing less than a banger series.

Fell down but never gave up

After the unfortunate results at the BLAST.tv Paris Major for both teams, questions were asked, and luckily they were answered with incredible performances during this event.

Heroic was the only team that defeated MOUZ in the upper-bracket Semi-Finals, only to fall to them when it mattered the most.

Regardless of Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás having a slow event, every other player is showing up big time. David "frozen" Čerňanský is having his best event this year, and even the IGL, Christopher "dexter" Nong was impactful at the most crucial rounds. This lineup could see the finish line first, and should never be counted out despite ENCE being the favorites.

All the players are peaking right now for ENCE and when Snappi snaps, Maden gets mad, NertZ hurts and SunPayus turns teams into creampies, you know it is over for the opposing team. This is a rather crude summary of ENCE's form at this event but still true nonetheless.

The overtime on Ancient against FaZe Clan is enough proof of how resilient the team is, no matter how tough it gets, they manage to stay strong under pressure.

EZ4ENCE

The Grand Final will be a tough fight for both teams, but ENCE should come up victorious considering the momentum they have built in the Semi-Finals.

A tug of war between two hungry teams can only mean the finest Counter-Strike will be displayed on stage.

MOUZ beating Heroic has shaken the cards a bit, creating more chances for them to lift the trophy, but not enough to pick them over ENCE in our opinion. We hope for a great match.
