ENCE defeated Movistar Riders 2-0 in the deciding series of Group A in a rematch between the two teams, with the Finns moving on to the semi-finals in Malta.

The Finns breathe a sigh of relief as they managed to avoid early elimination in the position of one of the favorites, recovering from a terrible start to the tournament against the Spanish squad, who were unable to repeat the opening victory despite a promising first half of Overpass in the deciding series.

With the 2-0 triumph against Movistar Riders, ENCE have earned a spot in the playoffs, where they will take on G2 in a first-ever encounter between the two lineups on Saturday at 16:30 .

It was a difficult rematch for ENCE, who seemed to be on course to a repeat loss on Overpass as the first half went the same way as in the opening round of the group stage, with Movistar Riders putting together a solid defense worthy of ten rounds in total once again.

But unlike in the first encounter with the Spaniards, Aleksi "⁠allu⁠" Jalli's side found their footing on the CT side despite a pistol round loss, going on a dominant streak once they built up the bank, with Jere "⁠sergej⁠" Salo's 1v2 clutch at 7-12 allowing the Finns to keep up the pressure and cruise to a 16-13 victory.

The Finns' good form continued on Mirage, where a full eco win in middle in the second round allowed them to rack up a hefty lead. Despite being down 2-7, Movistar Riders' efforts towards the end of the half helped them switch over with six, but after they crumbled in the anti-forcebuy once more, ENCE closed the series in comfortable fashion at 16-8.
