The Stage 1 Round of 32 match between ENCE and PARIVISION ended in a confident 2–0 victory for PARIVISION. The series was played entirely on the favorite’s terms: ENCE failed to mount a real challenge on either Overpass or Anubis, and the match never reached a decider. For PARIVISION, it was a calm, structured performance. For ENCE, another painful signal of ongoing stability issues at the start of the season.
Road to the matchup — different trajectories before the start
ENCE came into the match with mixed momentum. Losses to Lazer Cats, Friendly Campers, and FUT were offset by occasional wins, but the overall picture lacked consistency. Drawing PARIVISION in the opening round meant a tough test with no margin for a slow start.
PARIVISION, by contrast, entered the series with a more cohesive profile. Wins over Ninjas in Pyjamas and competitive showings against strong opposition suggested a team comfortable playing disciplined Counter-Strike over a full series. The matchup against ENCE looked like a chance to confirm that status without unnecessary risk.
