A crushing defeat on the first map
Many expected a strong performance from Complexity at this tournament, as the American club performed well at IEM Katowice 2023, almost making it to the playoffs. However, the team has already lost two matches, which has greatly dampened the fans' mood. Despite this, most believed that the match against Imperial would end in favor of Complexity and quickly. But the first map turned everything upside down.
16-1. That was the score on Inferno. And most importantly, it was won by Imperial. The Brazilians literally didn't give their opponent a chance. And Complexity's problem was only that the team just couldn't get anything going. None of the players could show a star performance, and Grim was at the bottom of the scoreboard with three kills and a 3.1 rating. After this, few expected Complexity to make a comeback.
Two very close maps and a win for Complexity
On this map, the competition grew even stronger. In the second half, Imperial began a powerful comeback that turned into domination, but Complexity managed to come back into the game and take it to overtime. And that's where Hallzerk shined.
The player didn't lose focus after three extra rounds and saved his team, finishing the map with a score of 25-23 and a rating of 7.4.
What's next for Complexity?
Complexity is still one step away from elimination, but the situation has improved somewhat. Tomorrow, the team will meet the loser of the FURIA vs BIG match, which is currently underway.
