ENCE Vs Complexity: Will Complexity Make It To the Playoffs?

The second match of the last day of group C at the ESL Pro League will be a clash between ENCE and Complexity. Both teams can make the playoffs or be eliminated from the tournament, so the match is essential. Who will be stronger?

Maps

Maps veto looks extremely obvious. Both teams don't have a large solid pool of cards, so the veto is already predetermined. In the first stage, Inferno and Mirage will be banned, after which ENCE will choose Nuke, and Complexity will take Overpass as their most popular maps. The decider will certainly be Vertigo, the best of the remaining options. Of course, one of the teams may surprise the opponent with a map veto, and the situation will change dramatically, but the most likely veto option is still Nuke-Overpass-Vertigo. In this case, ENCE looks a bit stronger due to the good win rate on Vertigo.

The Shape

Shape comparison is much more difficult. ENCE in the new roster is having a terrible tournament. The team only beat HEET and won no more maps, while Complexity also outperformed Astralis and played decently against MOUZ, winning one map. On paper, the American team looks stronger, but Complexity is very unstable to put them as an unconditional favourite.

Outcome

The match looks very unpredictable, however, based on the results of previous games of this tournament, we can say that Complexity looks preferable, but this does not make them 100% favourites of the meeting. Detailed pre-match statistics can be viewed here.
