Complexity and Nouns will meet in the semifinals of the CCT North America Series #2. I think there is no particular intrigue here, since Nouns is noticeably inferior to his opponent in the class.
Moreover, the main intrigue is whether Complexity will lose the map, or leave the server without misfires. It is clear that there is such a possibility, because the team plays terribly on Inferno.
However, in general, North Americans should cope with the Nouns and advance to the grand finals. There simply cannot be another.
Complexity form
The 20th team in the world ranking recently became the winner of ESEA Autumn 2022 Cash Cup 4 North America and ESEA Autumn 2022 Cash Cup 5 North America, where they did not feel their rivals.
Now the North American team broke into the playoffs of CCT North America Series #2, where they defeated both Eclipse and TeamOne. And now Complexity has developed its winning streak to five matches, which is encouraging.
Latest Complexity results:
- Victory over ATK with a score of 2:1.
- Victory over Nouns with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over Strife with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over Eclipse with a score of 2:0.
- Victory over TeamOne with a score of 2:1.
Best Complexity maps:
- Overpass - 81% of wins.
- Nuke - 73% of wins.
- Ancient - 57% of wins.
- Mirage - 50% of wins.
Let's not forget that the North American team almost never plays on the Dust 2 map.
Noun form
The 46th team of the world ranking performed well in the group stage of the ESL Challenger League Season 43 North America, where they suffered only one defeat from ATK, and that happened in the last round.
As for the performances in the playoffs of CCT North America Series #2, here the North American team won two victories, but played only in one match.
In general, now Nouns is in good shape, but still unlikely to jump above his head.
Latest Nouns results:

- Victory over ATK with a score of 2:0.
- Defeat from ATK with a score of 1:2.

Best Nouns cards:
- Inferno - 80% win rate.
- Ancient - 75% of wins.
- Nuke - 67% of wins.
- Vertigo - 67% of wins.
- Overpass - 50% of wins.
Interestingly, the Nouns team does not play on the Dust 2 map either.
Statistics of meetings Complexity — Nouns
As part of the current season, the teams held one meeting - at ESEA Autumn 2022 Cash Cup 5 North America, the victory went to Complexity (2:0).
Prediction for the match Complexity — Nouns
The last time the teams played on the Inferno map, where Complexity managed to win. On the other hand, the guys there play very unstable, so Nouns can try his luck again.
Still, I don't see any intrigue in this match, because there is a significant class difference between the teams. And outside of Inferno, Nouns doesn't have a single trump card.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the victory of the Complexity team.
