Maç Tahmini: fnatic - Complexity Gaming | Counter-Strike (CS2)

Hello again to EGamersWorld.

We continue to get to know the participants of IEM Cologne 2023. We are now at the Play-In stage, where we are playing Bo1 matches in the first round of the stage.

Complexity and Fnatic will play in one of them. The confrontation should be The International heresy, because the teams on paper looks equal.

Both teams are contenders to get into the main stage of the tournament, but only one will move on. Let's see who it will be.

We're trying to see if North America will be able to do anything against the European club, and who will move further up the winner-take-all grid, while the loser will drop to the bottom of the Play-In.

Up Next.

Fnatic Form

Let's start the breakdown of the match by analysing the European club's form. Fnatic will play as the number one.

Bookmakers believe in them, but there is a nuance. The odds for victory is at 1.75.

Such a figure, so even in Bo1, is not about the clear advantage of Fnatic. It's more about nominal equality between the clubs.

The top-17 club in the world is struggling as the 2023 season progresses. This is evident in the team's performance.

Fnatic started the year with a shaky top 12 at IEM Masters Katowice 2023 and top 16 at CCT North America Europe Series #4. There was also a 16th place finish at EPL Season 17.

A qualitative breakthrough happened at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: European RMR A. There Fnatic finished in the top 2, which opened the way for them to BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023.

The only Major in 2023 went well for Fnatic. The team finished in the top 11, which is a decent result.

The last tournament before IEM Cologne 2023 was IEM Dallas 2023. Fnatic was not allowed to play in America: 9z Team knocked the "orange" out of the tournament at the TOP-16 stage.

• Fnatic roster: KRIMZ, dextre, roej, mezii, afro.

Prior to the Long Round of the tournament, fnatic had a significant reshuffle in their roster. Dexter and afro joined the club during the Big Reshuffle. The Australian played for MOUZ for the past two years, while the Frenchman afro played for LDLC.

Fnatic Mappool

The perfect map for Fnatic was Ancient. "Orange" played it 4 times and won all matches.

They also have a 100% winrate on Nuke with Anubis, but fnatic has only 1 match there.

The worst matches for fnatic are Overpass and Vertigo, where they have one win each in 3 matches.

Complexity Form

We continue the match analysis with Complexity's form. The club from North America will be playing as outsiders in this match.

The bookmaker is very strained to call CoL the number two. The odds on the success of the team is estimated at around 2.

Again, such a figure is nothing. In fact, we are facing a match of equal teams and in principle, it seems to be true.

Complexity are on the 19th line of the world ranking. They got there thanks to their performance during the season.

And it was, frankly speaking, not so good. CoL were remembered for their top 4 at BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023: American RMR.

At the top tournaments, including the Blast Paris Major 2023, CoL were the back of the pack. The team finished in the top 21-28 at EPL S17, and at Major e it was top 20.

CoL started playing a little better in the second half of the year. They were already top six at BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2023.

• Complexity's lineup: EliGe, JT, floppy, hallzerk, Grim.

The newcomer to CoL is EliGE. The North American CSGO legend joined CoL a month ago, but has already managed to become the leader of the team in KDA with 1.10 rating.

Complexity's mappool

Complexity's map roll is quite sad. The most successful map is Overpass with 5 wins in 9 matches.

They can also play Nuke, Ancient and Anubis. But they have 33% wins each, with a very poor record of 6 and 3 maps respectively.

Head-to-head history

Fnatic and Complexity Gaming played each other at IEM Katowice 2023. CoL won that time.

Match outcome

In this match I am fully on the side of Fnatic. They have the map roll advantage: CoL's best map is Fnatic's worst map, and they will obviously get rid of it. In terms of personal level of performers everything is about equal, so the outcome of the match will be decided on map veto.

Bottom line: Fnatic wins.
