Complexity Gaming and Astralis will meet on day two of the BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023 group stage. In this case, the teams will be playing for the last ticket to the play-offs, just as the loser will leave the championship.
To be fair, the day before, both teams didn't come up at all, showing minimal desire. Still, the Danish team has some credibility, as they've been steadily gaining momentum of late.
As for Complexity Gaming, it's hard to say anything about the North Americans, who have been consistently bad and have shown no signs of life for a long stretch of the season.
All in all, one has to hope for logic, otherwise it's hard to believe in the success of the North American squad. So here I would lean on the Astralis team to win.
Complexity Gaming uniforms
The 25th ranked team in the world failed at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage and then similarly performed poorly in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, beating only Evil Geniuses.
What's interesting about The International is that Complexity Gaming decided to play in the ESEA Cash Cup Circuit Season 1 Cup 8 North America in parallel, where they managed to lose to 9z and dropped out.
The North American side also failed at the Long Converge Group Stage of BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023, as they didn't even compete with Heroic.
Complexity Gaming's latest results:
- A 7-16 loss to ENCE.
- A 2-0 win over Evil Geniuses.
- 1-2 defeat of Cloud9.
- Defeat at the hands of 9z, 6-16.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of Heroic.
Top scorers for Complexity Gaming:
- Inferno - 50% wins.
- Overpass - 50% wins.
It should not be forgotten that the North American squad is still giving up maps Mirage.
Astralis form
The seventeenth team in the world rankings managed to reach the final of Brazy Party 2023, losing in the final to Cloud9, but a month later they won CCT South Europe Series 4, where they played much better.
Recently, the Danish side also made it to IEM Dallas 2023 where they played well and even made the play-offs. However, Astralis Ledge went on to lose to ENCE and MOUZ and thus made the quarterfinals.
As for Long Sogpeg in the group stage of BLAST Premier Spring Final 2023, here the Ledge team edged FaZe Clan, unexpectedly showing no fight. One can only think that the Danes will be able to recover and prove themselves.
The latest results of Astralis:
- Victory over Team Liquid with a score of 19:17.
- 2-0 win over Cloud9.
- Defeat to ENCE, 1-2.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of MOUZ.
- Defeat by FaZe Clan, 0-2.
Astralis top scorers:
- Overpass - 80% wins.
- Ancient - 73% wins.
- Vertigo - 56% wins.
In turn, the Danish team has consistently given up on maps Anubis.

Complexity Gaming vs Astralis
There is no point in making any conclusions if the fact is that the teams will play like never before. Still, the view here is that the North American squad is simply awful.
If you look at the performances, Complexity Gaming have nothing to boast about against their rivals. As for the Danes, they showed quite a good game, if you put aside the brackets of defeat by FaZe Clan.
Looking at the maps, we can see that Astralis will for sure want to pick Overpass, although the Danish team is obviously ahead of their rivals on the remaining maps as well. And even Complexity Gaming has nothing to boast about on the opponent's background, so forget it.
So in this case I'd recommend to bet on the Astralis team to win.
