The first map, Mirage, saw compLexity win 14 rounds before a 1v2 afterplant clutch from Dignitas prevented the clean sweep. compLexity would however win the pistol and close out the map 16-1. A similar story unfolded on Inferno, with compLexity giving up only 4 rounds and closing the second map 16-4.
