EliGE is the key to success

What to expect from Complexity v. Natus Vincere

Can Complexity follow their NA brethren?

Complexity has been put through the ringer here at the BLAST Premier Fall Group stage as they initially fell to the AWP-less HEROIC only to bounce back and get within touching distance of the Fall Finals when they stole away Spirit's map pick yesterday. Now, the team must play against the world's best team in Natus Vincere who have had their cracks exposed by Liquid who have taken them down twice. Hopefully Complexity learned a thing or two from Liquid's matches if they want to have a shot today.

Complexity's bounce back

It wasn't pretty when they lost to a coach, and then the OG game became way too close, but Complexity seemed to find their groove and slowly improve after a disappointing start to the season. The real test will be this game against Natus Vincere now with the squad tending to overly rely on Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski to push them through to a win.

  • Grim and floppy have to find their consistency today

  • EliGE needs to be activated and put in a position to win

The European Superpower

Major winners, world's best team, this Natus Vincere team are meant to be feared. However, it took North American friends Liquid to dethrone them over this week as they secured two wins to push them to the Fall Finals. This team is still feisty and will definitely make Complexity work in today's final match of the BLAST Premier Fall Groups

  • w0nderful will be crucial to NAVI's win today

  • if iM is activated, watch out NA

  • Can aleksib produce another calling masterclass?

  • Bulletpoint

Previous Matchups

Surprisingly, these two squads are actually quite familiar with one another. Complexity has the series score with two, 2-1 wins while NAVI took down the Americans 2-0 at the BLAST Spring Groups earlier this year. This might be the American's best chance of finally making the Finals directly.

Likely Vetoes

It's going to be very interesting to see how the vetos comes out, with Complexity not playing Mirage and NAVI declining to play Vertigo.

  • Complexity ban Mirage

  • NAVI ban Vertigo

  • Complexity pick Anubis

  • NAVI pick Dust2

  • Decider is Ancient

Complexity and Natus Vincere play later today following the NIP and Astralis match.
