What to expect from Complexity v. ALTERNATE aTTaX

North America is finally back in front of one of the biggest stages and the United States will be one of the first regional representatives to get in on the action. Complexity are gearing up after a slow start to the Fall season which saw them eliminated in swift fashion at the Esports World Cup and eliminated just short of direct qualification to the BLAST Premier Fall Finals.

Regardless, their wins against HEROIC and OG are important for the squad getting their mojo back which saw them come away with an ESL Challenger LAN trophy just before the summer began.

Complexity's Cologne Comeback

Complexity has not won the opening round match in Cologne in the last two years. It's a disappointing duck for the organization that has also finished last in both years. This version of Complexity has literally never been better and the dream is that this time, finally, the organization has the ability to do better than previously thanks to their high seed and, being kind, quality of opponents.

Alternating attacks on the bombsite

Complexity are probably asking M80's Fritz "slaxz-" Dietrich for some help on his former teammates right now as there is not a lot of info available out there about this German squad. The lineup mostly play in the Tier 2 or Tier 3 scene, which means it's ripe for Complexity to play down to their level and botch what should be a comfortable win. It would be the most Complexity thing to happen, wouldn't it?

This will be the first T1 LAN for this lineup
hyped is the former BIG/BIG Academy AWPer who replaced slaxz- on this lineup
Underdogs have a way of messing with Complexity at the worst moments

Likely Vetoes

Complexity are the higher seed and will likely pick second so they can also pick the decider. Complexity has the advantage in the pool, but Dust2 might make an appearance in this.

Complexity ban Mirage
