It'll be a difficult fight for EliGE

What to expect from Complexity v. MOUZ

Oh great, these freaking guys again?

No, seriously, can Complexity please stop playing these guys? Every time our boys in blue play these Europeans, we lose. Not only do we lose, but we lose by a lot. Copenhagen, Pro League, Dallas — all of it — was awful. It wasn't even close. I hate it. I hate watching Complexity play these guys. It makes me miserable. It makes me not want to watch. But this time, IEM Cologne 2024 will be different. This time, this time, I promise, this time they will win.

Time to break the duck

They just really can't beat MOUZ, can they? It's almost impossible and the most horrific memory for NA fans will be that game in Copenhagen when it looked like the Americans were inches from qualifying for the playoffs. No matter the setting, Complexity have struggled, so it's obviously time that now when everyone is getting back into the swing of things, they can actually hit the sweet spot.

  • For a team that apparently doesn't like each other, they seem to have fun on the server

  • When EliGE succeeds, the team wins

  • floppy and Grim are actually finding themselves once more

Might MOUZ

Yeah. So these guys. You know the meme where it's Joel Embiid saying, "This is not a rivalry, they always kick our ass?" Yeah, the "they" in this scenario is MOUZ. These European kids with a revitalized Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin are simply unstoppable against the Americans. It's like they need to constantly push their European superiority.

  • xertioN and torzi will terrorize Complexity

  • Brollan is a solid rock in this lineup

  • MOUZ's map record is overwhelmingly better than Complexity

Previous Matchups

It's not a rivalry. They always kick our ass.

Likely Vetoes

Complexity will need to have some tricks up their sleeve against MOUZ if they want to pull out a win. More importantly, the team cannot lose the mental warfare. They are the clear underdogs here and need to use that mentality to remain resilient when the going gets tough.

  • Complexity veto Mirage

  • MOUZ veto Anubis

  • Complexity pick Vertigo

  • MOUZ pick Ancient

  • Decider will be Inferno

Complexity will be hard done to see Anubis go away, but they could rely on their Vertigo prowess and hope to nail it down to Inferno which could be a coinflip between the two.
