The Grim Reaper of Train

Grim's Train masterclass v. FURIA is his highest rated LAN map ever

It's his Train yard.

Complexity are competing in PGL Bucharest with a purpose, and the NA roster is currently sitting atop the standings with a 2-0 record and a +31 round differential.

In Complexity's most recent victory, the team showed that Train is a huge strength in their map pool for a second straight time, soundly beating FURIA 13-1. Everyone on Complexity played well, but Michael "Grim" Wince and Johnny "JT" Theodosiou put on masterful performances, with the former notching his highest individual rating on a map on LAN ever.

With 20 kills, only 3 deaths, and a KAST (kill, assist, survive, or trade) percentage of 100%, Grim notched a 2.39 player rating, his highest ever on LAN, and his third highest in any match. Looking at his match history, it appears that his 3 deaths are the lowest amount he's ever had in a map as well.

Johnny 'JT' Theodosiou 16 - 20 -4 56.4 75.7% 0.99

For JT, his 2.26 player rating is his second highest ever on LAN, behind a 28 kill/7 death showing against GamerLegion on Vertigo at end of 2023.

But despite the strong individual showings from Grim and JT, the whole roster has to be commended for their electric start. The momentum and confidence from their winning streak has carried over. Danny "cxzi" Strzelczyk in particular has been incredible: after two rounds, he's the second highest rated player at the event, with a 1.35 player rating after five maps.
