compLexity smash Rogue to top second IEM Katowice Qualifier
After the first day of play yesterday, only compLexity and Rogue were still left standing. Earlier, big names such as Ghost and GX had fallen against considerably less known opponents.
After the vetos were complete, the teams were set to face off on Inferno, Cobblestone and Cache. Rogue were able to narrowly win their T-side on Inferno, but in keeping with their previous compositions shaky relationship with the match, completely fell apart on CT. On Cobblestone, compLexity and potential new player Pujan "FNS" Mehta completely dominated Spencer "Hiko" Martin's men, ending with a 16-4 victory.
