Complexity vs Heroic Prediction: The American team must win

Complexity is doing its best to establish itself at tier-1 level, but the team still lacks consistency in results. However, this is not stopping the EliGE team from being one of the favourites in Group D and claiming a place in the playoffs. Complexity have already secured their first win on the way to the last 16 - PERA Esports fought desperately, but the American team took two cards to end the series with a triumph. Will the match against Heroic be a success?

The main reason for Complexity's rise to the elite is the acquisition of EliGE. The American CS2 veteran has been the star of the team from the start and has provided the team with some significant victories. In 2024, Complexity is consistently in 9th to 12th place, but is always fighting on equal terms with the top teams, trying to force the competition. Occasionally, Floppy and Hallzerk make a positive breakthrough and help their leader with frags. For the last three months, the team has taken Overpass as their first pick, despite having a 100% win rate on Vertigo.

If the leader's game isn't going well, his teammates can't always pick up the slack from carry on the map. Before that, the team also had problems with the top killer, and Complexity barely cracked the top 50 in the HLTV world rankings. They will need another star player to reach new heights, but even at this stage, the American team is capable of taking one of the four coveted spots in Group D.

Heroic defeated Ninjas in Pyjamas in the first ESL Pro League Season 19 match. There have been rumors of a team change, but Heroic concentrates on more essential things in Malta. The team has a real chance of staying in the tournament and making the playoffs. Can the SAW team beat Complexity and book their ticket to the next stage?

We can't say that Heroic is playing poorly, but some things are embarrassing. Firstly, there's Nicodooz, the sniper who can't even pull off a tier -1 level and keeps failing in important matches. This makes it harder for the rest of the team to play - NertZ has to give out cosmic stats to give Heroic a chance to win, sjuush and TeSeS don't always get favourable exchanges. The kyxsan calls are also sometimes questionable, as the team often gives away unplayable situations on the map. Overall, Heroic deserves a place in the top 20 of the HLTV, and their current tenth place is no fluke. Heroic has always gone deep in the group stages but has been unlucky in the playoffs. In Katowice, a successful series with G2 Esports was not enough; in Copenhagen, the confidence in their abilities disappeared overnight, and in Chengdu, G2 Esports got caught again. Still, there are positive moments - local wins over FaZe, Eternal Fire, Astralis, and Team Vitality.

The last face-off ended in Complexity's favor. After the Majors, the teams haven't had much practice in official matches, and the balance of power is unlikely to change. Complexity is guaranteed to ban Mirage, making the series more difficult for Heroic. The American team must win the first match.
