The team comes to Copenhagen in a good mood. The team managed to reach the RMR CS2 majors without any headaches, with a 3:0 series score, and in the match for the slot, they made two gambles against Virtus.pro. Natus Vincere has a very questionable lineup for the Tier-1 level but occasionally manages to snatch a win against big-name opponents and break into the top 4 of the BLAST World Finals.

B1ad3 said his squad should be at peak performance by the spring before the majors. Looking back at the closed qualifications for RMR, you can partially believe his words. JL and iM have played, w0nderful is good with both sniper rifle and machine gun. Over the three series, the team has shown an incredible offensive win rate: 78%; probably no one has ever had that. There are problems with defense (40% win rate), but who cares when Natus Vincere takes an average of 9 rounds out of 12?

The strength of the team lies in its mentor. B1ad3 made a "golden team" in 2021; with that kind of experience, it becomes easier to repeat such a job. His performers are not the best, but interesting and young. They play well but can do even better.

Complexity Gaming made a good run in CS2 and had a very productive second half 2023. With the arrival of EliGE, the team has firepower that was lacking in previous squads. Jonathan helped Complexity Gaming reach the IEM Sydney 2023 finals and the top 4 of BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023.

The team played their last matches in the closed qualification for the American RMR. It is pointless to judge the form of Complexity Gaming in those matches - the opponents were those teams that did not make it to the next stage. On average, it did not give more than seven rounds per map. Traditionally, EliGE and floppy are at the top of the individual rankings. The second one, by the way, is worth a closer look - with the arrival of EliGE, his game has also become more interesting.

For Complexity Gaming, this is the first full encounter with a good opponent for the last month. This can be a problem, as the players are used to outplaying local tier-3 teams.

Natus Vincere had a slightly better practice in 2024 and, against that backdrop, may do well in the first encounter. Complexity Gaming should not be underestimated, but how they will prove themselves in the match is also unknown. Let's break down two key betting rules: do not bet for and against Natus Vincere. Let's believe that they will do a little better on the server.
