Complexity vs. BIG H2H Record
These rivals have met on six occasions so far, and BIG is leading the all-time series 4-2. BIG is on a three-game winning run, while the most recent game in which they beat Complexity was played at the BLAST Premier Fall Series 2020 when it was 2-0.
Complexity vs. BIG Betting Preview
If we take into consideration the fact that BIG has a more experienced lineup that is playing together since August and the fact that they beat Complexity in each of the last three H2H matches, it’s unclear why the bookmakers are slightly favoring Complexity in this one. I don’t agree with the odds for the winner in this game, but on the other hand, it’s better they gave these odds because I am going to back BIG on the bigger ones. They are in better form and I am backing BIG to get a win. In case you don’t prefer betting on the winner, you can try with Over 2.5 maps as four of six H2Hs produced a maximum of three maps (none of the last two, though).
The Pick: BIG to win (+110 @bet365)
