Complexity Team Stats and Latest Results
Complexity didn’t experience the best of times at the IEM New York 2020 Europe and BLAST Premier Fall Series 2020, while they have been better at the IEM Beijing-Haidian 2020 Europe, where they won 3rd place and $12,000 after losing to Vitality in the semi-finals. Easier than expected, Complexity dismantled Sprout in the opening round of this tournament as they secured 16-4 and 16-4 wins on Nuke and Mirage. Complexity won seven of the previous 14 matches.
When it comes to the maps in the last three months, Complexity was dominant on Overpass (83.3% win rate) and played well on Mirage (66.7%), while they didn’t impress on Dust2 (33.3%) and Nuke (37.5%). Complexity assembled its current lineup in October 2020 and appeared on 18 maps with a record of 11 wins and seven losses. The lineup is made of jks (1.16 rating), RUSH (0.95), k0nfig (1.14), poison (1.03), and blameF (1.24).
Cloud9 Team Stats and Latest Results
Cloud9 was in a terrible form of seven consecutive losses but managed to snap that negative streak with a surprising 2-0 victory over NiP in the previous round of the BLAST Premier Fall 2020 Showdown. Prior to that win, they displayed bad results at the ESL Pro League Season 12 North America and Flashpoint 2 and won just three maps in those seven defeats. Cloud9 lost nine of the last 11 games.
In the previous three months, Cloud9 was average on Dust2 and Vertigo, while they failed to get a victory on Train (played once) and Mirage (played once) and disappointed on Nuke (20.0%) and Mirage (20.0%). Cloud9 is playing with a new lineup that appeared on just six maps since November and recorded two wins and four losses. The lineup consists of ALEX (0.81), woxic (1.10), es3tag (1.08), floppy (1.01), and mezii (1.14).

Complexity vs. Cloud9 Betting Preview
Cloud9 only assembled its current squad a couple of weeks ago and they don’t play often, so I seriously doubt their chances in this game because of the lack of competitive rhythm, before anything else. Complexity is a better side and is way better ranked in the CS:GO tour, and even though Cloud9 shocked NiP in the previous round, I think that would be all from them and that they will not make another surprise. I am backing the favorites to advance to the semis.
The Pick: Complexity to win (-227 @BUFF.BET)
