Complexity Gaming - NiP
Complexity and NiP will fight for the right to pass to the semifinals of ESL Pro League Season 13. That's not to say that the Swedish team has almost no chance of winning. However, Complexity's play in this championship is catching the eye.
Complexity form
The ninth ranked team in the world caused themselves problems in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 13. However, on the whole the team looked interesting, taking everything they were supposed to. Already in the playoffs, Complexity has already surged, posting two great matches. Moreover, the team did not give up during the series, which is a reflection of their good motivation.
The team's recent results:
A 0-2 loss to BIG.
Victory over Renegades with a score of 2-0.
1-2 defeat of Heroic.
Defeat Natus Vincere 2-0.
Defeat Virtus.pro 2-1.
Best Complexity maps:
Inferno - 83% wins.
Mirage - 62% wins.
Dust 2 - 57% wins.
However, on other maps the team has just as much trouble as its opponent. In addition, Complexity hardly ever plays Vertigo, although in the last match the team managed to surprise with this choice.
NiP form
The world's 13th ranked team won their group in ESL Pro League Season 13. However, I still continue to believe that there is nothing special about the Swedish team's game. For example, the team simply took advantage of the problems of direct competitors. However, from their strength the Swedes play terribly. Here and in the Play-In championship NiP literally fell apart, showing a questionable Counter Strike for such a stage.
The latest results of the team:
A 2-0 victory over FaZe Clan.
Victory over mousesports with a score of 2-1.
Beat Vitality 2-0.
1-3 loss to HAVU.
0-2 defeat at the hands of Heroic.
NiP top maps:
Train - 67% wins.
Dust 2 - 60% wins.
Inferno - 50% wins.
Nuke - 50% wins.
However, the Swedish team can play any card, which promises a certain advantage before the start of the match.
Statistics of head-to-head encounters
In the current season, the teams held one meeting - at IEM Katowice 2021 Play-In victory went to NiP (16:7).
Forecast for Complexity vs NiP
With such a game from Complexity, NiP doesn't stand a single chance. The Swedes continue to lose games against well-adjusted opponents. In addition, the team's strategies themselves leave a lot to be desired. Add to this the instability of the individual and NiP will be very difficult. So here I propose to bet on the victory of the team Complexity.
