Prediction
An epic matchup between Complexity vs Virtus.Pro is about to commence on May 9, 2024. Considering this will be the first-ever face-off between both teams in any CS2 tournament, fans of both teams want it matchup to be as memorable as possible. Ahead of this matchup, let’s discuss some possibilities that might open up some opportunities for any of the organizations.
Complexity had an exceptional start in the tournament as they defeated PERA. And they’re still maintaining the unbeaten run by keeping a 3-match winning streak. Meanwhile, their previous win was against CS2 Copenhagen Major winner NAVI, where they only dropped one map (2-1).
Amidst this, players like EliGE, Grim, and hallzerk were the most consistent ones. The formidable rifle duo of EliGE and Grim are yet to be stopped in the heart of Malta city. In light of Complexity’s unbeatable performance, they’re one of the top contenders in this tournament.
On the other hand, the European powerhouse Virtus.Pro went through many ups and downs and was finally able to reach the quarterfinals stage after beating TheMongolz. Unlike Complexity, they had a pretty rough start in the tournament and started with a massive loss to Fnatic, followed by, FaZe Clan (in the group A Mid-Bracket quarter-final). However, they managed to pull themselves back and currently are on a four-match win streak.
From the VP side, fame and Jame remain one of the driving forces for the European side. The addition of electroNic to their roster will definitely show some effects. However, they need some more time. Considering the recent performance of n0rb3r7, the Russian rifler needs to step up his game a little bit and show his true colors to get his hands on the shiny trophy.
Between the matchup of Complexity vs Virtus.Pro, the scales are heavily tipped towards Complexity’s side considering the recent performances by the NA side. Since they’ve won to a Copenhagen Major winner on their last matchup, they’ll be full of confidence. However, Jame and company is not something we can ignore. The European side will surely try to capitalize on the NA side’s mistakes and punish them accordingly.
Head to Head
Complexity and Virtus.Pro have never crossed their path in any CS2 tournament. This will be the first time they’ll be facing each other.
