Complexity Gaming and ECSTATIC will meet in the final group stage clash of ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023. The winner will qualify for the play-offs, where they will play Movistar Riders, while the loser will go home.
A very weak performance from the North American squad, who have been more of an embarrassment so far. For their part, you can't expect anything from ECSTATIC, but the team may surprise you.
All in all, based on Complexity Gaming's two matches so far, things look very controversial. So here I would take a closer look at the card from team ECSTATIC.
Complexity Gaming uniforms
The eighteenth world ranked team performed well in the recent BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR, where they started with a win over Solid and a loss to paiN Gaming.
However, in BO3, the North American team was able to open up to get two wins over Imperial Esports and MIBR and at the same time make it to the majors.
Speaking about the group stage of ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023, Complexity Gaming had problems here. First, the team nearly lost to ECSTATIC and then failed to cope with Grayhound Gaming.
Complexity Gaming's latest results:
- A 10-16 loss to paiN Gaming.
- A 2-0 win over Imperial Esports.
- Victory over MIBR with a score of 2-0.
- 16-14 win over ECSTATIC.
- 11-16 loss to Grayhound Gaming.
Top scores for Complexity Gaming:
- Overpass - 73% wins.
- Inferno - 67% wins.
- Nuke - 67% wins.
- Ancient - 50% wins.
It should not be forgotten that the North American squad has long refused to use Mirage maps.
Form ECSTATIC
The 55th ranked team in the world managed to fail in ESL Challenger League Season 44 Europe Relegation and CCT Central Europe Series 5, showing mediocre play even online.
So ECSTATIC came to ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023 where they were defeated by Complexity Gaming at the Long Cogneg, although they nearly pulled off a comeback at Nuke.
Already after the break, the Danish squad was able to take on EG Black, but this victory was not an easy one for the boys. And yet, taking into account the recent encounter, ECSTATIC can count on some advantage.
ECSTATIC's latest results:
- A 2-0 win over BIG Academy.
- 2-0 win over 500.
- 0-2 defeat at the hands of Monte.
- 14-16 defeat of Complexity Gaming.
- Beat EG Black 2-1.
ECSTATIC's best scores:
- Overpass - 75% wins.
- Anubis - 69% wins.
- Vertigo - 60% wins.
- Ancient - 60% wins.
In turn, the Danish team has also long given up on maps Mirage.
Meeting statistics Complexity Gaming - ECSTATIC
The teams met once this season when Complexity Gaming (16-14) won the Long Conduit in the group stage of ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023.
Complexity Gaming vs ECSTATIC
There is no point in relying on BO1 as the story is different now. The Danes need to pick Vertigo and not remove Mirage to put the favourite at a disadvantage.
Moreover, Complexity Gaming is not playing well at all, and if things go on like this, the North Americans risk losing and getting embarrassed again. Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on the Forum on the cards (+1.5) for team ECSTATIC.
