An exciting duel awaits in the Opening Stage of the Major tournament in Shanghai, where Complexity will face FlyQuest. I expect this match to be closer than the odds initially suggested. Both teams are difficult to predict, but when they perform at their best, they are both highly competitive and entertaining to watch.
Arguments for playing the tip:
- One of the most important traits a player can have is confidence. FlyQuest has won 17 out of their last 18 matches, which has significantly boosted their confidence. This impressive form gives them a psychological edge, regardless of the strength of their opponents.
- FlyQuest has secured notable victories against teams like BB Team, BIG, Wildcard, and Saw. If they reach their top level, they have the potential to challenge Complexity and cause problems for them.
- Although Complexity advanced to the next stage, their performance was far from convincing. Their narrow win over BOSS and a 2-0 loss to MIBR revealed that they were not playing at their highest level during the RMR tournament. This could be a potential weakness that FlyQuest can exploit.
- Elige is the driving force behind Complexity’s gameplay. If he does not perform at his best, the team will struggle to compete against top opponents. His performance will have a direct impact on the outcome of the match.
- I expect the match to be played on Anubis, a map where FlyQuest has shown strength. I have chosen to bet on a +4.5 handicap for FlyQuest, meaning they need to win 9 rounds. This seems quite realistic given their current form.
Keep an eye on:
- If Complexity plays at their best, they are undoubtedly the stronger team. They have a better map pool, are more tactically organized, and their teamplay is more refined. This gives them an advantage, provided they perform at their highest level.
- The AWP duel could be decisive. Complexity has Hallzerk, who on his best days can be a game-changer. FlyQuest has a player in the AWP position, but their level is not on par with Hallzerk’s, which gives Complexity a clear advantage in this duel.
- Elige is undoubtedly Complexity’s best player and the one who must lead the team to victory. His individual class and firepower can be a game-changer against any team, and he will play a crucial role in securing a win for Complexity.
- FlyQuest has primarily faced lower-ranked teams in their recent matches, while Complexity has experience playing against top-tier opponents. If Complexity hits their level, they will be able to use their experience and higher skill level to gain the upper hand in this duel.
