Complexity, on their part, will play against ENCE and MOUZ to secure one of the available three spots in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>The series between the two teams started off on Inferno. Complexity were able to gain an early 5-3 start on the map after the team won the opening pistol round. They also scored a number of hits on the A bombsite despite their opponent\u2019s attempt to defend themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Heroic eventually got back into the match on the backs of their players, Rasmus &#8220;\u2060sjuush\u2060&#8221; Beck and Ren\u00e9 &#8220;\u2060TeSeS\u2060&#8221; Madsen. They took the lead for a short while, but Complexity quickly got back ahead after Justin &#8220;\u2060FaNg\u2060&#8221; Coakley executed some crucial opening frags and H\u00e5kon &#8220;\u2060hallzerk\u2060&#8221; Fj\u00e6rli\u2019s AWPing. They ended the first half of Inferno with 8-7.<\/p>\n<p>Heroic seemed more at ease in the second half after they switched sides and started their impressive six-win streak with a second pistol round win. The consecutive victories placed the Danish team firmly in the lead, and Complexity were only able to win one round using some upgraded pistols.<\/p>\n<p>Inferno ended with a 9-16 in Heroic\u2019s favor, and all the team\u2019s players produced impressive ratings. Sjuush, in particular, reached an 85.1 ADR and a 1.32 rating.<\/p>\n<p>The second map pick, Ancient, did not see Complexity fair any better. Heroic executed a second-round force buy, which gave them an early 4-1 lead.<\/p>\n<p>Their opponents struggled with retaking the A bombsite, and Heroic capitalized on their moment of weakness to launch some hits on the site. Complexity were able to reach 8-7 in the second half of the map after hallzerk performed an impressive CT side, earning him a 1.26 rating.<\/p>\n<p>The NA team started the second half of the map remarkably well, but were eventually unable to build up their momentum. Martin &#8220;\u2060stavn\u2060&#8221; Lund and the in-game leader cadiaN were able to quickly beat Complexity\u2019s 9-8 lead and earn Heroic a 16-10 victory on the map.<\/p>\n<div class=\" embed-twitter\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The budget AWP gets served half chewed NA snacks, yummi 3K for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/caspercadiaN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@caspercadiaN<\/a> ! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EPLProLeague?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EPLProLeague<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DidA5jwbQz\">pic.twitter.com\/DidA5jwbQz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; HEROIC (@heroicgg) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/heroicgg\/status\/1570814116310450176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 16, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>Stavn reached a rating of 1.95 while cadiaN averaged one frag for each round on Ancient and boosted his rating to 1.47.
