Complexity quickly regained control of the map with 1vs3 and 1vs2 clutches from Ricky &#8220;floppy&#8221; Kemery and H\u00e5kon &#8220;hallzerk&#8221; Fj\u00e6rli, which doubled the score of their opponents. NaVi managed to claw their way back into the game, posting seven rounds, but it was Complexity who took a slight edge into the break thanks to another stellar round from hallzerk.<\/p>\n<p>During the latter part of the game, Complexity increased their advantage to 11-7. However, NaVi quickly reduced the deficit with a series of seven rounds led by Valeriy &#8220;b1t&#8221; Vakhovskiy, putting them in the lead at 14-11. Despite Complexity&#8217;s attempts to recover, they were unable to secure the win on their own chosen map as NaVi took the next two rounds to claim the map victory (16-14).<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/counter-strike\/\" title=\"CS:GO betting\">Best Counter-Strike betting sites in 2023<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Inferno, the second map, Complexity dominated with a standout performance from Grim. The first half was closely contested with Complexity leading 8-7, but they took control after the side swap. NaVi&#8217;s uncharacteristic stagnant defense was exploited by Complexity, resulting in a 16-11 win.<\/p>\n<p>The Overpass decider was highly disputed, with Complexity holding a 9-6 advantage at halftime. After the break, a pistol win and conversion allowed Complexity to expand their lead, although NaVi managed to secure two rounds. However, Complexity kept control. They won their 12th round with a quick attack on the B bombsite and Grim performed a stunning ace in a 3v5 scenario.<\/p>\n<p>However, Complexity faltered at the last moment, wasting their opportunity to win. Oleksandr &#8220;s1mple&#8221; Kostyliev shone and tore apart the enemy defenses, crucial protection of the B bombsite being breached by NaVi repeatedly, leading to a streak of eight consecutive rounds that secured NaVi&#8217;s victory with a score of 16-14.<\/p>\n<p>Complexity&#8217;s defeat is devastating, as they had a chance to win both Anubis and Overpass but failed despite a brilliant individual performance by Grim. This loss relegates the team to the Showdown, where they will get another chance to qualify for the Spring Final.<\/p>\n<p>On February 1, Complexity will go up against BIG in their first match of <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/iem-katowice\/csgo\/\" title=\"IEM Katowice CS:GO betting\">IEM Katowice 2023<\/a> play-in stage.
