In the match of the 1/8 finals of the upper bracket at the Play-In stage of IEM Katowice 2023, the German BIG team will play against Complexity from the USA.
BIGThe German team last played quite recently at the BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023 LAN tournament. BIG reached the second round of the elimination stage, where they could not cope with a more serious opponent and as a result, the Germans flew to the Spring Showdown.
On January 29, BIG lost to the Danish team Heroic in a VO3 format game – 3:16 Vertigo (its peak); 16:12 Ancient and 10:16 Inferno.
ComplexityThe team from the USA, in turn, also recently played at BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2023.
Complexity also reached the second round of the elimination game, where the team from the USA lost to a much higher-status opponent. On January 28, Complexity lost to the Ukrainian team Natus Vincere in a VO3 format game on three maps – 14:16 Anubis (its peak); 16:11 Inferno and 14:16 Overpass.
ForecastIn this match, BIG is considered by bookmakers to be an extremely clear favorite.
However, Complexity is also in pretty good shape right now, and there may be a fairly stubborn struggle. We suggest that you bet more than 26.5 rounds on the total.
