What to expect from Complexity v. BIG

A playoff spot is on the line.

After a tough loss to start EPL Season 20, Complexity has bounced back with two convincing wins over Astralis and MOUZ in the lower bracket and are now just one series away from clinching a playoff spot despite the bad start. Can they overcome the easiest challenge they will have had in the lower bracket, BIG?

It's not complex at all

Everyone knows that Complexity play their best when Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski and Håkon "hallzerk" Fjærli are topping the scoreboard, in addition to solid performances from the rest of the crew. If they want to be the third NA team to secure a playoff spot this season, they need their two best players to replicate their performances from the last couple of days while the supporting cast also puts up good numbers, as it happened against MOUZ.

  • JT is improving his performance with every game that passes

  • Grim and floppy are taking turns having above-average games

  • After Harry's pep talk, hallzerk has stepped up

  • Is EliGE a HLTV Top 10 candidate?

BIG catching fire

BIG has had a similar path in this EPL to Complexity, starting with a loss but turning things around. The difference here is that BIG has not faced the same level of competition as Complexity, which could prove to be an advantage for the North Americans. Despite that, BIG are catching fire at the right time and could be riding that wave today to reach the playoffs.

  • syrsoN is having his best event since 2018

  • Can BIG handle a higher-ranked opponent?

  • Have BIG finally dropped the "Onliners" allegations?

Previous Matchups

The last time these two teams faced each other, BIG were yet to add Rigon "rigoN" Gashi. Complexity easily took a 13-5 win on Inferno, in a Bo1 match for YaLLa Compass 2024.

Likely Vetoes

  • BIG ban Inferno

  • Complexity ban Mirage

  • BIG pick Nuke

  • Complexity pick Vertigo

  • Decider is Dust2
