Complexity Gaming sensationally knocks out fnatic with IEM Katowice 2023

Complexity Gaming secured a sensational 2-1 victory over fnatic to advance to the Group B lower bracket final at IEM Katowice 2023. Here, the North American team will face the Outsiders to play for the last playoff spot. In turn, fnatic leaves the tournament, taking 9th-12th place and earning $16,000.

One of the two starting matches of the final day of the group stage started on the Inferno map, which became the choice of the North American team. Moreover, the players of Complexity Gaming immediately began to break away, showing a confident attack. In turn, fnatic was out of work in defense, having recorded the defeat - 12:3. After the switchover, keita's men still tried to get back into the game, but the backlog turned out to be too big. As a result, Complexity Gaming managed to perform the first miracle and take the lead in the series — 16:8.

Next, the teams moved to the Vertigo map, which became fnatic's choice. Here, the North Americans started right off the bat, but began to let go of the initiative. In turn, the European team took advantage of their chances to get a comfortable advantage - 9:6. After the switch of sides, Complexity Gaming did not appear on the server, while fnatic confidently finished playing on defense and took the fight to the destroyer — 16:9.

Everything was decided on the Overpass map, which began with the overwhelming advantage of the North Americans. In turn, fnatic caught flashbacks from the first map to get a painfully familiar score - 12:3. After the switch of sides, the comeback did not happen, as Complexity Gaming won the return force-round to finally break the opponent and bring the matter to a sensational victory — 16:3.

IEM Katowice 2023 takes place from 1 to 12 February in Katowice at the Spodek Arena. As part of the championship, 24 teams from the CIS, Europe, North and Latin America, Asia and Oceania are fighting for a total prize pool of $1,000,000, as well as a ticket to IEM Cologne 2023 for the winner.
