Passion UA Secure a Highlight Victory in the Second Round Against Complexity Gaming at Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024
1053The teams faced off on Anubis, both squads had suffered losses in their previous matches. Complexity started on the CT side, while Passion UA played as attackers, with the map’s inherent 20% advantage for the attack side.
Complexity didn’t anticipate Passion UA's aggressive playstyle, though they managed to handle the pressure well. A standout moment was during one of Passion's defensive saves. A Complexity player tried to carry an AWP into the next round, but the attacking team delayed planting the bomb, hunted him down, and baited him into a mistake. This playful tactic, including sacrificing one player for the kill, felt more like a casual public server moment with friends than a professional match, but “It’s okay”!
Despite the advantage for the attack side, Passion UA secured only a modest number of rounds in the first half. In round 11, EliGE surprised with an entry kill using a Nova shotgun during an eco round, later delivering a quad kill during a rotation to site A, sealing the round for Complexity at 5-7. Passion fought back, ending the half 6-9 after strong defensive plays and a crushing round led by zeRRoFIX, whose FAMAS spray earned three crucial kills.
In the second half, Complexity’s aggression brought the score to 7-11 with trades through mid, forcing Passion UA into a tactical timeout. Afterward, Passion retook momentum with a decisive round at 8-12, using clever utility and winning a 2v2 post-plant duel for match point. They closed the game 9-13, with the team securing three headshots, including two jackasmo highlighted Deagle plays, earning Passion UA the win.
