Astralis and Complexity will compete for the right to get into the playoffs of Roobet Cup 2022. Honestly, the North American team simply has nothing to do further, since the Danes can lose in the quarterfinals with a score of 0:2, but at least they look more interesting in terms of their discipline.
As for Complexity, the team took a technical victory over Movistar Riders with luck, as the Spaniards went to play ESL Challenger League Season 41 Europe - funny, but this is a topic for another discussion.
The Danish team, on the eve, lost to Cloud9 without a chance, showing an unprincipled and spineless game. It is clear that Astralis has nothing to catch against TIER-1 rivals now, but Complexity is not like that. Therefore, in this case it is better to believe in logic and trust the experience of the Danes than to believe in a miracle from the North American team.
Astralis shape
The twelfth team of the world ranking recently visited the Pinnacle Cup Championship 2022, where they showed a good game in the group, but still fell off Heroic in the grand final.
As for the start of the Roobet Cup 2022, here the Danish team managed to cope with Movistar Riders, even though they played against the Spaniards twice on the Mirage map. In any case, Astralis has not yet sunk to the point of losing in such matches.
But the team's problem still lies in the lack of ideas, because the day before the Danes simply lost to Cloud9 without a chance. It is clear that Astralis is not so good online, but not so good as to burn out at 7:16 on both maps.

- Dust 2 - 50% win rate.
At the same time, the Danish team manages to abandon both Inferno and Vertigo with Mirage.
Complexity form
The 33rd team in the world ranking shows literally nothing during the six months of its existence. Yes, the team had a major, where it failed anyway.
Further, the North Americans ingloriously flew out from IEM Dallas 2022 and Global Esports Tour Dubai 2022, if memory serves, without winning a single match. Therefore, it makes no sense to dwell on a team that, according to representatives of the scene, just sits on a salary and does not try to grow in terms of play.
As for the group stage of Roobet Cup 2022, Complexity has already lost to Cloud9. It seemed that the team would give way to Movistar Riders and go home, but the Spaniards decided otherwise and gave the North Americans the first "victory" in two months.
Latest Complexity results:
- Lost to MIBR with a score of 4:16.

Astralis vs Complexity Match Statistics
As part of the current season, the teams held one meeting - at ESL Pro League Season 15, the victory went to Astralis (2:1).
Prediction for the match Astralis — Complexity
To some extent, the teams have common problems. For example, the absence of a sniper who would hit in default situations and at least not spoil the raspberries.
However, it is necessary to make allowances for the difference in the class and the level of preparation of the teams. And if Astralis trains in Europe, keeping the bar at an average level, then nothing helps the North American team, because they simply do not want to.
I do not think that Complexity will have the courage to beat Astralis, since there is no one to play there. And no one will blameF in this game, so the Danes will have excellent chances.
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Astralis team with a score of 2:0.
