Match Prediction: Team Spirit - Complexity Gaming | Counter-Strike (CS2)
IEM Cologne 2022 Play-InTeam Spirit and Complexity will meet in the first round of IEM Cologne 2022 Play-In. Even though we are dealing with BO1, the North American team does not have a single chance to jump above its head and get a victory here. Well, really, it's already embarrassing to look at a Complexity game that hasn't won since the Major.
In turn, Team Spirit has a new sniper, who is no worse than degster. It is clear that the lack of a coach behind the backs of the players can be attributed to the minus, but, as the same major showed, this does not bother the guys too much.
And otherwise, the Russian team simply has a huge advantage over the opponent, who cannot even outplay the Czechs with a coach in the squad. In my opinion, it smacks of an early disband here.
Team Spirit Uniform
The tenth team in the world ranking surprised everyone at PGL Major Antwerp 2022, where they reached the semi-finals and lost to FaZe Clan in an equal fight. If you look at that meeting, then the Russian team simply did not have enough experience. But in general, the “dragons” already performed better than expected, leaving room for development.
However, Team Spirit then rolled back, losing to Finest in the Pinnacle Cup IV playoffs. And yet you can forget about that game, because the team did not really train and did not prepare for the match.
The main news was the departure of degster, who was replaced by the talented w0nderful. At the same time, the new sniper had enough time to fit into the structure of the new team. And I see no reason why Team Spirit will lose to such a weak opponent.

Complexity form
The 33rd team of the world ranking continues to be dishonored at every championship where it gets into. But the most interesting thing is that the North American team has not won since the Major, while playing a bunch of official matches.
From the last Complexity failed at IEM Dallas 2022, Global Esports Tour Dubai 2022 and Roobet Cup 2022, nowhere showing at least a drop of desire to win.
Well, the icing on the cake, or the nail in the coffin, was the defeat by SINNERS in the quarterfinals of the Elisa Invitational Spring 2022. Honestly, after this, you doubt the wisdom of the club's management, which keeps such players on a crazy salary.
Latest Complexity results:
- Lost to OG with a score of 1:2.

Prediction for the match Team Spirit — Complexity
I do not believe in a miracle, nor in the fact that the North American team will get the first victory in a few months. I do not even have censorship words to describe all the indignation regarding the game Complexity.
And here we don’t even have to talk about Team Spirit, which, yes, didn’t play for a month and a half, but still has the right to be called the unconditional favorite for past merits. Plus, the “dragons” made a point replacement, which at a distance will definitely not make it worse.
Therefore, here I would recommend betting on the victory of the Team Spirit team with Handicap in rounds (-3.5).
