G2 and Complexity Gaming will meet in the second round of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage to play for the right to go 2-0 to the basket and play for a slot in the Legends tomorrow.
Perhaps no one in their right mind would poke fun at Complexity Gaming, who have already been in trouble for months at a time, and have also been caught out by G2.
Yes, the Samurai have been away from us for far too long, but they managed to wake up at the Long Cogne of this championship and didn't make a sensation. So here I would rely on a logical victory for G2.
Form G2
The fourth team of the world ranking had a mixed performance in ESL Pro League Season 17, where, although it reached the play-offs, it suffered a toothless defeat against ENCE already in the quarterfinals.
Next up, the European side ran into a bit of trouble at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Europe RMR B, where Ledgeil 9INE, and also failed to cope with Vitality in the tiebreaker for the place in the "legends".
The good thing is that in the first round of BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, G2 managed to get the upper hand over TheMongolz, although the team played too weakly in defence and allowed their opponent to control the match.
The latest G2 results:
- A 16-3 victory over iNation.
- 16-14 win over Aurora Gaming.
- A 2-0 win over Cloud9.
- 0-2 defeat by Vitality.
- 16-11 win over TheMongolz.
Top scorers in G2:
- Nuke - 78% wins.
- Inferno - 71% wins.
- Anubis - 67% wins.
- Ancient - 67% wins.
- Vertigo - 67% wins.
It should not be forgotten that the European squad is still refusing the Overpass.
Form Complexity Gaming
The eighteenth team in the world ranking played very poorly at their BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Americas RMR where they managed to lose to paiN Gaming but still qualified for the majors.
The North American squad also recently took part in ESL Challenger Melbourne 2023, where they didn't even make the play-offs after losses to Grayhound Gaming and ECSTATIC.
As for Long Sogpeg in the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, Complexity Gaming managed to squeeze GamerLegion here, although the team still has no attack on Inferno. And in general, North Americans look weak especially against the opponent.
The latest results Complexity Gaming:
- A 2-0 win over MIBR.
- Victory over ECSTATIC by a score of 16-14.
- 11-16 loss to Grayhound Gaming.
- ECSTATIC beat ECSTATIC 1-2.
- 16-11 win over GamerLegion.
Top scores for Complexity Gaming:
- Overpass - 86% wins.
- Nuke - 70% wins.
- Inferno - 67% wins.
In turn, the North American team has not featured on the Mirage map for a long time.

Last season the teams played one meeting - on BLAST Premier: Spring Groups 2022 victory went to G2 (16:12).
Forecast for G2 vs Complexity Gaming
I don't believe at all in the North American team that looks too weak against G2. Complexity Gaming has already surprised me personally with a victory at the Long Song of the Championship, but nothing more than that as their offense is still in the dark.
In turn, the European team managed to find their groove. And I don't rule out the possibility that we'll have another look at the Inferno card, which is comfortable for everyone. All other things being equal, Complexity Gaming doesn't stand a chance here.
Therefore, in this case, I would recommend betting on G2 to win.
