ESL Pro League Season 19: NaVi suffered a defeat against Complexity! Results of the match

Yesterday's decisive match before the playoff stage brought us a sensation. The unstable Complexity team defeated the reigning Major champions - Natus Vincere. This is despite the fact that the yellow-black team won the first map and were leading on the second. Let's take a closer look at this match.

Results of the match Natus Vincere vs Complexity within ESL Pro League Season 19:

• 1. Natus Vincere removed Vertigo
• 2. Complexity removed Mirage
• 3. Natus Vincere picked Ancient
• 4. Complexity picked Anubis
• 5. Natus Vincere removed Overpass
• 6. Complexity removed Inferno
• 7. Nuke was left over

The map selection by both teams looked standard, and all three maps were comfortable for the reigning Major champions. It all started on Ancient, where NaVi took 7 rounds as attackers in the first half, which is more than enough when you have a well-trained defense. A significant factor was that the yellow-black team won both pistol rounds, which is crucial in CS2. On the attack, Complexity couldn't fully shine, winning only 3 rounds. The final score was 13:8 in favor of Natus Vincere.

On Anubis, it began with another won pistol round by Natus Vincere, after which they led the map with a score of 5:1. However, Aleksib and the team pushed back against Complexity's defense, and the half ended with an even score of 6:6, clearly not in favor of NaVi, as they started on the strong side. After Complexity won the second pistol round, it was clear that we should expect a decisive map on Nuke. The score was 13:9 in favor of Complexity.

On Nuke, NaVi put up a decent defense, and 7 rounds could have been enough for them to win the match. However, after the side switch, although the yellow-black team won the pistol round, they lost the second and all subsequent rounds. As a result, only 1 round was won by NaVi on the attack, leading to a victory for Complexity.
