This nail-biting encounter not only marked Complexity’s entry into the Major but also served as a poignant narrative for Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski, who delivered a stellar performance against his former team, Liquid.
EliGE’s exceptional display underscored his continual improvement in Counter-Strike 2, as he propelled Complexity past Liquid, a team boasting significant offseason acquisitions in Casper “cadiaN” M?ller and Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken.
Despite Liquid’s aspirations and roster enhancements, Complexity’s strategic prowess and map dominance, particularly on Anubis and Overpass, proved decisive.
Liquid’s defeat, while disappointing, can partly be attributed to their faltering performance and shallow map pool, which allowed Complexity to capitalize on their strengths.
Despite a valiant effort from Liquid, including cadiaN’s remarkable AWP ace on Inferno, Complexity’s cohesion and resilience secured them the coveted Major berth.
Meanwhile, paiN Gaming, the third Brazilian team to qualify, showcased their dominance in a convincing 2-0 (13-3, 13-7) victory over ODDIK.

Led by Rodrigo “biguzera” Bittencourt’s strategic guidance and the team’s unwavering confidence, paiN’s flawless performance on Inferno and Vertigo demonstrated their readiness for the Major stage.
Legacy, led by Marcelo “coldzera” David, clinched their Major spot with a hard-fought 2-1 (6-13, 16-12, 13-8) series victory against M80.
