Cloud9 vs Complexity Prediction: An easy win for the favorite

Roobet Cup 2022 is the first-ever contest for tournament operator Roobet with a prize pool of $250,000. The tournament will be held online. There was no qualification or preliminaries. All the teams were invited to the live tournament. No matter what, the event will bring together the best teams in the world, which means we are waiting for a serious fight.

The tournament is being played in two rounds: group stage and playoff stage. In the group stage, the sixteen participating teams will be divided into four groups of four and play in a GSL tournament (a so-called Swiss Table, but with two wins or losses). At the end of the group stage, the playoffs will be decided by the first and second-placed teams in each group. The playoffs will be played in a single-elimination system. All tournament matches, including the grand final, will be BO3.

The first game day will end with the match with the clear favorite. Team Cloud9 strongly outclasses their opponents by all parameters, as eloquently testified by the difference in the ratings. No intrigue, much less sensation, is expected in this match.

The American organization has signed a new promising squad of young Russian players who used to play under the Gambit tag. This is a very good chance for our guys to cling to, as they could not play under their previous tag due to the world agenda. They won in the first tournament (after the majors), where the guys played under the new tag (IEM Dallas 2022). They showed a good game and went down mercilessly on their rivals at IEM Dallas 2022. You can see that the signing with the new organization was a good extra motivation for the players, and now they are ready to show their level, return to the top and win every tournament.

The first match of this tournament promises to be easy for Cloud9. They are completely outclassed by their opponent, both tactically and individually. In terms of map pool, Cloud9 is ready to play any choice of opponent, while they have a huge advantage on their strongest maps.

The guys have been playing without replacements for over a year now.

The best hltv ranking is 1st in the world. Currently, they are in 4th place.

The best map is ancient, with a win rate of 86% for 7 maps played.

The American organization Complexity, like Cloud9, has also gone down the path of development by signing new players. But, unlike Cloud9, they did not sign a full squad of high level, but the backbone of the tier-2 team Extra Salt and a few diversified players. Of course, it didn't bring positive results, and the team could not compete with the top teams in Europe. Also, in their region, they could not gain a foothold in the ranks of the top team. Nevertheless, because of their partnership agreements for them, there is a place in almost every event, and the time will come when they will gain experience and show their game.

Before this tournament, after another failure at the Global Esports Tour Dubai 2022, they had a break of two weeks to prepare and correct mistakes. They may have done some work on their game, but does it really matter when your opponent is so experienced and strong. Especially since the best Complexity map (nuke) is always the first ban from the opposing team, and the win rate is negative on the rest. I don't see any outs for the Complexity team in this match.

The last substitution in the line-up was the arrival of Ricky "floppy" Kemery.

The best rating by hltv is 20th in the world. Currently, they are ranked 33rd.

The best map is nuke, with a 71% win rate for 7 maps played.

I recommend taking a bet on Total Under (24.5) rounds on Map 1 for 2.12.

Also, I recommend a bet on Total Under (24.5) rounds on Map 2 for 1.98.
