CompLexity vs Evil Geniuses: Battle of the outsiders

Another major tournament in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive discipline kicks off on March 9. ESL Pro League Season 15 takes place from March 9 to April 10. 24 teams will compete for $823,000 in prize money. The tournament features the best teams in the world, so there’s no doubt that fans will be treated to a game of the highest level. All we can do is enjoy the game.

On April 2, CompLexity and Evil Geniuses will play their next match in the group stage of ESL Pro League Season 15. We’ll find out which team will be stronger soon enough.

CompLexity performed well at the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Americas RMR Qualifier. The team looked confident in all the matches and beat not only outsiders but also the stalwart Team Liquid. However, at ESL Pro League Season 15, all of that is nowhere to be seen. The team has already lost two matches and if the loss to Heroic was quite expected, the failure in the match with AGO was a real failure. Especially considering the defeat on the third decisive map. After all, it was Vertigo. On this map, CompLexity has a 100% win rate. Today is the last chance for the American team to fight for the playoffs. If the team loses today, they will lose their chances of reaching the next stage. It will become possible if the team beats NaVi, which is very unlikely.

Looking at the upcoming match, Vertigo looks a good option for the CompLexity peak. The guys have an 80% win rate on this map and win over Team Liquid and Gambit Esports. Yes, something went wrong in the last match, but the Americans need to work on their mistakes. In addition, the Evil Geniuses themselves do not look the best on this map. Other options are less believable; EG’s Dust2 isn’t that bad. The team could score many rounds against NaVi and BIG, strong teams on this map. Therefore, Vertigo should be the final CompLexity decision on which guys should win.

Evil Geniuses continues to show a terrible game. The team has been underperforming for a long time. Everything was wonderful, but at some point, the organisation just stopped winning. No transfers are helping. The squad now looks unpromising. There is not a single strong shooter in the team. Everything looks very sad and the only way to get out of this situation is to clean the roster completely. At ESL Pro League Season 15 Evil Geniuses showed nothing. The team lost both matches 0-2. They got to ten rounds only on one map out of four. In terms of play, it’s the worst team in all four groups.

As for the upcoming match, Evil Geniuses should not win on any map. The guys don’t know their strengths, because they don’t have any. Yesterday, they pipped Overpass against NaVi. Why? Why? They could score two rounds on it. Genius pick. Evil Geniuses can try to take Nuke this time, pushing back on the opponent’s weaknesses, but victory, even on this map, is not believable. This team can’t win and shouldn’t. We are left to watch for replacements to happen in the team when the management realizes that this squad has no prospects.

Evil Geniuses is too weak right now. One cannot believe in the team at all. The bookmakers offer 1.60 for CompLexity to win, which looks like a good option. You can also take CompLexity’s victory with a handicap (-3.5) for 1.79 or take CompLexity’s 2-0 win for 2.73.
