Complexity last met with Evil Geniuses during Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2023 at the end of May and won 2-0. Both teams have since made roster changes, but the balance of power hasn’t changed much.
Complexity are priced as firm favourites to win this match, and it’s very hard to argue with that. Even though Complexity aren’t a top-rated team, and they haven’t achieved much this season, Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski and co. have looked good over the last few weeks.
Following a rough start to their post-summer break campaign, Complexity found traction, won Thunderpick World Championship 2023: North American Series #2 at the end of August and added a top-12 finish at ESL Pro League Season 18.
In Malta, Complexity defeated 9INE and Cloud9 and took a map from G2 Esports (1-2) in the Group D final before getting eliminated by Monte in Round 12. On the other side, Evil Geniuses exited ESL Pro League Season 18 in 21st-28th place and have only looked decent in a couple of B-Tier events.

Legacy (formerly Fake Natty) and FURIA Esports have yet to meet this season, although the core of the two squads met in October 2022 during Intel Extreme Masters Rio Major 2022, when FURIA won 16-6. According to the offered CS:GO betting odds, FURIA are expected to come out on top again.
FURIA Esports have not accomplished anything noteworthy since the turn of the year but have found some success over the last few weeks. They finished runner-up at Pinnacle Cup V at the end of August and made playoffs at ESL Pro League Season 18 at the end of September. Still, FURIA haven’t beaten any notable teams during that stretch.
Before splitting from 00Nation, Legacy have looked very good, but the Brazilian lineup hasn’t made much noise since August. Two 9th-16th finishes at CCT East Europe Series #1 and CCT North Europe Series #7, followed by a top-six finish at CCT Online Finals #3, doesn’t inspire much confidence. And their record (2-6) doesn’t help make a strong case for the outsiders.
But this is a clash between two Brazilian rosters who know each other well, making a close game more believable. FURIA should win, but we expect to see the series go the distance.
