Complexity Gaming vs. Imperial Esports Prediction on March 31, 2023

Match info

In the penultimate quarterfinal match of the CS: GO’s BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Americas on the schedule (Friday, March 31, at 7:30 PM CEST), Complexity Gaming and Imperial Esports will face off online. It will be an entertaining match, but we wouldn’t say that either of the two has a great chance of making the Washington tournament.

Meeting statistics

First and foremost, we have serious concerns with the performance of the North American team, who rose to prominence in Katowice but most recently failed to qualify for the ESL Pro League Season 17 playoffs. On the other hand, Imperial Esports fared even worse in Malta, where they failed to record a single victory. In reality, the Brazilian team began to slip even in the qualifying rounds.

So what can be anticipated from such a “cute“ couple? As they already faced off against one another at the tournament that preceded this one, these teams must and most certainly will close their cards. As it’s impossible to choose a favorite in this situation (bookies from the CS: GO betting websites list are also indecisive), we’d suggest staying alert on the three-card option. We’ll repeat this once again later.

The current form of Complexity Gaming

At IEM Katowice 2023, the eighth-ranked team in the world shocked everyone by nearly reaching the playoffs, stunning MOUZ and fnatic, and seizing the cards from Outsiders and Heroic. The North American team next failed to advance to IEM Rio 2023 but did so for the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 America RMR, not suffering a single defeat.

However, they saw a classic regression to the form during the group round of the ESL Pro League Season 17 as they were only able to defeat Imperial Esports, which was their sole win before quickly pulling away from the competition.

The latest results of Complexity Gaming:

• Victory over MIBR with a score of 2-1.
• Lost to BIG with a score of 1-2.
• Lost to Movistar Riders with a score of 0-2.
• Victory over Imperial Esports with a score of 2-1.
• Lost to BIG with a score of 1-2.

Complexity’s card with the most wins is Overpass (67%). Needless to mention that the North American team hasn’t shown themselves on the Mirage map in a while.

The current form of Imperial Esports

The 33rd-ranked club in the world had a strong start to the new campaign, earning spots in the BLAST as well as the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 America RMR and BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2023 Americas. Unfortunately, the Brazilian team failed during the group round of ESL Pro League Season 17, which led to three losses, last place, and elimination. Yes, the guys were very close in all those matches, but everyone remembers only the outcome. Most recently, Imperial Esports were unable to pass the open qualification for IEM Dallas 2023, falling to The Union.

The latest results of Imperial Esports:

• Victory over 9z with a score of 2-1.
• Lost to FURIA with a score of 0-2.
• Lost to SAW with a score of 1-2.
• Lost to Complexity Gaming with a score of 1-2.
• Lost to The Union with a score of 20-22.

The best Nouns card is Nuke – 75% wins. The Brazilian squad, however, keeps rejecting the Anubis card.

Head-to-head encounters

The two teams have only faced off once this season, with Complexity Gaming coming out on top in ESL Pro League Season 17 with a score of 2-1.

Match analytics

Imperial Esports possess some rationality, but they are unable to press rivals in their games. It’s obvious that Complexity will be the duel’s favorite, but there are also systematic issues in their play.

As a result, we recommend placing a bet on total maps of over 2.5 with odds of 2.09 on Pinnacle.
