The group stage matches of Group B at the BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023 have concluded, so it's time to make predictions for the decisive matches in this group. We are now trying to determine who will win the match between Team Vitality and Complexity Gaming.
Both teams won their opening matches in the championship. This match-up will decide who advances to the semifinals of the championship and who will enter the quarterfinals.
Individual Form
Pre-match statistics clearly show that Team Vitality is significantly better than their opponents. For example, Team Vitality has a 5% higher headshot percentage.
The last time these teams met was four months ago, and then Team Vitality won with a 2:0 score, but that was in CS:GO. Complexity has shown much better performance in CS2, as evidenced by their comeback against Team Astralis in the first match of BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023.
It is also worth noting that Complexity Gaming has not changed their lineup since the release of CS2, whereas Vitality has already made some replacements.
In:
Out:
- zonic → Falcons
- dupreeh → Heroic
- Magisk parts ways with Vitality
Map Pool
Now let's talk about more interesting things, namely which maps the teams will play in the match.
First, discard Mirage and Ancient, as these maps are permabans for the teams. Next, we'll discuss the first pick of the competing teams.
An ideal option for Complexity would be to pick the Inferno map, while for Team Vitality, it would be Nuke, where they have only lost to FaZe Clan recently.
Finally, the teams will likely play Anubis, which is not a signature map for either team, but they both feel quite comfortable there.
Prediction
Regardless of the situation, Complexity Gaming is trying to establish itself at the tier-1 level, but they still have a lot of work to do. Thus, playing against Team Vitality will be an invaluable experience for them, which they will earn at the LAN championship.
So, our prediction is a 2:1 victory in favor of Team Vitality.
