Michael "Grim" Wince, showing amazing resilience and skill, overcame severe food poisoning to lead Complexity to a surprise victory over reigning Major champions, Natus Vincere, securing a top-8 spot at ESL Pro League Season 19.
Despite health issues that left him unable to eat for over 30 hours and suffering from multiple bouts of vomiting, Grim put on an amazing performance, finishing with a 6.9 rating. This performance played a crucial role in Complexity's surprise victory, especially considering their outsider status before the match.
The subsequent events of the match emphasized the severity of Grim's condition. Commentator SPUNJ noted Grim's discomfort, pointing to a bucket next to his table during the post-match interview. Teammate hallzerk detailed Grim's torment, showing the extent of his malaise and lack of food, in stark contrast to his accuracy and efficiency in the game.
This incident adds to the alarming trend of food poisoning suffered by North American players in Malta, as well as other members of Complexity and players from BOSS. Despite these health issues, the team is hoping for a speedy recovery before their next match, drawing inspiration from Grim's courageous performance in a difficult time.
