Complexity takes out Astralis in Last Chance ESL Pro League Season 20 bracket

In Malta, for the second day in a row, the Astralis team suffered a defeat, this time at the hands of American Complexity, losing 2-0 in the middle set of ESL Pro League Season 20. For the Danes, this is their second consecutive defeat at the tournament, which puts their further participation in danger.

The interest in this match is due to the fact that Astralis, despite their history of success, have been facing difficulties in the game lately. The loss to Complexity, a team that has also not shown stability, puts into question the current form of the Danes and their chances of getting back into the playoff race.

Tough tournament path

After losing to fnatic in the first match, Astralis found themselves in the middle bracket, where they needed to defeat Complexity to continue their fight. However, even here the Danes failed to perform at their best, and the match was a real test for both teams. ESL Pro League has always been famous for unexpected results and Astralis' defeat only adds intrigue to the development of events.

Overtime and fight on every map

The first map was Vertigo, which is rarely chosen at this stage of the tournament. The game was tense, the teams fought on equal terms and despite the efforts of Astralis players, including jabbi, the match went into overtime. Complexity, led by EliGE, won the map with the score 19:17.

 
 

On the second map, Inferno, the game was also very close. Before the change of sides the score was 6:6, and after that the teams went toe-to-toe, reaching 12:12. However, here again in overtime Complexity were stronger, ending the match 16:14.

Conclusion

Astralis will now have to play in the Last Chance stage, where mistakes are unacceptable. In the first game, which will take place on Friday at 16:30, their opponent will be Rooster. Complexity are further down the middle and will meet the loser of the MOUZ - Imperial match.
