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
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.
