The upcoming match between Complexity and Virtus.pro at the BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier is crucial in the fight for a spot in the next stage. Both teams showed good performance over the past year, however, they have both made targeted roster changes. Let's take a look at the teams' form and their map pool to find out who will emerge victorious in this encounter.

Current Form of the Teams

Complexity

The team Complexity is entering the BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier with an updated roster. This is their first tournament of the year, and in recent events, the team has not had the chance to showcase their abilities. Their last official match was at the Perfect World Shanghai Major Opening Stage, where they were eliminated with a result of 2-3.

In the last five matches, Complexity secured two wins — against Imperial and Cloud9, but lost to Passion UA, FlyQuest and BIG. Given the roster changes and lack of an established play style, their current form raises questions.

Virtus.pro

Virtus.pro is also debuting at this tournament with an updated roster. Like Complexity, their previous tournament — Perfect World Shanghai Major Opening Stage — ended with elimination after a result of 1-3.

In the last five matches, Virtus.pro also secured two wins — against Rare Atom and Sashi, but lost to BIG, Wildcard and MIBR. With two new players in the lineup, their form is uncertain, and the outcome of the confrontation will depend on how effectively the players can adapt.

Teams' Map Pool

Complexity traditionally exclude Mirage (29 times), which is likely to be their first ban, while Virtus.pro are expected to ban Nuke (30 times), aligning with their priority decisions.

For their pick, Complexity might choose Vertigo with a win rate of 59% or Ancient with 55%, as they have more frequently shown confident play on these maps. Virtus.pro, on the other hand, may focus on selecting Mirage with their high win rate of 67% or Anubis (57%), targeting the opponent's weak spots.

For the decider, Dust 2 is likely to remain. Both teams have experience on this map: Complexity with a win rate of 50% and Virtus.pro — 44%. Thus, the map may become decisive, where individual skills and team synergy will manifest.

Head-to-Head Matches

Complexity and Virtus.pro have met twice over the past six months. Six months ago, Virtus.pro secured a confident victory with a score of 2:0, and five months ago, Complexity managed to win 2:1. These results show that matches between the teams are often evenly matched, with the outcome depending on current form and preparation.

Match Prediction

The match between Complexity and Virtus.pro promises to be intense, especially considering the lineup changes in both teams. Complexity has shown inconsistent results in recent tournaments, but their updated roster may bring unexpected tactical solutions.

Virtus.pro, in turn, have strengths on maps like Mirage and Anubis, giving them an advantage in the map pool. Success in the match will depend on the adaptation of the new players and how quickly the teams find their playing form. Considering the overall balance of forces and previous performances, Virtus.pro appear to be the more confident contenders for victory. 

Prediction: Virtus.pro win 2:1

The BLAST Bounty Spring 2025: Closed Qualifier is a crucial stage for reaching the final part of the tournament. The Single-Elimination bracket format with Bo3 matches leaves little room for error. Complexity and Virtus.pro must show their maximum because the winner will continue the fight for the title, while the loser will leave the competition.
