Easy walk for Complexity Gaming and a win over Imperial Esports

In the 3rd round of the Opening Stage at the Shanghai Major 2024, Complexity Gaming faced off against Imperial Esports. Both teams aimed to deliver their best performance to keep their chances alive for advancing to the next stage of the tournament. After the first two rounds, both teams held a 0-2 record, meaning any mistake could cost them their place in the competition.

The first map pick went to Imperial, who chose Inferno. However, the match didn’t start smoothly for them. After four rounds, the score stood at 4-0 in favor of Complexity, forcing Imperial to adopt a more cautious approach.

Imperial Esports managed to find their footing and recover a few rounds, but it wasn’t enough to turn the tide.

In conclusion, Complexity won the second map with a 13-5 score, closing the series 2-0. As a result, Imperial Esports were eliminated from the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024, while Complexity Gaming, with a 1-2 record, continue their fight to advance to the next stage of the tournament.
