Complexity defeated Ninjas in Pyjamas 2-1

Complexity defeated Ninjas in Pyjamas 2-1 in the first round of BLAST Premier Fall Groups, foiling Hampus "hampus" Poser's attempt to compete with NIP on a LAN again. The North American team heartbreakingly lost the opening map of Inferno (14-16) before recovering on Nuke (16-12) and Overpass (16-13). EliGE and Kristian "k0nfig" Wienecke engaged in a high-stakes struggle throughout the series, each of whom sat atop the leaderboard for their respective teams and occasionally used entry kills and clutches to push their teams over the finish line. The North American player, though, had the last laugh as Complexity narrowly won the series thanks to his 28 kills in the finale.

Complexity will now compete in the upper bracket final versus Vitality, the current Major winners, while Evil Geniuses and Ninjas in Pyjamas will square off.
