Natus Vincere defeated Complexity and advanced to the final part of the top set of the European ESL Pro League Season 12 European Championship. Now they will face the winner of the match BIG – Heroic, which will be determined in the evening of October 1.
The last time NAVI and Complexity met at ESL One Cologne, the CIS team lost 2:0. This time, Natus Vincere were able to continue their convincing winning streak: with the exception of a loss to ENCE in the group stage, they didn't lose once during the tournament. Not surprisingly, they were also able to defeat Complexity without losing a single card.
In the match against Complexity, NAVI were able to quickly seize the initiative on Nuke, winning eight rounds in a row and eventually taking that map to their account (16:10). On Train, the teams were almost on par at first, but gradually the CIS team gained an advantage. After changing sides, NAVI players successfully anticipated their opponent's actions in almost every round, eventually reaching the score 16:7.
Complexity will now find itself in the bottom set of the tournament, where it will face Astralis. The Danes have had mixed performances so far, losing their match against Heroic in the opening round of the top set and then defeating Spirit.
