compLexity take down eUnited in OT; into Atlanta semi-finals

Complexity are through to the semi-finals at DreamHack Open Atlanta after beating eUnited 22-19 in Group A's winners' match.

The North American clash began with a great round from Jaccob "⁠yay⁠" Whiteaker, who picked up a triple-kill in the pistol round to help Complexity to retake the A site. The FACEIT Major quarter-finalists had no time to celebrate, though, as eUnited hit back on a force-buy, setting themselves up for a 3-1 lead.

After getting their economy back on track, Complexity put together a string of rounds, but all of a sudden Kaleb "⁠moose⁠" Jayne ran amok, pulling off several multi-kills to put eUnited back in the lead. Pujan "⁠FNS⁠" Mehta looked on course for a comfortable first half, but then a successful B eco stack from Complexity turned the game around.

Complexity went into the break up 8-7, and they carried that momentum into the second half, winning five rounds in a row to secure a comfortable lead. Pinned against the ropes, eUnited dug deep and survived two match points off the back of more great plays by moose.

The first overtime could not determine a winner as both teams won two rounds on the offensive side, but then Complexity put the game to bed thanks to a perfect 3-0 CT half, assuring themselves of the top spot in Group A and sealing passage to the semi-finals.
