Complexity received a direct invite to the playoff stage and made the most of the privilege by breezing through their first opponents, the jungle. They then had a slightly tougher test against Peter "stanislaw" Jarguz's Forsaken squad but did enough to get a 2-1 victory and secure their spot at the European online tournament.

The Johnny "JT" Theodosiou-led squad thus continues their stranglehold of the North American region, as they also recently secured an IEM Sydney 2023 spot through the NA Closed qualifier.
Nouns, like Complexity, were also directly invited to the playoff stage. Their first match against Badass was a straightforward victory, whereas a 1.41-rated display by Edgar "MarKE" Maldonado in the deciding semi-final match against Evil Geniuses is what got them over the line in three maps to secure a spot at the Thunderpick World Championship.
