Esports World Cup 2024M80 upset Complexity, The MongolZ trounce MIBR in LCQ
Complexity dropped the ball after a big lead early on and were sent home in the North American derby.
M80 and The MongolZ are set to face off in the Last Chance Qualifier's semi-finals on the side of the bracket opposite FURIA and Sashi.
The Mongolian squad won their opening LCQ match without skipping a beat as Ayush "mzinho" Batbold tore through MIBR relentlessly and in the end crossed the 2.00 rating threshold with 19 kills in only 15 rounds as he and his team took it 13-2 on Inferno.
This puts an end to a nightmarish tournament for the Brazilians, who lost to Spirit in two one-sided maps and then got handed another big defeat by Garidmagnai "bLitz" Byambasuren and his men.

On the other server it was M80 and Complexity battling in the North American derby. The two teams took to Anubis, where Johnny "JT" Theodosiou and his men started on the defense and did so in style.
M80's newcomer Mason "Lake" Sanderson downed three to give his team the pistol round, but Complexity dominated 7-1 before dropping the final four rounds of the half.
Complexity then dropped a 5vs2 and allowed M80 to get within striking distance at the half, 5-7. From there on out North America's top team looked discombobulated on the attack and never quite in control.
In the end it took one overtime and newcomer Lake to show great potential with a 1.25 rating, as he and his team made it across the finish line in the last round of the first overtime, 16-14.
"We had mountains and mountains of mistakes, it looked like an NA ECL game from both teams," a disappointed Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski told Freya "Freya" Spiers after the broadcast.
"It's tiring because we haven't been getting better with these types of mistakes, they're too frequent and this is how you lose games," he continued.
"Our comms are fine at the beginning of the round and everything, it's just things break down really quickly and we lose rounds that we shouldn't and give away a lot of advantages."
