MOUZ lock in Cologne playoff berth
The German organization will make its second LANXESS Arena appearance.

Kamil "siuhy" Szkaradek and company have earned their organization an appearance in front of its home crowd following a 2-0 victory over Complexity in the Group B upper bracket semi-final.
The group stage aficionados have yet to lift a trophy in front of a large arena audience, but are among the favorites in the playoffs and will have a chance to dispel that narrative in the LANXESS. Complexity, meanwhile, find themselves cast down to the lower bracket and have a match against a red-hot Liquid ahead to avoid early elimination.

The American team has had a rough time matching up against MOUZ and came into the series with a 4-10 map record and a five-series loss streak, and that record has been made worse following MOUZ's wins on Vertigo (13-9) and Nuke (13-11).
Holes in Complexity's game continued to show in the series, particularly in their overreliance on fragging from Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski and repeated squandered advantages.
Clip: MOUZ recover crucial round on Nuke after COL don't cover Decon
The 27-year-old started the series on fire by punishing Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin at A Ramp, posting a 7-1 K-D to grant Complexity a 5-0 lead.
Once that stopped working, however, Complexity fell completely flat: Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás' AWP and multi-kills from siuhy and Jimi "Jimpphat" Salo powered the European combine to an 11-round streak, and Complexity's best efforts to recover in the second half came too little, too late. EliGE went on a 4-14 run after his hot start, with Johnny "JT" Theodosiou and Ricky "floppy" Kemery unable to make the difference.
The latter rifler did well to deny Ramp attacks at the start of Nuke to grant Complexity a 6-2 lead, but an Upper rush from MOUZ stemmed the bleed for an even score at the break. Dorian "xertioN" Berman then punished a sloppy anti-eco to rob an early round in the second half, but Complexity repeatedly exploited Door to gain the lead.
Back-to-back sloppy late rounds stopped them from converting that into a victory, however, with MOUZ instead converting, 13-11, to maintain their unbeaten record over JT's side on the map and lock in an arena berth.
