Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 Opening StageComplexity sent to 0-2 pool, The MongolZ go 2-0
Disjointed play and a lack of firepower has Complexity staring at early elimination.
Complexity are facing elimination after the first day of play at Perfect World Shanghai Major, following up their battering by FlyQuest by losing fairly convincingly to Passion UA.
Elsewhere in the Opening Stage, The MongolZ made good on their status as pre-stage favorites by comfortably sailing out to a 2-0 record after easing past MIBR.
Complexity were woeful in their opener against FlyQuest, and weren't much better when they took on Passion UA. Jonathan "EliGE" Jablonowski and Michael "Grim" Wince were the only firepower to speak of and they were so disjointed in multiple mid-round scenarios, whilst Passion UA showed good reads, potent shooting even with pistols, and never got flustered after rough round losses.
"I think both teams played really good CS," Tiaan "T.c" Coertzen said of his team's opening day. "You're not gonna get any free games here, so it's on us to step it up." Many Pick'Ems had Complexity going through this stage, but their play thus far will leave just as many people regretting their decision.
The MongolZ, meanwhile, made quick work of their first day of play, going 26-8 in rounds. MIBR offered a little more resistance than Rare Atom, but not by much, and no one will want to face The MongolZ in the 2-0 pool.
