Complexity have been eliminated from the BLAST.tv Austin Major on day three following a 0-2 loss to TYLOO in Stage 1's 1-2 pool. It's a disappointing end to the Major campaign from the North American side, who couldn't get into their groove in Austin without AWPer Håkon "⁠hallzerk⁠" Fjærli.

For Complexity, the pain of the loss is compounded by their lackluster showing on Train, one of their strongest maps in 2025. It's their second consecutive Train defeat after a 10-0 run on the map.

The North Americans made a bright start to the series as they raced out to a 6-2 lead on Train thanks to Michael "⁠Grim⁠" Wince, who racked up 19 frags on the T side, 11 more than his closest teammate. TYLOO tightened up to make it a 6-6 half, and then they plowed through the Complexity defense in the second half to pick up an easy win.

Inferno began with a pistol ace by YuanZhang "⁠Attacker⁠" Sheng, but the first half was mostly controlled by Complexity, who secured a 7-5 lead thanks to back-to-back 1v1s from Paytyn "⁠junior⁠" Johnson before half-time.

Grim added to Complexity's lead with a pistol 1v1, paving the way for a 10-5 score. However, as soon as guns came into play, the landscape of the game changed completely as TYLOO took control of proceedings, with Jingxiang "⁠Mercury⁠" Wang and Dongkai "⁠Jee⁠" Ji combining for 26 frags on the defense.

Grim after elimination: "It's very disappointing"

Speaking to Freya "⁠Freya⁠" Spiers after the match, Grim admitted his disappointment at Complexity's early exit from the Major.

"It's very disappointing," he said. "I've lived in Austin for so long. I wanted to make the stage really badly. We were not at 100% going into this event, but we did what we could. It's just very disappointing. I wish we could have done more."

Grim added that the team was disjointed on CT side Train and T side Inferno. "We were never on the same page. That bites you sometimes against good teams."
