The group stage of BLAST.tv Austin Major will see a tense clash between Complexity and OG — two teams that are showing potential but are approaching the tournament with different backgrounds. Complexity relies on structured play and a strong map pool, while OG is in good shape after a series of tournament appearances. Who will emerge victorious in this bo1? Let’s take a look.
Current form of the teams
Complexity
The team has played 48 maps in the last three months, winning 35 of them — a very respectable record. At the same time, Complexity did not participate in any tournaments in May, which could either give them more time to prepare or affect their playing form. In their last five matches, the team defeated paiN, BLUEJAYS, and Getting Info, but lost to The Mongolz and GamerLegion.
OG
OG has played significantly more maps — 88, of which 55 ended in victory. Over the past month, the team has been actively participating in tournaments: 5th-8th place in the Thunderpick World Championship 2025 European Series 1 and A1 Gaming League Season 10, as well as top 4 in CCT Season 3 Europe Series 1. In recent matches, OG defeated 9INE, Astrum, and Zero Tenacity, but lost to Astrum and PARIVISION — the result is unstable, but with potential.
Team map pool
In the bo1 format, where the map is determined by a step-by-step ban, it is important to guess the strengths and weaknesses of your opponent.
Complexity will most likely ban Mirage first, as they almost never play it. OG, in turn, will get rid of Train — this is a stable ban against everyone. Leaving maps that are strong for both sides in the veto, we can assume the following:
Bans: Mirage (from Complexity), Train (from OG), then probably Dust2 and Ancient
Remaining in the selection: Nuke, Anubis, Inferno
Considering OG’s strength on Nuke (79% win rate) and Complexity’s good stats on Anubis (86%) and Nuke (80%), it is most likely that Inferno will remain on the decisive map — one of the most balanced maps for both teams.
Head-to-head matches
OG and Complexity have not met in official matches in the last six months. This means that both teams will have limited information about each other in a direct confrontation, and adaptation during the game and readiness for unexpected decisions by the opponent will play a big role.
Match prediction
Both teams come into the match with different advantages. OG has played a significant number of official matches over the past month and has had consistent results in several tournaments. This helps the team maintain its rhythm and adapt to different opponents. Complexity, on the other hand, has had more time to train and looks well prepared — especially on its strongest maps.
In the bo1 format, map pool and starting confidence will be crucial. Neither team will be able to easily draw their opponent to an uncomfortable map, so the game promises to be even.
Tedd, a scene analyst, notes:
“I’m a big fan of OG because of Chr1zN — I think he’s an exceptional player and a future star. But Complexity, in my opinion, is on the right track: they are getting better at vetoing and progressing overall. It’s a 50-50 game… In a bo3 format, I would probably choose OG, but here I’ll bet on Complexity.”
Considering the better preparation on key maps and the potential of the players, the prediction is: a victory for Complexity with a minimal advantage.
