MIBR faced Complexity yesterday in the first match of the day at CSGO BLAST Premier Spring Gauntlet. NA cSGO did not stand a chance.
MIBR and Complexity are both newly formed rosters. Chronologically, Complexity announced their roster much much later.
Hence, it is common sense that the newly formed roster did not have much practice, in any map for that matter. But, the gameplay and strategies were definitely there.

Both MIBR and Complexity made a number of unforced errors. Eventually, MIBR came out on top. A whitewash to end the BO3 series.
The matches were to be played in Nuke, Ancient and Inferno. The matchup never reached Inferno. Hence, the round on Ancient was the decider.
Complexity suffered in both maps. As usual, they started off decent but soon ran out of viable strats to make a definitive impact.

The late push from Complexity was not adequate. Complexity is definitely improving. But, more needs to be done.
Honestly, there is a massive skill gap. And that is the real cause of the downfall of NA CSGO. No finesse and only style cannot maketh a Major roster.
Only three things matter: Practice, practice and more practice. Sanguinely, we can expect improvements next week at the Last Chance.
