Complexity vs ALTERNATIVE aTTaX Prediction: How uncompetitive will ALTERNATIVE aTTaX be?

Prediction for the Complexity vs ALTERNATIVE aTTaX match which will take place on August 7th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Complexity

Complexity has returned to the Counter-Strike elite after EliGE's move. Jonathan has become a former star for the organization and has helped them win several CS2 titles. Complexity is struggling at the tier-1 level but overall has a place in the top 10 of HLTV. Periodically, the organization drops out of that list and climbs back up. So, overall, Complexity is still a good enough team to get invited to the big tournaments and fight for a place in the sun.

The main one seems to be the fixation on one EliGE. For the American organization to compete for titles and move up the HLTV rankings, they need at least a second player of the same caliber. Such talent is in short supply on the North American scene, and millions will have to be spent on the transfer market. So far, Floppy, Hallzerk, Grim, and JT can't back up their leader regarding firepower and stats. It's enough to get into the majors via RMR and dominate within the region but not enough to compete globally.

The last time Complexity participated in BLAST Premier: Autumn Groups 2024, the team finished second in Group A, losing to Team Spirit in the Grand Final. The EliGE team lost 0:2 to Born to Win in the desiderider for the BLAST Autumn Finals. With the release of CS2, Complexity only loses to teams in the HLTV top 20, not lower.

ALTERNATIVE aTTaX

ALTERNATIVE aTTaX is the winner of the German qualification for the IEM Cologne 2024. This team shone on the top Counter-Strike ladders in 2006-2008, but more than 15 years have passed, versions of the game have changed, and ALTERNATIVE aTTaX has not shone on ladder 1. Now, it's a mix of German players, 97th in the HLTV rankings, not a serious contender in Cologne. Reaching the main stage of the IEM Cologne 2024 would be a sensation.

The same players will play for Germany at the November World Championship in Saudi Arabia. We know that the teams' level is not high, and it makes no sense to analyze ALTERNATIVE ATTaX's entry into the LAN stage. But it's just another achievement for the Germans. On the plus side, the line-up has been playing together since 2022, the last change being in the winter of 2024. The core of ALTERNATIVE aTTaX has been together for two years, so there are common developments, strategies, and synergies. On the downside, the highest level of this team is the top 33 of the HLTV, which is, at best, the level of the tier-3 of the European scene.

At IEM Katowice 2024, Rebels Gaming made it through the Polish qualifiers and sensationally reached the tournament's main stage via play-in. Home advantage can be an essential factor for ALTERNATIVE aTTaX. On paper, we shouldn't expect anything from the Germans, but in practice, we can watch the first games and see how they are affected by the format of a major LAN tournament.

Expert Betting Tips

There will be no home team story in Cologne like in Katowice with Rebels Gaming. Firstly, in Katowice, the old Cloud9 squad contributed to the beautiful story, and here, Complexity still has some stability. Secondly, the Germans' level is very low, both as a team and as individuals. No one doubts that the American team will win, but how uncompetitive will ALTERNATIVE aTTaX be? That's a good question.
