compLexity Gaming came out on top after a 3:2 battle against paiN X for the final spot at ESL One Hamburg 2018.
compLexity Gaming was looking sharp in the ESL One Hamburg 2018 NA qualifiers. They had plowed through two of their opponents 2:0 to be the first to reach the grand finals and gain the one game advantage. They then locked horns with the SA team paiN X who was looking to join their sister team, paiN Gaming at the main event. As the two final teams clashed, paiN X's wins were flanked by two heavily one-sided victories for compLexity and the winner bracket advantage became the deciding factor.
When compLexity Gaming missed out on the attending the Kuala Lumpur Major the team cruised through the qualifiers for DreamLeague Season 10 Minor to become the first of two NA teams to claim a spot at the minor in Sweden.
