Complexity Gaming was dealt a devastating blow right before the BLAST Austin Major and it’s needing to recover at the expense of BetBoom Team during Fissure Playground 1.

Teams ranging from FaZe Clan to Furia made roster tweaks to improve their chances in the major. Some of those paid off, but others didn’t. Complexity was among them, but the team was forced to make those changes due to visa issues just days before the tournament. So what should fans make of the team’s chances heading into Fissure Playground?
Betting tip: Sportsbooks are probably underestimating Complexity Gaming after the team’s early elimination from the BLAST Austin Major.

Complexity Gaming was one of the biggest disappointments of the BLAST Austin Major. The North American squad posted an impressive performance in PGL Bucharest 2025, beating a slew of top-10 teams. This hinted that Complexity might be able to make some real noise at the major. Instead, it bombed out of the first group stage with a 1-3 record.
This wasn’t entirely the team’s fault, though. Håkon “hallzerk” Fjærli was forced out of the tournament just days before it started, with Paytyn “junior” Johnson taking his spot. That’s a losing situation for both parties, and junior didn’t exceed expectations at the event.

Still, Complexity Gaming is a better team than what was on display in Austin. Meanwhile, BetBoom Team might not be as good as what fans saw at the major.
The squad of Russian veterans benched Aleksandr “zorte” Zagodyrenko following the tournament. Artem “ArtFr0st” Kharitonov is BetBoom Team’s fifth player at Fissure Playground, who joins on loan from AMKAL Esports, who has him on loan from Parivision. Though ArtFr0st is talented, it’s unlikely that he will walk in and transform BetBoom in any significant way. Temporary players can step up to make the most of their opportunity, as seen with Aleksander “hades” Miśkiewicz, but even then it’s unclear whether that would translate to a win over a full-strength Complexity Gaming.

Pistol round stats only include matches played in 2025 against top-50-ranked teams, per HLTV. All other stats include all matches played by both teams in 2025.
Complexity Gaming and BetBoom Team haven’t played against each other recently. They played once in 2023 and once in 2024. In the time since their 2024 showdown, the majority of BetBoom’s roster has been swapped out, so the head-to-head history doesn’t offer much insight into how these teams match up in 2025.
Complexity flopped in the Austin Major with a 1-3 record, which was preceded by a quick elimination from IEM Melbourne:
BetBoom looked strong in the first group stage of the BLAST Austin Major, but suffered a swift 0-3 elimination in stage two:

The GG.BET live odds and other sportsbooks are under the impression that this match is close to a coinflip. Though Complexity is very capable of giving up matches to teams it’s ranked above, BetBoom hasn’t pulled off radical upsets in a long while even with a full roster.
Our pick: Complexity Gaming as the match winner at 2-0 at 3.23 odds at GG.BET
