compLexity got Wings eliminated, 1:0, in the first round of the Manila Major Lower Brackets. After placing second to last in their group during the tournament’s groupstage, Wings are the first team to be knocked out of contention in the main event. The Chinese team will walk away with $30,000. compLexity will face Team Liquid in the second round of the Lower Brackets, tomorrow, at 16:40, local time.
compLexity Gaming started off on the wrong foot at the Manila Major. They didn’t take a single win during the group stage, ended up placing last in their group and locked into the main event’s Lower Brackets.
The North-American team came back strong when it mattered the most and managed to push forward into the Manila Major Lower Brackets, after sending Wings Gaming home from the very first day.
compLexity seemed to have started the game against Wings on the back foot. They managed a turnaround at minute 26 of the game, when they team-wiped Wings, and built up on their momentum to close the game only 6 minutes later. Limmp and ZfreeK have stood out with beautifully executed plays.
