Complexity vs FaZe Clan: PGL Bucharest finals day betting guide
PGL Bucharest’s Counter-Strike tournaments have a built-in third-place decider match and FaZe Clan will take on Complexity Gaming to determine who gets the proverbial bronze medal.
While PGL tournaments are often fun, Bucharest has been downright dramatic. That’s actually built over time, too. Case and point? The two matchups on finals day.
G2 Esports and Team Falcons will face off in the finals after reports of the former’s roster being poached yet again. In the third-place decider, Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski will take on his former team. Here’s a full betting breakdown of this match.

FaZe Clan vs Complexity Gaming recent form, rosters, and best maps
FaZe Clan roster and recent results
FaZe Clan’s run in PGL Bucharest is eerily similar to the team’s run in PGL Cluj-Napoca. FaZe had a bit more trouble advancing out of the group stage, but advanced to the playoffs by beating Apogee Esports, Pain Gaming, and Rare Atom.
In the playoffs, the team started by buzzsawing an overachiever at the event; this time beating 3DMAX. Then it came up against a surprisingly strong Team Falcons in the semifinals and was dealt a surprise loss. The FaZe Clan roster stands as follows:
- Håvard “rain” Nygaard
- Helvijs “broky” Saukants
- Finn “karrigan” Andersen
- David “frozen” Čerňanský
- Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski
FaZe Clan map pool
FaZe Clan’s preferred map in 2025 has been Ancient. It has actively looked to play there and has won a strong 69% of its matches there so far. On every other map, the team has gone just about 50-50.
Complexity Gaming roster and recent results
Complexity Gaming has had a surprisingly strong showing in PGL Bucharest, despite underwhelming throughout 2025. The team started the event by beating now-finalists Team Falcons and got into the playoffs with wins over Furia and FaZe Clan.
It drew Aurora Gaming for the semifinals, arguably the strongest team in the whole event, but pulled off a wild 2-1 upset. Unfortunately for Complexity, it fell short of the finals after taking a loss to G2 Esports. The Complexity Gaming roster includes these players:
- Ioannis “JT” Theodosiou
- Michael “Grim” Wince
- Håkon “hallzerk” Fjærli
- Danny “Cxzi” Strzelczyk
- Nicholas “nicx” Lee
Complexity Gaming map pool
Complexity Gaming looks to play on Anubis and Train, and it has proven itself able to take on the best in the world on those two maps. The team has been struggling on Dust 2 in 2025, though. It also regularly bans Mirage.

FaZe Clan vs Complexity Gaming best betting picks and predictions
Core picks
- FaZe Clan wins (1.65)
- Complexity Gaming may have had a strong run in PGL Bucharest and it may have beaten FaZe Clan, but a 1.65 on FaZe winning is objectively quite a value
- Complexity wins 2-0 (4.1)
- All that said, it’s pretty hard to bet against Complexity at this point! The team won 2-0 against FaZe earlier in the tournament and a 4.1 line is pretty juicy considering that
Prediction
FaZe Clan should be able to defeat Complexity Gaming in the PGL Bucharest third-place decider match. The trouble here is the simple fact that Complexity has been able to exceed expectations at each step along the way in this tournament.
