G2 Esports vs Complexity Gaming betting picks & predictions
Core picks
- G2 Esports wins (1.33)
- Complexity’s 2-0 start can be partly brushed off as a Falcons collapse
- G2 Esports wins 2-1 (3.2)
- A 2-1 win for G2 is one of the more probable outcomes to this match, making a 3.2 line on it a solid value
Prediction
G2 Esports should be able to take the win over Complexity Gaming. Complexity beating Furia isn’t a great shock and while Complexity’s win over Falcons was, Falcons losing to Apogee Esports in round two suggests that Falcons is on a skid more than Complexity is on an upswing. Until Complexity has a bigger body of work, bettors shouldn’t be wagering on them to beat top-10 teams.
