Team Falcons vs Complexity Gaming: PGL Bucharest betting guide

Steven Rondina Published 01/04/2025

Complexity Gaming is still out in Europe, grinding its way through prominent tournaments, but bettors are wondering if it can get a victory over Team Falcons in PGL Bucharest.

2024 was actually one of the better years in Complexity’s long history in Counter-Strike. The team qualified for both majors, IEM Katowice, ESL Cologne, and even got some results in other events. 2025, though, isn’t off to a great start.

Complexity has been appearing in some prominent events in 2025 but the results haven’t been strong so far. So with the team staring down Team Falcons in PGL Bucharest, how are things going to go?

Team Falcons vs Complexity Gaming match overview

On April 6, 2025, Team Falcons and Complexity Gaming will play in the group stage of PGL Bucharest 2025. The event uses the “CS Swiss” format for its group stage where teams need to win three out of five matches to advance. This will be either team’s first in the event, so they will need to play at least two more sets to decide their fate. All matches in the group stage are best-of-threes.

Team Falcons vs Complexity Gaming in-depth team analysis

Team Falcons roster and recent results

Team Falcons looked poised for a coming-out party after a second-place run in PGL Cluj-Napoca, but things haven’t gone to plan since. The team finished top-11 in ESL Pro League Season 21 with a 1-3 group stage run. This was followed by another group stage elimination in BLAST Open Spring.

It remains to be seen whether Team Falcons’ roster is a top-10 squad waiting to happen, or whether it’ll be the organization’s latest “team that is always just kind of there” project:

Emil “Magisk” Reif
Nikola “NiKo” Kovač
René “TeSeS” Madsen
Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski
Abdulkhalik “degster” Gasanov

Team Falcons map pool

The current Falcons roster has been particularly strong on Mirage so far, going 6-2 on the map. It’s also 8-6 on Dust. It has an even or losing record elsewhere, however. Worth noting is that Team Falcons has taken to instantly banning Anubis.

Complexity Gaming has competed in a few prominent events, but hasn’t been able to muster up a strong showing in any of them. The team was among the first eliminations at IEM Katowice 2025, and went 1-3 in the group stage of PGL Cluj-Napoca.
