Cloud9, once considered a fading contender with a struggling roster, defied expectations during the tournament. They navigated through their bracket with remarkable ease, only dropping a single map to the formidable G2 squad while dominating all other opponents. Their recent decision to part ways with beleaguered in-game leader nafany and shifting H0bbit to a crucial role seemed to rejuvenate the team.

This strategic change allowed world-class rifler “electroNic” to return to his peak performance, showcasing a remarkable 1.19 HLTV rating. The standout player of the tournament, however, was sh1ro, boasting an impressive 1.30 HLTV rating, leading Cloud9 to their victory.

Meanwhile, Complexity, a team that had recently undergone significant changes, secured their place in the finals with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Evil Geniuses, where victory was determined by a mere four rounds. Their matchup against FURIA proved to be a nail-biter, with Complexity narrowly winning both maps 16-14, despite losing Overpass 16-7 to the Brazilian team. In a remarkable twist, EliGE, the newest addition to Complexity, faced off against his former team, Team Liquid, for the first time in eight years. Complexity displayed exceptional dominance, crushing a struggling Liquid 16-4 on Overpass and continuing their impressive form with a commanding 16-2 win on Inferno.

Both Cloud9 and Complexity secured their spots in the BLAST Fall Finals, serving as a valuable warm-up for the highly anticipated CS2 Major in the coming year. These two teams will join an elite group including Team Vitality, Heroic, NAVI, FaZe Clan, Astralis, and Ninjas in Pyjamas when the BLAST Fall Finals commence later in 2023. The triumphs of Cloud9 and Complexity in the BLAST Fall Showdown mark a resurgence for these blue-clad teams and set the stage for an exciting future in the world of Counter-Strike.
