The Fissure Playground champion continued the journey to compete in the second round after a choking victory.

Tyloo avoided being eliminated after a series of tension

Typo continued to participate in the second round of IEM Cologne 2025-phase 1, after winning 2-1 against Complexity in a series of extremely stressful life and death.

This is a disappointing end for the North American team, especially after they reached the Fissure Playground quarter -finals just a week earlier. Johnny's army "⁠jt⁠" Theodosiou will definitely regret when dropping the victory despite led 10-5 on the Map deciding Ancient. Håkon "⁠hallzerk⁠" Fjærli admitted that his team "had difficulty confronting Full Buy."

"We don't know how to end the round," the Norway Awper shared.
"We need to practice more. We have to take advantage of all opportunities, because we don't have many tournaments ahead. Ranking is gradually falling, so any opportunity must be grasped."

Complexity chooses Overpass, perhaps to exploit Typo's weaknesses on this map after the defeat against Virtus.pro the day before.

Although Tyloo won both Round Pistol and created a six -way gap, they had trouble in the Round guns. Complexity takes advantage of that and ends the map in the final round of the official time, thanks to an effective Early Aggression phase to create a 5V3 advantage.

Sang Inferno, Typo played as a transformation when leading 7-1 on T. Complexity and then countered, narrowing the gap to two rounds, but Typo set up a firm defense system when he had money and won 5 rounds to close the map.

Ancient is the decisive map, where Complexity controls the first half, leading 7-5 parts of the CT, with Hallzerk and Nick "⁠nicx⁠" Lee recorded 25 frags together.

The North American team brought that form to the second half and quickly reached 10 round. But the match changed completely when Tyloo had enough money to buy guns. They maintain their spirit, only lost one round in the rest of the rest to turn the flag, continue hoping to continue and eliminate Complexity from the tournament.
