Complexity will take on MiBR in their first series for the 2022 BLAST Premier Spring Showdown, with both teams coming into this series with similar world rankings. Complexity is 22nd in the world whilst MiBR is 24th in the ESL world rankings.

Complexity will enter this event winning three of their last four series after they finished second in the IEM Dallas 2022 North America Closed Qualifier losing only one series to Team Liquid 2-0 in the upper final. The American-based organisation are slowly starting to improve together as a roster after they re-vamped their whole roster at the start of 2022. With this continued improvement, we will definitely see a better Complexity at this event compared to their 17th-20th place finish at ESL Pro League 15.

MiBR will come into this event as the roster in the best form. MiBR have won 26 of their last 29 series over the last 2 months. All of these wins came from events that include; IEM Dallas 2022 South America Closed Qualifier (2nd), PGL Antwerp 2022 Americas RMR (2nd) and ESL Challenger League Season 40 NA (1st). The Brazilians are the number two ranked team that is from South America with only FURIA being above them in the world rankings.

The bookmakers cannot split these two teams with both of them currently sitting at -120.48 with BetOnline. We believe that the total maps market is the way to play here. We suggest taking the over 2.5 maps in the total maps market, sitting at -120.48 with BetOnline.

Team Liquid will enter the event as the second highest ranked team with a ranking of 13 in the world, where as paiN Gaming will begin the event as the 34th ranked team in the ESL world rankings.

Team Liquid are on a six game win streak currently after they finished the PGL Major Antwerp 2022 Americas RMR with three wins in a row and they then went undefeated in three series in the IEM Dallas 2022 North America Closed Qualifier. Since adding John “oSee” Ohm, Richard “shox” Papillon and Nick “nitr0’ Cannella, Team Liquid have looked like a much improved team during throughout their last two events. If Team Liquid keep improving the way they have been, there is no reason to believe that Team Liquid can’t win the 2022 NA BLAST Spring Showdown.

paiN Gaming made their way into this event through the Ace North American Masters Spring 2022 (BLAST Premier) Qualifier where they went undefeated and won the event. As for their chance at this event though, paiN Gaming will struggle against a team like Team Liquid, as last time they faced each other Team Liquid won 16-1 in a best-of-one series two weeks ago.

Team Liquid should be winning this series and it should be a quick, dominant win to the heavy favourites. We will be taking the favourites at the rounds line of -12.5, currently at $2 with Bet365.

The NA edition of Spring showdown does not have the quality of the European edition, and that definitely shows in the tournament outright win betting markets with BetOnline. There are only two teams sitting under +900, being FURIA (+110) and Team Liquid (+175). Considering FURIA and Team Liquid are the only teams in this competition that are in the top 20 of the world rankings, highlights the lack of depth this event has on display. We at www.creditreportcompare.com are siding with the second favourite, Team Liquid, to take out the BLAST Premier NA Spring Showdown.

Team Liquid will enter this event with a world ranking of 13, climbing up from 59 back in February. The rise in their world ranking comes off the back of some very good performances in the ESL Pro League 15 (5th-8th) and the NA closed qualifier for IEM Dallas 2022 (1st). These performances are a direct result of the organisation going out and adding three new players to their roster. Team Liquid added both Josh “oSee” Ohm and Richard “shox” Papillon to the roster in January of this year, then they welcomed back an old face, Nick “nitr0” Cannella, who came back to CS:GO after a stint in the pro Valorant scene.

For Team Liquid to win this event they will have to beat paiN Gaming in their first best-of-three series, where Liquid own a 16-1 win on the April 12 in a best-of-one match. They will then face the winner of the Complexity vs MiBR BO3 series; Liquid lost 2-0 in their last BO3 against Complexity, but they have not played MiBR in the last six months. There is an expectation that Team Liquid will meet FURIA in the final on May 1, but we all know that not everything goes to plan in the CS:GO esports world. Team Liquid are currently on a six-game win streak and will be looking to extend that to nine games by winning the 2022 BLAST Premier NA Spring Showdown.
