This nail-biting encounter not only marked Complexity’s entry into the Major but also served as a poignant narrative for Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski, who delivered a stellar performance against his former team, Liquid.
EliGE’s exceptional display underscored his continual improvement in Counter-Strike 2, as he propelled Complexity past Liquid, a team boasting significant offseason acquisitions in Casper “cadiaN” M?ller and Russel “Twistzz” Van Dulken.
Despite Liquid’s aspirations and roster enhancements, Complexity’s strategic prowess and map dominance, particularly on Anubis and Overpass, proved decisive.
Liquid’s defeat, while disappointing, can partly be attributed to their faltering performance and shallow map pool, which allowed Complexity to capitalize on their strengths.
Despite a valiant effort from Liquid, including cadiaN’s remarkable AWP ace on Inferno, Complexity’s cohesion and resilience secured them the coveted Major berth.
Meanwhile, paiN Gaming, the third Brazilian team to qualify, showcased their dominance in a convincing 2-0 (13-3, 13-7) victory over ODDIK.

Led by Rodrigo “biguzera” Bittencourt’s strategic guidance and the team’s unwavering confidence, paiN’s flawless performance on Inferno and Vertigo demonstrated their readiness for the Major stage.
Legacy, led by Marcelo “coldzera” David, clinched their Major spot with a hard-fought 2-1 (6-13, 16-12, 13-8) series victory against M80.

Their journey to the Major marked a significant comeback for seasoned star AWPer Henrique “HEN1” Teles, who had not participated in a Valve-sponsored event since Krakow 2017 with Immortals, where they secured a second-place finish.
HEN1’s career has seen ups and downs, including a peak in 2020 with FURIA and subsequent challenges in maintaining tier-one status, but he returned with an impressive 1.62 rating to lead Imperial’s charge into the PGL Major Copenhagen.
Imperial showcased their dominance right from the start, swiftly punishing paiN’s decision to allow them to choose Mirage as the opening map.
Led by HEN1 and supported by standout performances from Jo?o “felps” Vasconcellos and emerging talents like Kaiky “noway” Santos and Lucas “decenty” Bacelar, Imperial secured an 8-1 lead and eventually closed out Mirage convincingly.
Nuke, paiN’s pick, also proved to be a stronghold for Imperial, as they surged to a commanding 9-1 lead with HEN1 delivering standout performances once again.
Elsewhere, FURIA secured their seventh consecutive Major appearance by defeating Complexity 2-1 (13-10, 13-16, 13-7).
Led by Kaike “KSCERATO” Cerato’s stellar performance, FURIA demonstrated resilience and stability throughout their matches.

Despite facing initial seeding challenges, Complexity put up a fight, particularly with standout plays from H?kon “hallzerk” Fj?rli and Jonathan “EliGE” Jablonowski, ultimately securing a hard-fought victory on Vertigo.
