Virtus.pro kick off Group F of ELEAGUE with two convincing wins over compLexity (16-7 on Overpass and 16-11 on Cobblestone).

The sixth week of ELEAGUE kicked off with a true David and Goliath match-up as top ten team Virtus.pro squared off against the offline untested and unproven Complexity lineup.

The Poles kicked off Overpass on their T-side and with both Wiktor "⁠TaZ⁠" Wojtas and Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski picking up two frags apiece on the first pistolround, VP were soon off to a roaring start.

Snax was in fine form on both maps for VP

With Snax back in a fine form in terms getting entry frags and round-crushing multikills, Virtus.pro generally proceeded uncontested in the first half and ended it with a domineering 14-1 score.

The second half saw compLexity finally awaken from their thrashing as Bradley "⁠ANDROID⁠" Fodor and Shawn "⁠witmer⁠" Taylor both picked up double kills while attacking on the pistolround. Ultimately however, all VP required was two rounds to close out the map and patient defending rewarded Filip "⁠NEO⁠" Kubski & co. as they closed out the first map 16-7.

With Cobblestone being the second map, Virtus.pro quickly claimed the first pistolround as Jarosław "⁠pashaBiceps⁠" Jarząbkowski picked up two USP kills for his team and compLexity were unable to plant the bomb. A risky decision from the Canadian-British-American team to force buy on the next round however paid its dividends with Kia "⁠Surreal⁠" Man snagging two TEC-9 kills and compLexity managed to equalise the score.

Virtus.pro successfully defended on the fifth round but compLexity continued buying and a double entry from Rory "⁠dephh⁠" Jackson gave compLexity another round and the North American team went ahead to a 6-2 score on their T-side.

sancz's one-versus-two clutch on Cobblestone almost gave coL the momentum advantage 

However, VP began to claw their way back in characteristic fashion, with the likes of NEO pulling off a triple kill spray while defending drop, and the first half score ultimately finished with a narrow 8-7 lead for compLexity.

A bizarre moment in the second pistolround saw Canadian ANDROID pick up two early USP kills despite both Virtus.pro players having a drop on him and, with a secured pistolround, the North American team climbed as far as 10-7 before Virtus.pro began to fight back.

With Virtus.pro displaying confident executes and a cohesive gameplan, the Polish team continued to roll over compLexity's defenses and, despite a well-played one-versus-two from Joshua "⁠sancz⁠" Ballenger, it was Virtus.pro who marched ahead to a 16-11 win on Cobblestone.
