Meanwhile, some of the best teams in the world, such as NAVI and Team Vitality, got kicked out during the first few days of the competition in close matches littered with aces and upsets.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d50c51f0c1b\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>FaZe Clan walked out of Sydney victorious, but not without a fight from Complexity. On the third map of the BO3 final, it looked like FaZe Clan would secure an easy win going into the second half. Nonetheless, Complexity managed to fight its way back to overtime, making it a thrillingly close final where odds for a Complexity win went from 40 times the money to a fairly even state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d50c51f138c\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>An incredible number of aces were lined with awkward interactions with in-game bugs, giving viewers the feeling that anything could happen.

Clear metas or trends are yet to be formed, making predicting player and team performance and strategy hard. It becomes especially cumbersome for teams, which can\u2019t watch replays to plan counters for opposing strategies or gauge the competition effectively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d50c5200644\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>With these changes, underdog teams such as Complexity had a real chance of beating Counter-Strike titans such as NAVI or Team Vitality, as all players tried to adjust to the game.

As a result, the upcoming months will likely be a time of feedback where teams, players and tournament organisers battle-test the game and share thoughts with the game\u2019s developer Valve Corporation to ensure its viability for the 2024 Major in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-heading-67d50c520156a\" class=\"esi-heading \">\n  \n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"trading_counter-strike_2_successfully_a_combination_of_esports_experience_and_real-time_data\">Trading Counter-Strike 2 successfully: A combination of esports experience and real-time data<\/span><\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"esi-paragraph-67d50c5201ce4\" class=\"esi-paragraph \">\n    \n<p>Counter-Strike is currently experiencing a seismic shift, which heavily impacts player and team performance.
