Natus Vincere will start off their EPL S15 campaign and Group D against their polish opponent AGO. So will Evil Geniuses against Astralis to wrap up Day 1 of Group D which follows the newly revamped Complexity side take on Heroic.
This group indeed is deemed as the perfect stack with heavyweights from across Europe and North America to have been drawn in together towards the final three spots at the playoffs.
Group D takeaways
Before Natus Vincere go head to head with AGO, a last-minute roster change was flagged by the Ukraine-based squad as Kirill “Boombl4” Mikhailov tested positive for COVID-19 and would be replaced by Na’Vi Junior member Daniil “headtr1ck” Valitov who was earlier listed as a backup for the ongoing tournament.
It’s indeed a fresh start for Evil Geniuses who shuffled their entire roster post their elimination from the group stage of the PGL Stockholm Major 2021 which forced them back to the drawing board and sign William “RUSH” Wierzba, Timothy “autimatic” Ta, and Jacky “Stewie2k” Yip.
Their recent outings may not have been top-notch but we can expect a show around from the Seattle-based organization in Germany as they lock horns with Astralis in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Johnny “JT” Theodosiou led Complexity headline Group D as the top favorites from North America, having most recently topped the PGL Antwerp Major 2022 Closed Qualifier over Team Liquid.
They enter the Pro League as a Permanent partner team and have a lot to serve on the table with their fixture against Heroic coming up for their opener.
