Starting tomorrow, CompLexity Brazil will take on 5 (out of 12) of the worlds best Counter-Strike 1.6 teams as Group A of the Intel Extreme Masters 5 World Championship kicks off in Hannover, Germany.
Group B has already completed, with SK-Gaming, Na`Vi and Fnatic moving on to the bracket stage that will be held on Thursday, March 3rd. With their first place finish in Group B, SK has secured themselves a spot in the semi-finals of the event.
CompLexity comes into this event fresh off their European Bootcamp for 2011 in Berlin, Germany where they trained day in and day out at the Icy-Box e-Sports Center. Having not played in a major event in months, coL.br will be looking to shake off the rust early to ensure that they are at the top of their game, as one slip up could mean the difference in securing a playoff birth or dropping out of contention all together.
The matches are set to begin at 3:10AM EST, with coL taking on UMX.
