coL release swag

compLexity Gaming have released Braxton "swag" Pierce from the squad, while Ryan "fREAKAZOiD" Abadir has been added as a temporary replacement.

compLexity Gaming have released information on their website stating that Braxton "swag" Pierce is no longer a member of their squad with no further explanation.

After coming home from a relatively successful campaign at EMS One Katowice where they finished in 5th-8th place following a 2-1 loss to NiP in the quarter-final, coL have become the third participant of the Polish tournament to suffer a lineup change, following in the footsteps of their fellow countrymen iBUYPOWER, as well as mousesports.


swag is out of compLexity

17-year-old Pierce was by most accounts the main star of the team in Katowice, putting up 0.81 kills per round for a 1.13 rating, especially doing well in the map-win over NiP (30:17, 1vs4 clutch), but in a surprising turn of events he will no longer be a member of the team.

Ryan "fREAKAZOiD" Abadir, previously member of Homeless and Frost Gaming, was added to compLexity's ESEA roster and according to Spencer "Hiko" Martin's tweet he will be playing for the North American squad only as a stand-in for the time being.

coL's roster is now:

United States Spencer "Hiko" Martin
Canada Kory "semphis" Friesen
United States Jordan "n0thing" Gilbert
United States Sean "sgares" Gares
United States Ryan "fREAKAZAOiD" Abadir (stand-in)

The roster change came at the last minute as compLexity's ESEA Invite Season 16 campaign is set to start this evening with a double header against Mediocre and RELiABLE Gaming.

i dont know for sure. but as a team, why would they remove him? and on the col site someone said. "1)freakazoid is not officially our 5th. 2)it was swag's decision to no longer play with us". so i'm guessing he was pressured by his parents

It's not their decision. Seems to me swag was convinced by iBP that he was carrying coL and he should join iBP and his former teammate AZK. DaZeD talked on his stream about how much he wanted to play with swag last summer but swag just wanted to play with his friends in coL. Maybe now they have convinced him otherwise.

iBP were stronger domestically, coL is simply more experienced individually on the international level. iBP would have gotten to the same international level as coL (if not higher) with more experience. Acting like coL is far superior to iBP just shows your lack of knowledge here. It's like saying it would be a bad move to leave NiP & join Titan, both have the potential to be #1.

exactly, his parents are against him playing so much and told him to change priorities. That's unfortunately not good enough for CoL who wants to put a lot of effort in practice and matches and swag just couldn't keep up with it.

The troubles started before EMS. Swag told the team he might not even attend EMS, because his parents was against it. In the end they let him go and CoL would deal with this situation after returning home and unfortunately they couldn't find a proper solution with swag continuing in CoL. I'm using a fakeacc, but I'm almost daily in contact with top NA players, so I know few things. I promised I wouldn't tell until the news arrived. Regards.

jlake getting outbid? i will believe it when i see it. i think it is more likely swag was frustrated after carrying so hard in katowice and said some things he most likely regrets, which leads us to the current situation.

He might get outbid becaue he doesnt want to spend that much on GO keep in mind that coL only picked up this squad a few months back and in the beginning showed no interest on GO, about carrying why would he leave, coL are a better team (recent results on int. tournaments) and i watched the povs of coL all the time because they were the only team i could understand swag barely talked just when he gave info to his teammates. The only logic explanation is that he left for more money hence the tweet both AdreN leaving and iBP not have a 5th.

OR perhaps his parents wont allow him to devote so much time to a video game since he is in school (like travelling to Europe) so he has decided to quit the team. Don't forget, he is 17, everything is not in his power yet.

If freak plays a lot, I think he can be even better than swag is atm. The other side is that swag is only 17, this kid could become the best player in NA.

As usual, everyone starting to blame the organization and the rest of the team before knowing more about the situation... Besides, carrying a team doesn't mean a lot if the team doesn't achieve the results expected of them. There are still people who don't understand why VG kicked kennyS, even though he was doing huge fragging. You really have to know that most of the time, the team's decision is better than the one you would have taken, simply because you don't play in this team! Is it so hard to understand? Besides, it could very well have been Swag's choice to leave. So please shut the fuck up and wait for more informations. Thanks.

Because the arguments were the same from people talking about the situation without knowing : kennyS is carrying, he's an amazing player, an amazing awp, etc... It's not that they were wrong by saying that, it's just that they don't consider the team's point of view, and therefore don't know enough about the situation. It's the same now with Swag and coL. Indeed, let's just wait.

AZK is the most consistent player in North America and therefore probably the best overall. Hiko has ups and downs. He was probably the reason why the lost in esea finals lan this season. I also don't think he's a very good teammate, he tends to blame people a lot for his fuckups. On top of that, as a captain of coL hiko would not go to ibp, so swag,n0thing,azk,dazed and skadoodle lineup is way more realistic.

Absolutely stunning news. swag seems to be the most talented player in the US cause of his age, and I can only imagine there is other aspects than his play that forces such a decision. Even though we don't know the reason, it is safe to say that this isn't promising for coL or the US at all. Don't get me wrong, I actually am very fond of fREAKAZOIDs play, and maybe he brings more calm to the team than swag due to his age. But skill wise I don't think he is up there yet, is he? Can't wait to read a statement from coL and/or swag, this seems odd. But good luck to fREAKAZOID, maybe he can do what goodfornothing did for EG when he got in: prove me wrong.

swag is best player in NA and that is not some kind of a secret. He is the best, and being only 17 years old - that is amazing. the whole coL team was built on him and nothing. They are two key factors in their team. The others - not so much. So I think this is going to hit nothing as well. freakazoid too low IMO, compared to swag, swag is 3x times better than him

First we have to see if he will even join iBP but I don't see any reason why would he leave coL. They were #1 NA team and top5 in the world probably. So there has to be something else there... highly doubt swag would just quit gaming like that.

swag left the Team. He didn't get kicked. It wouldn't make sense for him to leave the best american Team and such a stable Organisation like coL for a Team like iBP. Hopefully they will announce the reason in the upcoming days. It's just sad since coL is such an awesome Team to watch. All five of them.

Swag is stupid, coL is a top 5 team easy. They just need to bootcamp before events and they would of been fine. Swag was there MOST consistent player. the problem with coL is n0thing. He doesn't do shit anymore compared to his 1.6 days, Hes had like 2 good matches in 15 games, If n0thing isnt top fragging this team will never win a major.

n0thing is better than Semphis. They needed to get rid of Semphis and add someone better and once Hiko and n0thing got into it then they would be unreal!

Braxton “Swag” Pierce, by most accounts the best Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player in North America, has been traded from Complexity to iBUYPOWER, a source with close knowledge of the issue confirmed to the Daily Dot. In return, Complexity will be picking up Todd “Anger” Williams from their rivals. The trade between two of the top teams in the United States has the potential to shake up the Counter-Strike landscape. Just sad... :(

ibp will be very bad now i predict. their team was gutted and now there's bad blood knowing that swag is a flighty, unstable player to have. by the time ibp is reaching the level of being able to compete with top teams, who might seduce swag or someone else with another deal?
