compLexity add dephh & shinobi

6-2-2016 00:44

compLexity have disclosed that Rory "dephh" Jackson from the United Kingdom and Josh "shinobi" Abastado, formerly a member of Denial, have joined coL.

Before the end of 2015, it was revealed that Kory "⁠SEMPHIS⁠" Friesen and Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta were not going to be a part of coL in the upcoming year. These two players were sold to TSM and they formed a new lineup which consists of players from Canada and the USA.

Hunter "⁠SicK⁠" Mims and Ronnie "⁠ryx⁠" Bylicki were operating as stand-ins for coL but SicK joined the new TSM lineup and ryx did not end up becoming a permanent member of the roster. The lack of a stable five-man squad forced the team to withdraw from the MLG Americas Minor, passing up on their chance to earn a ticket to the MLG Colombus qualifier.

fRoD will play a pivotal role in this new lineup

The management decided to bring in 24-year-old Rory "⁠dephh⁠" Jackson from the United Kingdom in a suprising move, as dephh has only competed at local LANs and never at a big tournament.

Josh "⁠shinobi⁠" Abastado, the second addition, completes the lineup. He formerly played for teams such as Denial and Mortality. Like dephh, shinobi is also unproven as he has never participated at a big LAN event.

Danny "⁠fRoD⁠" Montaner, the 1.6 legend, has recently returned to the professional CS scene and his experience will be crucial to his teammates' development as they will aim to live up to the organization's reputation.

coL's new roster is:

Daniel "⁠roca⁠" Gustaferri
Danny "⁠fRoD⁠" Montaner
Joshua "⁠sancz⁠" Ballenger
Josh "⁠shinobi⁠" Abastado
Rory "⁠dephh⁠" Jackson

Matt "⁠Warden⁠" Dickens (Coach)

dephh's former team (CAZ) announced that they will be trialling with various players to replace him.

We'd like to officially welcome @dephh_csgo and @shinobi_cs to the #coLcs roster! https://t.co/WT7LNAc8Wm pic.twitter.com/t2zYxFzBap

pretty sure everyone and their mother knew. but it's best practice to wait on the org acquiring to announce

Yeah dw dude you did the right thing.

2016-02-06 05:35

2016-02-08 10:53

they announced dephh was going on a trial basis. nothing more, only to see if he was a good fit, as for shinobi they didnt say anything

2016-02-06 01:32

Wasn't officially announced. It was "reported" but UKCSGO signaled that it was still "rumour" at the time. As stich said, org officially confirmed it last night.

2016-02-06 09:52

officially announced 10 minutes ago but you knew it since a very long time judging by the news id

UK Scene? Ayyyy

bit late lmao

shinobi so fckin bad

You know nothing PrTz1 Snow

2016-02-06 01:15

fRod and roca are going to be a lethal combination. I have doubts about the other three. As long as sancs, shinobi and dephh gets consistent I think this team has a lot of potential.

2016-02-06 00:54

my eyes hurt everytime I see roca on this lineup

not even the best uk player col must be desperate bringing frod out of retirement and looking in the uk/esea stats for players

who r these

I can't cheer for this lineup. I just can't. It's pathetic for the legendary coL organization.

2016-02-06 06:29

If you know anything about coL.cs it's about young talent sticking together and rising to the top. They will need time.. If they last :P

2016-02-06 09:14

shoulda got surreal if they're giving the uk a go, he at least carried his team to a lan win and he has the same high rws(lol) if they were after a pug star seems pretty sad that they didn't let roca join another team and wanted to build around him with a team that looks so bad on paper

Did you watch iseries at all he didn't carry us jesus fuck people really needed to watch our games that lan ......

2016-02-06 08:21

He carries pugs though so that's he same right?!

2016-02-06 09:16

that am why he left u noobs after carry.

2016-02-06 13:33

well they seem to have a pretty good lineup but SicK and ryx left without giving it a chance

2016-02-06 13:09

whaaaaaaaaaaaattttt dephh from UK? go dephh!

2016-02-06 07:46

lol frod being out of the scene for like 6+ years is gonna play a "pivotal" role, aka the rest of the team cant win a game without being carried

2016-02-06 09:07

finally announced ^^ gl dephh

2016-02-06 09:12

dephh is really nuts. idk about shinobi and frod... shinobi was decent in premier last season, but frod, i dont think he can be back at his level unless he dedicates himself for months
