Surreal joins compLexity on trial

6-4-2016 00:49

Kia "Surreal" Man has agreed to join compLexity on a trial basis, nerdRage have announced via their website.

The 19-year-old, who burst onto the competitive scene in teams like Reason Gaming and CeX, has been given the chance to further his career in the United States, where he will play alongside compatriot Rory "⁠dephh⁠" Jackson.

He joins compLexity just days after linking up with nerdRage, who made a splash in the UK Counter-Strike scene by signing Infused's roster, formerly known as Team BEASTS.

roca's coL add another UK import

coL have yet to comment on the addition of Kia "⁠Surreal⁠" Man, which leaves their roster with six players. The North American team also have another player on trial, Shawn "⁠witmer⁠" Taylor, who was brought in after Danny "⁠fRoD⁠" Montaner stepped down from the active lineup.

With Surreal's arrival, compLexity's roster currently looks as:

Daniel "⁠roca⁠" Gustaferri
Joshua "⁠sancz⁠" Ballenger
Rory "⁠dephh⁠" Jackson
Josh "⁠shinobi⁠" Abastado
Shawn "⁠witmer⁠" Taylor (tryout)
Kia "⁠Surreal⁠" Man (tryout)

Danny "⁠fRoD⁠" Montaner (backup)
Matt "⁠Warden⁠" Dickens (coach)

Sad to be leaving @NerdRage_pro, wish you guys all the best in the future xoxo @NeiL_Mcs @neilzinhoCSGO @Whindanski @somftw @CRUC1ALcsgo

Being the best player in a vastly underperforming team doesn't really say anything. Freak's still a shitter, he'd be aight in a tier 2 team yet still nothing sensational

Well it's not like people from the U.S. say "America" and mean NA and SA.

2016-04-08 13:17

Well, he was at least better than them dumb burgers calling Europe a country.

For fucks sake NA, stop taking our UK players when our scene struggles as it is.

Taking them might actually get them somewhere out of their vicious UK shitter circle

ROCA DIDNT LEAVE? FAIL

They still blow who cares

didnt surreal just play at insomnia 57?

I think he did

Yes, in a mix, and he won it. (Making it the third UK LAN in a row he's won).

2016-04-06 01:03

with robiin against that polish team with NEEX and SOON i think; not bad

2016-04-06 01:22

Kia Man? Kid should be selling cars instead of playing CS.

I rarely laughs at comments, but this time I did!

2016-04-06 00:55

its funny how you say that, yet a US org is looking for new players and instead of taking US talent, they take UK, why is that my friend? UK > US

2016-04-06 15:21

yeah a completely shit NA team, stop being arrogant and just accept the fact that UK CS is not existent and also last major 2 NA teams made it to quarter finals and a team that plays in the NA league won it all

2016-04-07 01:51

lol mad, clear your tears up and notice the UK scene will be back in power. Cry more pussy trump supporter.

roca isn't playing for coL anymore.

wtf surreal and dephh need to come back and create a UK superteam (with CRUC1AL ofc)

2016-04-06 00:53

14 replies

All UK superteams are the same few players who have "Potential" but then implode about 2 months after forming.

2016-04-06 00:54

Nope the UK superteams always included players like rattlesnake, weber, hughsy etc... It's time for new blood

All these new blood teams have folded within a month too but yeah you're probably right

2016-04-06 01:21

I remember when you were like 15-16, played for mtw.css, that was many years ago... you were so talented. So sad that you and alot of great source players couldn't transition well to cs go

2016-04-06 01:24

Nothing about transitioning really. I've played the game throughout its course and consistently won and had the most achievements in the UK scene, unfortunately it means nothing because the scene gets no exposure or means anything to anyone. I play better CS now than I did back in mTw, you just don't see it because no team I've played in is really comparable to that (bar Anexis, where we had good results/stats)

2016-04-06 02:19

It must suck being so skilled yet floundering for recognition. Some one as skilled as you in the US would be at the top level right now (not saying you arent just that cant really do anything with it)

2016-04-06 03:41

Just one of those things :p

2016-04-06 04:15

Move to an NA team? For me you were always a tier2 rifler wasting your time with bad up and coming players and washed out oldschool players. Why can't UK just pick the right newblood (etc JT, spudz, whindaski) and kick the oldblood that sucks, etc RattleSNK.

2016-04-06 06:57

back in css I was going to move to US and play with sunman old team which not many people new about - play.esea.net/index.php?s=news&d=comment.. I love you to bits brandon, but it sounds like a bit of hate or annoyance you've not been picked up. The best thing to do (don't know if you have) is start talking to US guys and playing with them a lot, I was playing with the guys for weeks late night as I was going to be working in NYC so wanted to join a team. You and Sam should be chatting with some US teams, there will be plenty of opportunity for you to play and move out there you just need to make it happen and chat to people. Not bumlicking but definitely you and sam deserve to be in a top team as you're the only two experienced guys left, just don't think it will come to you on a plate anymore you gotta work for it - deph and surreal probably been chatting and mixing with them a lot, its just contacts and who you know - not just about cs but working / personal life is the same, most people are hired from who they know. They'll be team switches happening soon so just start playing with them and talking to them now! Own it in the US or Europe brotherrr

2016-04-06 19:46

I'm not annoyed about this or him getting picked up. I'm more annoyed about the fact people claim these are the best players that the UK has to offer, which is far from the truth. I've been close to playing with 2 American teams but they both fell through which just happens and I can safely say I'd never join a team like this. I'll just wait it out and if a team comes calling I'll happily trial for them to see if they like what they see, if not then that's that.. not much else I can do. Also to touch on the Sam bit I don't think he wants to move abroad to play the last time I spoke to him about it all

2016-04-06 19:56

Hmm. Do I support liquid, a good NA team... Or CoL who are 1/3 British... Eh, UK is shit anyway LIQUID IS THE BEST!1!!!!1! Nokeepo.

how is 2/5 = 1/3?

2016-04-06 06:41

apperantly theres 6 people in the roster.Thats why he said 1/3 i guess

2016-04-06 10:36

UK math

2016-04-06 07:56

6 player roster, 2 are UK = 1/3 gj Allu

Sad but true

2016-04-06 01:20

what is shooting hard??

2016-04-06 18:45

What do you think? Is it that hard to understand what he meant? Bad reading comprehension = why uk suck?

2016-04-07 18:55

i shoot you hard, makes you sense

2016-04-07 18:56

In a couple months the UK will finally have a scene but in America ayyyyyy

compLexity is about to experience the HellRaisers effect

2016-04-06 01:05

Surreal is actually one of the UK players who is really sick. Could be a decent pickup.

2016-04-06 01:07

Roca's stream doesn't have coL adds any more, it could be possible he might be leaving

Roca is the central player on CoL. They're who they're building the team around. I really can't imagine the org has shifted and will let him go.

$$$$

2016-04-06 01:23

@mods, roca is the one departing. Hazed > NRG. Roca > CLG. Afaik, although its possible it could just be Roca > NRG for Legija.

2016-04-07 09:00

he's an old AVA player like Koosta and Skadoodle. Was 3rd best sniper In the game back in the game's prime. Ska was the best sniper in the game in it's prime. Surreal switched to csgo a couple years back and he's pretty good i'd say.
