Slemmy joins compLexity on trial

29-3-2017 11:37

To try and stop the downward trend the team has been on, compLexity have acquired the services of Slemmy from Selfless—who will be joining the squad on a trial basis.

Complexity hasn't been impressing the CS world for some time now, finishing just above the relegation zone in the last season of ESL Pro League and failing to make an impact at the LAN events they attended.

After a 13-16th finish at DreamHack Masters Las Vegas, Michael "⁠Uber⁠" Stapells departed from the team and Complexity opted to use Jason "⁠jasonR⁠" Ruchelski as a stand-in in the meantime.

With jasonR, the team failed to qualify for ECS Season 3, losing 3-0 to Bee's Money Crew, and were also unable to make a mark in the DreamHack Austin qualifiers using their coach Matt "⁠Warden⁠" Dickens.

Slemmy represented Selfless at WESG 2016

Complexity have now announced that they will be adding Alec "⁠Slemmy⁠" White from Selfless on a trial basis, "hoping his leadership can right the ship".

Slemmy made a name for himself while playing for Cloud9, where he was able to add to the team's tactical depth and improve their Terrorist sides, but was ultimately replaced by Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta and Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip took over the in-game leader role.

Complexity are now:

Rory "⁠dephh⁠" Jackson
Kia "⁠Surreal⁠" Man
Derek "⁠desi⁠" Branchen
Bradley "⁠ANDROID⁠" Fodor
Alec "⁠Slemmy⁠" White (trial)

He actually wasn't terrible in c9 problem was his system didn't suit any of the players there.

legend

cool story

Article a bit unclear. He was replaced in the team by Auti, at which point Stewie took over IGLing.

2017-03-29 11:49

Agreed - it makes it somewhat confusing, making it seem like Stewie took Slemdawg's spot when Stew was already on the team during Slemmy's tenure.

2017-03-29 14:01

I won't say anything negative until I see him play with the guys, but I also don't expect much.

2017-03-29 13:45

and after watching their first games together, it seems a little better than before.

2017-03-29 14:26

Slemmy is just downgrading himself team wise so eventually he will be in "gammaboiz360"

2017-03-29 14:27

Try!

2017-03-29 15:59

2017-03-29 17:02

Good luck I guess. coL seems to be going nowhere tho.

2017-03-29 17:58

hopefully Slemmy turn compLexity around in time for the major qualifiers. I'd love to see more compLexity stickers and a chance for compLexity to represent NA CS if they show great firepower.
