dephh: "We proved we can't just play Inferno, we have other maps up our sleeves"

We talked to Rory "⁠dephh⁠" Jackson following Complexity's surprising run to the playoffs at the FACEIT Major, where they went 3-0 in the New Legends stage.

Complexity became the first playoffs team at the FACEIT Major after going 3-0 in the Swiss format, defeating fnatic 16-4 on Inferno, G2 16-11 on Cache, and BIG 16-8 on Nuke.

After their latest match, we talked to dephh about their run and especially their encounter with BIG. The first British player to make Major playoffs also touched on Complexity's map pool given that they played Inferno in their first five matches over the first two stages:
