Complexity remove dephh; bench ShahZaM

28-10-2019 21:28

Complexity have announced that Rory "⁠dephh⁠" Jackson has been given his marching orders, while Shahzeb "⁠ShahZaM⁠" Khan has been moved to an inactive position on the roster.

The announcement marks the end of a long association between dephh and Complexity, with the British player having been recruited in February 2016 to help to fill the void left by the departures of Kory "⁠SEMPHIS⁠" Friesen and Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta.

ShahZaM was signed two years later from OpTic alongside Peter "⁠stanislaw⁠" Jarguz. During their time with the team, the duo won one Americas Minor and attended three Majors, making the playoffs at their first attempt, at the FACEIT Major.

dephh is no longer tied to Complexity

Complexity believe that the roster still needs more fine-tuning despite the recent high-profile additions of Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer and William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba. In the duo's first weeks, the team failed to qualify for Dreamhack Open Atlanta, crashed out of two ECS tournaments in the semi-finals and finished third of their ESL Pro League Americas group.

According to a recent report from 1pv.fr, the North Americans have set their sights on Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke, who is currently looking for a new team following the disbandment of the OpTic lineup.

Complexity will return to action in two weeks in the second stage of ESL Pro League Americas. They have been placed in the same group as DETONA, ATK and Envy, with only the first-placed side booking a spot at the LAN Finals, in Odense.

With these changes, Complexity now have:

Owen "⁠oBo⁠" Schlatter
Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer
William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba

Jamie "⁠keita⁠" Hall (coach)

Shahzeb "⁠ShahZaM⁠" Khan (inactive)

New roster lmao

Well, coL just benched Shah & kicked depph. Shah was obv the AWPer in coL & obv there isnt many AWPers on the market atm. So its either WARDELL, MSL (Just as AWPer) or Draken that could join for free.

i agree 10000% but he said himself when he was talking to Wardell in steam messages (leaked) that he was in talks with coL and 100T

2019-10-29 16:17

I believe you, doesn't seem like a juggernaut to me though

2019-10-29 16:18

lmao no jugg will ever exist with RUSH tbh. i will lose ALLLLL my respect for Jason if he replaces Shahz with JDM. I will accept Wardell tho.

rush 1 major who ever the fuck you want from NA 0 major

2019-10-29 21:55

2019-10-29 15:30

jdm + konfig

2019-10-28 23:09

LOL WHY ! jdm is not that good and wardell is free

2019-10-28 23:35

Wardell overrated

2019-10-29 09:20

+1 he has also burned bridges in NA. Needs to improve that as well

2019-10-29 14:44

Yeah, they're the most expected to complete the roster

2019-10-28 22:35

+Wardell soon

RIP UK CS

Alex is all the have left...

2019-10-28 21:50

2019-10-28 22:48

OOF

This was bound to happen since the CEO said he'll change the roster

2019-10-29 03:40

expected from blamef the snake

2019-10-29 08:12

POG

hopefully the coach goes too!

2019-10-28 21:29

2019-10-28 22:27

Yeah i don’t like the coach at all. Get someone like sgares

2019-10-29 09:29

Wut

ez, good move!

Finally

wait what??? KONFIG INCC

At this point just try to combine c9 and col and try to get the best out of it

2019-10-28 21:41

Mixwell in CompLexity will be so good, i like too much him

u ok?

2019-10-29 08:58

lul

finally +k0nfig and wardell

KONFIG INCOMING

POGGERS. So k0nfig &...i guess WARDELL(?) is happening.

tomorrow will be official , k0nfig and wardell

finally good players in, these guys are also fine and will find their new teams, but the monster coL wants needs even more

Konfig and Wardell not exactly a juggernaut but the fragging is there now. I guess blameF back to IGL?

6 replies

He's been IGL even with dephh in the team.

ah i didnt know. thx

2019-10-29 00:55

Blamef has been the IGL

2019-10-28 21:31

didnt know sry m8 thx tho

Hopefully

2019-10-28 21:32

lol, the whole attraction of blameF is "fragging IGL". why would he come to complexity to let dephh IGL ????

2019-10-28 21:36

Hey, i am the first. Btw NAVI NAVI NAVI IT THE BEST TEAM(HEROIC TOO) And blamef is really strange. Whe did he leave from this beautiful teanm?

oskar pls

12 replies

best awper that is available right now

9 replies

+1 but i don't think that he will move to na

sadly +1 but i think he would dominate the scene NA never had an elite awper ( maybe s1mple) he would be the first

2019-10-28 21:42

The closest thing we had to an elite awper was skadoodle. the other NA awpers look godlike one day, then they go and lose duels against an MDL level player

2019-10-28 22:56

wardell 2x better than oskar

wardell never played tier 1 cs even tier 2 oskar was a top 15 player 3 years in a row wardell is 5 months inactive and he is playing some ESEA vs some random guys

Well, he did do well against tier2 with Ghost earlier this year.. but yeah he's rather unproven and maybe rusty. I still think it would be an interesting move

2019-10-28 21:46

interesting yes but the guy said he is better then oskar sooo

2019-10-28 21:55

nah

who

2019-10-28 21:43

I would like to see ska on this roster

why would Ska play with these shitters

Name checks out

2019-10-29 13:40

FUCKING FINALLY.

LOL that guy CEO from COL is a joke

??? He’s trying to build a juggernaut. You can’t do that with ShahZaM and dephh on the team

whats your opinion on their lady ceo?

2019-10-28 21:38

coL was doing great *in NA* after major - they just can't be better than Liquid and EG. These several moves are bad for the team

He said he is trying to build a tier 1 team not a decent tier 3 NA team... He's picking up the best players he can that are actually available and willing to move to NA

+tenZ ;DDDD

0/800

Good move and expected tbh. I do hope, like the rest of the Com supporters, that we'll see the addition of k0nfig and WARDELL! Exciting times ahead!

2019-10-28 21:34

fucking finally omg

finally -shahzam, good move

2019-10-28 22:08

Dephh coming back in new team.

2019-10-28 23:27

proof for k0nfigz?

Not a proof, but k0nfig's "meanwhile" team had HS and Stark on the team, which are right now both playing as "Internazionale" with Byali, Mertz and Calyx instead and no k0nfig in sight. Just a thought.

2019-10-28 21:45

rumors, optic done

also -RUSH +valde if he aint signing with OG ofc

ok now -rush and we can build a juggernaut loll

wow nice

Deph join envy Shazam join swole

2019-10-28 21:44

Rush old TenZ young along with everyone else. Let konfig be the old experienced player.

2019-10-28 22:01

tenz is blatant

2019-10-29 14:12

25 is old? jesus, you have to be a fetus to play this game apparently.

2019-10-28 21:47

Bad move. I’d keep dephh over konfig any day. Good luck dephh! As for Shazam I called this weeks ago, sucks but everyone knew it was coming. Sadly he will be back in t2/t3 with a no name team, time to grind again as I don’t see any American t1 team needing an awp right now.

I thinl its over for shazam

2019-10-29 10:14

i dont see dephh recovering either

2019-10-29 14:14

K0nfig and Wardell ez tier 1 team

about time...

Konfig and Wardell confirmed

Col tenz inc 99%

NA scene wants nothing to do with TenZ

now we talkin

+jdm/Wardell +k0nfig incoming

Why Shahzam

2019-10-28 21:51

nato and k0nfig incoming

2019-10-28 21:52

NATO is tier 3 material. Better to try luck with poizon if they don't want sign wardell

poizon is getting picked up by og

2019-10-28 22:03

Good for him anyway col need us core so they have to pick us sniper

with US core, do they need x amount of players originating from USA to count as a US team?

2019-10-28 22:59

For America's Minors it's either 3 players from same region or 2-2-1 split between regions and then they can choose. USA, Canada counts the same and I think BR would count too. Also African team played in America's quals with permission.

2019-10-29 02:11

FINALLY

2019-10-28 21:54

I thougt Shazan was pretty good. Was I mistaken?

2019-10-28 22:04

Lol "mistaken" is a big understatement

2019-10-29 13:42

was but those days were before he joined coL

2019-10-29 14:05

oBo is the last one left from the major lineup LMAO

2019-10-28 22:07

As long as they get one more NA player they and have a decent roster (hint: +WARDELL + k0nfig) they will be able to play in the easy NA minors and get their major spot back.

2019-10-28 23:37

I love both the signings, its just funny to me that they left a 16 year old alone with almost no familar faces in game.

2019-10-29 01:31

They can get any player outside of EU because if 2-2-1 split happens they can pick between minors (and obviously pick America's). Asia, CIS, SA all available down the line

2019-10-29 02:01

They remove these 2 but they pick up rush

Unfair with Deph, but for Shazam was on time

2019-10-28 22:12

other way around if anything. dephh long overdue.

2019-10-29 14:25

Dephh not given marching orders. He not a benchman me think.

+NEO +byali

2019-10-28 22:15

Hope they get Nifty, Wardell wouldn't be bad but he has attitude issues and k0nfig is a hothead.. Dephh to OG hopefully, very underrated supoort player.

2019-10-28 22:21

dephh to og would never happen bro. id honestly be surprised to see him back on a t1 team

2019-10-29 14:26

I know it won't happen, I think he can replace letn1 with ease (Cr4zy).

2019-10-29 14:48

CR4ZY comm in english?

2019-10-29 15:33

Yup

2019-10-29 15:51

+skadoodle +k0nfig Wardell toxic I heard?

2019-10-28 22:20

2019-10-29 01:45

Watch one of his streams , fucking idiot who thinks he's a God.

2019-10-29 13:43

probably, hes like 5'5" and has an "alpha ego" those usually make for some toxic dude bros

2019-10-29 15:57

YES! finally getting rid of these two opening up for two good players. Rush is the next that has to go.

2019-10-28 22:23

+ WARDEL + k0nfig

2019-10-28 22:26

i dont care about this trash team , BUT im so freakin happy that this silver bot deph benched, hope he never ever will play on pro scene.

About damn time.

expected XD

2019-10-28 22:31

about time

How do you even complete this roster

finally they remove these fucking bots

+k0nfig +mixwell

bench best player? Shazham?

2019-10-28 22:42

shahzam always gets the shaft in every team even though he's rarely the weakest link. I think people just don't like him very much

2019-10-28 22:46

why? any reason for it? i think hes pretty funny atleast on stream. And i think hes good guy player sad for him i hope he finds better team.

2019-10-28 23:18

he is the American Sixer

joke on side, shazham is pretty good dude no joke here. Dont even comparate him to sixer. Ok i know sixer was god tier player in 1.6, kinda sucked at CSGO never found his skill i guess. Just some 1.6 players who after a pretty small time of trying CSGO they just never ever came back again to pro scene

2019-10-28 23:31

+Wardell (to keep the NA Core) +k0nfig -keita +valens

I definitely agree. Valens is a great coach.

valens doesnt want to coach, he wants to bring analytics to csgo

2019-10-29 14:35

-RUSH +autimatic

2019-10-28 22:44

if they add k0nfig I'll be really surprised considering how god-awful the mixed danish/NA OpTiC roster was and how many issues they had within the team

2019-10-28 22:45

Rush > shahzam?

2019-10-28 22:47

+wardell when?

FINALLY Good job Jason Lake Now +WARDELL +k0nfig =real Juggernaut

wardell is a toxic fuck and k0nfig was good like 1.5 years ago nice juggernaut with these bots

2019-10-29 14:09

juggernaut btw 😂😂😂😂😂 what a noob

HAHAHAA RUSH STILL ON THE TEAM

2019-10-28 22:53

rush is obv. temporary. I think only obo+blamef are in longterm plan.

2019-10-28 23:08

I think Rush is long term if he can perform.

2019-10-28 23:02

2019-10-28 22:58

2019-10-28 23:13

2019-10-29 00:52

Felps should go to mibr/intz. Ablej is under contract with Furia , k0nfig is a sure pickup and TenZ is trash , all aim , NO brain.

2019-10-29 13:46

damn i would actually love to see +felps best br player imo. always getting shafted by the luminosity/sk core

2019-10-29 14:38

2019-10-29 01:14

Remember Shazham on OpTic with cajun and konfig? bad times

2019-10-29 03:29

What do you mean? Shazham is benched

2019-10-29 12:25

2019-10-29 01:20

All they have are a bunch of toxic players to choose from in the pool now; so no matter what they do they'll have to be taking risks. Wardell (toxic reputation as a rager) k0nfig (same deal as wardell) oskar (good but toxic) TenZ (elitist cocky mentality from C9 not wanting to play their system) Wardell is getting way too much praise/hype though considering he isn't even proven at a level above tier 3. Did good against some T3/T4 competition playing with ghost and everyone hyping him up, lol.

2019-10-29 01:36

TenZ did nothing wrong and he was right about the team

2019-10-29 03:10

tenz cheating

2019-10-29 14:41

Oskar toxic ? Wtf how And give an example of him being toxic

2019-10-29 13:47

Add k0nfig please

2019-10-29 02:17

Well, JDM was in discussion, and he doesn't rage. He is the most chill Awper. Moose? Tenz? Idk

2019-10-29 02:28

but he's a bot. fuck no

2019-10-29 02:32

jdm does rage and hes dog shit

2019-10-29 03:09

jdm rages and is also a terrible choice for any team not in esea advanced

That's an awesome idea

2019-10-29 13:49

+NatoShapix BlameF already played with him, solid young AWP that is a definite upgrade over Shazam +NiKo(the one from ex-Optic) or +Friberg one of the best members of ex-Optic, while id rather see K0nfig, i dont think BlameF is the right IGL for him, also Niko deserves another chance cause in the last months of optic he was playing real good. Friberg is another player with prior experience with BlameF, super solid veteran that was playing very good for his age when he was on Heroic under BlameF, id very much like to see him back on the scene

2019-10-29 08:24

Wait..so you kick Depph and Shazam, losing your major spot, to “upgrade” to Nato and Friberg? Do you know both were kicked from Heroic? Heroic, my friend. If they were not good enough for them...

2019-10-29 08:29

Heroic wasn’t a bad team at the time tho, solid top 15-20 which is more than Complexity ever reached, and yea they were kicked Friberg cause he was getting older and NatoShapix cause his contract ended and he didnt want to renew it. Getting The old BlameF teammates that are free agents would be a way better upgrade monetarily than investing in players with contracts

2019-10-29 08:37

They are better now. The CEO of Complexity said he is willing to invest some money. The priority is to be a NA team, so if you bring an European, you better be good. Bringing an old player having his best years way behind is not the solution. There is no potential in Friberg. And Nato didn't really show TOP skill. There are better options.

2019-10-29 14:27

Which major spot lmfao ? Friberg wasn't kicked , he left

2019-10-29 13:50

*minor, sorry. Meant, that they have to go through qualification again.

2019-10-29 14:24

If they want another NA player for the NA quals, the. they should either get MarkE from Eunited(Jason Lake has the money), solid player and I heard he isn’t toxic, maybe get Nifty or Fugly if they want something more experienced. The obvious choice would be Wardell, but i think NatoshapiX is a way better buy for the same role

2019-10-29 08:30

Dead

Remove RUSH then

2019-10-29 08:45

+1 Top team with RUSH PepeLaugh

2019-10-29 12:21

2019-10-29 09:40

The juggernaut is coming PogChamp

2019-10-29 10:59

2019-10-29 11:24

PLEASE -RUSH

2019-10-29 11:45

Want to see xms, bodyy and jdm find a new team soon too.

2019-10-29 12:17

-RUSH +TabseN +Kjaerbye +rain (FaZe is dead anyway)

imagine killing 3 teams to save 1 already na dead team, good one

2019-10-29 13:17

Killing 3 teams ?! Dude, FaZe, BIG and NORTH are dead as you can be.

2019-10-29 13:44

True but without Kjaerbye they would fall into absolute obscurity.

2019-10-29 13:51

About time.

2019-10-29 13:16

+k0nfig and Zellsis/Skadoodle and n0thing

why would they recycle tier3 US players like zellsis,skadoodle,nothing? All a downgrade. Konfig seems like the most likely but i hope the 2nd is good as well.
