Complexity sign es3tag

22-7-2021 22:07

The 25-year-old's arrival has formed a Danish core under the American brand.

Complexity have completed the signing of Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen, the North American organization has announced. The 25-year-old joins the Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer-led team on a free transfer after being released from Cloud9, where he had spent the last four months on the bench.

The former HEROIC and Astralis member replaces William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba on the active roster following the 27-year-old American's benching earlier on Thursday, which marked the second change in the Complexity camp within the past week after they had parted ways with coach Jamie "keita" Hall.

"We've had an eye on es3tag for quite some time as he's obviously an amazing player," Complexity's CEO, Jason Lake, has told HLTV.org. "Additionally, beyond that I believe his work ethic, attitude and knowledge of the game will help get this roster to the next level where it belongs. I'm extremely excited to welcome him to the Complexity family."

es3tag reunites with blameF in Complexity

With his addition, Complexity will hope to find better form after the multinational side struggled for deep runs, most recently finishing in last place at IEM Cologne's main event following losses to G2 and Virtus.pro in the group stage.

es3tag returns to activity for the first time since Cloud9 decided to put its CS:GO division on hold in March following a largely unsuccessful five-month run with the team put together by then General Manager Henry "⁠HenryG⁠" Greer. The Dane was the last member of that roster to be let go by the Los Angeles-based organization, over three months after each of his former teammates were either released or transitioned to the VALORANT division.

In Complexity, es3tag will reunite with blameF after the duo played together in HEROIC for the better part of a year in 2019 and achieved decent results, most notably placing in the top-eight at two consecutive Big Events, ESL Pro League Season 9 Finals and ESL One Cologne.

The majority of Complexity's lineup is now Danish following the move, and looks as follows:

Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer
Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke
Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev
Justin "⁠jks⁠" Savage
Patrick "⁠es3tag⁠" Hansen

William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba (inactive)

Mertz has been doing really well in t2 and he has a low buyout so he would be a good addition if they don't want to spend much on buying Farlig from FPX (Since device and acoR recently signed with their teams I doubt they're cheap).

real problem with mertz is he seems to leave teams a few months after joining. Not sure if this is toxicity or some other issue but it's plagued his career.

Actually poizon tries to make plays which s1mple have done in the past but fails 78% of times. He should try to change his aggressive awper style at times and play around team, best example are Device and Simple currently. (Yeah baiting is bad but you'll take 4v4 anytime of the day compared to 4v5 78% of the time) And 4v4 in T side is Amazing choice! TLDR Poizon should stop being agressive plays and play with team. Especially on CT side where 4v5 is way more difficult on team and Economy

True about the form though. He is kinda sad when you think about it. He was truly a t1 material. Furia is going nowhere without him. I think Poizon is good, not great, because one game is amazing and the other game, Xypex is a better awper than him.

although poizon hasn't been playing well recently, his career LAN stats are higher than his online ones. he'll probably do at least a little better once LANs become common again.

2021-07-23 02:17

The point is that if coL change roster, it should be an undisputable upgrade (i.e. device instead of poizon or e3etag instead of Rush, etc.). Agree on the Hen1 case. Furia with Hen1 was great and he was performing really well

I don't care about Col, but Astralis is surely done. Losing such a great player - looks like Col's offer was so so sweet, es3tag couldn't resist. Actually half a dozen teams could have used es3tag, even NiP.

1 reply

Probably has to do with CoL's finances since they are one of the richest orgs and can give large salaries. I wouldn't be surprised if Es3tag is someone that cares more about his salary than the team he's on since he accepted the offer from HenryG and Cloud9.

not enough time to write all the talent that is waiting for proper chance instead of es3tag who shown nothing special during his career except being biggest flop that costed c9 $500k. also Complexity is definitely rich enough to pay for buyouts, for sure it wasn't main factor when looking for rush' replacement. and literally why would they want to build danish team? :D

"and literally why would they want to build danish team? :D" Because: 1. 3/5 players are now Danish. 2. JKS have been underperforming for such a long time 3. Poizon is underperforming 4. They just removed their UK coach Keita, i guess they could add a Danish coach, who? Idk.

+1 also the 3 danes have no issues with English

2021-07-23 01:20

???? Es3tag will most likely be taking over RUSH's roles and since Es3tag has played Support in the past and been really good at it, I don't see how this is disappointing. He literally played support for Astralis and won trophies with them.

2021-07-22 22:40

CoL doing inevitable, BUT... I don't like this. I mean team potential is quite big and this guy is... questionable at best. For a top tier CS.

I don’t see how picking up another player that plays passively is going to help. Rush was entry and backup support, if you watch matches he’s the only one who moved around for info. I hope it works out but I don’t see how.

They might have some sort of role change happening, and Es3tag might not play the roles he played in Cloud9, there may be some sort of shift in roles, so only time will tell if it works out or not.

well that's a possibility since all are in EU, but they really only got the ex North players. I wouldn't mind MSL as a tactical coach. I think him and BlameF would do wonders together, but they don't really have a supportive element. Blame would have to reel himself in a bit to support others, or the last would have to be a hard support player like RUSH was. K0nfig is still an amazing rifler, and es3tag is also a great utility player overall, but has a lot of explosive potential and great ability in clutches. Making him primary AWP is a huge waste, and forcing him into more supportive roles is another waste of his talents.

Imagine not having Rush and just let Konfig die every time he entrys cause of no help. That would be worse for them.

Lot easier when Rush pushes every round same spot so always there are two cts with him and Konfig has more space on mid. Yes i know you have no idea about cs on higher lvl.

2021-07-23 03:45

wow free transfer that would be a good addition for coL unfortunately, train isn't on the map pool anymore and this would be the last chance for es3tag to prove his worth

2021-07-23 04:48

2021-07-23 05:20

Interesting. I know his average rating isn't great but relative to the team and his role I personally thought Rush was doing far better than I ever expected him to. *WP to him The lack of a proficient main AWP player would've been the first issue I'd address but perhaps they intend to somehow with this addition, I've been surprised before! GLHF COL!! 💪

2021-07-23 06:45

yeah and rush 99.69% go to valulrant

2021-07-23 07:04

Okay so, unless poizon performs, JUGi to Col for the Heroic/Danish line up?

2021-07-23 07:09

2 replies

I would never switch poizon for JUGi..

2021-07-23 09:17

Jugi is passive awper who fits more in teams like Heroic/Astralis. If they want to change Poizon for someone similiar then i would say Farlig is good option. Is he better? I dont think so.

2021-07-23 09:56

Overrated

2021-07-23 07:12

so cole now is a danish team or danish core

2021-07-23 07:17

Now it's easier to turn full danish than try international, when you have 3 danes. So -jks -poizion, +someone, who will leave Astralis and +someone who can hold an AWP.

2021-07-23 07:26

go full danish

2021-07-23 07:56

well was expecting something better but okay

2021-07-23 08:03

If device stayed in Astralis then es3tag⁠ would be good. Now Astralis need top AWP`er not es3tag.

2021-07-23 08:05

real superstar team

2021-07-23 09:13

+STYKO and Farlig

2021-07-23 09:15

Decent signing but the core problem remains of blameF being a pretty bad IGL. No matter how they do it, they should get a new IGL and either kick blameF off or make him a lurker.

Really good decision.Es3tag is still great player but forgotten by many.Rush can play hard roles but he was giving nothing special and sometimes he was invisible.

It is mind boggling it took them so long. He had like 99999 bad games. CoL would be winning vs top teams 11-4 at halftime and lose and RUSH would be -17 KD. I seriously want to know how it didn't happen sooner. Maybe CoL is poor and had to wait for C9 to get desperate to sell es3tag since C9 paid a lot for him and now they don't have a roster.
