Copenhagen Flames close to transfer to Complexity - Report

2-12-2021 16:26

Multiple reports point to advanced talks between Copenhagen Flames and Complexity regarding the transfer of the Danish roster.

Copenhagen Flames are close to finalizing a transfer of their entire CS:GO roster to Complexity, according to reports by Esport Fire and Jaxon.

Both outlets outlined that the lineup led by Rasmus "⁠HooXi⁠" Nielsen was approached by multiple parties following PGL Major Stockholm and that Complexity are the top candidate to buy the roster out of their contracts with the Danish organization.

Jaxon noted that the players are in the process of negotiating their individual deals, information that HLTV.org can confirm and add that, according to our sources, that is what the transfer now mainly hinges on.

Copenhagen Flames could soon make a move to Complexity

Rumors of Copenhagen Flames' potential move to a different organization have been swirling ever since the team went on their surprising campaign at IEM Fall, where they topped a group featuring several big names in G2, BIG, and MOUZ, and went on to place seventh overall to qualify for PGL Major Stockholm.

At the Major, the team impressed even further with a flawless run through the Challengers stage and a competitive look in the Legends stage, which saw their fairytale-like story end on the back of a close loss to Ninjas in Pyjamas in the final round of the second Swiss stage.

After being ranked ninth following the conclusion of the Stockholm event, Copenhagen Flames have since dropped off to 14th place in HLTV.org's ranking as they have struggled to replicate their Major form in tournaments such as the Funspark ULTI Europe Regional Series 4 and Pinnacle Fall Series 3, losing matches to teams such as Savage, TTC, and BLINK.

The team has also since parted ways with their coach, Faruk "⁠pita⁠" Pita, who joined up with former teammates in Dignitas in late November as a replacement for Halvor "⁠vENdetta⁠" Gulestøl.

The following quintet is currently contracted to Copenhagen Flames:

Rasmus "⁠HooXi⁠" Nielsen
Fredrik "⁠roeJ⁠" Jørgensen
Nico "⁠nicoodoz⁠" Tamjidi
Rasmus "⁠Zyphon⁠" Nordfoss
Jakob "⁠jabbi⁠" Nygaard

peacekeeper is, I'm sorry to say, one of the worst people in csgo. He joins rosters, destroys them, and leaves.

2021-12-06 16:01

peacemaker leaving has prob more to do with coL realizing the brazilian last dance was/is horrible idea *at least competitively*.

Casemiro should do the Brazillian last dance, wont compete but would get like 200k viewers a match lol...looks like he is rumored to grab a case esports team again but not sure

both case and casemiro are teasing signing a new csgo team since sometime before (iirc since mid august/sep) those last dance rumors. Maybe this possibility was what made him ~delay~ any announcements? also coldzera walked away from the last dance cuz, apparently, the guys didnt want to be based in eu Case might pickup the imperial squad or, the community was hoping for a buildup around steel the last dance will happen under g3x banner, with Ronaldo backing, prob based in na or br

if i was rich, i woud move to Europe, considering the situation our country is in

2021-12-02 18:16

Do you have sources on cold leaving the project because the other guys didn’t wanted to live in Europe? Also, if they’re BR based this going to be a full meme team lol

2021-12-02 17:55

cold wanting to stay in europe is a known. him leaving the project is also a known. the reason (others not wanting to stay in eu) is mainly guessing on my part, mostly cuz fallen and fer seem to prefer grinding out (does fnx even want to grind?) somewhere they are comfortable and close to their families, ie na or br. this is a full meme team since the first idea on it

2021-12-02 17:16

Nope, completely released. Only Cold was still on the bench

No he is still on the bench

2021-12-02 22:46

Still benched and on transfer list as he's under contract.

2021-12-02 23:56

Benched, probably wanting to transfer him

to mouz or faze next year ehm :D

2021-12-02 16:35

no one needs him

2021-12-02 17:02

mouz might lose ropz and it would be perfect replacement while if Faze dont get ropz for olof the best fit would be also jks though imo

2021-12-02 17:07

2021-12-02 17:17

Renegades

2021-12-02 17:11

wild conspiracy theory time: Mouz: - Ropz (leaves for better team) - Frozen (also leaves for better team) - Bymas (benched) - acoR (also benched) Dexter remains and then... + jks + gratisfaction + AZR + Liazz then Mouz basically becomes old renegades, with Dexter IGL'ing.

I dont think this might happen but we will see :D

2021-12-02 17:36

I doubt grat and liazz. Alistair and INS have both shown better performances internationally, so maybe those two instead.

2021-12-02 17:58

possibly, i was just looking at the old EXTREMUM guys currently being without an org, though.

2021-12-02 21:05

Only problem is that Dexter is worst player in Mouz and why would they make team around him

2021-12-02 22:45

That goes to acor easily. Dexter is an okay igl and fragger. For someone who was sectioned off in Australia it's impressive but still relatively speaking to other eu igls he's just okay. Acor has been a literal bot on this roster though

2021-12-09 11:36

Jabbi the killer

he was nuts at the major, hopefully he can remain at that form

2021-12-02 16:40

He was nuts? When did this happen? The kid never finishes top 2 on the team

2021-12-02 17:03

I think against NiP. There was a match where he was fucking insane.

did you not just see their recent results? xddd

Apparently they didn't cause this is 3 weeks too late. Going to be another long run dissapointment for Jason and Co. However I like flames, hope they prove me wrong

CoL last major:SL Berlin 19 CPHF last major:PGL Stockholm 21 How CoL is richer than CPHF????

0/8

Bcoz they got more investors

How much price money do teams receive? Surely not a lot, + Dallas cowboys

I imagine nexa switches to fragger. French guys leave. Awper and aleksib come in

2021-12-09 11:37

Jason lake got scammed again

Juggernaut or fluke?

2021-12-02 16:41

CoL 0iq

good shit tbh but their recent results are lacking a bit, i guess since pita isnt involved in the project anymore imagine xtqzzz behind those guys, they could really elevate to new heights again

Dont think that BaldqTaz is going to join danish speaking team.

Comms would be a problem, he would need to learn Danish

most of the players proved they can speak decent english when they were guests at HLTV confirmed so i dont think it would be a problem to switch to english in timeouts and talk danish ingame or am i missing something?

2021-12-02 17:18

jabbi doesn't speak english tho

2021-12-02 18:07

Really? That is quite weird dont u think?

2021-12-02 21:31

yeah, quite unusual for his age

2021-12-03 00:34

LETTS GOOOOOOOOOO

Welcome to Tier 3 Complexity

Good choice

Pog cphf free ESL and Blast spot

poor Jason out here making the worst possible monetary decisions

2021-12-02 16:30

Yeah, they are not good enough he deserves a top tier team :(

2021-12-02 17:20

they are good enough, you will see

feelsbadman col is probably going to disband after this :(

Col should pick up ex-Spirit core and lollipop + CIS avp

2021-12-02 16:31

Bruh momento

First time check HLTV in twitch chat was true :)

...major was a fluke...can't even win online

rofl

2021-12-02 16:32

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Danish coL :D

fluke

2021-12-02 16:33

Bad investment, just like CoLs last roster...

Expected

hltv.org/news/32894/complexity-part-ways.. Called it

This was speculated long ago so not that surprising tbh

waste of money

wasted money, this team goes nowhere

Complexity alredy making a huge mistake :') look at cph now

Janson thinking you are back to t1 ? lmao , you moron , col t3 at best

Complexity is beyond stupid I hope selling nicoodoz⁠ to Astralis or something along those lines makes this worth it, Otherwise wtf

SHould have bought Mantuu and FlameZ from OG and signed Jkaem and AZR

2021-12-02 16:45

If Aleksib leaves for G2 OG - AZR, JKS, Jkaem, Mantuu, FlameZ Even if Aleksib doesn't leave, They should be getting JKS and Jkaem, Current roster has been so unexciting

evn if Aleksi stays, +jks and +Jkaem for Niko and Valde

2021-12-02 16:56

2021-12-02 16:57

complexity is always late to the party lol

Fairplay Jason Lake but careful once this roster gets better paycheck their form can turn to shit

Complexity and bad business deals. Iconic duo xD

Expected, all the best to them.

pogg

Rip complexity

this roster is really average-ish at best. don't let their major run mean anything regardless.

But at the same time, COL have many secure spot in many leagues, it'll help them to grow. It is better than the old complexity, I think.

Far better indeed, that lineup was doomed the day coldzera signed.

2021-12-02 18:46

But I agree with you, the team is overrated. Since the major, they have been playing pretty badly. But I think complexity don't want to build a random team or to sign a nostalgia br teams. It was their best option.

2021-12-02 19:10

flames is honestly their most stable and affordable option at the moment. I think they're right on not attempting fallen's last dance or something.

2021-12-02 19:13

AHHAHAHA expected

such a mistake lol they hit their absolute peak going into the major

Their post major form has been sketchy but then again with all the contract talk their head is not entirely on the game. As for the org, COL/ Jason lake is a hell of an owner but they won´t have access to their amazing texas facility so maybe they´ll have an office in EU? As for the coach it´s probably gonna be a dane (a tactical coach as Hooxi likes to dictate the squad/strats) even if an international coach might have done them good. GL Danish underdogs and all hail the new Juggernaut (hopefully this one doesnt´t crumble like the collosus)

This is just an idea and probably they will go to Vitality, but what about -jabbi -hooxi +magisk +dupreeh +Zonic as head coach and hooxi as assistant coach or analyist

2021-12-02 17:13

Would be a shame to mess the dynamism of a "winning" formula. Stuff seems to have clicked for CPH so changes seem unwarranted. While this change may look good firepower-wise in the short term (clear upgrade) switching over Jabbi (their major best player) and Hooxi would require a big adapptation which would take a few months and defeat the purpose of the COL buy - Have a good team NOW While a good idea in theory, it´s quite risky for all parties involved and carries substancial risk that i doubt COL want to take after their Juggernaut Fiasco. In a metaphor, COL just got rid of it´s Ferrari that initialy was awesome but for the last 2y kept having problems that went from simple fixes to a complete car rebuild. COL wants a good eficent car that will give him no problems and do it´s job. So while getting a Mclaren sounds cool as the sequel isn´t a better call to use an industructible/reliable (even if less impressive) Toyota Land Cruiser?

2021-12-02 17:45

what a scam loooool just look at their last matches and who they lost to

Do you really think they give a shit about t2/t3 scene anymore? Just watching their games, they didn't seem to play at their best. I think this roster is made for t1 and will play well.

2021-12-02 22:19

#126 this is the only rational explanation for buying these flukers tbh

2021-12-03 11:24

maintaining form online has been a tough ask since the early days of cs

2021-12-03 01:35

Deal executed. Business 100

Lol they had a fluke run at the Major and have been losing almost every game since

2021-12-02 16:44

Bro Jason please don't buy them, they are not worth it. Just another fluke team. Their recent form confirms it.

they are solid on lan

2021-12-03 01:34

nice move from Compl

wtf

Should have signed Mouz nxt instead

fluke team kekw

Good move

2021-12-02 16:47

kek

imo bad investment

2021-12-02 16:48

so many decent benched and free agent players on the market and col is going to spend 500k on this team -.-'

buying tier 2 team nice

2021-12-02 16:49

why signing this flukers?

fluke team hahah

i love them. they are good!

2021-12-02 16:52

Juggernaut my ass

not juggernaut anymore but a lot of potential

one of the wealthiest orgs signing a tier2 fluke team XDDDDD

CSGO pro-scene has become such a speculative market...

2021-12-08 14:06

why they did good in the major and are now losing to their 2 teams

Flukenhagen flames

theyve looked sooo bad after the major... another flopped col :()

coL's managment keep waste money into nowhere.... But still not worse as CLOUD9 did.

2021-12-02 16:59

Fluke

> pick tier 2-3 players for free > play like shit for months if not years > have literally one good run at a major > sell team immediately before everyone realizes it's a fluke > profit

2021-12-02 17:00

tier 3 bots

literally better than any na team right now

2021-12-03 01:33

LUL even dead liquid would shit on them

2021-12-03 02:01

In your dreams lol

2021-12-03 07:15

bad move CPH run at the major was a fluke

if they move them to na at least they can farm esea cash cup lol

Jason Lake smart man. Even if the team falls off they can replace one or two of their players since the talent pool in Denmark is huge. Much better investment than the brazilian last dance, for sure.

struggling vs sprout with a coach as stand in tier 1 material right there

2021-12-02 17:06

I'm not even mad. That's a good lineup to pick up.

meh'ish roster, meh'ish org good luck tho

Tbh they don't deserve an org like CoL giving their results post-major

I think it's going to be the same fail as the ATK to Cloud9 transfer after their ESL Pro League adventure but I hope these danes prove me wrong

2021-12-02 17:10

But CPH Flames are absolutely terrible at the moment, seems like the flame isn't burning that bright at the moment.

they played very well during the major, cheap deal for a team that works, you have a 5-man core qual for major = you can kick 2 and still qualify for major. it's a no-brainer.

lmao

2021-12-02 17:14

Terrible decision as this team is going nowhere and will get taken apart by the other Danish powers when they want to do roster changes...as usual

2021-12-02 17:15

If they remained as Copenhagen FLAMES yes, but now this team have the biggest economic muscles, far more than astralis and heroic, so COL/this team can actually start to farm the new Copenhagen FLAMES and perhaps snatch valde from OG etc.

Yeah I meant terrible decision for COL...sorry. Great move for the team

2021-12-02 17:32

Promising team. Good decision by Complexity.

Finally COL goes full Danish/National team but they should have done it while they had k0nfig and blamef(Es3tag?) or just picked up fiend +Shipz, sigh.

Hope this is for good

Really bad move for CoL

I think it is good move.

Interesting. Gl

Oh damn

Niceeeeee thats sick

i hope CoL change their logo to old one or something similar

2021-12-02 17:22

bad move

nice hf with bot team

2021-12-02 17:25

ez mony

this is a huge mistake

if its cheap enough, could be a decent move

2021-12-02 17:27

hopefully they fix their shit form

cph stickers the greatest

2021-12-02 17:34

Overrated roaster imo. A lot of unknown teams had one good run and then faded away.

2021-12-02 17:39

they aren't from na don't worry

2021-12-03 01:31

what money ? what money ? what money ? what money ? what money ? what money ?

lmao imagine signing tier3 team

2021-12-02 17:42

COL exists to give euros money

2021-12-02 17:59

Better sign ex-FPX imo lul

CPH go to 00 plan ! Kkkk

2021-12-02 18:15

I hate to be that guy, but seriously. They are un-proven in T1 CS, with limited potential in the future. Reminds me few danish teams in past. To name one, mad lions at their peak. I would rather try to get one or two free agents or low buyout players and fill in some NA players (either young and upcoming or some "washed up" still decent players).

2021-12-02 18:29

Jake falling for a meme fluke pushed by Reddit, That's like if a big org signed QBFire because they were in major playoffs.

2021-12-02 18:35

seems more like you're the one being subject to 'recency bias'.

2021-12-04 22:55

That'd be awesome, I love Complexitys boss

2021-12-02 18:40

so who to coach them? they heavily need a good coach maybe devilwalk? FeTiSh? is there even any notable danish coach as free agent atm?

of course it has to be peacemak... oh wait.

overrated af

2021-12-02 22:37

Have 1 good event, coL acquires CPH Flames. Have multiple bad events against tier 1 opponents and drop back to tier 2, coL realises they're dumb

2021-12-02 23:47

they had 2 half-bad events recently, while pita has been away. otherwise they've been playing very well for quite some time. even before the RMR and the Major, they did quite well even against T1 teams. 5-man core, you can replace 2 and still get a "free" major qualification, cheap deal for the roster. a very new roster that showed very quickly after formation, that they could show up against the best. coL can see the obvious good business in this deal. this is the low-risk best value for money roster right now. if coL is dumb, then you should be able to come up with a better roster for the same amount of money.

2021-12-03 03:37

Woooow I guessed this would happen weeks ago

I honestly think chf would be top danish team going on forward now that they have t1 org backing them

2021-12-03 01:29

Now the question is if they are fluke team or not. Either way they are capable of playing good, but will they do it consistently? Find out in the new episode soon. Thanks for watching

2021-12-03 03:58

nice cph flames

2021-12-03 05:18

I don't know if this team is built to win trophies yet, but yeah very solid base to start building from and a very solid team in general. Good luck to complexity and the flames
