compLexity releases CS squad

18-3-2010 23:16

compLexity have announced the release of their Counter-Strike 1.6 squad, following recent performances and other matters.

The North American squad recently attended the Intel Extreme Masters IV World Championship, where they claimed fourth place in their group, which did not allow them to participate further in the tournament. As of latest, the team this weekend only managed a fourth place at the ESEA Season 5 LAN Finals in Dallas.

The compLexity organization this evening announced the release of the squad, base on recent performances, dedication and a lack of involvement and interaction with the compLexity community.

"It's no secret that we've struggled to find a consistent roster over the past 12 months. Despite the fact that we experienced some success, internal issues always seemed to derail the squad's momentum. All of the players are great people who are very skilled at the game, but the championship passion and chemistry that defines the compLexity name has eluded us. We are currently evaluating the scene and are considering both American and European options to replace the current roster. We wish the players the very best with everything, both in and out of game." - said Jason Lake, CEO of compLexity Gaming on the compLexity website.

Former compLexity now to look for a new home

compLexity consisted of following:

Andrew "Irukandji" Timmerman
Ryan "NineSpot" Bell
Thomas "thoMz" Garcia
Derek "dboorN" Boorn
Derrick "impulsive" Truong

The five players are now free agents on the marked, which possibly could ignite a shake-up of the lower-tier teams below the all dominant force Evil Geniuses. compLexity states they have intentions to announce a new squad soon.

too bad!

they are already sponsored by Mr. Arbalet :>

Being sponsored does not mean that they are part of an organization as such, right? And in the end, everything can be discussed ;)

Sure thing, but why would they want the trouble of having an (international) organisation when they just can rely on mr. i-have-way-too-much-money-so-i-spend-insane-amounts-of-them-on-cs ? no ukrainian organisation could match up mr. arbalet im pretty sure and with an international organisation, communication problems will follow.

3 replies

As said, these kind of things should be, and can be, discussed :) I know that teams look for an organization, mainly, for economical support (which is something that Na'Vi do not seem to lack) but also 1) coL is interested in a winning (and also stable) team and 2) Arbalet might be interested in coL's "involvement" to "advertise" his CS efforts beyond Eastern borders. I presume interesting projects, not only coL's new team, could be the result of this potential "cooperation".

2010-03-19 00:27

Good point. I would, however, be extremely surprised if an american organisation would ever come to pick up an eastern european team. But yes, skillwise and in most aspects, Na'Vi would be a great fit for them.

2010-03-19 00:38

I'm pretty sure JaX's parents have quite a bit of money as well, maybe they'll duke it out with Arbalet

2010-03-19 02:21

new line-up : sunman, Volcano, zid, KSharp and Rambo ;D and may be mix : Tentpole, Snajdan, Sunman, Volcano and Rambo :D:D:D:D:D:D

2010-03-18 23:22

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D: no actually that was lame

2010-03-19 14:22

hahaha

2010-03-19 16:37

coL is a great org. hopes up for a top-team tba

bring in MYM.swe or Na`vi! coL.zet[A] again!^_^

mym and na'vi too is a good organisation...

2010-03-19 00:13

mym.swe is too weak

2010-03-19 14:18

ya i have to agree with that:\ but i cant think of any other good euro teams that would consider so maybe its all talk from coL?

2010-03-20 00:51

hahahahahaah, they cut hero and evo, this is what they get :) bring back method from DINC and Volcano...Volcano is still ridiculous, but he doesn't play seriously :( they should pickup playzone.se, Na`Vi, MYM,(they don't really need one) or FireGamers.. it would be fucking awesome if jason lake picked up Firegamers (who could be a top5 team imo) so they can bootcamp in sweden and play at more events like they were able to with old mibr backing them up.. coL pick up FG or Playzone Please!!!

Firegamers would be an interesting move indeed.

2010-03-18 23:38

yessir

2010-03-19 00:32

idd

2010-03-19 17:08

youre an idiot. Evo has a bad attitude. Hero wasn't cut for his skill. He couldn't dedicate time. Which says a lot because coL themselves weren't even that commited because they were distracted by school. Which imo is why this happend in the first place. They had the talent, they just weren't focused on cs.

2010-03-19 03:20

Evo does not have a bad attitude, he's a cool dude. You don't know him.

2010-03-21 23:22

YES firegamers is a great idea! Really skilled and proven... but top american teams (and american cs fans) may not like this attitude...coL always stood for USofA (broadly)

2010-03-19 05:46

yeah i think that firegamers would be an intresting move :D.they are xtremely talented by they lack of money,practice.maybe motivation..a move to the states and the ability to join huge lans and international event would be sweet.You know fg was one of the three teams that beated fnatic last year.(the other two were SK and FX)i'm saying three because i can only remember three i'm sure they were more hahah.. So coL pick FG or collaborate with mister arbalet to make the most prestigious gaming organisation ever :)

2010-03-19 23:15

you have no idea what you're talking about, so stfu please. volcano hasn't played since coL.cs and he wasn't that great. method is bottom in stats for DINC. playzone.se is garbage. they aren't even top 5 in Sweden, so why would jlake pick up a team that can't compete internationally, because Sweden makes up a large majority of the international scene. MYM sponsor > coL sponsor Mibr sponsorship > coL sponsorship, so FG will probably go to MIBR if they go anywheres.

2010-03-20 17:17

coL.Irukandji (strat caller) coL.method coL.hero coL.dboorn coL.aZn >_< >_< >_<

they will never get better than EG...

2010-03-18 23:33

aZn ouuuuu :P

2010-03-18 23:43

Irukandji is the weak link imo, arrogant strat caller who has gone on record shunning counter-strating, and watching other teams demos

2010-03-20 05:34

that's what tacticians do. they anti-strat to give their team an edge. every professional team watches demo. dRew is known to be one of the best CS players in N.A. at the moment.

2010-03-20 17:18

2010-03-18 23:37

pickup cbteam guys

GL col!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A good chance for a team of dedicated players that has yet to get their shot to shine to do so now...

2010-03-18 23:45

cbteam, gogo :)

TMS ^_^

2010-03-18 23:49

:( sad Hopefully they pick up a new team. Drew is the best.

2010-03-18 23:52

coL, cut the american pride and bring a european team that can bring your name back to the map again. when it comes to the american scene, i think EG has no competition... so they need a european team. although it's complicated since the management is from USA. anyway, take Na`Vi, UNiTED or FireGamers, that's the best thing they can do for the organisation.

2010-03-18 23:53

FireGamers is no better than the team they just released. UNiTED maybe are good enough, but russians and americans? communication problems will arise. and as i wrote in a comment above, i think na'vi is well sponsored enough. :)

2010-03-19 00:18

Aren't United also backed by arbalet?

2010-03-19 03:35

Sure they are,and i don't think they need one more sponsor...All prizemoney na'vi/united grabs for themselves,so imagine,this is professional team and they got rly many bonus cash + 900$ per months No reason for coL company even to try make something common with those teams

2010-03-19 04:26

so cbteam then.

2010-03-19 09:43

too bad.. gl Drew and dboorn!

2010-03-19 00:03

niceeeee

2010-03-19 00:19

poor impulsive:\ always seems to only ever get to play one tourney with a new team he joins:(

2010-03-19 00:22

This is good news. JLake / coL, want a top team, not an average team. Plus i never liked the way the team carried themselves. Drew cant be serious for more than 5 seconds in an interview.

2010-03-19 00:25

I'm anxious to see their new roster.

2010-03-19 00:30

2010-03-19 00:34

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

2010-03-19 00:58

Pick up fnatic.

2010-03-19 01:10

pick up RAVENS!!!

2010-03-19 01:34

#46 Ravens didnt win a match in the last event. They were most likely a 1 hit wonder. Firegamers to me is a solid pickup.

2010-03-19 01:38

expected

2010-03-19 01:43

Pickup FG and mix it up with some of the players that u guys released the best from FG and the best from Ex-coL...just a though :$

2010-03-19 01:58

Yeh!! Do that! ... Or wait.. Should they really?

2010-03-19 04:56

the language barrier would be epic. i say just pick up FG and bring them all to the US. teach them english and get them baptized and they'll be #1 in the world in no time.

2010-03-19 16:48

col.neo soon ?

2010-03-19 02:47

pick up cbteam! inzane team<3

2010-03-19 03:18

coL pick up wild ineters :D hahaha

2010-03-19 03:25

good move by coL..after hero left...it all went down and down.... FG or ...... H2K? :P

2010-03-19 05:49

EG -gfn +Irukandji

2010-03-19 06:22

thatd be awsome

2010-03-19 08:37

i was just thinking about this, but i've heard that lurppis is retiring at the end of this year. So instead of EG cutting someone they can just replace lurppis with Irukandji or Impulsive.

2010-03-19 19:28

About the new team,IMHO(!) they need to get under their hood a young perspective USA team like Excello or Loaded.

2010-03-19 08:29

sad news =(

2010-03-19 09:05

Why is it every time someone lists a line up its people who used to be good back in 02..? retards. LOL coLHEATON LOLOLOOL

2010-03-19 12:11

+1. that's the best they'll ever get imo.

2010-03-19 14:49

yep yep.. the best coL roster so far.

2010-03-22 12:53

evolution NineSpot Irukandji masOn hero Would be nice! :)

2010-03-19 12:21

except for the fact drew and hero dont like evolution and hero works fulltime :/

2010-03-19 12:47

Okey. The american players seem to have a very hard time getting along. :((

coL.taz coL.neo coL.Loord coL.kuben coL.pasha now ??? :)))

they have organisation from own country, thats most important for polish guys

2010-03-19 14:20

a weak orgianization. if you didnt realize the last yr neo and his sqaud couldnt find a reasonable org

2010-03-22 16:40

pick up CBTEAM! go they need a organisation

2010-03-19 13:53

coL has SHITLOADS of money, they gonna sign Na'Vi

2010-03-19 14:24

coL should pick up cbteam or Na´Vi

2010-03-19 15:48

pick Na'vi yes :) with zerogravity of course he's a perfect manager

2010-03-19 16:04

_cbteam_

2010-03-19 16:25

Navi is not needed organization now, they do not have problems with a money and journeys, find no sense to enter in coL. maybe: coL.btt coL.cogu coL.prd coL.spacca coL.ton ^_^ <3 mibr

2010-03-19 16:36

cb is online team which on lan-tournaments will not show a result

2010-03-19 16:44

the team that complexity just released was pretty much together for over a year, cbteam formed a month ago. coL also did better at events than cbteam, so all the norwegians shouldnt hold their breath for anything.

2010-03-19 17:29

Sad for Iruk emo. He's gonna rebuild another top team maybe.

2010-03-19 17:37

shud call FireGamers ~

2010-03-19 18:00

My favorite team <3 :((

2010-03-19 19:22

Hope they stick together good people

2010-03-19 19:23

If coL goes international then they should pick up Na'Vi or Fire Gamers. If they stay local then it'll most likely be Excello or Loaded since those are the only good teams in the US.

2010-03-19 19:31

Irukandji [HLTV.org] NineSpot [HLTV.org] thoMz [HLTV.org] dboorN [HLTV.org] impulsive [HLTV.org] hmmMz

hope so

2010-03-20 05:08

Or maybe NoA no2 is on papers..they will look for both usa and europe so they might make again something like that who knows

2010-03-19 23:21

wtf cbteam??

2010-03-20 00:43

cbteam going to 4Kings may be :) coL pick up new american division i think :)

2010-03-20 02:02

There goes one more American "powerhouse".

2010-03-20 04:32

coL = FG would be nice imo :)

2010-03-20 15:55

Well,that's bad for the US CS scene (which is not too good ATM).

2010-03-20 16:58

in my opinion, I think they should pick up two strong veterans and three new raw aimers. it will be nice to not only give new players a chance, but it will make the new coL unpredictable because people won't know what to expect of them if they haven't played them before.

2010-03-20 17:20

good idea, though it'll need some time before they can make some good performance... and i doubt the coL management can wait that long. I mean, it looks like J.Lake desperately want to win something ASAP :D

2010-03-22 12:59
