compLexity announces new team

26-3-2010 00:32

Last week we reported about compLexity disbanding their Counter-Strike 1.6 team. Today we see the organization fill up their ranks.

The compLexity organization stated that they had struggled to find a consistent roster over the past year, and that the former line-up lacked the championship passion and chemistry which defines the compLexity name.

compLexity today announced the introduction of their new roster, where we see Boorn and Garcia who were a part of the team which was disbanded last week, followed by the two former Loaded players - David "Xp3" Garrido and Scott "evolution" Cavallero. Last but not least is the former x3o star, Jeff "hero" Mettetal.

In this exclusive interview with HLTV.org, David "Xp3" Garrido talks about teaming up with three new players, joining forces with compLexity, Loaded and more.

Sure, like i said before i havent played with them but i played a couple of times against them so i know them really well im gonna present them one by one .

Gonna start with hero , Jeff is known in the US scene for hes ability with an AWP so he will be our primary awper on the team , ive seen him play and hes really good with it so i think hes gonna be a key player on our team .

Second thoMz , he played with hero and dboorn for a long time now and hes pretty solid with every guns in game also i forgot to mension but him and jeff have a pretty good communication in game wich is very important ,

And the last one dboorN , for me derek is the guy capable of anything in any situation he has such an huge aim so he can win any situation during a round , he can get some crazy headshots to unlock us a situation during a round and make is team win .

Im really looking foward to start playing with them !

First off - congratulations with your new home, compLexity. How does it feel being taken into a prominent organization such as coL?

Feels great and I’m really excited to represent coL in the future. I hope to bring them some good titles. coL has been around and on top for so many years now I hope I can make them stay there for a while

You were last seen playing for Loaded with the likes of evolution and dijbouti, with who you placed third at the ESEA Season 5 LAN finals. Could you tell us a bit about joining forces with compLexity and the three new teammates?

Sure, I played a couple of times against them so I know them really well. I’ll present them one by one:

I’ll start with hero. Jeff is known in the US scene for his ability with an AWP so he will be our primary awper on the team. I’ve seen him play and he’s really good with it so I think he’s going to be a key player on our team.

Second is thoMz. He played with hero and dboorn for a fairly long time now and he’s pretty solid with every gun in game. In addition, he and Jeff have pretty good communication in game which is very important.

And the last one is dboorN. For me Derek is the guy capable of anything in any situation. He has such great aim he can win any situation during a round. He can get some crazy headshots to unlock a situation during a round and make the team win.
I’m really looking forward to start playing with them
Have you guys set any primary goals?

Of course our goal is going to be like every top team’s goal: we’re going to try to win everything!

Looking back on Loaded. How was your stay with the organization, and how do you feel on departing your old teammates?

My short stay in Loaded was great. They did everything we asked so thanks again to them.

It s always sad quitting a team for another cause first of all my old teammates from Loaded are my friends so yes its always kind of hard and it hurts a little bit. But it’s just CS and they understand my move and still support me so good luck to them and thanks for everything!

What is on the team's schedule this year?

We gonna start practicing for the new ESEA season. It gives us good matches online against the best U.S. teams. Then I think we’re going to bootcamp before the Dreamhack summer event and then we’ll probably stay two weeks in Sweden after Dreamhack to bootcamp against Euro teams and to get ready for the ESWC in France. We will probably attend the Gamegune in Bilbao, Spain in mid July , and after that there will still be a lot of events we will attend so we have a pretty awesome year coming up.

The stage is yours, Garrido!

I just wanted to add some shoutouts to our sponsors , Creative , XFX , QPad and g8 clothing and also shoutouts to Alex "Jax" Conroy and Jason Lake. Thanks for believing in us guys- you will be proud of us! Also shoutouts to my new teammates Jeff , Thomas, Derek and Scott!

The new compLexity representatives:

Scott "evolution" Cavallero
David "Xp3" Garrido
Thomas "thoMz" Garcia
Derek "dboorN" Boorn
Jeff "hero" Mettetal

As Garrido stated, they have a heavy schedule for 2010. Stay locked on our website for any updates regarding compLexity and their new team.

lol? dboorn was on of their most solid playerS?

2010-03-26 05:50

It's good that idiots (like you) always give some opinions about the players additions or removals even BEFORE they have played a single official match. edit: gl hero u're good

2010-03-26 22:47

hey, it's just my opinion, i don't think that he will do well in this team.. impulsive should be a good replace for them, he was doing quite well in his last tournament.. you don't have to be so rude:/

2010-03-27 00:27

A solid Team gl & hf :]

2010-03-26 00:43

nice to see hero back I always thought he was the best player in their previous lineups

2010-03-26 00:45

aie aie aie gooooooooo :D

2010-03-26 00:46

dunno,good new team,but I think they're still second...

2010-03-26 00:48

solid lineup it seems to be.. have to wait until we see them play :D

2010-03-26 00:49

gl coL <3 xp3!!!

2010-03-26 00:50

HARD

2010-03-26 00:51

Xp3 ftw

2010-03-26 00:53

Child labour :S j/k

2010-03-26 00:56

Honestly im not that in in the US cs pro scene, is this lineup better than the old one?

2010-03-26 00:54

5 replies

new one is better :P

2010-03-26 00:58

2010-03-26 01:02

Not only better they can own EG easily

2010-03-26 13:39

now that, sir, is hilarious. good joke

2010-03-26 21:28

Of course i mean they can beat them after practice they'll obviously fail if they play against them now they are like a mix

2010-03-26 21:50

problematic lineup to WCG, because Xp3 is not american.

well they have to get good enough to beat EG, so first things first ahy? hehe

2010-03-26 01:47

I think he has an American citizenship aswell so I guess it'll work just fine.

2010-04-15 14:41

New coL > old coL :) Really good lineup , looking forward to see what damage they can make in european scene and can they win EG :P hero crazy awp player. evolution speak's for him self. Xp3 ? come on.. The best in game leader around. dboorN and thoMz ? hmm maybe they needed to bring better aimers than dboorN and thoMz , but they aren't bad :) Goodluck guys!!! :)

dboorN is the best aimer there and you say they need to replace it? Nice comment

Ive been watching NA scene for some time already and i pretty much can say I know much more about it than you do. And yes, ive been watching them for a long time and derek IS the best aimer there.

yes,hes the best aimer there no doubt

2010-03-26 01:22

maybe he is , maybe he isn't time will tell :P

When he's on he is a really sick aimer. He just chokes on lan sometimes.

2010-03-26 01:31

:D :PP

dboorn and thomz are equal if not, in my opinion, greater aimers than n0thing and storm. evolution can beat frods awp and still has better rifle skills besides that, and then hero can match frods awp, and xp3 is in my opinion the best player playing in north america right now.

2010-03-26 18:53

you sir, sound biased. evo > frod with awp? really?..... really?

2010-03-26 21:30

+1, anyone who says dboorN needs to be reaplced is kinda dumb actually, his aim is by far the best in coL gl

2010-03-26 09:50

yes dboorN is their best aimer.

2010-03-26 02:25

I am not saying that he is bad , but he isn't very good:P

2010-03-26 02:29

but in the US, he's one of the best.

2010-03-26 09:30

you dont know a shit, so stop posting stupid comments and stop pretending that you know what you're talking about.

2010-03-26 12:02

omg stfu plzz

2010-03-26 15:12

:DDD

2010-03-26 19:11

Take it easy. Thank you.

2010-03-26 17:59

sick line up!

haha another north american team with european in game leader

2010-03-26 01:01

pretty nice lineup, wasn't expecting it. idk if they can overcome EG though...

2010-03-26 01:09

Irukandji > thoMz

yes , but Irukandji is a ingame leader :/ But there is no problem to play with 2 ingame leaders , because fnatic play with threat and cArn and they are playing very good :P

2010-03-26 01:18

and EG with gfn and lurppis

2010-03-26 11:26

that's actually why the original coL was such a great team as well. warden & tr1p were both great in-game leaders and motivators. i still don't think that any new coL team can surpass the achievements of the original.

2010-03-26 21:33

They are not..

2010-04-15 14:42

nice xp3 :))) fast progression since he leaved france

wish adreniline wulda made the cut. but who could u replace? Great job complexity and good luck

2010-03-26 01:29

The team looks really good on paper, I'm just sad that drew isn't in the coL line-up anymore. Also, I hope evolution won't feel threatend by the fact that hero is the #1 awper.

You think? I'm not surprised at all they got rid of him, and I think it's a good move. Just judging from the interviews and a bit of what I've seen in-game.. which may sound stupid, but as J Lake said, one of the main reasons for releasing them was they couldn't get along with the rest of the organization. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IvO1vWuudU www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7fcfWO7m2o I just don't think this is how a player should behave infront of the team camera. Maybe he thinks he's funny or it's some kind of his trademark and he behaves like this all day, but I guess it was one of the reasons why he was fired, so.. yeah.

2010-03-26 08:59

Won't go anywhere.

Skill wise its a good roster. No body is really a weak player. I'm kind of confused about hero and evolution though. Hero I thought was too busy for cs and evolution has a bad attitude? I dunno I see a roster change coming soon, but well see.

2010-03-26 01:42

exactly...he said he's earning 100,000 (if I am not wrong :) and he had a promotion..so he doesn't have time for cs.... I wonder what made him leave old coL..... though this new team is super high on skill....EG lookout..

2010-03-26 06:18

I didn't read all the post so forgive me if this has already been discussed... but didn't hero retire from coL only a few months ago because he got some high paying, time consuming job that meant he couldn't dedicate enough time to cs? What happened? Did he lose his job, or is he just gonna try juggle both?

2010-03-26 01:51

according to coL's website: "When the opportunity to join this roster presented itself Jeff decided to scale back his dual city work responsibilities to one location so that he has the time to focus on the team and its several planned boot camps." complexitygaming.com/index.php?c=news&id..

2010-04-15 14:45

Doubt they can take EG down

2010-03-26 02:06

Xp3 :). GL complexity.

2010-03-26 02:17

gl coL but EG's still unstoppable.

2010-03-26 02:44

Will miss Irukandji a lot... Although the roster looks pretty decent, it doesn't mean shit unless they stick together with this lineup for at least a half year and not fuck around.

2010-03-26 03:34

Stupid moves. dRew's roster was good with savi0r and hero whereas they kicked them thinking they'll improve but they failed and they have been kicked by Jason lake. Xp3 loaded's roster was good and they break it too. What about training instead of changing players every month?

2010-03-26 03:38

sad for Irukandji -thomz +Iru I think :D

2010-03-26 03:41

evolution is really jumping on different bandwagons every time a team needs a new player.

2010-03-26 03:42

the new hostile

2010-03-26 09:26

evolution isn't going to last unless he changes his attitude in a major way. i'm really critical of him, but it's only because i see his potential and how his ego is crippling it. hopefully a second chance is all he needs to get his head straight.

2010-03-26 21:39

Can say the same for moddii?

2010-03-26 23:57

moddii is worse. he's a teenager and can't keep his emotions under control which is actually sad because he's such a great player.

2010-03-29 13:43

interesting sqaud i expect evo to stand out

2010-03-26 04:05

Irukandji? :( sad...

2010-03-26 04:10

adrenaline[1g] :(

2010-03-26 04:34

#42 Jeff decided to scale back his dual city work responsibilities to one location so that he has the time to focus on the team Irukandji is focused on school I think, thats why he didn't join, or else im sure he would.

gl compLexity good lineup =)

2010-03-26 08:31

nice

2010-03-26 08:36

nice! I hoped xp3 would join col gl to them

2010-03-26 08:45

Irukandji is a good player I dont know why they dont keep him but I think they make another mistake... this team can't defeat eg or any top team.

2010-03-26 10:01

yeah really nice move for Xp3, but 3 awps in the same team is really hard to manage :)

2010-03-26 10:02

It was quite expected for them to join complexity however it is nice to see this new shining lineup,I have feel that they gonna be awesome :D otherwise I think that Xp3 should be the main awper, evolution proved that he can pwn with every weapon, and so on... gl guys!!!

2010-03-26 10:30

coL>EG!

2010-03-26 10:44

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

2010-03-26 11:25

what's funny? this coL would own EG easily

2010-03-26 13:37

good joke lol.

2010-03-26 21:41

NO IRUKANDJI NO WIN

2010-03-26 11:35

sick line up! go evo!

2010-03-26 11:43

Evo is going to be sickkk :D love that player awesome aim with awp :) GO COL best lineup

2010-03-26 12:50

He isn't going to be AWPing. Did you even read the interview?

2010-03-26 13:12

sry my bad i did not read the post :D anyway i think he is a better awp player than hero :) can't wait for there first match

2010-03-27 09:51

sad for irukanji =(

2010-03-26 12:55

Irukandji > thoMz guys..

2010-03-26 14:24

-thomz +irukandji

2010-03-26 14:41

This lineup is great! I'm looking forward to see them in action

2010-03-26 15:43

evolution wont be the primary awper of d team... wat a joke... scott is the best awper//

2010-03-26 15:54

evolution, nice

2010-03-26 16:00

-dboorn + irukandji thomz/adrenaline

2010-03-26 16:01

drew wasnt the most professional guy in the world, not gonna lie. awesome player tho, so kinda sucks for him. i think lurp's a better caller than xp3, but everyone on the new lineup is honestly insane. EG eat your heart out :p

im just happy it wasnt xlo ROFL, team looks solid with 5 good fraggers and having hero back is a biggy just gotta wait to see the new chemistry and what tactics they use

2010-03-26 16:41

GL to all of them, hope they can do a great job at tournaments.

2010-03-26 16:42

evolution! YAY!

2010-03-26 17:18

-Xp3 +impulsivE

2010-03-26 17:56

Gl Xp3!

2010-03-26 18:17

i hope EG gets adreniline.dt for wcg

2010-03-26 18:39

i'm pretty sure they're keeping tuBBy for wcg. he did good with eg last wcg; and now with gfn, they should really put on a show.

2010-03-26 21:43

they play for col in few days and you did a changes in line up already dxxaxax

2010-03-26 18:52

GL CoL. :)

2010-03-26 22:44

#109 the old coL lineup played for over a year

2010-03-27 02:48

dboorn is online only, should of kept impulsive. old col was better.

2010-03-27 11:19

lol you been living under a rock or something rofl?

2010-03-27 11:25

Good luck in the future! Btw, imo, great job was done in making a decision to pick up evolution!

2010-03-27 20:26

its a shame irukandji couldnt make the team work wen he had evolution and hero. now he cant be on this roster cause of that. and irukandji is top 10 in the usa.

2010-03-27 21:27

they can try!!! " ? "

2010-03-28 01:13

Well thr r many opinions n predictions ppl r having ab8 d new team but we know the new team merged up with good players and looks like we'll be hearing ab8 them in d news soon
