Complexity add cxzi and nicx

9-1-2025 22:30

Complexity have opted for homegrown talent to replenish their roster.

Complexity have announced the additions of Danny "⁠Cxzi⁠" Strzelczyk and Nick "⁠nicx⁠" Lee, confirming a recent Dust2.us report and completing their roster after the recent departures of Jonathan "⁠EliGE⁠" Jablonowski and Ricky "⁠floppy⁠" Kemery.

Complexity part ways with EliGE

The moves represent a significant rebuilding of Complexity's starting lineup following a year of tepid results in international competition, the latest of which saw the team exit Perfect World Shanghai Major in the Opening Stage.

floppy was benched by Complexity soon after said Major, before star rifler EliGE departed amidst rumours of a move to FaZe. In replacing them, Complexity have opted for homegrown talent.

Sources: FaZe in advanced discussions with EliGE

Cxzi has been a journeyman in North America for nearly five years, most-recently playing alongside Joshua "⁠steel⁠" Nissan in ESEA Advanced Season 48, where Undone secured promotion to ESL Challenger League through Relegation with Cxzi averaging a 1.27 rating over 10 maps.

nicx is a far less experienced talent, only making his ESL Challenger League debut in Season 45. He spent the last year playing for LAG, with whom he averaged a 1.12 rating and won Fragadelphia Philadelphia at the start of 2024. He recently trialed for Nouns before drawing interest from Complexity.

Complexity are now:

Johnny "⁠JT⁠" Theodosiou
Håkon "⁠hallzerk⁠" Fjærli
Michael "⁠Grim⁠" Wince
Danny "⁠Cxzi⁠" Strzelczyk
Nick "⁠nicx⁠" Lee

Tiaan "⁠T.c⁠" Coertzen (coach)

2025-01-09 22:33

Too bad they won’t make a major anymore

2025-01-10 05:22

The best news is the back to the OLD LOGO.

2025-01-09 22:32

who wouldve thought... jason Lake makin an L move :c

I dont mind 1 gamble and like one veteran player. Thats why they shoudlve gotten stew

Complexity add who and who?

I mean, hope they succeed, i dont really see it happen tho , but it would be cool for col to stay competitive even with some lesser known names

Never forget when cxzi got kicked from strife for playing a match drunk thats the goat

2025-01-09 22:34

even though it was 2 years ago, it's nice to have someone who really embellishes our culture

2025-01-09 22:40

Considering you meant embody not embellish, seems you're also embodying the culture! ;P

2025-01-10 01:02

just doing my part o7

2025-01-10 02:01

Probably the best he could do since Complexity is broke. Hope to see them do well.

What happened to them? Did they lose some important sponsor or what? I have always thought that Jason is a wealthy dude himself.

2025-01-10 12:10

Complexity used to be owned by the dallas cowboys sports team, but a while ago Jason Lake bought complexity back from them for a reason i cant remember. Their budget got significantly smaller.

2025-01-10 13:59

Wasn't it to do with a conflict of interest since the owners also owned another org (faze? I don't remember which)

2025-01-10 15:08

Yes. That sounds very familiar.

2025-01-10 15:17

ty men

2025-01-10 16:44

GameSquare used to operate CoL, the same company that currently operates FaZe. ESL or someone came out and said that you can’t do that anymore because it MIGHT cause a conflict of interest. So Jason Lake spent a lot of money to buy Complexity back, so it’s basically him running the show with no Dallas Cowboys or GameSquare money, just him.

2025-01-10 15:21

Thanks

who and who ?

Best COL could of done on getting NA players. Really hope they work out and can preform

Could have or could've. Could of is wrong.

2025-01-09 23:57

USA! USA! USA!

2025-01-11 01:15

and therefore we can say that wildcard is top 2 north american team rn

damn

Good bye top 30 But NICE old logo back!!

2025-01-09 22:37

wow, an alcoholic on pro team.

Hell yeah

2025-01-11 00:32

good luck! i'll be rooting for y'all, forever!

2025-01-09 22:38

Well deserved, both nuts players

Dead team

Exciting stuff, hope to see them surprise! Cxzi always seemed good from outside perspective so hopefully on a team like this he can shine.

2025-01-09 22:41

wh OMEGALUL. good luck, i guess, coL

All non NA people 'trash talking' the roster, but I'm excited to see how they develop

T2 ready

It's over for coL

2025-01-09 22:42

Remember when Jason Lake use to bully fRoD? Good times.

Complexity downgrade need to be studied

hallzerk has dirt on them

2025-01-09 22:47

Where is floppy going?

2025-01-09 22:49

Welcome BOSS' newest addition, Floppy!

2025-01-09 23:54

col gm said he is taking a break

2025-01-10 01:59

Hallzerk could be in a better team than whatever this is. Like fnatic +hallzerk could be something decent

We went from -Hallzerk to improve the team to -Hallzerk to save him from the team :(

2025-01-09 22:55

na scene completely in shambles

2025-01-10 01:15

I saw the flag and i just thought ‘Official: Faze add Elige’ and now im disappointed

I'm glad Complexity are focusing on NA talent again. It's about time such a storied org uses its power to revive the scene. I believe in the dream that, while NA's promises gain power, Complexity will gain power too. They can all improve at the same time. With the right set of people, I believe they can pull it off and be winning again with a true grassroots NA roster. I'll be cheering for that. GL coL!

2025-01-09 22:52

there were better to keep na core tbh sadly this new col will downfall

2025-01-09 23:01

Sad

2025-01-09 23:12

There is a lot of youngtalents and decides to grab cxzi WHAT ON EARTH

This is just sad at this point

2025-01-09 23:19

By the way, 25th team for cxzi, 25 the magic number

2025-01-09 23:20

25 is also the amount of beers he will have before his first match

2025-01-10 09:58

I like that they turned to NA talent, maybe they should have tried to buy insani, but probably too expensive. I certainly wish them luck

COL will be the first (and only) male team that loses to a female team in one of the upcoming mixed tourneys :D

2025-01-09 23:32

Stewie was RIGHT THERE dude

2025-01-09 23:41

team is doomed without RUSH

2025-01-09 23:47

They certainly don’t need a third firepower downgrade

2025-01-10 00:47

They need a veteran, also anything in place of floppy is a firepower downgrade but the two new additions are still decent

2025-01-10 00:56

the NA cope can never be matched anywhere or by anyone on this planet XD

2025-01-10 00:59

Name

They do not need a veteran. Grim has been in tier 1 for three years.

2025-01-10 01:27

Save JT

2025-01-10 00:13

Why are their names so strangely similar

2025-01-10 00:17

cxzi is famous for getting kicked for showing to a match drunk

2025-01-10 00:27

Just keep floppy at this point lol

2025-01-10 00:39

-Polish guy +Polish guy Polska Gurom I guess

2025-01-10 00:52

fat toxic lazy alcoholic and nouns reject noname yea this org is just doomed lol

2025-01-10 00:58

Complexity will never play in tier1 again

2025-01-10 01:12

Hallzerk bangers incoming!

2025-01-10 01:29

-65% firepower. iorascal and others from na defending tho so we'll see...

2025-01-10 01:34

nicx has some potential but he has a long way to go

2025-01-10 01:37

Respect to coL for trying new faces in NA and comitting to the scene. I'm not expecting a lot of outstanding results, but if it happens I'll be happy

back to the fang and junior era

2025-01-10 02:24

It's so over

2025-01-10 02:42

Is Hallzerk the awp carry now? RIP Col

Southside alcoholic goes pro ? inspiration for so many

2025-01-10 05:32

solid tier3-4

2025-01-10 06:51

Is complexity seriously this out of money when they have to take these two shitters? You could have gotten Jorge

2025-01-10 06:55

He just signed with NRG

2025-01-10 10:14

Kinda expected it tbh. Complexity is broke af with today 's standards that you need at least 1 million to sign a good player. It's bad for us, coL fans byt it is what it is. Jason might need to find sponsors

2025-01-10 06:56

You can get food players (for NA standards) easy on the free market/pay small amount for buyout. You can take K0nfig, REZ was available, h4rn is available, even Stewie2k is better than those guys.
