Complexity add mithR as temporary coach for FISSURE Playground 1 and IEM Cologne

11-7-2025 00:05

"It's just a short term joining of forces as he also continues to explore his own opportunities," Complexity's General Manager says.

Complexity will have Torbjørn "⁠mithR⁠" Nyborg standing behind them as their coach for FISSURE Playground 1 and IEM Cologne, the organization has announced.

The Danish skipper has been absent from competition since he departed Liquid in March ahead of the addition of Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek, and will return on a temporary basis to aid Complexity in their first events after the tournament break.

"Whilst we continue to interview and lock down our long term coach, mithR will accompany us for the upcoming FISSURE and IEM Cologne events," Complexity's General Manager, Graham "⁠messioso⁠" Pitt, said in a post on X.

"As this is temporary I am still exploring my options," mithR added.

Liquid part ways with mithR

The Dane joined a dilapidated Liquid mid-way through 2024, looking to assist Russel "⁠Twistzz⁠" Van Dulken in his transition to in-game leading and turn around a period of torrid results.

However, the team continued to struggle and bowed out just before the playoffs at several Big Events, with their most notable result seeing them reach the quarter-final of the Perfect World Shanghai Major.

Complexity have been without a full-time coach since dismissing Tiaan "⁠T.c⁠" Coertzen in March, temporarily using messioso at a few events before Eric "⁠adreN⁠" Hoag came in as an interim coach for the BLAST.tv Austin Major alongside substitute Paytyn "⁠junior⁠" Johnson.

Complexity's roster for FISSURE Playground 1 and IEM Cologne is:

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

Torbjørn "⁠mithR⁠" Nyborg (coach)

TBF that'd be pretty fuckin good considering the Complexity Org. 10+ would be wild af. Really would come down to Grim keeping up his current form.

No it wouldn’t be good. Just because we’re bad doesn’t mean we have to settle for the worst results. Col had that run at Bucharest and beat 5 top 10 teams. Col clearly has the quality to be elite and not just first out. Show some spirit and grit man you’re just making us look sad

This ain't settling this is called realistic expectations. You're the one smokin if you think they'll be able to consistently place 2nd-4th at T1 events (Thats how you get Top 8 btw).

With the inconsistencies of the current roster, consistent top 8 would be a miracle. I'd expect 9th/10th being their ceiling.

For FISSURE, they have chance to even win it. And for Cologne, I think they have decent chance for 9-12th place depending on seeding. Like if you look at current Stage 2 teams: G2 new team with new system, Aurora without Xantares, NaVi???

NaVi have more than enough quality to beat CoL.

They have, but its not impossible for CoL to win against these teams.

It would have to go pretty disastrous for NaVi to drop the ball, and it would have to go pretty well for for Col, meaning nicx doesn't drop the ball hard, JT does his fragging, and ALL of Cxzi, hallzerk, and Grim hitting

Besides, only G2 are actually bad here and that is if malbs and heavygod don't lock in. Aurora still has Woxic, wicadia and jottaaa can pop tf off. Navi is still a top 6-8 team in the world and could realistically be top 4/5 on their day.

2025-07-11 08:19

Yep, youre right here. Although CoL have the POSSIBILITY of beating someone like an Aurora or G2 or whoever in the top 10, the only way it realistically happens is if they play badly. Now if you were to say, they could beat a VP or an Astralis or another team near that level to secure a 9-12th finish, that's a different story

2025-07-11 13:43

No fr, I'd take COL with big zerk over VP any day. Idk about asstralis, they did look decent against spirit at Astana

Having stand-in coaches now is crazy.

2025-07-11 00:54

Sick bois merchant is back

2025-07-11 01:00

Guys, be open-minded, Mithr had more than one cheer line : "Sick bois" "Let's fucking go bois" "Nice fucking round bois" "Sick Justin" "Sick russ" Also, he is well-known for his shoulder massage. COL will win Cologne.

2025-07-11 01:23

The devs didn't gave a shit when they programmed his NPC's lines

2025-07-11 05:21

Rush development from an indie company. It is normal. Valve has many projects like improving the visuals of skins. This NPC was supposed to be an exclusive character of one particular season, but he keep going back season after season.

2025-07-11 08:01

I think they need to fix this before anticheat and 128 tick

2025-07-11 08:18

I personally like seeing mithr on stage so I hope this works out.

2025-07-11 01:26

He should thank kyxsan for securing him a job for like 3 years

2025-07-11 01:58

Flag + sign up date.

2025-07-11 05:10

You do not deserve the name. The always say flag, never say I'm wrong

2025-07-11 05:14

Not like Liquid got better when he was dropped, siuhy came on board, or DeMars DeRover interim coached so I'm willing to let this cook. If anything, he's at least entertaining though.
