Irukandji makes coL return

27-7-2010 23:45

compLexity have announced that Andrew "Irukandji" Timmerman has returned to their Counter-Strike department.

The American side failed to impress at Arbalet Cup Dallas, crashing out of the tournament in the second group stage after finishing behind Natus Vincere and BURNING.

Timmerman returns to the team he left in March following a frustrating fourth-placed finish at the ESEA Season 5 Finals.

He donned the colours of Immortal7 and High Rollers Gaming after that, and represented iDemise in Dallas earlier this month, with his performances earning him a ticket back to his former home.

The former x3o player will fill the shoes of Scott "evolution" Cavallero, who has been relieved of his duties. His gaming future is unknown, but it looks likely he will join another team in the future.

Meanwhile, compLexity have announced that they will soon announce their last player for the WCG qualifiers, as French veteran David "Xp3" Garrido is unable to compete for the team.

compLexity now have:

David "Xp3" Garrido
Thomas "thoMz" Garcia
Derek "dboorN" Boorn
Jeff "hero" Mettetal
Andrew "Irukandji" Timmerman

Irukandji is a strat caller. Evo is an awper. They don't really compare.

So they were playing without a real igl during AC Dallas?

2010-07-27 23:50

yeah but Xp3 is leading so irukandji will play as simple player right? Or will he take the lead?

2010-07-27 23:54

For WCG he will take the lead as Xp3 will not be able to attend. Beyong that event, who knows.

yeah but #3 compared the players for their skill only and since they didn't remove Xp3 I guess he will remain the leader

2010-07-28 00:02

Actually as far as I see it #3 did a weird comparison as the players do not even do the same nor handle the same weapons usually.

2010-07-28 00:13

Never tell your password to anyone. July-27-10 4:13 PM - Blaz3r: so are you calling or is xp3? 4:14 PM - iRUKANDJI: me

false info....its already been stated by coL that XP3 will remain their strat caller, and drew will only take over when he dies etc. (and prolly for WCG too obv.)

2010-07-28 14:09

irukandji is a beast rifler i dunno why you just label him a strat caller like he cant frag or something. Did you even watch his Arbalet performance? Even Lurppis said in an interview that the only way coL was able to beat EG was when they had Drew calling anti-stratting them... hes an incredibly smart player and can bring momentum to any team he is on... who needs another awper when you have heroCBCB

2010-07-27 23:50

evolution has a great movie but he's never been good enough at professional level, we've seen this several times. iru >> evo when considering value in a team

Join a finnish team dude, you play alot like we do, with pz going to army and you coming in we could see a possibilty for a great lineup, maybe conte back in cause he'd love to play with your style cs. Then maybe add some of these swedes. BASiC, Delpan, BARBARR, evolution, tentpole Edit: OR ofc Delpan, contE, evolution, BASiC and threat

2010-07-27 23:52

O_O what a news...

2010-07-27 23:53

Should have cut Xp3 and kept evo, that would have made a great roster for WCG and just a solid roster overall. Xp3 hasnt done shit as of late. If EG drops gfn and picks up irukandji they will dominate. And if they want to completely dominate they will drop lurrpis and pick up dboorn. frod n0thing storm dboorn irukandji WHAT A SICK FUCKING TEAM

irukandji can lead just as well as lurrpis however irukandji can attend WCG with the team and irukandji has a newer style of play compared to lurrpis

id rather see EG.frod EG.nothing EG.lurppis EG.storm EG.irukandji think of the minds of drew and tomi together directing the insane aim of frod and nothing and then storm will clutch anything that needs clutching.

nice choose gl in the future boy

2010-07-28 00:02

wowww this is amazing , irukandji is sick player , yeah at least coL is my favorite American team with iRUKaNDji!

2010-07-28 00:02

I wonder why they did not keep evolution and decide after WCG what to do....

2010-07-28 00:02

probably Loaded evolution

2010-07-28 00:04

Nice :) Irukandji is really good.

2010-07-28 00:31

Stupid move, this is the second time evo's been cut from coL. Wasn't Irukanji dropped due to his school commitments? I'm guessing this has changed. Lurppis did say that EG was looking for a 5th for WCG so Evolution would fit right in.

Xp3, french citizenship... but honestly when they use someone else for WCG i could definitely see them keepin that person over Xp3... he hasn't been playin well for coL. and apparently hero and dboorn didn't want to play with evolution or Xp3, but they decided to keep Xp3 over evolution.

2010-07-28 01:05

Should have kept evo and cut xp3

2010-07-28 01:18

Xp3 > evo > drew. Drew sucks, he was holding coL back then and will continue to now. Fail move.

2010-07-28 01:22

IRUKANDJI BEAST !

2010-07-28 01:38

I called this during Arbalet/ESEA finals, he was too good of a player to let go and a stupid decision by Complexity.

2010-07-28 01:48

evo is a great player, i heard he has an attitude problem but I would not know. I would like to see him maybe replace lurppis when he goes back to finland forever. Evo,frod,n0thing,gfn,storm. would be a solid team plus evo would probably enjoying playing with alot of great players and people that might not go behind his back.

2010-07-28 02:00

...why would they cut evolution instead of Xp3? Ever since they picked up Xp3 he's been doing nothing but bottom fragging at every tournament and making stupid decisions to hold the team down. Irukandji is a strat caller, and Xp3 is a strat caller. Makes no sense that they didn't drop the existing strat caller in the team to make room for him. But like everyone has said before, they shouldn't have dropped him in the first place.

2010-07-28 02:01

evolution and xp3 we found out couldnt keep up with the rest of col on lan. we know irukandji can. xp3 and evo been playing poor

2010-07-28 02:04

evo is the man

2010-07-28 02:07

evolution and thomz were their best players lol

2010-07-28 02:10

drew stratcalls and he can frag... actually when the team first started he was col's best player.

2010-07-28 03:01

Deal is dboorn and hero are bitches and don't like xp3 and evo. So they want him cut and Jax gets up from their dicks just to say sure. I have always felt evolution is one of the best US players and was one of the few reasons I became a col fan.

2010-07-28 03:14

thomz is their best player, hltv.org/?pageid=188&matchid=3403&eventi.. or hltv.org/?pageid=188&matchid=3617&eventi..

2010-07-28 03:45

imo they should of replaced xp3 instead of evolution, since xp3 is known as the "in-game" leader strat caller, they're going to be having 2 with Irukandji coming back, evolution is a fragger, i rather have a fragger than 2 strat callers...

2010-07-28 04:00

Everyone at this level is a good player, I think it's more dependent on roles...they want a strat caller and a midgame caller, so they have picked up drew to fill that role. Why I don't have a problem with being replaced from any team, the manner in which it was done (both times) was rather annoying. I'd prefer to hear from my teammates that I'm being removed rather than getting a call out of the blue from our manager. Either way, no hard feelings, lifes too short to hold grudges =D

They shouldnt replace evo, they should replace Xp3 with irukandji, not with aZn I think replacing evo is a bad move, anyway gl

2010-07-28 15:08

evo's a really experienced player, he's flexible and smart, and has great aim. i just don't think he ever fit in with the team. i never felt that he was able to perform alone as well as the rest of his teammates, like having to hold a bombsite by himself. hes a great study of the game and communicator, but i never saw him being a big team player/impact player in comparison to the others. its a fact that drew is all of those things and more. as for aZn...well if he can get back in form and mesh well enough then its going to be a sick move for the team (at least for WCG). dboorn was able to make a big comeback, so i'll give aZn the benefit of the doubt.
