compLexity partner with Team TD

2-2-2011 18:10

compLexity have announced a partnership with Counter-Strike: Source organisation TargeTDown.

The deal will see the coL players wearing TargeTDown's shirt at several CSS tournaments throughout the year.

In exchange, the former FireGamers team will receive financial support to keep the coL house in São Paulo up and running.

Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo, Lincoln "fnx" Lau and Bruno "bit" Lima have all played CSS alongside Caio "zqk" Fonseca in the past, winning every tournament they attended.

With a six-man roster, TargeTDown will swap one player after every map, with the exception of Fonseca, the team's captain.

compLexity are currently preparing for the IEM5 World Championship, which will take place in Hannover from 1-5 March.

TargeTDown have the following roster:

Caio "zqk" Fonseca
Bruno "bruno" Ono
Renato "nak" Nakano
Lincoln "fnx" Lau
Gabriel "FalleN" Toledo
Bruno "bit" Fukuda

2011-02-02 18:21

whos this zqk clown. is he part of the sponsorship deal? every1 else gets swapped out except him. if thats the case: bad move imo. the original 5 was doing fine..

2011-02-02 18:22

woot

2011-02-02 18:23

dangerous, hope they'll just play CSS cause they have to, and not focus on that at all at practice.

2011-02-02 18:24

Don't get it .. They will play CSS with zqk plus CS 1.6 ? or zqk will join to play CS 1.6 with them ? ..

2011-02-03 19:29

wtf

2011-02-02 18:34

omg learn to read the news. The original 5 will play CS 1.6 While CS:Source they'll play with 4 + zqk. zqk won't play CS 1.6

no where in the statement does it say that they will or will not play cs 1.6 with zqk it is your assumption or the way you interpret the article

2011-02-02 18:38

so wait they get free t-shirts and for tht they get more money?? wtf

2011-02-02 18:44

2011-02-02 18:56

both , but they will play css with zqk and cs 1.6 with their original roster

2011-02-02 18:58

both if i am not mistaken

2011-02-02 19:08

wtf!css trash

2011-02-02 18:52

omfg they'll lose their skill zet was a good example , best of the world -> normal player because of css

2011-02-02 18:54

...........

2011-02-02 18:55

Money for the players, but very bad for their CS1.6 skills.

2011-02-02 19:00

CSS? LOL what the hell?

2011-02-02 19:01

nice,gl ;)

2011-02-02 19:06

What a fuck guyz this is not cool

2011-02-02 19:07

Great team !

2011-02-02 19:08

what a weird move oO

2011-02-02 19:08

Great deal tbh

2011-02-02 19:14

remember that financial support is to keep the house, where they practice, there they have an Internet kiosk where they team for the Games Academy graduates apartir can practice in future oblige, so I guess it's to keep the cost of the house!

2011-02-02 19:17

why not? their priority will be cs 1.6 anyway. only one thing that they get for this is more traveling around the world :)

2011-02-02 19:35

this is dumbbbb

2011-02-02 19:36

Seems a bit of a strange move to make.. Teams need to be committed 100% to either CS:S or 1.6. The same happened with the old coL (EG) team during the CGS when they started playing both games and not fully concentrating on either, they got pretty bad at both :P

2011-02-02 19:37

bad move

2011-02-02 19:38

loooooooool that sucks

2011-02-02 19:39

I don't think they will play that much source. They can win tournaments of source without even practice -> easy game. between tournaments they don't even touch CS, they just play before important tournaments. maybe they can play source in that time

2011-02-02 19:46

true, it would just suck if it threw off their game. they are long time pros for the most part though, so I'm sure they will be fine.

2011-02-02 23:09

"They can win tournaments of source without even practice -> easy game." That makes no sense..

coL > all your country, sorry

2011-02-04 00:56

what doesn't make sense is that if the game is SO EASY, how come all teams can't win? It's called competition and no matter how easy or hard the game is it's still opponents who play the exact same game, just as EASY for them. Example: Running 100meters is VERY EASY, still only one man/woman can win each race. I'm not saying that source is hard or easy, just stating the fact that it is just as hard or easy for everyone JUST LIKE IN 1.6!!!! Regards!

Just fyi I've played source before and even though getting headshots are easy cause of the sluggish models, the game isn't much of a walk in the park. For one the flashes throw you way off guard, it confuses the hell out of a 1.6 player. 2nd of all the maps are all different, you can't wallbang or throw nades the same either. So pubs might be easy but wars are pretty annoying to get used to, and without getting used to the nades or way of playing aim doesn't help much.

2011-02-25 05:24

yep source tournaments are very rare here,but source always got good sponsors and a lot of $$,that's why they did this "thing"

2011-02-03 01:59

in future they will play sc2 and quakelive , mega hiper super gaming build from 6 players , its very economical :)

2011-02-02 19:50

:S wtf bad

2011-02-02 19:55

they will play cs 1.6 and cs:s at the same time?

2011-02-02 20:12

thats bad

2011-02-02 20:16

BAD just bad

2011-02-02 20:20

they do it for the money, they need it.

2011-02-02 20:21

NICE! =D) Actually they didn't win everything in CSS, example CGS? A:DSA:

yea, but 2nd place still good, since the american teams were playing source for a while, and them (Rio Sinistro, aka brazilian CGS team) had just two months to play it since the CGS tournament

Fallen, bit and fenix have been playing CSS for a long time, and so has VIOL from MiBR and PRD/Spacca from CNB, I remember people saying that viol had to focus 100% on 1.6 to get better and prove himself at WCG, and he was the best mibr player while having more hours in source than in 1.6.

its good for them: now they will win every 1.6 and CSS tournament in Brazil, since they can play all them, they will make A GOOD money with gaming, just in Brazil but its bad for their international 1.6 scene... =/

2011-02-02 20:56

wait what? css? is col doing same shit again?

2011-02-02 21:02

2011-02-03 01:01

As Rickeh said. If you would do a proper English course, then you would get thought that organisation is the correct way to spell.

I actually have a CPE in English.

2011-02-03 11:32

you know you just said both organisation and orgazation are correct. so theres no wrong or more correct way to spell it. the only thing you shouldnt do is write few words in british english and the rest in american english. that is wrong.

2011-02-03 15:55

I know I said both are correct, but in reality, internationally spelling organisation with "Z" wouldn't that much of correct way to spell, that's why it is american english.

The thing you should know is - british english is more proper to use than american.

2011-02-07 11:19

This is so funny, I haven't stopped laughing since last night.

2011-02-02 21:09

If they will really spend time praccing CSS it will hurt their chances at international CS glory, but I hope they will just attend the css tourneys while fully spending their pracc time on 1.6.

wise descion in my opinion, css is nothing compared to 1.6 skillwise, they can win all the css tournaments in brazil while finishing 1-4 in all 1.6 tournaments is brazil = )

2011-02-02 23:20

Calm down people, they always done this, but now it's official, they just play for fun, to get easy money. I think they will not stop training 1.6, to play Source.

2011-02-02 23:39

I think its not up to them, its up to their chief-easy money 4 him and 4 the team :)

2011-02-02 23:47

they r going to suck at 1.6 source broke your 1.6 aim

2011-02-02 23:55

No way... they should focus on CS 1.6 cause now they won't have enough time for any game :o Tell what you want, but these games are completly diffrent :/ It's not CS 1.6 and Condition Zero

2011-02-02 23:58

thats bad

2011-02-03 00:07

bad move messing with a solid 5

2011-02-03 00:10

If coL pay full attention to 1.6, they can be a top5 team. They've been in the past and they really have the potential to go there again with this lineup. FalleN could bring a whole team to the top.

2011-02-03 00:23

WORST MOVE EVER! They'll finnish like zet or cogu. Source just destoryed their skills.

Dang, it looks like you guys support a bunch of source playing noobs. Always nice to see big teams give source a shot because they know its fun and they dont have an unreasonable or irrational bias against it based on little to no playing experience.
