Happy Birthday Gina!
September 17th, 2018
The compLexity Gaming family would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to Melania “Gina” Mylioti!
From an early age Gina was introduced to video games. Her family was playing mostly FPS games, so her love for that particular genre is ingrained in her upbringing. As one of the most known and fierce CS competitors she made a mark on the competitive community, as a driven and hard-working streamer she dazzled the Twitch crowd. Gina is a woman of many talents, whether it’s the competition aspect, streaming, designing or being a brand ambassador, the Greek-Dutch lady does it all.
To celebrate her birthday, Melania is running a giveaway where she will be giving away H4X swag and a HyperX headset! Enter today!
Once again, we’d like to wish a very Happy Birthday to Melania “Gina” Mylioti!

#coLDota Update
September 11th, 2018It’s been a couple of weeks since the eighth team in Dota 2’s history hoisted the coveted Aegis and rose to immortality. Even just a short time later, the wheels of the Dota community keep turning, as the quest for the next International has already begun. compLexity Gaming is committed to that pursuit, and improving upon our most recent performance. The Road to Shanghai has begun. The coL Familia is proud to announce that we will be continuing with two of our previous members, as Zakari “Zfreek” Freedman and Linus “Limmp” Blomdin have signed on for another year under the red and black banner.
Rounding out the roster are two veterans of the scene, along with some fresh blood. With Jacky “EternaLEnVy” Mao’s adventures in Southeast Asia coming to an end, he will once again plant his North American roots. The next stage in EternaLEnVy’s hunt for the ultimate prize comes as a throwback to his beginnings- as a position 5 player. Joining him from SEA is a newcomer to the international scene in Andrei “Skem” Gabriel Ong. The carry sensation is one of the best kept secrets of the SEA region and is getting ready for his first big showing in the major leagues.
To complete the roster, we are proud to welcome Jingju “Sneyking” Wu. As one of the old-school players in the North American region, Sneyking made his mark at TI for the first time in 2013 as a member of Dignitas, and followed it up again in 2014. Following an absence from the scene, Sneyking made his triumphant return in the past season, including a strong run at TI8.
