The compLexity Gaming family would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to Adrian Piedra!
Adrian Piedra is a Clash Royale pro from Villahermosa Tabasco, Mexico. He began playing Clash Royale during the game’s release when his best friend introduced him to it. Adrian played regularly while he overcame a back injury, which gave him the time required to play at a competitive level. He is considered one of the best players in the game, and has dominated competitions in Latin America as well as around the world. Adrian’s list of accomplishments include 2nd Place CCGS LATAM Spring Season, 1st Place CCGS LATAM Fall Season, 5-8th Place CCGS World Finals, 5th Place King’s Cup, and is a member of the Mexican National Team.
Once again, we’d like to wish a very Happy Birthday to Adrian Piedra!
In our 15 year history we have been the home of some of the most legendary players in esports history. Over time, many players leave, but in our case, many of them return as well. It’s our pleasure to introduce two returning members to the active Dota 2 roster, as Adam “Adam” Shah and David “Moonmeander” Tan link up with Zfreek, Moo and Limmp for the final push towards The International 8.
For Moon it’s the return to his roots. Moon was an instrumental part of the fairytale story that was our run at The International 5 back in 2015, after which he chose to part ways to pursue a venture which became Team OG. Throughout his competitive history, Moon has always remained close with the organization through friendships established during his time here.
The second man to return, this time as a player, is Adam “Adam” Shah, who served as a coach for the squad prior to The International 7. Adam’s leadership and tactical prowess in Dota 2 make him the perfect fit to fill that void left after the removal of long time captain Kyle Freedman. The Malaysian strategist and former Fnatic player/coach looks to be the final puzzle piece for the team, putting the team on track for The International.
With Adam and Moon joining the team, some roles will be shuffled around as well. While Adam will simply take over the 5 position that was vacant, Moon will take over the offlane role, prompting yet another return – Moo to carry. In previous iterations, Moo has played the 1 position in compLexity and once more it is time for him to take control from the safe lane.
Sadly, with new arrivals come sad goodbyes, as we have to announce the departure of Rasmus “Chessie” Blomdin from the Dota 2 roster. He is now a free agent and immediately available for other competitive opportunities. Just like Moon, Chessie has been a part of this organization multiple times, dating all the way back to HoN in 2012 when Chessie played alongside teammate MoonMeander at the infamous HoN Tour Las Vegas event.
“It’s been a pretty crazy year with compLexity! A lot of things have happened since I joined after TI. We’ve had a super packed schedule with a lot of travels all year and pretty much haven’t had any time off, and on top of that we moved out of our team house in Florida and relocated to new facilities in Texas.
As much as it sucks to leave all of this behind, at the end of the day we didn’t get the results we had hoped for and the team felt these changes were necessary to increase the chances to qualify for TI which I respect. This is a business and your livelihood, and to stay on top sometimes you need to make tough decisions. No hard feelings at all, it is what it is. I will definitely keep playing Dota. I feel good about my skill level and will be looking for a new team with new adventures as soon as possible.
Big thanks to Jason Lake, Beef, Josh and my teammates for the good times. compLexity is without a doubt one of the absolute best organizations in the business and I am very grateful to have been a part of it on and off for the last few years!”
– Rasmus “Chessie” Blomdin
We thank Rasmus for his time spent here and for the great memories, as well as the best of luck in the future!

The compLexity family would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to Zakari “Zfreek” Freedman as he turns 24 today!
Perhaps one of the best players in HoN history, ZfreeK has made a career in the shadows of other big names. As a jungle player and support his actions would be expected to remain in the background, yet Zfreek’s skills showed off a new potential in his positions. With stellar play on multiple teams and in multiple roles ZfreeK has earned himself a spot in the elite player group. His consistency and dedication to learning a game inside and out are what make him a force on the field, while his sarcastic nature and quick wit are what make him a fan favorite.

Today we are announcing a change in our CS:GO division. After extended discussion, the team including players, coaching staff, and management has made the decision to move Peter “ptr” Gurney and Alec “Slemmy” White to backup (inactive) status. We would like to thank Peter for all of his hard work and dedication over the past 9 months as well as Alec for stepping in on such short notice.
We are excited to welcome Shahzeeb “ShahZaM” Khan and Peter “stanislaw” Jarguz to the team. Our entire organization is thrilled to have such talented players join us as we take this roster in a new direction for the remainder of the 2018 season.
Today compLexity is excited to reveal the next piece to our Clash Royale roster with the signing of Michael “Razzer” Roper!
Razzer is a professional Clash Royale player from the Mid West who has been in the competitive scene for about a year. He is a max ladder player who also enjoys creating new decks and play testing in grand challenges. Because of this, he has become a very versatile competitive player. His favorite thing about Clash Royale is how the game brings people together from all over the world, and he greatly appreciates all the connections he has made because of this game. Razzer’s list of accomplishments include a 6,431 trophy high, 550k cards won, and a 2nd place finish at SXSW.
“I am very excited to have Razzer on our team. He is a talented player and a student of the game who constantly experiments and pushes himself to expand his knowledge. His craving for practice and improvement will help to elevate not only his own play, but inspire the whole team as well. His addition will further cement coLCR’s goal of staying ahead of the competition, and being the most prepared team in the league.”
