Harbleu Transferred from coL.OW

March 16th, 2017

Today we are announcing the transfer of Anthony ‘Harbleu’ Ballo from coL.OW. We’re saddened to see Harbleu departing, but we’re proud to have been his home for the last eight months. During that time he has grown immensely as a competitor and a streaming personality, and we’re confident that he will continue to thrive in his new organization.

“I’d like to thank compLexity for everything they’ve done to help me grow as a player and get to where I am now. I have nothing but good memories from the team and organization and wish them all the best of luck in the future. Traveling to Germany and Sweden with the team and competing around the world has been a dream come true for me. I know the rest of the guys will be practicing hard and I look forward to playing against them in the future.”

– Anthony ‘Harbleu’ Ballo, departing coL.OW Flex Player

We wish Harbleu the very best of luck in his future endeavors. coL.OW will continue tryouts for the tank and flex position through the upcoming days. You can catch us live next week in the Carbon Series on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thank you for your continued support of coL.OW and compLexity Gaming.

Stream Team Adds Merchant

March 14th, 2017

Today the compLexity Gaming family and our stream team is proud to present it’s newest member, Gwent streamer and voice model Connagh “Merchant” Hawkins.

For a while now, Connagh has made rounds through digital card games, as well as a host of other games. In fact, not only has he played games for the majority of his life, but he also has spent the last couple of years of his professional career as a balancer and community manager for Runescape Legends, as well as for the “oldschool” Runescape.

Now the Brit with gaelic roots and the very deep voice is closing that chapter of his life and starting as a full-time streamer. First and foremost it will be all about the card games, such as Gwent and Hearthstone, but don’t be shocked to see other games pop up on his stream every once in awhile.

“Gwent as a game has been on our radar in the recent past, but it wasn’t just the game that convinced us. In talks with Connagh we met a smart person with a vision for his future, an understanding of the environment. He had the drive, passion and work ethic that we are looking for in compLexity Gaming – he just was a great fit.”

– Sören “Fantasy” Vendsahm – compLexity Hearthstone Manager

So make sure to follow Merchant along on his journeys through video games on Twitch and Youtube. Also give him a warm welcome to the compLexity family on Twitter!

Happy Birthday Tork & aMies

March 13th, 2017

The compLexity Family would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to both Jake “Tork” Lepoff and Andrew “aMies” Miesner!

torkTJO has been playing various competitive FPS games at the highest levels for the past 7 years. Along with NicolasTJO, he competed in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Arctic Combat, Battlefield 3, Shootmania, and CS:GO. A talented DPS, torkTJO’s quick decision-making skills and insane fragging abilities solidifies his position as one of the top players in Overwatch.

As one of the longest standing members of compLexity, aMies has seen it all. Starting in the early Counter-Strike days, Andrew was essential for the up-keep of the compLexity website, proving to be a valued member of the team. Since then he has risen to his role as Website Boss and Staff Manager, where he oversees many day to day activities. While most of his work is done behind the scenes, his dedication and pursuit of excellence have helped make compLexity the successful organization it is today.

Again, a very Happy Birthday to both Jake “Tork” Lepoff and Andrew “aMies” Miesner!

Burbank Bound!

March 4th, 2017

by Sören ‘Fantasy’ Vendsahm

It has been a long road through the Trinity Series. What started as a dream in late January with the debut match against Cloud 9, is now a concrete travel plan to Burbank, California. As one of four teams, compLexity Gaming’s Hearthstone team will board the planes, leave the home region of Europe and sling some cards at the ESL Studios in sunny Southern California.

A grueling season with ups and downs is behind them and the thrill of the playoffs is just weeks away. From March 16th to March 18th we will clash with Team Liquid, Virtus.Pro and Luminosity Gaming for the lion’s share of the 150.000 USD prize pool – one of the biggest prize pools in the history of the game.

To reach that goal, coL went through a rollercoaster of a season, in which their fate was still up for grabs on the last day. After initially starting 3-0 into the season, then dropping to 3-2, the squad had assumed a good position for the final week by narrowly defeating G2 in Week 6 with 6-5. As one of only two teams with a 4-2 record heading into the last week, coLHS was in a prime position to take home one of the coveted spots to Burbank in a win-and-in scenario. Unfortunately, the direct qualification with their own win went up in Flamewaker Missiles right away, as DrHippi guided VP to a 6-2 victory over the red and black brand, clinching a spot for VP, leaving coL dangling for another day.

It was ultimately TempoStorm defeating G2 on Thursday night that sealed the deal for the compLexity Gaming crew, securing their spot in the finals with a 4-3 record and a total of 33 game wins. The best class for the squad was Paladin contributing 10 wins to the total, followed by Warlock and Priest as the strongest classes of the coL crew.

Now the sights are set to Burbank and the three formidable foes that are left standing. The quest to become the first ever Trinity Series champion is on. Can Crane, superjj and Mryagut defeat Liquid, VP and Luminosity? In two weeks, we will know the answer!

Changes to coL.Dota

February 16th, 2017

Today we are are announcing a change to the coL.Dota roster. Effective immediately, Antonio ‘canceL’ Mihai will be stepping down from our active Dota 2 roster.

Since his recruitment in September, we have been thrilled to have canceL on board. His unique personality, drive to compete, and relentless enthusiasm made the team and the organization a better place. However, in past weeks the team’s performance has faltered and Antonio was the first to point out that he was not performing at the level the team needed, nor what he expected of himself. Since then we have redoubled our efforts to try to help canceL make the improvements necessary, but we’ve simply fallen short. Following a team meeting last night, the players reached a mutual conclusion that canceL would step down from the competitive roster.

While canceL is going to take some time away from Dota, it is our hope that he will remain part of the compLexity organization and stream under our banner from home in Romania. Players of Antonio’s personal character and integrity are rare, so we would be very grateful to have the continued opportunity to work with him.

While changes like these are never easy, we want to thank canceL for his mature approach to the situation, from being self-aware enough to recognize that there was an issue, to volunteering to step down for the betterment of the team.

“Unfortunately in the recent qualifiers I was not performing at a level that I expected of myself, and I felt I was holding the team back. As a result I decided to take some time to work on my play individually, rather than holding my team back. I am stepping down in the hopes that the team can find someone that is able to help them win, while I improve on my own. I would like to thank coL.Dota, compLexity, and the fans for the good times. I’m sorry to have disappointed this time, but I will keep working hard and I will not give up.”

– Antonio ‘canceL’ Mihai

“When we first recruited Antonio I was a bit skeptical. His reputation wasn’t the greatest, nor was his track record. Much to my delight, it turned out that he was not only a skilled player, but an exceptional human being. I can truly say it has been a delight working with him. It is regrettable that his raw talent wasn’t able to translate to success within the team environment, but I know that he gave it his all, each and every day. I am sad to see him departing the competitive team, but following some time away from Dota, I hope we will be able to continue working with him as a streamer and personality.”

– Kyle ‘Beef’ Bautista, General Manager

In the coming days coL.Dota will be trying out players to fill the open slot. In today’s Elimination Mode 3 match we will be using Eric ‘747’ Dong.

We thank you for your continued support of coL.Dota and the compLexity organization.
