compLexity Partners with DXRacer

November 12th, 2013

Press Release

Houston, Texas – November 12, 2013 – DXRacer USA is pleased to announce a partnership with Complexity Gaming, one of the world’s foremost competitive gaming organizations.  DXRacer has become the “Official Gaming Chair” of Complexity and will soon be producing a custom Complexity Gaming branded chair.

DXRacer seats are manufactured to very exacting standards and the level of comfort and refinement which they offer gamers is unrivalled amongst office and gaming chairs.

“We’re very pleased to be working alongside DXRacer,” said Jason Bass, COO of Complexity Gaming.  “Professional gamers require long hours of practice in order to maintain their top tier skills.  Having the proper chair is crucial and no other product compares to the technology incorporated by DXRacer.”

About DXRacer

DXRacer office chairs have now arrived in the USA and are available for sale.  Racing office chairs are popular for your business , home, casual use, and of course gaming!

DXRacer seats are manufactured to very exacting standards and the level of comfort and refinement which they offer is unrivalled amongst office and gaming chairs. A chair that was originally conceived to heighten the gaming experience, is sure to become your seat of choice when working, relaxing watching a home movie or getting into a game as you’ve never experienced it before.

Unlike most office chairs on offer, the DXRacer chair has a much higher backrest, that allows it to support your entire spinal column from your pelvis right to the neck. The chair offers a very stable metal star base that is adjustable via a gas spring that allows the user to adjust it for varying heights of office or computer desks. It also includes a tilt mechanism with lock function so the back can be lowered down to 180 degrees and set to lock at any angle. In addition, functions include 8 position adjustable armrests covered with a soft pad for comfort, so the user is protected from a shoulder slant or kyphosis as a result of prolonged fatigue of the shoulder and wrist. All our chairs come with a headrest cushion as well as a lumbar cushion that is height adjustable as desired (for added spinal column support).

compLexity & Sasquatch Part Ways

November 6th, 2013

Today we are announcing the departure of our friend Gage “Sasquatch” Dubose. Sasquatch has been with our gaming family for over two years and has contributed immensely to our StarCraft 2 efforts as our 2nd Academy player to be promoted to the main team.

Gage had this to say regarding his departure:

I was thinking about it for a while, but today I decided it was the time for me to leave compLexity. coL is the most professional team I’ve ever been on and it was a very tough choice for me to say goodbye, as I do feel a strong sense of loyalty to them for all the oppurtunities they’ve provided me since I joined. With that said, I think this is the best choice for me right now. I’m still on good relations with all the players and staff, and I don’t think there are any hard feelings on either end. I’m not sure what exactly is in the future for me but I know I’m going to keep playing Starcraft and being part of the community! Thanks for all the memories compLexity!

We wish him the very best and thank him for his hard work!
