FRISCO, Texas – March 2, 2021 – Complexity Gaming, one of North America’s most elite and longest-standing esports organizations, today announced a partnership with Dairy MAX, one of the leading regional dairy councils in America, to optimize esports player performance and extend career longevity through proper nutrition. The multifaceted partnership, which designates Dairy MAX as the Official Nutrition Partner of Complexity, also aims to educate the esports community on the importance of building healthy habits, explore the impact of nutrition on cognitive and physical performance, and promote overall well-being.  

“Through our vision of ‘Esports 3.0,’ Complexity has a long-standing commitment to professionalize the esports landscape and improve overall player care, and our partnership with Dairy MAX is the next step in achieving that goal,“ said Jason Lake, Founder and CEO of Complexity Gaming. “With Dairy MAX as our Official Nutrition Partner, not only will we add a key layer of health and wellness support for our athletes, but also we’ll be able to share our learnings with our fans and the esports industry at large.”

As part of the partnership, Complexity and Dairy MAX will host and produce a five-episode educational cooking series, “Cooking with Complexity,” where players and influencers will learn to prepare healthy meals. Professional esports athletes, casual gamers, and fans alike will have access to this educational content designed to provide them with nutritious recipes and insight on making health-conscious choices.

The two companies will also work together to provide guidance on how to live a healthy, performance-driven lifestyle in esports. Through Dairy MAX’s extensive resources and nutrition guides, Complexity players will gain insight into the impact of nutrition on the brain and body as well as understand the cognitive connection required for sustained peak performance. Additionally, Dairy MAX will have access to Complexity players to support ongoing research into the impact of dairy and nutrition on performance and lifestyle.

“Dairy plays a pivotal role in nutrition and athletic performance– and that’s a key message we’re committed to sharing with the athletes, fans, and the entire esports industry,” said Mike Konkle, CEO of Dairy MAX. “Esports are coed, inclusive and engage students who might not otherwise participate in school athletics or activities. This partnership allows the dairy farmers we represent to reach kids based on their interests and work with younger generations to learn about the benefits of dairy for mind and body performance.” 

Complexity’s partnership with Dairy MAX builds upon the organization’s commitment to advancing the esports industry and creating meaningful relationships that provide holistic support and resources for players’ mental and physical health. Complexity’s headquarters, The GameStop Performance Center (GSPC), is equipped with performance-enhancing tools, recovery amenities, and mental health resources to promote player wellness and longevity.

This year’s event will feature new participating talent, event partners, and content segments designed for a well-rounded viewing experience that can engage a diverse group of gaming fans.

“Race to World First is a competition unlike any other – it’s an incredibly demanding endeavor that challenges players to think critically over long periods of time,” said Sören Vendsahm, General Manager of Complexity Gaming. “All eyes are on Complexity-Limit as the guild attempts to defend their rank as the world’s top raiding guild, and we’ll be supporting them every step of the way through unique experiences for viewers and help from our partners.”

Complexity will continue to bring unmatched production value to Complexity-Limit’s Race to World First broadcasts this year, with an increased focus on creating unique content and engagement opportunities for fans.

To quote Frank Herbert, “There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.”

I’m very grateful to him for his massive contributions to the Complexity legacy and wish him and his wife the absolute best in the future. Thanks for everything, Wardino, and God speed old friend.”

FamilyMWR to Kick Off 12-Week Esports Tournament

June 23rd, 2020

Complexity Gaming, one of North America’s most elite esports organizations, and the U.S. Army’s Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation, part of the Installation Management Command, are joining forces to conduct a worldwide 12-week online esports tournament starting July 4th.

The Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers program will be hosting the tournaments at the garrisons.

“We understand the challenges with social distancing and the closure of certain facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” said the Department of the Army’s BOSS Representative, Staff Sgt. Adrian Mooney. “We wanted to bring a form of entertainment that would be easily accessible to Soldiers. It is a form of entertainment that most Soldiers already have the resources for in the comfort of their barracks or homes.”

There will be multiple game titles for Soldiers to compete in at their garrisons throughout the 12 weeks. The first game will be Madden NFL 20. Signups for the tournaments will open every Wednesday, four days before the Saturdays they are held.

Complexity is organizing the tournaments, which are sponsored by the Army National Guard.

“We’re proud of our continued work with the Army and the Army National Guard,” said Complexity Gaming’s founder and CEO, Jason Lake. “During these unprecedented times, this program will allow Soldiers to stay connected through competition and continue to build comradery.”

The top three players will win a trip to Complexity’s headquarters, the GameStop Performance Center, in Frisco, Texas, to experience a day in the life of a professional gamer.

“Esports can challenge a Soldier cognitively as well as physically,” said Mooney. “It provides a constructive platform for Soldiers to release stress, connect socially, and engage in tactics. The cognitive and constructive aspect also mirrors what some of our Soldiers have as resources for training in their particular military occupational specialty code.”

The tournament is open to all Army service members including the National Guard and Reserves and Soldiers can sign up at www.armymwr.com/esports.

About the U.S. Army Installation Management Command:

We are “the Army’s home.”  Army installations require the same types of programs and services found in any small city. IMCOM manages the day-to-day operations of our Army communities such as emergency response teams, housing, utilities and maintenance, parks and recreation and childcare. Our professional workforce strives to deliver on the commitment to honor the sacrifice and service of military Families, while enabling readiness for a self-reliant and globally responsive all-volunteer Army.

Complexity Gaming and We Are Nations Launch ‘The Lab’, a First-of-its-Kind Innovation Initiative to Develop Products for Esports Athletes

June 23rd, 2020

 Partnership Will Leverage Complexity’s Extensive Player-First Infrastructure to Research, Test, and Validate New Designs 

FRISCO, Texas – June 23, 2020 – Complexity Gaming, one of North America’s most elite and longest-standing esports organizations, today announced a partnership with We Are Nations, the world’s largest esportswear company, to launch The Lab, an innovation pipeline for the research and development of esports products. Together, the two organizations will help to enhance the pre-game, in-game, and post-game performance of professional esports athletes and casual gamers across the entire gaming industry.

“Our mission is to help the entire industry reframe the conversation and focus on holistic player well-being,” said Jason Lake, Founder and CEO, Complexity Gaming. “We Are Nations is the ideal partner to help us create next-generation products that stem from actionable insights and data that will drive the professionalization of esports.”

Through direct access to Complexity players and controlled testing environments within Complexity’s headquarters, the GameStop Performance Center (GSPC), the two organizations will measure the impact that new training materials, like haptic technology, have on cognitive and physical performance. Part of that intake will also include monitoring biometric data, comfort, function, and the mobility of Complexity athletes. Complexity and We Are Nations will facilitate structured research and testing throughout specified areas within the GSPC, including:

  • Cognitive Lab: Using the Cognitive Lab, Complexity will evaluate the ongoing progress of athletes’ basic capabilities, monitoring key performance indicators like reaction speed, memory, and inhibition.
  • Herman Miller Innovation Lab: Once initial prototypes are developed from findings, Complexity athletes will provide feedback in controlled private sessions in the Herman Miller Innovation Lab to further inform and adapt design and functionality.
  • Advanced Training Rooms: Products will then undergo stress testing in the GSPC’s advanced training rooms, which have the ability to mimic LAN competition using custom LED lighting, advanced sound engineering, adjustable ergonomic equipment, and precision climate control.

The Lab will leverage learnings to develop new products, equipment, and materials, which will ultimately be made available for both professional esports athletes and casual gamers. Additionally, The Lab will expand the scope of research to usher in future collaborations with new partners and third parties to bring more products to market on an ongoing basis.

“We Are Nations is dedicated to developing innovative products to be used by professional and social gamers alike, and we believe we’ll be able to lead the industry with the creation of The Lab,” said Patrick Mahoney, CEO, We Are Nations. “The unparalleled access to research and testing throughout the GameStop Performance Center and with Complexity athletes will allow us to take our product development a step further and help us to service gamers for a function well beyond comfort or style.”

The Lab will be integrated across Complexity’s existing infrastructure and is another step toward the organization’s vision of “Esports 3.0,” which aims to professionalize the esports industry overall. In the Herman Miller Innovation Lab, Complexity is already working with Herman Miller to conduct research around ergonomic equipment that will address the specific needs of gamers and prevent injuries. In partnership with The Sports Academy, the Cognitive Lab exists to develop, train, and improve core cognitive functions of esports athletes. Pairing We Are Nation’s expertise in product design with Complexity’s commitment to professionalizing player care, will further open doors and push boundaries for player performance.

In addition to The Lab, We Are Nations will also launch an esportswear line for Complexity players, streamers, and fans. The new product line will include jerseys, hoodies, shirts, joggers, hats, and more, and will feature various drops throughout the year, including Complexity Gaming, Complexity-Limit, individual influencer lines, and a branded capsule collection. All products will be specifically designed for both comfort and performance.
