The compLexity Gaming family would like to wish a very Happy Birthday to Doug “Censor” Martin!

One of the biggest stars in the CoD scene, chasing his destiny – chasing a ring. A veteran in the scene, Censor has made his mark as a content creator, but that one defining mark as a player is still eluding him. Tasting early success in 2011 as the MLG National Champion, he’s been chasing the World Championship for a while. A fourth place finish in 2014 is the closest he got, but the passion and fire inside him won’t extinct until he hoists that big trophy.

Growing up on games like Counter-Strike, Warcraft III, Brood War, and FIFA he developed a passion for gaming which translated into a love of writing about games.
