It’s been a couple of weeks since the eighth team in Dota 2’s history hoisted the coveted Aegis and rose to immortality. Even just a short time later, the wheels of the Dota community keep turning, as the quest for the next International has already begun. compLexity Gaming is committed to that pursuit, and improving upon our most recent performance. The Road to Shanghai has begun. The coL Familia is proud to announce that we will be continuing with two of our previous members, as Zakari “Zfreek” Freedman and Linus “Limmp” Blomdin have signed on for another year under the red and black banner.
Rounding out the roster are two veterans of the scene, along with some fresh blood. With Jacky “EternaLEnVy” Mao’s adventures in Southeast Asia coming to an end, he will once again plant his North American roots. The next stage in EternaLEnVy’s hunt for the ultimate prize comes as a throwback to his beginnings- as a position 5 player. Joining him from SEA is a newcomer to the international scene in Andrei “Skem” Gabriel Ong. The carry sensation is one of the best kept secrets of the SEA region and is getting ready for his first big showing in the major leagues.
To complete the roster, we are proud to welcome Jingju “Sneyking” Wu. As one of the old-school players in the North American region, Sneyking made his mark at TI for the first time in 2013 as a member of Dignitas, and followed it up again in 2014. Following an absence from the scene, Sneyking made his triumphant return in the past season, including a strong run at TI8.
As past generations grew, trading card games were all the rage. While the physical medium took a dip, the digital age revives this childhood nostalgia and gives it a fresh and unique touch. Today we are excited to announce a new partnership with Epics, bringing you that thrill and nostalgia with an all new CS:GO collection!
Every card has a unique mint number and a rarity within the collection. The rarer the card and lower the mint number, the higher the card’s rating. The cards also contain stats that are kept up with in real time telling the story of the player. You can also gain access to player “relics”. Relics are a revolutionary new way to own some of the most valuable skins in esports. They are unique digital collectibles that combine skins used in game by legendary esports players.
Starting right now the Complexity CS:GO Collection will be available, as we head into the last Major of the calendar year. Go download the app for Android or iOS and start growing your digital collection today. Each purchase of a Complexity Pack within the app directly supports the team. With free packs every 4 hours you never know what card is waiting right around the corner. So go download the app and start growing your team today!

Anticipation and excitement grow day by day – the start of the Clash Royale League is just nearly here! Our early moves created a stellar roster core to Complexity Clash Royale, with ColtonW83, AdrianPiedra and Razzer as our first three. Today we are thrilled to announce the combine additions to our CRL roster: Chanler “Chache” Ellsworth and Kevin “El Jefe” Cara.
Playing off-meta decks, Chache has quickly made a name for himself in the scene. The American content creator is known for his “outside the box” thinking and deck counters, which will bring a new element of surprise to our CRL roster. El Jefe on the other hand played his way into serious contention with a strong showing against the best talent in North America at the CRL Combine.
Chache has already arrived at our California training house and is preparing for the inaugural season of CRL. His Canadian teammate, El Jefe will travel to the team house in mid August, bringing great work ethic and Clash mind to the team.
Follow Chache on his Twitch for the newest deck creations and give him a follow on Twitter. You can find El Jefe on Twitter. Join us in giving them both a warm welcome as they join the #coLFamilia!
Football season is upon us! No, not soccer, the World Cup is over. It’s NFL time once again in America. With the Madden 19 release right around the corner, compLexity Gaming is proud to announce our return to the game with the signing of Drini “Drini” Gjoka!
Drini is no stranger to Texas. Just three months ago he earned his spot on the big stage at the NFL Draft – playing in the Grand Finals of Madden’s premier event, Madden Ultimate League. He finished the 2018 season with a Madden Challenge championship and as the runner-up in Ultimate League, conceding only 10 points on the path to the Grand Finals. Now in Madden 2019, Drini is going for it all once again.
We are thrilled to welcome the young talent into the compLexity Family and look forward to plenty of awesome Madden action, as well as collaboration opportunities with America’s Team – the Dallas Cowboys.
Give Drini a warm welcome by giving him a follow on Twitter and be sure to follow his stream on Twitch!
The Dota 2 season is heading towards its big finale – The International in Vancouver, Canada. This is traditionally the time to shine for everyone in the Dota 2 community, whether it’s a player, caster or streamer. Only 18 teams are able to go on the journey to Vancouver to fight for the coveted Aegis, leaving a plethora of talent to hone their skills in pubs, eagerly awaiting the dawn of the new season.
One of those players is Maurice “kheZu” Gutmann, who has already had the honor of competing at a past TI, but is on the outside looking in this time around. Maurice has decided to go on the attack and start streaming on a regular basis again – six days a week for at least six hours. As an old friend of the organization, we will support kheZu in his efforts and are happy and honored to have him on our Dota 2 Stream Team.
Tune in for an educational journey into the depths of Dota 2 and the heights of the professional ladder. Enjoy a calm atmosphere, predicated on teaching and becoming a better person – no rage, no salt, just pure top-notch gameplay.
Hearthstone is a game that appeals to the masses and we strive to be the home of entertainment for all aspects of the game. We have tinkered with our competitive roster and stream team around that idea. Until now, one piece of that puzzle was missing – the Arena. Today we are proud to fill that void with one of the fastest growing Arena streamers in Hearthstone as we welcome Monte “Dreads” Doebel-Hickok.
The L.A. native, living abroad in Canada, has been a fast-riser on both Twitch and the Arena leaderboards, consistently placing high each month including a #1 and #2 finish. Whether it’s a Shudderwock Shaman run attempt for some meme value, the clutch Stubborn Gastropod on two or just solid overall decks to get to the coveted 12 win territory – Dreads’ stream offers a large amount of variety. A calm atmosphere, a light joke on the side and rarely any salt is what you can expect, alongside with a consistent output of content.
Join us in welcoming Dreads to the #coLFamilia by following him on Twitter and be sure to tune in tonight at 6:30 PM EDT / 3:30 PM PDT for his first official stream as a compLexity Gaming member!
Just a few weeks ago, the esports world looked towards London to witness an epic conclusion to the RLCS World Championship. The tournament featured close finishes, high-octane action and seemingly endless crowd roars and ovations. Complexity Rocket League was a part of the action, playing their hearts out and taking the bronze medal at the Copperbox Arena. Throughout the season the team fought hard, performed well and once more came close to the coveted trophy. We are immensely proud of their accomplishments, but it is clear a change is required to reach the ultimate goal.
Today we say goodbye to one of the greatest defensive players in the game, Otto “Metsanauris” Kaipiainen. We thank Metsa for his great performance and commitment to the organization as everyone involved is parting ways on good terms. Metsa and his teammates have stuck together through thick and thin, claimed a runner-up and a third place finish at the World Championships, as well as standout performances in other events. We wish him nothing but the best and hope to see him competing in the RLCS World Championship for Season 6.
To fill out the team, we welcome a World Champion in Marius “gReazymeister” Ranheim. After discussions with our players, a change in playstyle and more firepower seemed the way to go. With the incredible skill of Joonas “Mognus” Salo and the driving highlight reel of Linus “al0t” Möllergren, an all-out-attack featuring Greazy’s high risk, high reward play style should be the road to success.
Once the new RLCS season kicks off, the new squad will be seen in action, trying to claim the top spot in Europe RLCS Season 6.
