Complexity Gaming Partners with World of Warcraft Guild Limit to Create First-of-its-Kind Competitive PvE Offering in Esports

October 28th, 2019

Complexity, Limit Join Forces to Take Competitive PvE to the Next Level

FRISCO, Texas — October 28, 2019 — Complexity Gaming, one of North America’s most elite and longest-standing esports organizations, and Limit, the top World of Warcraft guild in the United States, today announced a partnership to enhance World of Warcraft’s competitive PvE scene in North America. As part of this first-of-its kind partnership, Complexity has signed Limit under the Complexity brand and will see Limit adjust their name to Complexity Limit. This marks Complexity’s first formal presence in the competitive World of Warcraft PvE. The two companies will bring PvE into the spotlight and create unique opportunities for fans of both organizations to enjoy the highest level of competition available in PvE. The two organizations will work hand-in-hand on unique opportunities, continuing to push forward in the Race to World First events and more.

“Limit is globally recognized as one of the most successful and veteran raiding guilds in World of Warcraft, and we’re excited to welcome them to the Complexity family,” said Jason Lake, Founder and CEO, Complexity Gaming. “They are the perfect partner to work alongside to bring a compelling and engaging new experience to our collective communities and beyond.”

This partnership aims to enhance and provide new value to both organizations through merging the combined resources of two successful North American brands. Joining forces allows both organizations to reach and connect with each other’s audiences to amplify this form of competitive gaming entertainment. For Complexity, the partnership marks the return to the World of Warcraft scene, after being notable in the space when World of Warcraft Arena was at its peak. For Complexity Limit, this marks a definitive step toward overtaking Method for the coveted World First kill of N’zoth and beyond.

“From the moment we met with Complexity, we felt like we had found an organization that truly shared our values and passion,” said Max “Maximum” Smith, Complexity Limit Guild Master and Raid Leader. “The partnership is not only mutually beneficial to both of our groups, but also provides new and unique opportunities for our members and fans alike.”

Founded in 2015, Limit has established themselves as a top World of Warcraft guild in North America and is widely regarded as a powerhouse, chasing World First kills every new raid released in World of Warcraft. Since the races have become more public, the guild continues to pursue the ultimate reward, battling it out for the first “full clear” of the challenging new World of Warcraft raids. Though that achievement has eluded them thus far, the margin is narrowing each event. Another one of their breakthroughs came this summer when they partnered with Red Bull to play against their European rivals in a tense battle to claim the head of Queen Azshara. That goal was ultimately missed by a few attempts, but with the support of Complexity, they are looking to become the first guild to bring down N’zoth.

Complexity Gaming and U.S. Army Join Forces for Esports Partner Program and Competition

June 13th, 2019

U.S. Army Soldiers and Complexity Athletes Will Share Knowledge and Experience in Immersive Program Designed to Enhance Soldier Welfare and Morale

FRISCO, Texas – June 13, 2019 – Complexity Gaming, one of North America’s most elite and longest standing esports organizations, today announced a partnership with the U.S. Army Installation Management Command’s Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) program to integrate esports into its Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers (BOSS) program, kicking off at Fort Bliss this weekend. The program will create unique shared experiences and onsite activations both at Complexity’s headquarters and on Army installations to immerse U.S. Army soldiers into the world of competitive gaming and vice versa, also exposing Complexity players to soldiers’ day-to-day life.

“Partnering with the U.S. Army and its BOSS program is a proud moment for the Complexity organization,” said Daniel Herz, Chief Revenue Officer, Complexity Gaming. “It has been incredibly humbling to help design a program of shared experiences that supports our U.S. service members through esports.”

From June 13 through 16, Complexity athletes will live and train like U.S. Army soldiers at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. During a three-day intensive boot camp, players will participate in military-style drills alongside active-duty service members, learning valuable skills such as discipline and resilience. Soldiers will also have the opportunity to go head-to-head with Complexity professionals, competing in some of the most popular game titles. Plus, there will be a variety of other activities, such as meet-and-greets and “Care Package” merchandise giveaways. The program, spearheaded by Family and MWR’s Army Entertainment, is supported by the Army’s retail partner, The Exchange, and corporate partner, MSI.

“This program is a great opportunity for BOSS. Soldiers will experience what it takes to become an esports professional, which I believe aligns with the pillars of the BOSS program. This opportunity promotes healthy competition as well as builds new bridges for future events and programs” said Staff Sgt. Adrian Mooney, Department of the Army BOSS Representative.

On June 28 through 30, select U.S. Army personnel will join Complexity athletes for a gaming bootcamp at Complexity’s GameStop Performance Center (GSPC) at The Star in Frisco, Texas. U.S. Army soldiers will work with Complexity staff and professionals to develop important gaming skills in GSPC’s cognitive Cog Lab, state-of-the-art training rooms, decompression porch and more. The soldiers’ in-game training will culminate in an esports tournament where the top 15 gamers will compete for various awards and bragging rights live on Army Entertainment’s Twitch channel. Fans can also learn more about the soldiers and how they discovered gaming through custom content posted on Complexity’s social channels.

The partnership emphasizes U.S. Army soldiers’ and Complexity Gaming players’ shared love of competition, passion for gaming, culture of teamwork, and camaraderie. The inaugural program is designed to stimulate soldier curiosity and interest in esports while also providing an outlet for soldiers to recharge in a fun environment. Complexity will continue to work with the U.S. Army to identify and execute programs that offer soldiers unique access to esports recreational opportunities that can help reduce soldier stress and depression and improve self-esteem and personal growth.

Changes to #COLCS: Stanislaw Stepping Down, Dephh Stepping Up and oBo Stepping In

June 3rd, 2019

After a tumultuous start to the year that saw visa issues, several stand-ins and disappointing performances, we’re announcing roster changes to #COLCS.

First, we announce the exciting arrival of young gun, Owen “Obo” Schlatter. The incredibly gifted young player making tons of noise in FPL will be joining the Complexity CSGO roster after a successful tryout with the team, and will also be joining his new teammates as they head to ECS. He’s already making an impact in the server, and will make his presence felt in London.

Next, we announce that Peter “Stanislaw” Jarguz will be stepping down from the starting roster after a mutual team decision was made to take the team in a different direction. Peter has been a fantastic addition to the organization, as he lead Complexity to a top 8 finish at the FaceIt London Major. Yet, after a disappointing start to 2019, it was time to chart a new course for the team.

“I have decided to step down from the active roster as I no longer feel that I am the person to lead the team forward. Our results during my time on here were very inconsistent but I will always be proud of our top 8 finish at the Faceit London Major. I  want to thank everyone at compLexity for taking incredible care of me and wish them the best of luck moving forward,” said Peter Jarguz in a statement to fans.

As an organization, we never enjoy making roster changes, especially just weeks before an event. In this case, both Peter and the team felt this change was needed, and both look forward to their respective futures.

As for who will fill the IGL position, Rory “Dephh” Jackson – a 4-year veteran of #COLCS – will be stepping up to fill the role. Having been around the scene for quite some time, Rory’s in-depth knowledge of CS and his natural leadership skills make him the ideal candidate for the job.

Lastly, with Rick “Rickeh” Mulholland’s chapter of being stranded in Canada with visa issues now over, he will once again join the team full-time in the GameStop Performance Center.

We look forward to a bright future for this roster, and couldn’t be more excited to see them in action. Big thanks to all our fans for their continued support.

See you in London!
