Today we are pleased to announce the final addition to our #coLcs roster with the acquisition of Hunter “SicK” Mims!

It’s a reunion of sorts, as the 20-year-old phenom from Las Vegas, Nevada returns to compLexity Gaming, where he reunites with both ShahZaM and Rickeh. In 2017 and 2018, he previously played with ShahZaM both on TSM and Misfits. In that time, he gathered additional experience and honed his skill, which he was able to apply alongside another future compLexity player in Rickeh during their time together on Rogue.

We’d also like to take this time to thank Jordan “n0thing” Gilbert for his contribution during the last few months! It’s been a sincere pleasure having the legend around our gaming family again and we wish him the best of luck in the future.

Our current coL.cs roster:

•  Rory “dephh” Jackson – @dephh_csgo / dephh_live
• Peter “stanislaw” Jarguz – @peterjarguz / stanislaw
• Ricardo “Rickeh” Mulholland – @rickeh / rickehaus
•  Shahzeeb “ShahZaM” Khan – @ShahZaMk / Shahzam
• Hunter “SicK” Mims – @SicK_cs / sick_cs

Manager

•  Matt “Warden” Dickens – @coLWarden

Give Hunter a warm #coLFamilia welcome on Twitter and stay tuned for the upcoming EPL Season.

Roaring crowds. Booming chants. Unbelievable passion. Soccer is the biggest sport around the globe, bringing joy to millions year in and year out.  FIFA, is not far behind the traditional sports counterpart. Every year, the new release sells tens millions of copies worldwide, making it one of the biggest gaming titles of all time

At compLexity we’re all about the passion for gaming and competition – elements that FIFA embodies perfectly. Today, we are very proud to announce our venture onto the pitch. We’re pleased to welcome “AA9Skillz” and Joksan “Joksan” Redona as founding pillars of #coLFIFA.

For Skillz, the journey to this moment started many years ago. The content creator and competitor isn’t just on the grind in FIFA Ultimate Team, but also on YouTube and Twitch. His daily FIFA videos entertain hundreds of thousands of fans, pulling sick cards and sick shots. Skillz manages to walk the tightrope of placing in the top 100 in weekend league, while still keeping his content fun and fresh. Whether he’s working with the budget teams his fans provide, or playing a mega team, the grind never stops and the grind certainly never gets boring with AA9Skillz.

While Skillz has recently pulled out multiple 30-0 Weekend League performances, Joksan is already at the top of the FIFA 19 competitive scene. The young American from Southern California rose to prominence at the end of FIFA 18 and cemented his status in FIFA 19 by bringing home a trophy to the North American turf from Europe. As the PS4 Champion of FUT Champions Cup Bucharest and the winner of the PS4 Continental Cup he quickly made a name for himself in the emerging scene. Since then he added multiple 30-0 performances in Weekend League, and qualified to two more FUT Champions Cups. His first trip for compLexity Gaming will bring him all the way to Singapore, challenging the best players in the world on a new patch and in a new kit.

So bring out your soccer scarf and practice your chants – we’re ready to take the scene by storm. With Joksan in Singapore and Skillz coming at you 7 days a week we’ll be bringing you a ton of FIFA action.  Give our new members a warm #coLFamilia welcome via their social media below!

Over the past few months we’ve seen the card game market pick up with new contenders emerging and the old guard bolstering their appeal with expansions and large announcements. Standing out amongst the crowd is the most elder of the old guards – Wizards of the Coast’s classic Magic: The Gathering. The Arena version is a huge success and the esports scene has been established, which will combine the classic card game with its digital counterpart.

As an organization we’ve been on the card game train, including MTGA, for a while now, so today we are excited to announce another addition to that roster – introducing Amy “Amazonian” D.

As a veteran not only in the Magic space, but also the streaming world, Amy is looking at over 10 years of experience in both. Starting her streaming efforts even well before the precursor to Twitch was even launched, she has been managing a successful career as both a mechanical engineer, as well as a streamer.

With the addition of Amazonian, we are also officially announcing our Magic: The Gathering division. Amy will join AliasV, Noxious and Merchant with compLexity still exploring other prominent and up-and-coming options for another spot or two. We are excited about Amy joining us, as well as the for the future of Magic the Gathering: Arena.
