PG2: coL.Heart vs. IM_NesTea – GSL Code A

November 18th, 2012

Tonight compLexity’s star Terran player Heart will be participating in the GSL Code A Round of 32. This match is very important because the loser will fall out of the GSL completely and have to claw through the grueling Code A qualifiers to get back into the tournament. As if that wasn’t enough pressure, Heart will be taking on the God of Zerg, Nestea. That said, we have the utmost faith in Heart and fully expect to see him upset the three time GSL champion.

To see Heart play, tune into GOMTV.net tonight at 7:00 AM EDT. Also be sure to send him words of encouragement via Twitter @coL_Heart.

Score 1 2 3 F
coL.Heart 0 0 0
NesTea 0 0 2

Happy Birthday Heart

November 16th, 2012

On behalf of the compLexity Gaming family, we’d like to wish Kim Min Hyuk (“Heart”) a very Happy Birthday as he turns 22 today!

Heart joined compLexity in Feberuary of this year during a week that saw the acquisition of both NaDa and Killer. Over this year, Heart has proven that he is one of the world’s most creative and talented Terran players, taking 3rd at the MLG Winter Championship in Columbus, Ohio. Heart also managed to take 3rd place, in a tie with teamate GanZi, at the MLG Spring Arena in New York City.

Once again, we’d like to wish a very Happy Birthday to Kim Min Hyuk (“Heart”)!
