Today the compLexity Academy will be taking on ROOT Gaming in week 4 of the ESEA. After last week’s loss to LighT eSports, the Academy has been training hard looking forward to this match. Obviously ROOT is one of the better known teams in the ESEA, however that makes The Academy all the more determined to bring home a win.
Tonight’s lineups are:
Fuzzy vs ROOTViBE
SniXSniPe vs ROOTslush
Kyo vs ROOTMajor
Sasquatch vs ROOTFitzy
While most ESEA matches are played in private, both teams agreed to have the new Academy commentator Samsc2 stream the match. To watch the match, tune into the stream at 8:00pm EST.
DOTA FIRE (MOBA FIRE) interviews Brian “FLUFFNSTUFF” Lee towards the end of ‘The International’ 2012
DOTAFIRE’s Shashi “DetonatoR” Singh sat down with our very own Brian “FLUFFNSTUFF” Lee to discuss thoughts on ‘The International’ 2012. They discuss everything from the event itself to compLexity.DOTA2’s direction in the future and whether or not he found the infamous ‘IceFrog’.
Check out a small exert from the interview here:
How was your time in Seattle? When did you get here?
We didn’t really get to see much of Seattle yet, we’ve only been to downtown Seattle a couple of times. We got here on August 9th just to start our bootcamp down at Game Clucks and we’ve been here all the way through The International 2 working really hard to prepare.
Seattle, Valve. How was it? From a lot of the teams and players that I’ve spoken to, they all pretty much say the same thing, that Valve has been treating them amazingly well this entire time.
My experience with Valve has been really amazing. They treat all the players like rock stars. We get to go into their office and steal all of their food. They have really nice catering and they take care of us with assistants, basically Valve staffers or volunteers who follow each team around to make sure we get to where we have to be on time, setup our gear, basically help us out, etc.
I think that just Valve in general, the employees seem to really love DotA. They really enjoy it and they’re all big fans of the players and the teams. They all seem to want to see DotA 2 grow as an eSport. Even Gabe Newell, he plays a lot of DotA 2 and really wants it to succeed.
Brian “FLUFFNSTUFF” Lee Interviewed by Team Liquid at ‘The International’ 2012
As a part of their new DOTA2 section, Team Liquid has carried out a number of interviews throughout ‘The International’ 2012, including one with our very own Brian “FLUFFNSTUFF” Lee, the captain of our DOTA 2 team. The interview was conducted shortly after the teams exit in the tournament.

Today the North American StarLeague revealed the groups for their upcoming Season 4. Kicking off on September 12th, the NASL features the best StarCraft II players from around the globe including two of compLexity’s all-stars: qxc and GanZi. Lucky for us, qxc and GanZi are in different divisions, with GanZi playing in Division 3 and qxc taking on Division 5. The full player list and group breakdown can be found here.
The starting Map Pool for the NASL will include: • Cloud Kingdom • Daybreak • Entombed Valley • Metropolis • Muspelheim • Ohana • Whirlwind
An interesting addition to this season’s map pool is that the NASL will review the map pool after the 4th and 9th weeks of competition. Using player feedback and internal analysis, these revisions will help keep this season’s competition fresh.
The NASL broadcast starts September 12th at 9:00 PM EST. For a full schedule, including specific Division match-ups, click here. Be sure to tune in and cheer for both qxc and GanZi when the NASL goes live.
UPDATE: coL.Heart takes a quick 2-0 victory over JangBi and will now take on StarTale’s PartinG in the round of 8 of WCG Korea!
Tonight, compLexity.SC2’s Heart will be taking on the Protoss KESPA player Jangbi in the WCG 2012 Korea National Finals Ro16. This is going to be a tough match, considering Jangbi is the reigning OSL champion and the last Brood War champion ever. That said, this is StarCraft II and we’ve seen that BW skills do not necessarily transition to the new game.
Currently Heart has a 66.7% win rate versus Protoss (in GOMtv leagues), where as there’s no information for Jangbi. Outside of GOM, in the 2012 Auction All Kill OSL RO16, Jangi lost in the group stages 0-2 to both DongRaeGu and MarineKing.
To see Heart play, tune into GOMTV.net’s Live Stream tonight at 9:00 PM PDT / 12:00 AM EDT. Also, be sure to send him words of encouragement via Twitter @coL_Heart. This is a big match for Heart so please show him your support.
The top 16 teams from the DreamHoN Online Summer Championships (DHSC) have been invited to participate in a 3 week tournament that has a prize pot of $7,000 cash as well as invitation, travel stipend of $4,000 and accommodation in Jonkoping, Sweden for DreamHack Winter 2012.
The prize distribution is $4,000 plus the invite to DreamHack for first place, with second getting $2,500 and 3rd with $500. As compLexity.HoN has already won their invite and accompanying stipend/accommodation, they will not be allowed to double up on this. Therefore in the event of a coL.HoN victory in this tournament, the team will only receive the cash prize.
The tournament begins today with compLexity.HoN taking on Q sQuad 357 in their first match of the group stage. The match will begin at 3:00 PM EST (21:00 CET) and will be played in a best of 3 format. The team will look to continue their strong run under the compLexity banner.

The compLexity.HoN team has taken out the second It’s Gosu HoN August Open and have taken home the first place prize of $300 along with a qualifying spot in the It’s Gosu HoN August Invitational that will have a prize pot of $1200. The coL.HoN team went undefeated throughout the tournament, taking out everyone in quick, clean, succession, including Team Pikachu in the Semi-Finals (2-0) and Team Tt eSPORTS in the Grand-Finals (2-0).
The top four teams from each (2) qualifiers have been given an invitational to compete in this month’s invitational event and from the second qualifier the teams are: compLexity Gaming, Team Tt eSPORTS, Pikachu, and Blacksheep. From the first qualifier, the top four teams were LION eSportsklubb, Team It’s Gosu, Project X and TradeMark eSports.
Last night the compLexity Academy lost its first match in the ESEA bringing its record to 2-1. After a strong initial showing versus Team Nightmares and FlowSoft Gaming, it was LighT eSports that was able to give The Academy its first loss.
While this is a hard hit to The Academy, our boys are no stranger to adversity. They see this loss as an opportunity to improve on the weaker aspects of their game. Look for a newly focused Academy as they take on ROOT Gaming next week.
