coL.Academy Introduces Team Commentator Samsc2

August 22nd, 2012

Let’s start off with an introduction. Tell us a little bit about yourself Sam, how long have you been involved in eSports and StarCraft2? What do you like to do outside of StarCraft activities/hobbies etc.

I’m an 8 year military veteran, culinary chef, and video game shout-caster. I’ve been involved with eSports for only about 4-5 months with my casting and streaming, but I’ve been casting for over a year now. Outside of StarCraft I usually love to watch movies and continue to try out new and interesting recipes. I’ve even been hosting my own cooking show on my stream which is a lot of fun!

You are now going to be the official compLexity Academy caster, how do you feel taking on this role?

This is an amazing offer to be able to work with a big team on a more constant basis! I really think it’s going to be able to push my career to an all time high and hopefully I’ll be able to grow my skills as a shout-caster.

What would you say are some of you casting strengths? Where are some areas you are looking to improve?

My casting strengths are my ability to talk on an almost constant rate haha and engaging the chat while not taking away too much from the cast itself. I feel I’m fairly good at the play by play style of casting but I could use an analytical side mixed in.

We are very excited to offer this opportunity to you! Is there anyone out there you would like to thank, or give a shout out too?

I would like to thank all the teams that have let me cast their games up until now. I’d also like to give a special thank you to my friends Pascal and Kevin!

JoinDOTA’s Team Analysis on compLexity.DOTA2

compLexity.DOTA2 has been featured as a part of a series produced by Roegnvaldr of joinDOTA. The article itself gives a run through of compLexity’s history with DotA, having entered the scene relatively early in comparison to the other major organizations. There is also a detailed history of the team, going through their journey together and how they formed. The players and their individual stories are also featured.

Here is a small excerpt from the article:

Chances at The International:

Very high. They have frequently shown us their capabilities and their individual skills are frequently outshined by their team fight capabilities. compLexity Gaming offers a tough choice for their opponents when drafting – You can either let coL get the heroes that they are comfortable with and ensure a very hard to win match, or try to deny their favourite heroes in order to open more dangerous choices to them.

A prominent force between the other teams, coL seems to be less recognized than they should. They will most likely be one of the top teams of The International 2.
