compLexity Secures P-1 Athletic Visa for Brandon “dashy” Otell

March 5th, 2018

Today, we are happy to announce that we have secured yet another P-1 Visa, this time for Brandon “dashy” Otell. Brandon joins a small group of Call of Duty players to have ever received a P-1 Athletic Visa.

We are proud that once again our players have been recognized for the passion and dedication they have shown over the years. compLexity became the first organization to secure a work visa for Marcus “zet” Sundström in Counter-Strike around a decade ago, and we are honored to be continuing the tradition of excellence in pro gaming.

Dashy will be joining his teammates in Frisco, TX immediately as we prepare for CWL Atlanta this weekend.

Thank you for your continued support!

Twitter Changes!

February 27th, 2018

After 10 years on the platform, we are happy to announce that we will be retiring the @compLexityLIVE Twitter handle in favor of something a bit more direct. Starting today, you can now follow us at @compLexity on Twitter. The channel will continue feature the same great content and match coverage you’ve come to expect over the last decade, along with exciting new series such as our behind-the-scenes “compLexity: POV” series and game highlight videos! 

compLexity’s legacy extends back to a time where there was no Youtube, Facebook or Twitter. When we originally joined Twitter it was a very different era. We saw it as a mechanism to send text messages to the phones of our fans if they wanted live score updates. Thus, the name ‘compLexityLIVE.’ That era is obviously long gone and we’re very excited to offer our community a more concise handle moving forward. Thanks to @Twitter for helping us make this happen.

– Jason Lake, Founder & CEO

Be sure to Tweet at us and let us know what you’d like to see. As always, thanks for your support!

Stream Team Adds s0m

February 21st, 2018

For over 15 years our philosophy has always been that of cultivating talent and building long-term relationships. During that time it has proved successful both in-game, as well as behind the scenes.

In the spirit of tradition we are proud to announce the newest member of our team, CS:GO prodigy Sam “s0m” Oh. The 15 year old CS:GO player has been working tirelessly in Rank S, pugs and on Twitch to develop his skill and brand, and we are excited to help him further along on his journey to become an elite player in the scene.

s0m was introduced to CS:GO by several of his friends in 2014. The game instantly connected with him and quickly turned into a passion. Honing his skills with hours and hours of practice, he became one of the top raw talents in the North American scene, a fierce competitor in Rank S and a terrific rifler. The future for s0m looks bright and we are excited to have him with us!

Be sure to give s0m the proper compLexity Gaming welcome when he starts his stream this afternoon and show him your support on Twitter.
