Gabriel “Fallen” Toledo was recently interviewed by Teamplay.com. The interview dives into the life of Gabriel, from his Counter-Strike play to his activity in the Brazilian military. The interview is natively in Portugese, however a link to the translation can be found below the excerpt.

Bom, não tem como comparar a vida real com a vida virtual, no virtual você toma tiro, morre e tem o respawn. Já na vida real, você está no Tiro de Guerra (Quartel em Itapetininga) e lá você aprende a ser mais frio possível. O que você acha que aprendeu com o quartel que dá para levar para dentro do game? A calma ou alguma estratégia do tipo, como surpreender o adversário?

coL.FalleN: O Tiro de Guerra muda muito com a cabeça das pessoas e muito muleque que entra lá sai homem. O que eu aprendi lá e vou levar para a minha vida toda é que quando você quer alguma coisa, não importa o que seja, desde terminar uma marcha de 16km com 12 kg nas costas ou acordar um ano todo às 4:30 da manhã com comprometimento você consegue. No Counter-Strike mais do que nunca eu sei que vou ser recompensado se der o meu melhor.

Do FEI para o coL – tente mencionar o que cada equipe que você já jogou te ensinou e qual dos antigos companheiros você gostaria de ter em sua equipe novamente? (Lembrando que a line-up do coL não irá mudar, é apenas uma suposição)

coL.FalleN: Antes do FEI joguei o primeiro campeonato pelo SoF. Depois do FEI entrei no crashers, onde tive a minha mais duradoura passagem no CS, joguei também pelo SOLDATS no 1.6. Após o crashers joguei pelo FireGamers e hoje jogo pelo compLexity. Houve uma época em que também joguei CS:Source, jogando na equipe do vsONE e no teamTD. Venci todos os campeonatos de source que disputei em lans, adoro esse jogo rs.

The Syndicate would like to wish coL.TF2’s own Daniel “Carnage” Sturdivant a very Happy Birthday as he turned 25 today!

Daniel first joined CompLexity in December of 2009 when it was announced that CompLexity signed the old Loaded.TF2 team. Since joining CompLexity, Carnage has led the team to multiple TF2 championships and the respect of the community as TF2’s best team. He continues to push the limits of the game while continuing to be a vital member of the CompLexity family.

Once again, we’d like to wish a very Happy 25th Birthday to Daniel “Carnage” Sturdivant!

After returning home from Blizzcon 2010, Jason Lake sat down with Alex “Sodah” Ringe for an audio interview. The interview discusses everything from the beginning of Sodah’s career to the controversy that his coL.Red team was involved in this past weekend as they took on aAa in the Blizzcon 2010 finals. The in-depth interview runs just over 23 minutes in length.

Last night, CompLexity Red participated in one of the most epic matches in WoW history with one of the most controversial outcomes ever. We were on site and have video footage from the match which includes some insane crowd reactions and a look into the intensity that was the Blizzcon 2010 WoW Finals.
