Today we are announcing changes to the compLexity Dota 2 division. Effective immediately offlaner Jaron ‘Monkeys’ Clinton and trial mid Eric ‘747’ Dong will be departing the team. While both are skilled players and were a pleasure to work with, the team’s inconsistent performance is a clear sign that play styles were not meshing. The remaining players and management agreed that it was time to move in a different direction going forward.

“While we didn’t reach the level of success we were looking for with this lineup, I can truly say it has been a great experience working with both Jaron and Eric. The team worked hard and had a consistently positive environment, even after tough losses. We are sad to say goodbye to two friends, but we would also like to thank them for their hard work and ongoing support.

Looking at the future, we’re going to be evaluating our options for the TI7 roster lock. We’re not going to rush into this, so we appreciate your support and patience during this process.”

– Kyle Bautista, compLexity General Manager

We at compLexity would like to thank Jaron and Eric for their hard work and dedication. Stay tuned for updates on coL.Dota events, new additions, and other information.

During that time he has grown immensely as a competitor and a streaming personality, and we’re confident that he will continue to thrive in his new organization.

“I’d like to thank compLexity for everything they’ve done to help me grow as a player and get to where I am now. I have nothing but good memories from the team and organization and wish them all the best of luck in the future.

Today the compLexity Gaming family and our stream team is proud to present it’s newest member, Gwent streamer and voice model Connagh “Merchant” Hawkins.

For a while now, Connagh has made rounds through digital card games, as well as a host of other games. In fact, not only has he played games for the majority of his life, but he also has spent the last couple of years of his professional career as a balancer and community manager for Runescape Legends, as well as for the “oldschool” Runescape.

Now the Brit with gaelic roots and the very deep voice is closing that chapter of his life and starting as a full-time streamer. First and foremost it will be all about the card games, such as Gwent and Hearthstone, but don’t be shocked to see other games pop up on his stream every once in awhile.

“Gwent as a game has been on our radar in the recent past, but it wasn’t just the game that convinced us. In talks with Connagh we met a smart person with a vision for his future, an understanding of the environment. He had the drive, passion and work ethic that we are looking for in compLexity Gaming – he just was a great fit.”

– Sören “Fantasy” Vendsahm – compLexity Hearthstone Manager

So make sure to follow Merchant along on his journeys through video games on Twitch and Youtube. Also give him a warm welcome to the compLexity family on Twitter!

Today we are are announcing a change to the coL.Dota roster. Effective immediately, Antonio ‘canceL’ Mihai will be stepping down from our active Dota 2 roster.

Since his recruitment in September, we have been thrilled to have canceL on board. His unique personality, drive to compete, and relentless enthusiasm made the team and the organization a better place. However, in past weeks the team’s performance has faltered and Antonio was the first to point out that he was not performing at the level the team needed, nor what he expected of himself. Since then we have redoubled our efforts to try to help canceL make the improvements necessary, but we’ve simply fallen short. Following a team meeting last night, the players reached a mutual conclusion that canceL would step down from the competitive roster.

While canceL is going to take some time away from Dota, it is our hope that he will remain part of the compLexity organization and stream under our banner from home in Romania. Players of Antonio’s personal character and integrity are rare, so we would be very grateful to have the continued opportunity to work with him.

While changes like these are never easy, we want to thank canceL for his mature approach to the situation, from being self-aware enough to recognize that there was an issue, to volunteering to step down for the betterment of the team.

“Unfortunately in the recent qualifiers I was not performing at a level that I expected of myself, and I felt I was holding the team back. As a result I decided to take some time to work on my play individually, rather than holding my team back. I am stepping down in the hopes that the team can find someone that is able to help them win, while I improve on my own. I would like to thank coL.Dota, compLexity, and the fans for the good times. I’m sorry to have disappointed this time, but I will keep working hard and I will not give up.”

– Antonio ‘canceL’ Mihai

“When we first recruited Antonio I was a bit skeptical. His reputation wasn’t the greatest, nor was his track record. Much to my delight, it turned out that he was not only a skilled player, but an exceptional human being. I can truly say it has been a delight working with him. It is regrettable that his raw talent wasn’t able to translate to success within the team environment, but I know that he gave it his all, each and every day. I am sad to see him departing the competitive team, but following some time away from Dota, I hope we will be able to continue working with him as a streamer and personality.”

– Kyle ‘Beef’ Bautista, General Manager

In the coming days coL.Dota will be trying out players to fill the open slot. In today’s Elimination Mode 3 match we will be using Eric ‘747’ Dong.

We thank you for your continued support of coL.Dota and the compLexity organization.

Today we are announcing a change to our Counter-Strike: Global Offensive roster. Effective immediately Cory “ape” Bate will be released from the compLexity Counter-Strike roster. We’re very grateful to have had Ape play for compLexity over the last four months, and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

Joining the team will be Derek “desi” Branchen. A North American CS:GO Veteran, Derek most recently played for Winterfox during the 2015-2016 season. In the next few days Derek will be traveling to the coL.cs team house in Denver, Colorado to bootcamp for the team’s upcoming appearance at DreamHack Masters Las Vegas.
