Today we are announcing the departure of one of our first stream team members – Mateusz ‘Loyan’ Roszkowski. Loyan joined the squad over a year ago as an ambitious and growing streamer in the Hearthstone community. With Noxious and Ryzen already on compLexity’s streaming team, Loyan fit right in as the Shaman expert that he was – before Shaman was cool, mind you.

Over the past year with compLexity Gaming, the young Polish streamer continued to entertain his viewers, but also grew into a fierce competitor in the community. Qualifying for the HCT – European Spring Championship proved to be just the beginning. He added an appearance at the WESG European Championships, as well as a Top 8 performance at DreamHack Winter 2016, competing against an open field of more than two hundred players.

It was that success that led Loyan to outgrow the role that compLexity Gaming initially had in mind for him.

“Loyan is a great and ambitious competitor, a top-notch player in the scene.” , Sören ‘Fantasy’ Vendsahm, coL.HS manager said: “We initially had him as a streamer, but his real drive and motivation shifted towards competing. Traveling to the LAN events, playing in team leagues, all of that. With our stacked roster we couldn’t always guarantee him a spot in some of the tournaments. It’s sad to see him go, but I personally believe it’s the best move for him. He will find a new home and hopefully will find as much success there as he had when sporting the black and red.”

We thank Loyan for his commitment and efforts as a part of the compLexity Gaming family and wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors.

Today we’re wishing safe travels to coL Overwatch as they head out on a two part journey to bootcamp and then MLG Las Vegas.

We’re proud to be sending our players to NVIDIA headquarters in Santa Clara, CA, to make use of their state of the art facilities. At the NVIDIA eSports Studio the players will have 6 days to hone their skills for MLG Vegas, and compete under ideal circumstances for the Winter Premier qualifiers.

We want to thank NVIDIA for this awesome opportunity. We hope to make great use of the facilities and make our fans proud at the upcoming events.

Today we’re proud to announce a new partnership, and a not so traditional one for our organization. Please welcome to the compLexity family, FYM Hot Sauce!

Keyboards, headsets, energy drinks, and even sleek chairs. They’re all things that through Esports have become synonymous with gaming. Our partnership aims to assist FYM in not only establishing themselves as a premier brand in the kitchen, but one that is known for their support of gamers and the Esports industry. FYM Hot Sauce is still fresh (like their ingredients!) to the eSports scene, but we’re excited to help them navigate the waters and expand their reach within gaming culture.

“Before I ever met Dane – FYM’s creator – I saw his product on the front page of Reddit. It was clear he had a passion for his product, and that got me excited too. Months later I see him on Reddit again, talking about Esports sponsorships and shitposting about my Dota 2 captain, Kyle ‘Melonzz’ Freedman. I think to myself, who the heck is this guy? He gets it! I spoke to Dane for the first time later that day, and after sampling the product he was so passionate about, we were sold. I cannot be more excited to work with someone who not only supports the Esports industry, but truly buys into the players and the community that make it great. Spicy memes and spicy hotsauce, I’m proud to be working with FYM.”

-Kyle Bautista, General Manager – @coL_Beef

“As the team chef, my main focus is the health of our players. The fast paced lifestyle of gamers can sometimes make it hard to eat nutritiously. Healthy, fast, flavorful. It’s hard to hit all three. We’ve always used hot sauce to add flavor to our meals, so I love that we’re now partnering with FYM Hot Sauce. We’re huge fans of the new beer based sauces that will be coming out soon!”

-Josh “Chef Josh” Schmidt, Team Chef and coL.Dota Manager – @Not_Schmidty

Check out the brand new FYM website and pick up some FYM Hotsauce for 10% off with code ‘COL‘. And don’t worry our friends across the pond, quick and affordable shipping is coming very soon!

Welcome to the familia, FYM!

Today we are announcing that Justin ‘jk’ Rosselle will be stepping down from the compLexity Dota 2 roster, effective immediately. Justin will remain a part of the compLexity organization while we undergo discussions with Valve regarding our participation at the Boston Major.

“Over the past two months the coL.Dota team has been training and competing in a large amount of events. Weeks upon weeks of practice and matches naturally lead to stress in players and teams. Unfortunately in this case, despite efforts to alleviate stress and remedy interpersonal issues, Justin has expressed that he no longer wishes to continue in his position as a player for our team.

We will be speaking with Valve to discuss how to best proceed with respect to the Boston Major, and we will be looking to use a substitute for this week’s upcoming Northern Arena BEAT Invitational. We will provide additional information when it is available.

We would also like to thank Justin for his time with the team. While he was not with coL.Dota for very long, he was integral to our success in qualifying for the Boston Major. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

Finally we would like to say sorry. Sorry to Team NP, to ESL, our fans and the viewers of tonight’s match. Respect for competition is one the pillars upon which the compLexity organization was built. Despite it being the only option available to us, swapping to a substitute mid-match is something that impacted the quality of the competition, and for that we appologize.

In 36 hours we leave for Montreal, and three weeks after that for Boston. We have work to do, but we hope to see you there, supporting coL.Dota.

Thank you.”

– Kyle Bautista – General Manager

As the competitive Overwatch scene continues to expand, we at compLexity are happy to do our part in supporting not only the competitive teams, but also the growing community’s casters and streamers. We’re therefore excited to announce the return of two coL alumni to our Stream Team: Daniel “carnage” Sturdivant and Josh “AskJoshy” Sutherland.

A member of compLexity Team Fortress 2 in 2011, carnage has played FPS games competitively for over 20 years, and has recently begun making a name for himself amongst the Overwatch Streamers. With a history playing Doom, Quake, Halo, World of Warcraft, and Bloodline Champions, we hope you’ll enjoy his high-level play as much as we do.

AskJoshy began his career in 2010 attending MLG events across America, and joined the compLexity family in 2011 as our exclusive Live Caster and Media Personality for our Starcraft 2 competitors. In the five years since then he has worked at IGN, Blizzard, and as a freelance caster for dozens of premier tournaments.

“It is my great pleasure and pride to be able to join the compLexity Gaming ranks as a content creator. It’s been 5 years since I last wore red, white, and black as a StarCraft 2 caster and interviewer for compLexity. A lot has changed since then in both my life and Esports in general, but apparently a lot has stayed the same. I am still trying to carve my niche and establish myself as a commentator and entertainer, and compLexity Gaming is still one of the most well-established, well-respected, and most importantly, hyper-competitive organizations in the industry. I want to thank both Jason Lake and Jason Bass for supporting me both in 2010 when we first started working together, and now. In the years in-between, I furthered my esports career working at both IGN Pro League and Blizzard’s Esports Department, mostly focusing on live events like Fireside Gatherings and BlizzCon. “The Jasons” would sometimes ask for my thoughts when it came to StarCraft, Heroes, ShootMania, and now of course Overwatch, and I’m glad that they still value my opinions and ideas. As of today, I’ll be a part of the compLexity Gaming stream team, creating nightly Twitch and YouTube content for Overwatch including commentaries, interviews, and tutorials. In 2016, I have already streamed over 1,000 hours of gameplay on my own channel and commentated over 25 different tournaments including Agents Rising, Beyond the Summit Cup, and the $300,000 Overwatch Open produced by FACEIT and ELEAGUE. I currently stream at 7 p.m. Pacific each weekday night, so I hope to see some new faces there in the coming weeks!”

Today we are announcing a new addition to the compLexity family, Niklas ‘Waga’ Högström! Waga has been a longtime fixture of the Dota 2 community as a player, caster, analyst and personality, as well as a friend to the coL.Dota team. His growth over recent years has been especially impressive, and we are now looking forward to helping him expand his horizons even further, as he takes on an advisory role in our organization. During his time with compLexity he will still be streaming, casting, and competing as he normally would, so fans will still get their dose of Waga!

Please join us in welcoming Waga to the compLexity family! You can catch him live now at https://www.twitch.tv/wagamamatv

Things have been a bit quiet on the competitive side of coL Hearthstone announcements lately, as we’ve been bolstering our streaming team. With Asmodai, Neviilz, and Tylerootd we’ve been able to secure some of the most recognizable and beloved community figures of Hearthstone, but now the competitive aspect calls once again. We are proud to announce German competitor and EU Spring Championship semifinalist Kevin ‘Casie’ Eberlein as the newest addition to our Hearthstone squad.

In our constant search for hidden gems and talent to develop, we believe that Casie is by far the best option out there. Not only has he proven his talent during the two most recent EU Preliminary events, but also at the big stage for the European Spring Championships alongside coL cardslingers Loyan and Crane in Los Angeles. Since then he has become a fixture in the professional scene as a creative deckbuilder and a player people ask for advice and practice sessions constantly.

“We are incredibly happy to have Casie on board. He is a standout talent in Hearthstone who I am sure will do great things for us in the future. Plus I now have another member I can talk German with!”

– Sören ‘Fantasy’ Vendsahm, coL.HS Manager – @coL_Fantasy

“I was looking for a team with players I like to play with. I talk and practice a lot with Crane and Loyan, so coL made a lot of sense to me.”

– Kevin ‘Casie’ Eberlein, newest member of coL.HS – @Casie_HS

Casie’s first appearance for the compLexity Gaming Hearthstone squad will be in the Deck Gauntlet 4.0 Team League as a substitute for superjj and Mryagut. His first LAN in the red and black will be DreamHack Winter 2016 where he will be one of five coL players traveling to Jönköping to chase that Major championship.
