Today we are announcing a change to our Call of Duty roster. In preparation for the upcoming second stage of the CoD World League, Jevon ‘Goonjar’ Gooljar-Lim will be replacing Chris ‘Parasite’ Duarte on the starting roster. Chris has already been released, and we are working with him to try to find him a new home for the upcoming season. With a wealth of experience and talent, we are confident that Chris will be highly sought after by multiple CWL teams. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

“After a season with mixed results, the squad decided we needed a roster change to adapt our playstyle to the current competition. We’re very happy to welcome Jevon to the team and are excited to have him on board,” said Jason Lake, Founder and CEO of Complexity Gaming. “We’d like to sincerely thank Chris for his time with us.  He’s a fierce competitor who did everything I asked with professionalism and maturity. I greatly enjoyed working with him and wish him the very best.

Jevon will begin training with the team immediately, and will be working with our management and legal representation to acquire an American P1-A athletic visa to ensure his continued ability to travel to US based LAN events.

Join us in welcoming:

Jevon ‘Goonjar’ Gooljar-Lim

@Goonjar

Jevon “Goonjar” Gooljar first started playing S&D variant GBs during Call of Duty: Black Ops. After the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Goonjar and his friends would begin to attend LAN events under the name of Donut Shop. His first major event with the team would be in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 at the MLG Winter Championship, where the team would finish in the top 10. In Black Ops 2, Goonjar played with Team Kaliber, where they would consistently place in the top events, making them a force to be reckoned with. During his inaugural Black Ops II days, Goonjar played under the handle “PingJar” before he adopted his newer name, “Goonjar.”

Today we are announcing further changes to coL.cs. Effective immediately, Kia “Surreal” Man will be assuming the starting position previously held by Danny “Roca” Gustaferri. Danny will complete our ESEA season and remain a salaried substitute for the roster while we conduct an active search to find him a new gaming home. We will be flying Kia to the United States in the next few days to begin training with the squad in Houston, Texas.

“I have mixed emotions today,” said Jason Lake, Founder and CEO of compLexity Gaming. “I’m excited we have found an amazing player to join our gaming family. We scouted different players from around the world before recruiting Surreal. He has solid fundamental skills and the heart and attitude of a champion. Given time I’m confident compLexity fans will come to love our newest UK import. On the other hand, I’m disappointed because Roca has decided he wants to move on. I had hoped to build a contender around Danny, but I respect his desires and wish him the very best in the future.”

Please welcome:

Kia “Surreal” Man

@surrealcs

Kia “Surreal” Man has come into Counter-Strike Global Offensive from the AVA community where he was an active, successful competitor.  Kia brings drive, skill, and the dedication needed to become a champion.  His teamwork and ability to find a way to win have struck an eye with the coL organization and we look forward to watching him develop into an essential part of our Counter-Strike team.

It is with great joy today that after receiving hundreds of applications, we have found our new Marketing Manager, Jessica “Jess” Brohard! As Marketing Manager Jess will be responsible for developing our outbound marketing strategies for the global eSports scene.

Jess Brohard has been around the game industry since college, when she worked for Ubisoft as a marketing and promotions intern during her senior year. Since then, she’s become a partnered Twitch streamer, and has worked as an on-camera and event host alongside a variety of companies such as Curse, DreamHack, HyperX, and Ubisoft. In early 2016, after a few months working for a marketing firm in a non-gaming capacity, Jess realized her true passions lay in gaming. 

“We’re very excited to welcome Jess to the compLexity family,” said Jason Lake, Founder and CEO.  “Our organization is one of the most historic in eSports.  While this is something we are proud of, we recognize the need to refresh and revitalize our efforts across the board.  Her hiring is the first step in what will be a renewed compLexity for 2016; a re-birth if you will.  I’m confident Jess will bring a new level of passion, creativity and fan interaction to lead our brand into the next decade.”

Jess had this to say in a personal address to her friends, subscribers and compLexity fans on Youtube:

We’d like to thank everyone who submitted their applications and participated in the interview process and once again, welcome Jess Brohard to the compLexity Gaming family!

For the last months the compLexity Inn has been home to stories of conquests from veteran members like Superjj and Ryzen, but today we open another chapter and welcome the next big player in Hearthstone. We are thrilled to announce our newest member – Danish player Simon “Crane” Raunholst.

After parting with his previous team just a few weeks ago, Crane has been one of the hottest free agents on the market. His reputation as one of the most hardworking and knowledgeable players in the world has made him a favorite not only in the community, but also among his peers. As a valued member of pro practice groups Crane made a name for himself with other players like Superjj, being hailed as one the best hidden secrets in the Hearthstone pro scene today.

“We have been interested in adding Crane to the roster for several months now.” Said compLexity Gaming.Hearthstone manager Sören ‘Fantasy’ Vendsahm about the newest recruit. “His talent, his skill, his experience and his mature approach are the core values that we looked for. Additionally he is well-respected within our player base, being a practice partner of JJ and a former teammate of Sottle. We’re proud to welcome him to the team.”

It has not just been the pro players who have taken notice of the talented Dane. The public recently had chances to see Crane in action when he qualified for the third Viagame House Cup as well as the most recent PGL Tavern Tales, and made a deep run in the HCT European Winter Prelims.

As a core member of the team moving forward, we wasted little time in creating opportunities for  Crane to compete. Immediately after signing with the black and red, Crane was on his way to Birmingham, UK. The newest member of the coL family will begin competition today in the Insomnia 57 Truesilver Championship alongside friend and now teammate Jan ‘superjj’ Janßen.

Please join us in welcoming the newest member of coL Hearthstone, Simon “Crane” Raunholst.

Today we are pleased to announce several new members to the compLexity Gaming Stream Team.  Each of the following new members bring their own unique flair (at minimum 15 pieces) to our organization and we encourage you to hang out with them in their streams.

In no specific order, we present to you:  Loyan, GoodGirlMiwa and Sickmotion!

Loyan
	Loyan has been streaming Hearthstone for two years and left university to pursue his dream of becoming a full-time streamer and professional player. His favorite class is Shaman and he looks forward to playing in more tournaments in the near future and streaming on a daily basis.  He is currently running a 365 day streaming challenge, which he has been running since September 2015.
GoodGirlMiwa
	GoodGirlMiwa is a 23 year old Swedish streamer who has been playing games her whole life. With her outgoing persona and endless energy she shortly grew a large audience and is today the owner of one of Sweden’s biggest Twitch channels. Miwa usually streams CS:GO but other games might occur. Instead of focusing on high end gameplay, Mia’s stream primarily works around viewer interaction and entertainment.
Sickmotion
	Like many gamers of his generation, Sickmotion has been playing video games almost all of his life, long before he was playing them for a living. The focus of his stream has been to balance entertainment with informative commentary with hopes of helping his viewers improve in their own games. Although primarily a league streamer, he is looking to start branching out to other games on ocassion and share the experience with his viewers.

The goal of the compLexity Gaming Stream Team is to help promote and grow streaming talent that does not always fit the competitive mold.  

“Competition is one of humanities greatest driving forces.  Sometimes, though, it’s nice to take a break, sit back and do something a little different.  Loyan, Miwa and Sick Motion are all really great personalities and we are proud to support their streams just as we would any of our competitive players,” said Brian Jackson, Stream Manager. “We hope to do a lot of new, fun and interesting things and plan to continue to grow our Stream Team.”

Be on the lookout for more new additions to the compLexity Gaming Stream Team in the near future!

Today we announce the departure of Robert “Waffster” Myers from our Hearthstone squad. Six months ago Waffster signed on as a member of our squad and during those six months he has continuously supported the team in tournaments, at conventions, and internally.

With his contract drawing to an end both compLexity and Waffster agreed that it would be best to part ways. For Waffster, splitting his focus between competitive Hearthstone and school is currently too arduous. Though his contract expired in January, we have waited to announce until now since Waffster was still a part of compLexity Gaming’s roster in the GamersOrigin Super Brawl #2 event. We felt like he should have a chance to finish what he had started as a part of the team.

We would thank him for his time in the organization, as well as wish him luck with his future endeavors both on the virtual table of Hearthstone and in any of his other pursuits. Thank you for your continued support of compLexity Gaming and coL Hearthstone.

Beginning on 2/10/16, coL.cs returns for another year of CS:GO.  The squad will be playing Team Liquid for ESL Pro League in a double header at 8PM EST.

In what will most certainly become the most competitive year in American Counter-Strike history, we have assembled a roster we feel is unique and full of potential. Danny “Roca” Gustaferri and Josh “Sancz” Ballenger are returning from the 2015 lineup. As previously announced, legendary compLexity superstar Danny “fRoD” Montaner is making his return to competitive gaming as our primary AWPer. Additionally, in an announcement that should come as no surprise, we have imported Rory “dephh” Jackson from the UK and recruited Josh “Shinobi” Abastado to be in-game leader.

Please welcome:

Rory “dephh” Jackson

@dephh_csgo

Josh “Shinobi” Abastado

@coL_shinobi

Dephh was identified by our players as an amazing talent and asked to try out with the team. Despite the high pings, everyone in coL.cs became convinced he has the skills, mindset, work ethic and attitude we are looking for. He has been moved to Texas so he can begin properly training with the squad. Shinobi is no stranger to the U.S. professional scene. He was most recently seen as the in-game leader for Denial, and has been spending long hours preparing with our coach Matt “Warden” Dickens for the upcoming year. We’re confident his continued growth will lead him to become one of the top callers in America.

Everyone in the organization is very excited to tackle the challenges, opportunities and very busy schedule ahead. 

Roster

•  Daniel “roca” Gustaferri – @coLroca / roca2k9

Today we have more updates to our Counter-Strike: Global Offensive roster. 

December, a season that is typically one of rest and relaxation, has been unusually busy this year. Next up on our schedule are the MLG Minor LAN qualifiers which begin today. This flurry of activity has created a bit of chaos for the North American CSGO community. We’ve done our best to navigate roster challenges and have decided it’s best to move forward with a bit of a unique arrangement.

Effective January 1st, Kory “Semphis” Friesen and Tim “Autimatic” Ta will no longer be a part of compLexity. After much deliberation, it was mutually agreed that we would sell their contracts. We greatly appreciate the short time they spent with our organization and wish them both the best of luck in the future.

This officially leaves two spots open on our CSGO roster. Management will spend the near future evaluating our options and speaking with top contenders from around the world. We invite professional players to contact our coach, Matt “Warden” Dickens if you are interested in the opportunity. Additionally, we have spoken with ESEA and CEVO and will be maintaining our professional roster slots with Warden remaining as a rostered player.

Due to the timing surrounding these changes we decided to invite two talented players to be substitutes for the time being. We believe both of them have great potential and we’re extremely excited to play with them. We’re also very grateful they are willing to fill in while we evaluate our final roster.

Please welcome:

Ronnie “ryx” Bylicki

@ryxCSGO

Hunter “SicK” Mims

@SicK_cs

Ronnie is no stranger to the professional scene and was most recently a starter for Tempo Storm and Conquest. He’s a passionate player with a strong work ethic and desire to win. Hunter is considered to be one of North America’s best up and coming players. He is relatively new to the game but has already established a strong reputation as a great player. We’re honored to be playing with both of them.
