Another blow by this "1"

Jason Lake aka "1" knows how to be number 1. This time Jason Lake has

proved that he can do anything to be number one. Brand Complexity no

doubt means to be best wether its the 1.6 scene or the source complexity

has proved itself.
So this time Lake instead of making a new team and taking it to the top complexity gaming has simply bought the already top team . Yes ! Complexity had bought all the contracts of x3o , which I think is currently top team of America.

So the new coL will be :

Andrew "Irukandji" Timmerman
Ryan "Ninespot" Bell
David "savi0r" Park
Jeff "hero" Mettetal
Derek "dboorN" Boorn

Old school expels its oldest kids !

In a very much expected event the Complexity Gaming has a announced release of its CS 1.6 squad. After very poor peroformance by the team which left them just as a mediocre team from USA, they were not able to gain rights to play in any of the recent International tournaments. Jason Lake said he was very disappointed by this and the brand Complexity was not defined by this team.Complexity currently ranked 9th in ESEA league has an All-star squad of some the mmost experienced e-athletes.But since their induction after the fall of CGS they have never been able to give performance that would be expected from a team like that.
The rooster contained :

• Justin "sunman" Summy
• Mike "method" So
• David "zid" Chin
• Sal "Volcano" Garozzo
• Erik "da_bears" Stromberg

Statement from Lake posted on complexitygaming.com.
"We feel an integral part of this rebuilding process is the construction of a championship caliber Counter-Strike squad worthy of representing the world’s best gaming community: the coL Community. We will not rest, nor be satisfied, until we once again find the championship combination of players that possess the traits necessary to earn a long standing tenure with our organization and make our fans proud. With that being said, most of our research has already been conducted and we expect to announce the new roster very soon."

The new Complexity roster is expected to be released in the coming days as Jason Lake that the research for new squad has been carried for a while and the draft will be announced soon.

Moreover Sal "Volcano" Garozzo has announced retirement from Proffessional Gaming because he has found a full time job (for those who don't know he has a degree in Computer Science).

Col is now EG

In a press release on 14th december, Alex Garfield, owner of the Evil Geniuses' organization, announced a historic team shuffle. The new team goes like this :

• Jordan "n0thing" Gilbert
• Danny "fRod" Montaner
• Matt "Warden" Dickens
• Tyler "Storm" Wood
• Corey "hanes" Hanes
  

Shocked !!!! Yah man EG has hired 4 of the Col guys to be part of their CS team. After the downfall CGS (no doubt source sucks !! and I knew it was gonna happen some day), it was obvious that Col was goin to return to 1.6, And here they are.

The basic outline of this team as told by frod in an interview will be :

• Warden : no doubt he is the cap, as expected warden is the strat caller and he will also will be playing his role as an aggressive gunner.
• Frod : The star of stars ..the prime AWPer.
• Storm : Will continue to support the team with his rifle skills.(He always remind me of the colt obsession).
• Hanes : Known for his fast acrobatic movements is another gunner for the team.
• Nothing : the young-blood.. he will again be an aggressive gunner.to what he calls as "Runnin and gunnin".

When asked about Rambo not being the part of this new team frod responded "Our team has always had a formula and certain way we approach the game in terms of strategy, teamwork, and etc. This has been a defined formula that we as a team know is proven to work, going all the way back to the success of United 5 in 2003. We have always had every member of the team follow their certain role, and in doing so we feel we are most successful. Ron was a great player, but he didn't fit well with the formula, nor did he adjust to it, which made things difficult sometimes".

We hope Nothing fits well as United 5. Even Nothing was happy with his new team-mates showing a slight negative response for old EG.He commented "It just wasn't working out. As much as I liked those guys, we weren't seeing eye to eye anymore and I'm looking forward to playing with the new EG players."

Now when this great line up is ready we hope they rock the world. Regarding performance no one must doubt them.They are few of the most senior players in the e-sports scene. Regarding 1.6 .. its their true game. They stood second in CEVO 9 and won CGS Pro-am 1.6. And that was when their main focus was on source . Now hope they shine again ...

Best of luck Col ..ooops!! Sorry .. EG

Best of luck for 2009.
