Valentin ‘poizon’ Vasilev. AWPer for Complexity for the last 21 months will no longer be a part of the team. Via a twitter announcement, Complexity thanked him for his services and wished him good luck in future projects.
The move comes after middling performances over the course of last year, with Complexity winning only 1 event throughout the online era. Complexity failed to qualify for the PGL Major in Stockholm and also bombed out of the BLAST Fall Circuit after being 16-0’d twice in less than a month, once by FaZe and then again by OG.
The juggernaut that was built by CEO Jason Lake, is only a shadow of it’s former self with Benjamin ‘blameF’ Bremer being the only remaining member from the squad. The roster shocked everyone with their performances at BLAST Spring Series 2020, beating Astralis at their own game.
They went on to win BLAST Premier Spring Finals 2020 over Team VItality as well, to prove that they weren’t a meme anymore. But it all went downhill from there as injuries and using stand-ins stagnated their performances. The downfall started with the departure of Owen ‘oBo’ Schlatter and the team couldn’t find a suitable replacement in the form of Justin ‘jks’ Savage.
The departures of RUSH and k0nfig and the addition of coldzera didn’t seem to solve their problems, hence inspiring the move for the Bulgarian AWPer as well. It will be interesting to see who Complexity picks up to fill his shoes, with a plethora of good AWPers available at the moment.
With this move, the Complexity roster is now:
- Benjamin ‘blameF’ Bremer
- Justin ‘jks’ Savage
- Patrick ‘es3tag’ Hansen
- Marcelo ‘coldzera’ David
- Luis ‘peacemaker’ Tadeu (coach)
