Complexity Solidifies Roster with Multi-Year Contract Extensions Amidst Organizational Uncertainty

Complexity Gaming, a notable name in the esports landscape, has taken decisive steps to secure its future in the competitive Counter-Strike scene.

The organization recently announced the extension of contracts for key members of its roster: Johnny “⁠JT⁠” Theodosiou, Michael “⁠Grim⁠” Wince, Ricky “⁠floppy⁠” Kemery, and coach Tiaan “⁠T.c⁠” Coertzen.

This move is particularly significant in light of the recent success and challenges faced by Complexity. The latter half of 2023 saw the team enjoy a surge in performance with Counter-Strike 2, including a runner-up finish at IEM Sydney and a strong showing at the BLAST Fall Final, only falling short against Finn “⁠karrigan⁠” Andersen’s FaZe team.

The announcement also arrives amidst swirling questions about the future of Complexity’s Counter-Strike division.

Recent developments involving Complexity’s parent company, GameSquare, raised conflict-of-interest concerns after it revealed plans to acquire FaZe Clan. This led to speculation about the potential need for one of the organizations to part ways with their roster. HLTV further reported that Complexity founder and CEO, Jason Lake, is seeking outside investment to potentially reacquire Complexity from GameSquare, a deal that, while initially expected to close in Q4 2023, is still ongoing.

Despite these uncertainties, the commitment shown by JT, Grim, floppy, and T.c to Complexity is a strong statement of intent. The organization’s roster, which also includes Jonathan “⁠EliGE⁠” Jablonowski and Håkon “⁠hallzerk⁠” Fjærli, remains intact and focused on future competitions. EliGE and hallzerk, having more time on their existing contracts, were not part of this recent extension.

In a letter accompanying the announcement, Jason Lake reassured fans and stakeholders, stating, “We’re not going anywhere.”

This sentiment underscores Complexity’s determination to maintain its presence and competitive edge in the esports arena despite the ongoing corporate negotiations.

Complexity’s current roster is a blend of talent from across the globe, featuring players from South Africa, the United States, and Norway, along with their South African coach. This international lineup reflects the global nature of esports and the organization’s commitment to fostering a diverse and competitive team.

As Complexity heads into the 2024 season with a solidified roster, the esports community will be watching closely to see how the team continues to evolve and compete on the world stage, navigating through both in-game challenges and organizational dynamics.
