Complexity continues \u2018juggernaut\u2019 rebuild by dropping Dephh, ShahZaM Complexity Gaming has released long-standing veteran Rory \u2018dephh\u2019 Jackson, and benched AWPer Shahzeb \u2018ShahZaM\u2019 Khan, as the organization continues to look for a \u201cjuggernaut\u201d roster following their disappointing Berlin Major campaign. Complexity found themselves punted from the last major in a shock upset to Australian underdogs Grayhound Gaming, which sparked organization founder Jason Lake to declare he would be looking to \u201cbuild a juggernaut\u201d at any price. The org, owned by the Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, and residential magnate John Goff since the end of 2017, moved quickly. Hunter \u2018SicK\u2019 Mims and Ricardo \u2018Rickeh\u2019 Mulholland were benched almost immediately. To replace them, the American team acquired benched Cloud9 star William \u2018Rush\u2019 Wierzba, and Heroic\u2019s Benjamin \u2018blameF\u2019 Bremer. Lake also backed up his post-major statement to pay any contract buyouts and offer \u201cthe world\u2019s highest salaries\u201d to any players willing to join Complexity. 1pv.fr reported that blameF\u2019s buyout topped out at $500,000 USD. Now the NA team\u2019s next moves have been revealed with Dephh, who has been a leading figure for the roster since he first joined from CAZ eSports in February 2016, being shown the door, while ShahZaM was benched and told he could look for other opportunities. While his four-year tenure under the Complexity banner has come to an end, dephh didn\u2019t seem to be too disappointed to be stepping away from the team, and took to social media to wish the org\u2019s new roster good fortunes. \u201cWas probably even a little too late, but my time with Complexity comes to a close,\u201d he said. \u201cA great set of people that I\u2019ll miss thoroughly. Thank you for the opportunities and the memories. Good luck to the new team!\u201d Was probably even a little too late, but my time with complexity comes to a close. A great set of people that I\u2019ll miss thoroughly. Thank you for the opportunities and the memories. Gl to the new team! https:\/\/t.co\/VShmgYCRtb \u2014 dephh (@dephh_csgo) October 28, 2019 Dephh\u2019s departure from Complexity marks a major closing chapter for the organization, who described their outgoing UK star as a \u201ccultural rock\u201d for the team over the past four years. The Englishman signed to the team in 2016 to replace Timothy \u2018autimatic\u2019 Ta and Kory \u2018SEMPHIS\u2019 Friesen. From there, the team marched to a quarter-final appearance at the FACEIT London Major in 2018, the org\u2019s best result since EMS One Katowice 2014. They followed up their London success with a decent showing at the IEM Katowice 2019 Major, before now-Evil Geniuses superstar Peter \u2018stanislaw\u2019 Jarguz\u2019s departure set them on a downward spiral that landed them a 12-14th place in the Berlin Major in August. With Complexity\u2019s October 28 roster announcement, their post-Berlin overhaul looks nearly complete. Just 16-year-old Owen \u2018oBo\u2019 Schlatter, who joined the roster in June of this year still remains in the active playing roster. Head coach Jaime Hall also stayed on board. The next step now for Lake and Complexity is their recruitment drive to replace their outgoing veterans, and rumors have already blossomed about their potential future pickups. Kristian \u2018k0nfig\u2019 Wienecke could be the next pick-up for the NA team, according to 1pv.fr. The Danish rifler left OpTic Gaming after the roster decided to disband in October, and has been in the market for a team ever since. Complexity was forced to forfeit its ECS Season 8 match on October 28 due to the roster changes. The organization next plays against Team Envy on November 15 in ESL Pro League Season 10. It is expected the roster will be finalized ahead of that matchup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
