Complexity Gaming

Verified Timeline

Lore & Background

Complexity entered the Rocket League scene on March 1, 2019, by adding the team of Metsanauris, Mognus, and al0t, who had previously competed under the Method banner. This move expanded the franchise's competitive portfolio, which already included titles like Apex Legends, FIFA, Fortnite, Hearthstone, Madden, Magic: The Gathering Arena, and Rocket League. The team joined an organization with a long history dating back to 2003, when founder Jason Lake paid two gamers from his own pocket to form a team. Complexity's Rocket League squad became part of a franchise that had weathered the folding of the Championship Gaming Series in 2008, a sale to DirecTV in 2006 (the exact price was not publicly confirmed), and a subsequent purchase by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and real estate investor John Goff in 2017, which relocated the team to Frisco, Texas.
