Thought it would be prudent to create a thread for coL's return to the scene, considering how successful they were back in 2012. Will need a better picture though, to stay on par with the other threads...

I think the fact that there are no replies 17 hours into the thread shows how little coL pickup of the team actually is. Not a force to be reckoned with unless plenty of practice occurs which only time will tell. Only really now of the team from Moon's stream, so I do have limited knowledge.

A capable team definitely. Not expecting to see that HoN-level dominance from them, though.

I think once the players expand their hero pools a bit, they can be a tier 1 team. I think EG will beat them 2-0 in the ESL qualifiers at this point in time but I think the gap will start to close over time.

they will be in the international in 2015.

I really doubt any other team will practice as much as they will. The difficult part will be surviving through this stage when they are losing more than winning.

Well, they sure need to get more experience. So far, from what I've seen, they seem pretty capable. Coordination is there, execution is there etc. What they're lacking now is really good "game sense" and knowledge of all the timings, but that can only come with experience.

I still think their performance is really good considering that they've been playing DotA for what, 2-3 months? Their games against Empire in EMC2 were pretty good, despite them losing. And overall their performance is quite OK so far.

For those of you who didn't follow these players from back in HoN, here's a post game interview from NASL. 3/5 players from the current coL DotA2 after their win over 3/5 players from the old FnaticMSI DotA2 (also Tralf and Gretorp), it's crazy how young some people looked just 3 years ago

B9 removed from coL, I wonder who will replace him. People are saying DeMoN but I've not seen any evidence to back that up

Wish coL could lock down a stable roster, surprised to see B9 gone so fast

Also Jimmy is pretty good now that he doesn't throw super hard but agreed that he doesn't really make sense in a non-core position. Can't see him being the kind of player to play without farm.

isn't mynuts on lajons with era?

in any case, it looks like dragonfist is coL's current goto standin... with moon playing support. who knows how long this will last, though the times I've gotten a peek at moon's stream, he's been playing supports in the past couple of days.

DeMoN joining in a core role isn't that far-fetched considering MoonMeander is 24/7 supporting on stream. I think it would be a silly move though if you think bout how fast MoonMeander farms as pos 1.

Will Waga play 1 role for them instead of moon or mid instead of swindlemellonz? In all honesty, Swindlemellonz has not impressed me at all with his mid play, albeit I don't pay too much attention to this team. It seems like his hero pool is super limited and really only includes simple to play heroes. I feel like whenever I watch he's usually losing mid or at best going even. Maybe I'm biased against him from HoN.. Waga seems like a much higher caliber player but idk if swindlemellonz could play any other role...

I guess he picks simple heroes because of his role as a team captain? He needs to coordinate things and all that.

I'm honestly super happy that coL won the quals. hopefully they can do respectable at ti5. I think 8-12th range is realistic and would be pretty good for them.

According to Fluff, coL has been doing pretty well in scrims. Who they have been scrimming though is really a mystery. What we do know though is that swindle has expressed a lot of interest in scrimming Secret (although I think Secret doesn't scrim very much/at all) also, they have scrimmed EG at least once. I know that scrims aren't representative of actual matches but this is still good news.

They're doing really well! A lot better than I think anyone anticipated. I might expect them to fall a bit in the rankings on Days 3 & 4 though... they have a tough schedule ahead. They still haven't played Fnatic, C9, Secret

They went 1-1 with IG. Considering their first 3 games vs Chinese teams were disasters, that they won game 4 gives me some hope for them. They are looking surprisingly good.

"We were just not on the same level as sG, they were far superior to us and every other team, and we were constantly the underdogs going into matches. Besides all they ran was this one strategy, and we were too stupid to figure out how to counter it, although i’m pretty sure they were just abusing the stale balancing of the game."

Read what Zai said about the Freedman brothers (they were on sG) back in 2014. These guys were actually better than ppd and Zai at HoN. I don't think that's going to carry on in dota (at least not in ti5) since ppd and Zai are on much better teams now. Still, their skill from HoN does seem to somewhat translate into skill in dota.

Impressive performance by coL, I didn't see a lot of their games but I really liked their drafting today. Really curious to see how they will do in the playoffs.

I'm really looking forward to seeing coL vs EG. It's a very interesting matchup. Although I don't know PPD's history with the coL guys from HoN fully, my understanding is that at least at some point they were rivals and swindle etc. were coming out on top?

Not that it necessarily translates into anything in dota, but I think it sets up a very interesting match. I'm sure also in their own minds EG sees themselves as the heavy favorite. coL on the other hand plays with much less pressure and perhaps due to their competitive experience from HoN and knowing PPD from there they won't mentally crumble. And judging by their drafting this far they will come very well prepared.

Though I have a hard time seeing EG dropping the series, but I'm still excited to see it.

i mean ppd's cynical and cocky at times and he can be a bad loser but he doesn't strike me as a guy who would make up this kind of shit. tho it is 2 years old and i know nothing about the hon scene so idk.

It turned out to be mostly lies. Either PPD was making it up, or more likely, had a bad source. There's another thread as well as a youtube video on Swindle's official response. The tax/stealing money part was definitely fake, and S2 confirmed that they worked with Swindle to ensure everyone received equal prize money.

I don't think it's that simple...

If I remember correctly, PPD got the info secondhand through Khezu (who was one of swindle's teammates who allegedly got his winnings withheld). There was a lot of back and forth going on, and I think ultimately people got paid what they deserved, but it left a bad enough of a taste in Khezu and sLiCKz mouths that they left staygreen even though they were winning all the tournaments.

I actually just read through the old forums today and my understanding is the following:

Yes, winnings were withheld for a while as that's what the US tax code mandates for foreigners earning money in the country. They eventually got it sorted out (albeit it was a contentious process and Swindle/his dad may have lied about consulting an accountant even though they were ultimately correct in withholding the $) and everyone got their fair share. All of this was resolved BEFORE ppd publicly posted that swindle stole money from Khezu/Slickz. It did leave a bad taste in Khezu/Slickz mouth, and probably prompted them to leave sG, but that was after it got resolved.

So when ppd posted the story, Khezu could have easily said something like "he didn't steal money from us, he withheld it per US tax laws and worked with S2 to get it to us and we eventually received it" but instead said something vague like "i don't confirm or deny these allegations" which simply added fuel to the fire and created a public spectacle.

It turns out Khezu had an agenda because he was mad at Swindle for wanting to kick Slickz. However people weren't sure why he was so mad as at the time Swindle told him this Khezu/Slickz were planning to leave anyways.

Again, not that simple or one-sided. Khezu said I don't cofirm or deny those allegations because he told Peter about that stuff in secret and Peter (who has a long standing and very public grudge against Swindle) wasn't supposed to leak it to the public but did. There seems to be a lot of stuff that went on behind the scenes that people allude to but don't get into detail because enough things had already went public that shouldn't have been made public.

Khezu was mad at swindle even before the tournament because he didn't like how Swindle treated him, most apparent in the infamous Khezu scout with wolves video (original vid has been taken down otherwise I'd link it).

There's more to it than that but I'm not really interested in dredging up ancient history to smear players on a team I'm fans of/players that aren't even relevant to DotA2 at the moment. I think it's sufficient to say that it was a complicated issue involving multiple events, laws in multiple countries, teenage egos, and lots of different people who handled things in the worst way possible, but that's basically how things were done in HoN and it's in the past now. Swindle called Moon a vile human being who he regretted shaking hands with, and Moon quit coL as recently as earlier this year citing disagreements with swindle, but nowadays they're praising each others' qualities in interviews.

Yeah, HoN drama might be fun to read for the same reasons why people buy tabloid magazines like National Enquirer, but pretty much all that needs to be understood is there's bad blood between the two players stemming from a controversial roster decision to kick ppd a long time ago, a lot of stuff happened in between, and both went on a collision course by switching to DotA2. Peter is being hailed as one of the best captains/drafters on NA's top team. Swindle is being praised as a great captain on NA's up and coming team. The two are now meeting in the first round of the main event of the biggest tournament in eSports history.

It's not really worth discussing. HoN had its share of drama. Swindlemelonzz is a polarizing character. He can bring out the very best out of players but also, sometimes, the worst. That said, all the players from that sad era made out and are 100x more professional and driven.

Been watching this crew for a long time and was expecting them to break out into the dota scene eventually. These guys will put in the hours to make it big. They might not have success yet but they have the method to achieve it in time.

Wish them luck against EG. The real tournament starts soon.

coL knocked out 9-12th which is where I was hoping they'd get to. $200k not bad, hope they continue. I'm not usually a hater but can coL improve with swindle playing mid and captain? They have a lot of terrible mid lanes against international competition.

I feel like it's too early to just say swindle will never be a decent mid; they need more exposure and play against top teams in tournaments to progress so we'll need to see how well swindle improves in the next year now that CoL is more on the map as a team.

I know it s easier to join a company who already got sponsorings etc. and the business is not easy to manage as a player, but they should have mixed up a different squad.

Saksa is super strong as a player, not cause he is 8k, he is outstanding in all the plays I saw, he would be a very good choice for the 3 sweds.

Rly strong team: Chessie, Limmp, Handsken, Saksa, Pajkatt.
That would be awesome!

they joined col because some have played with swindle zfreek. i think this is definitely a top 2 NA (lol!) team and much more stable than the previous team that imported euros to USA

according to beef the positions are flexible based on heroes, but it will be primarily chessie playing carry, limmp mid, and swindle offlane

I actually think this team could be pretty good, Its a shame kind of that they lost moonmeander to secret. Swindle on offlane is the one I am most doubtful of I think.

it really does hurt them when hes offlane and limmp has a limited hero pool. feel like other team can get around it but they'll have to figure something out

2 Lans incoming, 1 Major qualified. Well done, and good luck. Still following!

Still looks like this patch isn't figured out and a lot of curve balls to be had.

coL did awesome this tournament. I think they could have gone further if they weren't unlucky in groups/bracket to face EG. The Alliance win was huge.

Does anything know if they're 100% invited to next Major since they placed 5-6th?

for shanghai the top 6 teams from frankfurt got direct invites. then they gave to invites to team that had done well after frankfurt (alliance and VP). so it is very likely that both coL, fnatic and MVP will get direct invites for the spring major.

It always sucks to lose, but especially to lose when you don't play your best and this wasn't Complexity's best by far. Eg got in their heads, hopefully they do better in Manilla.

What's good is that col has their own approach to how the game is played. They don't blindly follow the meta. I think they need more experience though. Limmp also still needs a wider hero pool

Kyle has a great attitude even if he likes to fling the mud and fan the flames.

Their individual talent isn't the tops but that attitude is so much the underpinnings of sustained success.

I feel like Universe isn't that hungry for success anymore, but then again I feel the same way for a couple of other EG players. They seemed to just be going through the motions for quite some time.

Aui and Bulba have got something to prove, and have the skill to prove it. If anything it's the EG's core (all 3 of them) that I'd worry more about.

Definitely not tier 1. Tier 1 is reserved for world class teams expected to take large LANs imo. That restricts tier 1 to like TL, VGR, Newbee, and mayyybe OG/MVP?

I agree with this. I was a big fan of NiP before, and really like Swindlez attitude... No bullshit, just straight forward and says what he wants. With a little more time, this team will win a LAN (majors are a different kind of monster ).

Thing about col is that while they have been slowly but surely improving, the rate is much slower than their peers. They seem to lack that extra something to edge out games. Too many good performances but not converted into wins.

Something happened with the draft preparation for Newbee. They gave them pretty much all of their comfort heroes and so Newbee just ate them apart.

I didn't get a chance to watch the series against Empire, but the charts suggest it was closer. But the drafts seem a little off from complexity. Maybe they just have read the meta wrong, but they're looking at an early exit from Manila, pretty assuredly.

I think they are in a bad mindset at the moment. DC just defeated them 3-9 in their last engagements RIGHT before the major. . . They feel tilted. You see odd laning decisions. Missed spells out of nervousness.

I stopped watching after the first game vs newbee. Hope they wake up but I do not expect much ... Mindset is huge.

After watching the SL games against secret i think its safe to say that swindlezz needs to put some serious work into his laning skills because he set the ball rolling for secret to take game one, and he didnt feel like an impactful player game 2 (which should never be the case on a BM imo).

I never in my life imagined I'd ever cheer for compLexity, but I guess it's time to beliEEve. This roster looks really underwhelming though, which I'm sure means that they're going to win everything

Underwhelming lineup for EE. If he couldn't accomplish much with abed and dj (not even dominating SEA), I'm not sure what he can do with this stack. I like zfreek, but he really needs to move to a good team.

Not a fan of EE playing support(mainly cause i wanted to see him play carry and that i believe his shotcalling is carry-oriented) but who knows how this will turn out.

He made NTH work as a support so it's not out of the realm of possibilities.

Idk i said the same thing with NP 1.0 but his still managed to actually land a 2nd place finish on a tournament. It's kinda weird how he managed to actually finish top 2 at least once on every single roster he played.

That Fnatic team was never on the same page. Given EE's fairly micro-manager-styled approach, he's probably better off trying to run a team from the 5. I also think moving to the 5 should let him develop through some of the issues when he was trying to run things from the carry position.

Also, in a dose of reality, ppd's stack is in EU and there's 3+1 slots to the first set of DPC LANs. If EE has spent a week working on his warding, he'll be able to easily turn games against the rest of NA competition, minus EG & SVG's stack. That's a pretty "easy" path to at least the first Minor.

Is it just me or is EE plus Zfreek a reciepe for disaster.
Think EE should be able to play 5. Move seem inspired by N0tail.

N0tail was originally a 5 on EU Fnatic wasn't he? IMO i believe that shot calling should always be made from a support position. As the hard-carry, EE would've been too distracted by looking for places to farm and avoiding being killed.

I never seen Skem play but assuming that he got some talent I think this team could surprise.

Since I am of the crazy opinion that Limmp is an under valued player that never got a chance in a high caliber team, and that I would put Zfreek in a similiar category.

A lot of people were really underwhelmed by this roster but I don't think a full team of allstars is what EE necessarily needs to do well. Most of his teams over the past few years have had strong peaks but were plagued by inconsistency, I think he just needs a roster that clicks.

I wasn't too impressed watching Skemberlu before but EE probably knows a good carry player when he sees one.

Sneyking is good enough for this team, at least for now. Even though he was underwhelming, he still got top 8 at TI.

In any case as a Jacky Mao stan, I'm pretty happy with this team. Can't judge them fully til Skem has been in NA for a while. I think the move back to pos 5 is good and I think compLexity is an incredible org so I'm hopeful.

Skem might be the starplayer of the team(assuming that guy is actually good) but i feel like EE will have to look for some other pub player 1 pos player considering the visa/travelling issue situation his pinoy carry seem to be facing.

We might not likely see this current roster ever in its possible with the plaguing issues the pinoy player faces

Jeyo has been standing in because Skem hasn't been able to come to NA. I think his visa application to the US hasn't gone through. Not sure how long it should take. It's not a regular tourist visa but a more permanent one (not sure what exactly it is called).

But they did say that Skem is able to come to ESL and Dreamleague so they'll play with their full lineup at those events. Though at this point they haven't played a single game with Skem so it might take some time to get used to. ESL at least has a pretty extensive group stage with lots of games even if you don't do well so it's good preparation before the minor.
