This is good stuff, basically what LiquidRising should have been. Actual behind the scenes stuff, tournament preparation, sponsor stuff, talk between manager and player etc. etc.

Interesting mini doc but I have to say that the future does not look bright for Complexity, if they are unwilling to push their players or even to get players that are serious professionals that take esports seriously they really can't compete in today's climate.


Everyone on Complexity is incredibly motivated. Even as far reaching as the managers for the academy team. If you ever get the chance you should talk to some of them at a live event. The players, and even the mangers, are some of the most competitive people you'll ever meet. The good thing about Complexity is that the team managers understand that you shouldn't take things away from players that literally may alter, or negatively affect their life. Besides, a lot of the players involved in complexity are young and in college, but look at QXC. He finished college and is now playing full time for Complexity. I'd say that's a serious professional, especially if you saw how he stated his goals in the video. !

and edit:
you may want to watch some of the old Complexity Counter Strike raw footage documentaries to really get an idea of how behind his players Jason, the CEO of the team, really is. He's pretty amazing :D

Good stuff! I enjoyed this Doc. very much.
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

Ehh it felt like most of the documentary was just the CEO showing off and walking around like he owns the place.

I liked how not everything said in this documentary is positive about the team. It doesn't seem like a commercial, and it's very fun to watch.

Also, Jason Lake is the only team leader who understands that it's beneficial for him to be one of -- if not the -- biggest star on Col. Players might come and go, but he'll always be on the team.

I don't post a lot but I thought I'd log in to say that I really, really enjoyed this video. Far better than Liquid Rising for me.

it's not like that at all. Players have to motivate themselves. It doesn't matter what the team/managers do or say to make them better. The game isn't figured out as much yet so coaching to pro players aren't traditional coaching you find in our daily sports. I don't see them as unwilling to push their players.

In the western scene, many players are studying in school right now. They're taking the football approach where they want their players to have a diploma or degree so after they're done player they will still have a future and career to pursue. I'm pretty sure the Korean players go to college/university too. Just think of how many pros are in med school right now? That's pretty much one of the most time consuming program out there. Stephano, Minigun, Suppy, etc.

The managers don't yell at the players because they have to keep their spirits high. They're pushing them but in a positive way. If Ed just bitched at Heart after he lost to Socke, what do you think that would achieve?

He does own the place. That's what a CEO is.

Maybe you shouldn't say stupid things :/

I can see how some people might feel a bit overwhelmed with the marketing side of things in this video but they got to understand that this is the reality of esports right now as well as many other competitive scenes outside of esports. Sponsors make everything we have possible including this very website we all communicate on. I love how this documentary spends some time showing how the players take part in the marketing aspect and doesn't just shove "love of the game" fluff down your throat. If being on a pro team meant I had to flaunt my sponsors you bet your ass I'd be down to do so whenever possible.

That was a well-produced 20 minute documentary. In those 20 minutes I was able to see how the players are treated, how well the players communicate with management (Lake), and what goes on behind the scenes on coL. The player management is a perspective I have never seen before.

If this is actually how it truly is on coL, props to JLake. I love the fact that he puts education first and foremost over all things. As great as we know eSports is, we all know it's not sustainable living forever.

Not yet, anyways.
