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 | ||

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. | ||

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? | ||

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. + Show Spoiler + Not yet, anyways. | ||
