What did Complexity Gaming get started?

What challenges did they run into at start-up? How did they overcome them?

How exactly does Complexity Gaming make money?

When looking at a team/player (depends on the game) what does management look at before they consider making an offer

Was 2012 the plateau of the e-sports explosion or do you feel we aren't there yet?

What is their long-term SC2 Goal, do they think they're on track to achieve it and what more could be done to achieve it.

There's quite a number of good free agents on the market right now (primarily Korean). Is Complexity looking to recruit through avenues other than the Academy right now? With Killer gone and [I think] Ganzi gone, complexity's Korean roster is surely no longer one that will be winning the EG MCSL.

I remember Jason saying in a interview back in the days of cs 1.6, that eSport was "doomed to fail" if the Direct TV Championship wasn't a success. Since it wasn't a success and a lot of people got hurt because of it, I would really like to know what were Jason motivations to continue working in eSport. Like Jason said in their latest documentary, he risked his financial future in that Direct TV Championship and lost a lot. I would really like to know why he decided to keep on working in eSport. I admire his passion for it. I would also like to know why at that time he thought that eSport was to fail if the Direct TV Championship wasn't a success.

I have 4 questions. 3 of them kind of tie into each other.

#1 With the current news of eSports teams that seem to be fizzling out (Pulse, possibly Quantic, etc.), do you think that this is a management issue or the dreaded "eSports Bubble" that we keep hearing about?

#2 How is your relationship with ROOT gaming since their departure from Complexity. Do you have any part in ROOT's success so far as a team?

#3 (Ties 1&2) It seems that ROOT is having a bit of a difficult time getting sponsers behind them (they just picked up Das Keyboards). However, they are one of the communities favorite entities. What advice would you give for teams like ROOT and upcoming teams to get sponsers to invest into their team?

#4 Do you think Garret's hair is killing, or helping eSports?

Can you give me one of those HotS beta keys?

...

Does Complexity have any plans to get some of the main roster players involved in Korean tournaments such as EG-TL?
