Today compLexity is announcing the departure of our friend Chad "Minigun" Jones.
Chad joined compLexity in June of 2011 and has contributed greatly to our efforts in StarCraft II. Recently, however, he has decided to step down from professional competitions and no longer desires to attend live eSports events. Thus we have mutually agreed to part ways and we have agreed to release him from his contract early so that he can pursue a more relaxed gaming experience.
We'd like to thank Chad for his loyalty, hard work and dedication. He is a wonderful person and player and we greatly enjoyed having him as part of our gaming family. Chad had the following to say:
Being in compLexity was a lot of fun, and made a few new friends. It was a great year and a half, but I am looking to take a step down from competing, at least for a little while. I wish them the best of luck, and please continue to support them after my departure.

qxc, Sasquatch, Trimaster who are semi-relevant. If there are others, I don't even remember their names.
Logical development since Minigun doesn't want to attend tournaments anymore, maybe he'll rejoin ROOT if he even wants a team again.

But he said he doesn't want to compete in starcraft anymore? Looks like retirement to me (at least temporarily).

Jason Lake and Jason Bass will get into GM and tear up the 2v2 tournament scene. There's not much else they can do with that roster at the moment. :D
Jokes aside, I think Jason Bass posted on Reddit that they had already signed another player and more were to come, it seems like they're just going through roster changes while ditching the house because it didn't work out. Maybe downsizing a bit.

 I was hoping this would mean he'd return to his ROOTs, but I guess he's taking a break, if not retiring.
|
If anyone has not seen the 20 minute mini documentary complexity released with a small interview of Minigun I suggest they watch it. Minigun is a great guy and regardless for his personal reasons on leaving I'm sure he'll be around online.
edit: I'm not saying this is why he left, just some insight on how he feels~
Good luck to him :D
|
It will be interesting to see how/if Col rebuilds there sc2 division.
Good luck Minigun
|
one of the american talents never made it to the top
well perhaps he is just sad train train train and not getting what he hopes for, must be hard feeling see gosuuser and co be so strong nowadays and not being able to go the same way
sad but thats esport, the best survive the rest will die (a good way)
wish ya best of luck in future minigun !
|
Best of luck, Chad. Just don't stop streaming please ~
