Counter-Strike Source: Complexity Officially Goes Source

The Syndicate officially announces the move to CS:Source.
USA (GotFrag) - In an official announcement by way of an article titled "The Evolution of Complexity Gaming", Jason Lake and his organization have announced the switch to CS:Source for the CS 1.6 squad. This announcement confirms what most people in the community have known for several days, coL is going Source.

Complexity has been one of the best known, respected and even feared Counter Strike teams in North America and the world for quite some time now. Complexity is the #1 ranked team in the GotFrag North America Rankings and recently slipped to #3 from #1 in the GotFrag World Rankings. The team placed first at WSVG ISC this past summer but dissapointingly did not make it out of group play at the CPL Winter 2007 Championship.

Speculation about which teams would switch games has been high since the announcement by DirecTV and CGS that the game of choice for CGS would be Source. 3D announced the switch this week along with roster changes and were added to CEVO Pro Source Season III. Several other top CS 1.6 teams followed suit over the next couple of days with Complexity added to the list of teams by CEVO but without an official response from the Complexity organization.

Complexity did announce roster changes earlier in the week with the announcement that Corey “tr1p” Dodd and Justin “sunman” Summy had been released from the squad and a few days later naming Ronald “Rambo” Kim and Marcus "zet" Sundström as the replacements for Dodd and Summy.

The following is an excerpt from the official Complexity announcement found at complexityclan.com:

Today, The Syndicate is officially confirming news that has been the subject of much speculation over the past few weeks. Today coL.cs is officially moving to Counter-Strike: Source.

...Our decision to switch our primary gaming squad to CS:Source is in no way suggesting we prefer the platform over 1.6. This move is about the future and what we believe needs to be done to take our organization and E-Sports in general to the next level.
