SEMPHIS, autimatic leave coL
compLexity have announced that they will part ways with Timothy "autimatic" Ta and Kory "SEMPHIS" Friesen at the end of the year.
The North American team are currently in the process of revamping their lineup after failing to live up to expectations since signing for compLexity, in August.
Last night, coL caught headlines as they announced the return of Danny "fRoD" Montaner, one of the most accomplished players in the history of North American Counter-Strike.
SEMPHIS set to leave compLexity
The 2005 ESWC champion will guide the new coL roster, which is shorn of Kory "SEMPHIS" Friesen and Timothy "autimatic" Ta as the duo will be sold to an unspecified organisation, with the move coming into effect on January 1.
"After much deliberation, it was mutually agreed that we would sell their contracts," a statement from coL read.
"We greatly appreciate the short time they spent with our organization and wish them both the best of luck in the future."
coL now have just 2/5 of the core lineup of the previous season but they will still keep their spot in professional leagues as team coach Matt "Warden" Dickens remains a rostered player.
The organisation will spend the next weeks evaluating its options and speaking with "top contenders from around the world" before making a decision about the final two lineup members. Until then, the team will field Ronnie "ryx" Bylicki and Hunter "SicK" Mims, formerly of Tempo Storm and Denial, respectively, as stand-ins.
compLexity currently have:
Daniel "roca" Gustaferri
Joshua "sancz" Ballenger
Danny "fRoD" Montaner
Ronnie "ryx" Bylicki (substitute)
Hunter "SicK" Mims (substitute)
Matt "Warden" Dickens (coach)
