oBo steps down from Complexity

Striker

22/9/2020 - 18:45

Owen "⁠oBo⁠" Schlatter has made the decision to step down from Complexity, the organization's CEO, Jason Lake, has announced in a streamed press conference.

The 17-year-old has decided to bench himself in what appears to be a last-minute snap decision. According to Lake, oBo had originally told the team that he would return to the United States following the conclusion of the ESL Pro League playoffs, slated to run from September 29-October 4, but earlier on Tuesday the youngster was already at an airport to go back home.

"Over the player break, oBo expressed reservations about returning to Europe," the Complexity CEO shared in a press conference on his stream. "He ultimately decided to return [to the United States] approximately 24 hours ago, and he informed the team he'd be returning to the US at the conclusion of the EPL playoffs."

"Yesterday we were sorting out the best way forward from there. Very early this morning, London time, he informed the team that he was at the airport and that he was returning home."

oBo decided to return home hours before the start of their campaign in the DreamHack Open Fall closed qualifier

Lake went on to share that Complexity will attempt to find oBo a new team, based in North America. Meanwhile, they have already begun their search for a replacement for the American, which the organization hopes will be "the absolute best player available." However, the CEO admitted that buyouts are "a bit ridiculous," stressing that the organization will "not be extorted by teams trying to capitalize on this situation."

The decision has caused Complexity to substitute oBo with the team's coach, Jamie "⁠keita⁠" Hall, in the DreamHack Open Fall closed qualifier. There, the adjusted lineup has since lost their first match in the double-elimination bracket, to Portuguese side SAW, and is set to face SJ in the lower bracket.

It appears that Complexity might not be able to lock down a permanent replacement in time for the ESL Pro League Season 12 playoffs next week, with Lake saying that the team might have to use an emergency substitute in the league's bracket stage.

Complexity now have:

Benjamin "⁠blameF⁠" Bremer
William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba
Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke
Valentin "⁠poizon⁠" Vasilev

Jamie "⁠keita⁠" Hall (coach)

Owen "⁠oBo⁠" Schlatter (benched)

Dude don't take 15yo answers seriously. oBo did the right thing. It's sad that he had to leave but he is probably not living his life as he should in EU, just like s1mple did in NA remember. Jason just understands his point and won't ruin his career because of his choice, obviously he has to sell him to other orgs cause like he said other teams are overpricing their sails

It's definitely not a rat move, I agree with you but he handled the situation badly, he should have told the earlier or stick out the 2 extra weeks. I'm not amd at him as he's just 17 and in a carzy time like this being away from your family is heartbreaking butt it wasn't a nice act from him. I'm sorry for both parties.

First of all, the US restriction is 21, so it's already counter to the norm. Second of all, most places are 18 as the legal age, which he isn't. If you're part of a larger org representing the Dallas Cowboys it'd be pretty dumb to try to go out drinking underage.

It isn't a big deal if you aren't representing a company and their image. Legality of things is a much bigger deal when your employer has an image to uphold. It's what having a professional career is about.

He's a 17 year old kid in a foreign country, I'm sure he's just going to head out and meet tons of people and socialize at night! Also drinking is kind of the opposite of anti-social when you are going out, since the entire premise is about meeting other people. Drinking alone at home is anti-social.

2020-09-23 00:35

For me, the best way to meet people is sober. Have real meaningful talks and see if you can connect with the person. Drinking comes afterwards when you come to know them a lot better. Bear in mind, I grew up in the Balkans

I'm primarily referring to how the vast majority of people view a night out. If I was out to drink it was with friends, I have never gone out on my own and never plan to. Meeting people at a bar/club/whatever has never been my thing, even if it was for some of the people I turned down/ignored (which, by the way, can be hilarious).

How can he just tell the org he's going back to US just only when he's in the airport, lol. Yes, he's 17, but like... tell the team before? This is why I've been against signing 15-17 years old kids, especially the introverts.

I don't think that's what he did. I remember going away as a boy scout to a big camp. It was only a week, but among the 100 or so children, several got home sick and had to be picked up by parents. Some are just shy, introverts, lack confidence or whatever it is. I think it's a basic Maslow's hierarchy situation too - when your basic needs a fulfilled, you begin to feel the need to have your other needs fulfilled. He had a good pay, fans and was living the career dream. But he was in a position where it didn't matter anymore and another need to over. No pay raise would have made him happier, it's an emotional decision to go back to his home.

"why would he do that?" oBo is 17yo, he was still 16yo when he joined CoL and came to Europe, away from his family and friends in America. Came to Europe and gets in the middle of a pandemic, has to stay in Europe during this whole situation away from his family who are miles away from him. This kid was 16yo and was travelling to Europe to play CS, and then gets here and has to stay inside all day because of the Covid situation, Of course he prefers to be in America during all of this.... He can be with his family during this times instead of in a Hotel room or an apartment alone.. He can play in NA close to his family more regularly and because we all know that the covid situation is really bad in America, at any moment it can get worse and worse until the whole country has to shutdown again, and in these moments it's always better to be with family rather than in an hotel room all by yourself. he's only 17yo dude

Understandable. Think Gen.G is more likely then C9 considering C9's immediate plans. It'll be a while before they are in LA. Kid is super talented as an aside. I believe he was actually 16 when all this started just to put things in perspective.

as someone who hates his job because it fucks up my personal life at the worst times, and who has been struggling with that kind of thing also while working for billionaires in Mtl, I can assure you that no matter how much he's important or how much money is dumped into making him a good player, no job and no amount of money or CS:GO is worth more than family, sanity, etc. this is something we all need to take more seriously, and I was appalled at the volume of toxic stupidity in the comments. so that's that.

Yeah i agree with that all im saying is the other players play for their livelihood and not everyone is as financially secure as Americans. I think sometimes they forget Eastern Europe isn't as prosperous as the general American view of Europe. So when you say you are going to help them I think to a certain degree you a morally obliged to finish what you said you would. Obviously I don't really mind as its for family just could've done a bit better in my view, but at the end of the day I don't know the full situation / never been in his situation

NO JOB OR TEAMMATE IS WORTH BURNING OUT, LOSING YOUR FUCKING MIND AND KILLING YOURSELF. And that happens a hell of a lot more than you think, YOU need to take this shit more seriously.

I hope that one day someone rams that into your head to the point that you understand and can achieve something worthwhile in your life.

Yes. Can you burnout doing it? Yes. But when you have contractual obligations and a SUPER helpful org thats willing to work around that, you shouldnt fuck it up. He's 17.

They are kids and many live in poor countries or have poor backgrounds - the vast majority of users on HLTV aren't exactly children of academics.

I understand that. however as I said to another user, if you burn yourself out and go off the deep end (and it can happen to anyone, which is why people have to stop giving oBo these bad intentions or suspect "laziness" and "selfishness" because mental health doesn't heal 100% and people NEED to take this more seriously and stop posting bullshit on forums) then you will crash and burn even more than if you stop where you are. during my burnout a friend told me something that saved my life: "you're heading for a wall. if you stop now you might lose your job or your career but you will have an opportunity to find peace of mind that will last the rest of your life. if you don't stop you will crash and burn and it will be 10x worse than if you stop now". Again, I'm not God and I don't know what's going on in Complexity, but can HLTV zoomers at least admit that this is a possibility and stop "spewing bullshit"? ffs, youtube "Goddamn Kids These Days" by Every Time I Die. my point is simply that a glass can only spill what it contains. I hope every CS:GO player finds a way to charge their mental batteries and stay healthy, because that is priceless. peace oot.

The COL Ceo seems nearly to cry. If oBo would be older I would say he does that absolutely wrong thing but he is 16-17. Even S1mple wanted to leave NA asap in his first year there cuz he wanted back home. So people shouldn't say "not loyal" or "traitor" etc. In this age it hard and maybe he will never play again for ter1/2 but as long as he is okay with it who cars.

2020-09-22 19:33

Once he said that he was not sure if he wanted to come back to EU after the break, he should have sticked with it. Maybe try to arrange a break and then go back for dreamhack , which is more important than ESL tournaments due to RMR points to major. Now the team is beyond fucked. Well... F.

2020-09-22 20:09

Basically there is two major problems here: 1) They way he went about the move shows immaturity. Calling from the airport last minute leaving the team/owners with not enough time to find a replacement. Its very unproffessional, even though hes young. 2) I get it must be hard to live in another country away from friends family for a 16 yo, but he had his teammates - he was not alone. To me this says a lot about him - to win and be the best you need to be tough and willing to suffer sometimes when things doesnt work out. In the long run, skill is not enough - you also need mental toughness. Look at es3tag, he has been grinding on many teams that didnt work out time after time, then sat on the bench and most people said he would never play. Did he whine and quit... no he just kept grinding and now it pays off. I would not want oBo on my team, because hes a quitter - as of now at least. He can change that over time. But all serious team leaders/owners will think that he could be a problem. Ofc we havent heard his version, but since he didnt state it already, its probably because of homesickness

Yeah he even tweeted after the loss to faze that he will be preparing for playoffs now. He could have just asked for a break to go home for a while and then return or at least give them a chance to find someone else i feel like its kinda unfair towards the org and his teammates to leave outta nowhere as they gave him so much trust and support.

2020-09-22 21:43

Good luck to oBo. Been a huge fan of his. Can't imagine how hard it'd be though being stuck in a foreign country at 16 during a pandemic when you can't really even go out and do anything. Hope they can find him a great NA team. Maybe Liquid oBo?

wtf this is very sad

2020-09-22 20:48

Probably emotional issues, bad timing and poor business practice. He let down not only his teammates, and his entire org, but huge blow in his csgo fan base. He will regret indefinitely, but since he made the decision already, he's in the process to try to move on through the regret. RIP

nah, kjaerbye was just retarded m8. He had 0 reason to leave, this kid got some.

its basically the same. kjaerbye left his team and almost destroyed them oBo did the same. "Yesterday we were sorting out the best way forward from there. Very early this morning, London time, he informed the team that he was at the airport and that he was returning home." committing to a team is a lot and he should understand that. i understand if he wanted to leave but he told them he"ll play the EPL playoff and then left them just before it and now they cant even find a replacement. hes a kid but he should know better and if he wants to leave just dont leave like this

2020-09-22 21:12

1 reply

Yeah I agree, it was a dick move to leave like that. He should have been professional about it and he might end up regretting it later on. My reply was only about how kjaerbye left because he lost "motivation", wtv that means, after winning a major and getting the MVP award. His move made no sense at all and I doubt even him can justify it rn.

2020-09-22 21:17

He is 17, and this was probably his 1st experience outside of his confort zone. S1mple was in the same situation when he was in Liquid. He could've handled it better cuz it sucks for his teammates to be left in the dark until a few hours before he leaves, but all in all it comes with his age. This kid is good, he'll have time to mature and handle his next endeavour in a better way.

2020-09-22 23:35

It´s another kind of burn out than more mature players have experienced this year, but still a kind of burn out. He needs a break. Hope he gets it sorted out and stays with his team. Time for COL and other teams/players to be pragmatic - which quality players are not playing atm? Bubskij comes to mind, he could step in with ease and could benefit from some playing time through a loan deal.

2020-09-22 21:23

2020-09-22 21:44

What? Opponent team don't want to be easy going with a competitor by selling their players for cheap? Damn the coL CEO is discovering capitalism. Your fault mate if you did not see it coming. This being said, I'm quite said for coL line up which was very promising with, imo BlameF, poizon and oBo particularly. I which the best to the line up and oBo, which perhaps have missed an opportunity to become the best (or one of the top 3) player in the world. I hope he won't regret it in the years to come.

Probably depressed or with mental issues? You just don't leave like that. He should have told his org in advance.

2020-09-22 22:56

Huge missed opportunity, they were looking great. But to each their own.

2020-09-22 23:42

pretty sure contract in esports are different, he can refuse to play but complexity can still hold him hostage by not realesing him to another org for free.

Yeah but that's kind of a stain on his reputation. Who's gonna pick up a kid who leaves a team without prior notice and just like 'screw you guys i'm going home'.

Like who though? I think Rush does really well for a support player just from what I have watched. Also his teammates praised him for that.

2020-09-24 01:12

If Complexity want to go back to NA after the pandemic, then they’ll get another NA players, but the question is who? Floppy is staying with ex-C9, so perhaps autimatic? Xeppaa? leaf?

2020-09-23 02:26

Rat

2020-09-23 02:33

oBo will not go to cloud9 since cloud9 is turning into a eu team, which the reason why oBo benched himself from complexity is because of eu. I think Gen.G is an option, since they are in need of a player, since daps left.

2020-09-23 02:46

Very weak personality

Sometimes the best decisions in life can be last minute ones. At his age he's very young to be living in another continent and not being with his friends and family. Most 17 year olds wont have even had a part time job etc, just school and hanging out with friends.
