Complexity is still missing Valentin “poizon” Vasilev after he underwent emergency surgery in December 2020 but is expected to rejoin his team-members in the early stages of 2021. The nature of the emergency surgery was kept private when Complexity Gaming CEO Jason Lake stated the following in a tweet from December 9, 2020:

It will be interesting to see how “JUGi” performs in the upcoming BLAST tournament as the event is pack-filled with top-tier teams, including his former team Astralis. “JUGi” haven’t played for a team since parting ways with Astralis. Furthermore, he has been trialed for Team Liquid’s Valaront roster, so whether or not his Counter-Strike abilities remain just as sharp as previously will be exciting to witness.
Complexity and “JUGi” face one of the biggest Counter-Strike giants, currently, in their opening match against Vitality. The match is set to begin at 13:30 (CET) on January 20th.
