Will this the beginning of the downfall of an otherwise promising team?

2021-01-21 | @PleyTB

It has almost become a custom for Complexity, to attend huge and prestigious event featuring a stand-in player. Inside the last 4 months, the Juggernauts has fielded the likes of Niels Christian “NaToSaphiX” Sillassen, Otto “ottoNd” Sihvo and also their own coach Jamie "keita" Hall as temporary players, owing to the departure of Owen “oBo” Schlatter and Valentin “poizon” Vasilev being on a sick-leave. The latest addition being the Danish AWPer Jacob "JUGi" Hansen who will stand-in at the $ Million event of BLAST Premier Global Final.

The CS:GO expert Chad “SPUNJ” Burchill believes that Complexity has to make actions regarding this matter, to prevent a potential destruction of the roster itself. SPUNJ touches on the idea of Complexity replacing the otherwise promising poizon, if the young AWPer won’t be ready for IEM Katowice next month.

“This sounds heartless but if poizon isn't able to play Katowice I think complexity need to find a full-time replacement before having to play event after event with a stand-in. The destruction of morale in the camp having to prepare with someone different each event must suck.”

It just feels like wasted effort. You are in these tournaments, you want to compete at 100% and instead every time you are hamstrung. Considering the type of guy blame is and what Jason Lake set out to achieve, the situation as it stands would be eating the team from the inside.” - Says SPUNJ in two Tweets.
