Complexity take off for European bootcamp ahead of busy schedule

With Evil Geniuses set to kick off tomorrow in ESL Pro League Season 18, Complexity will be joining them in Europe as they bootcamp ahead of their own ESL Pro League group stage starting in two weeks, Dust2.us has learned. Some of the players are riding in style, with an Instagram story from Ricky "floppy" Kemery showing himself flying in Business Class. Considering the amount of travel the squad have ahead of them, it's a well-justified luxury.

Complexity will be residing in their home away from home at the Kinguin Performance Center in Warsaw, Poland. The center has had a good relationship with the American organization, having hosted them several times previously.

The Cowboys are coming off a solid American venture as they qualified for the Thunderpick World Championships taking place towards the end of October. In the meantime, Complexity will have to participate in ESL Pro League Season 18, fly back to the United States so they can play in the BLAST Premier Rest of the World Showdown, fly to Australia for IEM Sydney and then fly back to Europe for Thunderpick, and that's all before Thanksgiving.

Considering all of that travel, it's also a benefit that Håkon "hallzerk" Fjærli was able to secure a United States visa. Previously, hallzerk's visa issues prevented the AWPer from traveling with the squad to IEM Dallas and the BLAST Premier Spring Finals in Washington, D.C.

A second half of the competitive season is already heating up, but with Counter-Strike 2 coming out at any second, it's unknown how teams will appropriately adjust to the new mechanics and gameplay. Many are already voicing their opinions on the feel of the game and pointing out how different it is compared to CS:GO.

Complexity are due to play against 9INE at ESL Pro League Season 18 on September 20th.
