Lore & Background

Complexity entered the Rocket League scene on March 1, 2019, by adding the team of Metsanauris, Mognus, and al0t, who had previously competed under the Method banner. This move expanded the franchise's competitive portfolio, which already included titles like Apex Legends, FIFA, Fortnite, Hearthstone, Madden, Magic: The Gathering Arena, and Rocket League. The team joined an organization with a long history dating back to 2003, when founder Jason Lake paid two gamers from his own pocket to form a team. Complexity's Rocket League squad became part of a franchise that had weathered the folding of the Championship Gaming Series in 2008, a sale to DirecTV in 2006 (the exact price was not publicly confirmed), and a subsequent purchase by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and real estate investor John Goff in 2017, which relocated the team to Frisco, Texas.

Professional organizations like Complexity Gaming operate within the structured framework of the RLCS and franchising leagues. They recruit top-tier talent, manage coaching staff, and compete in regional and international events for championship points. In-game, these teams are represented by their official colors and decals during broadcasts, though players may customize individual cars outside of competitive restrictions. Their role is to elevate the skill ceiling of the game through practice, strategy, and public exhibitions that showcase the sport's potential.
