Hot on the heels of Ninjas in Pijamas, Complexity Gaming has formally announced its roster for VALORANT. Their first official tournament will take place at the Valorant Ignition Series taking place at the PAX Arena Valorant Invitational from July 22-26.

The team itself has mixed former competitive players from other games, which is a common theme among teams at the moment. The five members are as follows:

  • Riley "ohai" Nguyen
  • Corbin "C0M" Lee
  • Cody "Frisco" Day
  • David "Xp3" Garrido
  • Michael "agM" Abood

Riley "ohai" Nguyen appears to be new to the competitive gaming scene and has been playing VALORANT for Complexity Gaming since April at several events with some strong performances to show.

Corbin "C0M" Lee has a few more years of experience under his belt from 2017 to the present, with most of that time spend competing in CS:GO and primarily specializing in the use of the AK47 and M4A1 weapons.

Cody "Frisco" Day has been in the competitive scene for even longer, with games dating back to 2013. He previously played for Team Liquid and competed in Overwatch in 2016. He has been playing at several tournaments since April for VALORANT.

David "Xp3" Garrido is an interesting addition to the roster as well, having competed in games since 2005, mainly for CS:GO as a AWPer and in the role of coach, but also in Overwatch. He played actively until 2019 and coached until recently.

Michael "agM" Abood is the player that stands out most in the new roster, though not for any positive reason. The former CS:GO player was VAC Banned in 2015, and while agM tried to pass off the ban as a mistake due to using a program to play a different game, Valve went out of their way to confirm that the conviction was applied correctly and that the account would remain banned.

As VALORANT picks up steam following its recent launch, we are seeing more professional esports organizations sign rosters to compete in upcoming tournaments. Other recent announcements have come from FaZe Clan, 100 Thieves, and Team Envy.

The game is still too new to know exactly who will dominate the top of the competitive scene.

Interestingly, most teams right now appear to be recruiting players who have experience in competitive CS:GO, whereas initially there was talk of Overwatch being the prime recruiting ground for VALORANT. While some top players have left Blizzard’s game for that of Riot Games, those are few in comparison.
