Call of Duty: Ghosts (2014)

CompLexity Gaming and Crimsix continued their dominance into the Call of Duty: Ghosts season.

The team released Clayster and signed Karma after they won the 2013 MLG Fall Championship.  Crimsix and the new lineup with Karma won the 2014 UMG Philadelphia event.

Crimsix entered the 2014 Call of Duty Championship with the number two seed. In the Winner’s Bracket Final, they faced OpTic Gaming in a match that many predicted for the Grand Final. The compLexity team managed to pull through 3-2 but made it difficult for themselves after they recovered from a second half, 18 point deficit in Game 4 to take it to a deciding Game 5, which they won 6-0 including an 11-0 game from Crimsix. They advanced to the Grand Final to face Team Envy. Complexity defeated Team Envy 3 games to 0 and won the first place prize of $400,000 and a Championship ring.

Two weeks later, the team traveled to PAX East in Boston to take part in the MLG CoD League Season 1 Playoffs. They got revenge on Strictly Business, beating them in Grand Final to become Season 1 champions.

At the beginning of May, Crimsix and the team participated in UGC Niagara 2014. The event was far from smooth for the team as they were knocked into the Loser’s Bracket early by an amateur team. Then they were nearly knocked out of the event as they went to a Game 5 Round 11, but Crimsix and the team managed to clutch the game. They went on a massive run through the Loser’s Bracket all the way to the final, where they faced Team Envy. Coming from the Lower Bracket, Crimsix and compLexity needed to win two best of 5 series. They managed to win the event by beating Envy 6 to 0 in map count winning both best of 5 series.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (2015)

Moving into Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare it was clear that the most dominant team, Evil Geniuses, were going to be splitting up.

After winning ESWC 2014, the roster were eventually released from their contracts and rumors began circulating that Crimsix would join OpTic Gaming.

OpTic released ProoFy and Clayster and replaced them with Crimsix and FormaL.

They started the new game well and were ranked 1st going into the MLG Columbus Open 2014 and finished with a 2nd place finish at the event.

Going into 2015, OpTic were looking to improve on their 2nd place finish at MLG Columbus.

The first event of the new year was UMG Orlando 2015. The team had a poor showing on the opening day, failing to win a single map. They managed to get things under control and dominated Saturday and Sunday of the event to take home 1st place.

After MLG Columbus, the team participated in Season 1 of the MLG Pro League. They finished the season in 1st place with a record of 38-6. The team had two individual streaks of 12 wins and 17 wins.

The LAN playoffs took place in Columbus, OH from February 20-22. With the #1 overall seed, the team played #8 seed Rise Nation on the opening day. The team did not have a repeat of the previous two events, as they defeated 3-0. They moved on to face Aware.NA on Saturday in Winner’s Round 2.
