Bullseye Joins Complexity

Posted by Dev at 18:05 4/6/2004.

Earlier this morning on TSN's "In The Crosshair" the announcement which was supposed to be "THE BIGGEST OF IT'S KIND IN THE HISTORY OF COMPETITIVE COUNTERSTRIKE AND WILL FORGE THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME" was announced.

After a week of speculation over $1,000,000 contracts and so forth it was announced that Bullseye, who recently stepped back from the main Team 3D line-up will join up with American clan Complexity on a contract which is speculated to make him the highest paid CS player in the world. Although no figures were given in the interview between TSN and Complexity manager Jason it was stated that their will be no more changes before CPL Summer but expect to see a few changes before CPL Winter.

Whether the addition of a player of Bullseyes callibre can make Complexity any better will remain to be seen.

If they dont say what the contract is how on earth are they going to impress people? They have no way of comparing it to SK players or whatever.

If its anywhere near that of SLayerS_BoxeR which I v.much doubt it is their just f***ing idiots. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

Jas0n, the leader of complexity, seemed to sound like he knew what he was doing. He pointed out he wasn't expecting to win the CPL within a year or whatever, and that the actual 1million contract was comming in 3-5 years. Bullseye's a good player etc, but surely if hes prepared to put that much money into players he should look at euro talent? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

c'mon the Element transfer was just a great example of media spin by SK.

Instead of element breaking his contract and proving to sponsors that the contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, and despite threatening legal action. They suddenly decided to 'sell' him...after he'd already left them...fascinating stuff. [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I doubt that if element's contract was worthless that NoA would have bought him out of it, it was probably just beneficial for SK to sell him rather than take legal action [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

So behind the times Kenny! :)

I think the SK players get around a normal salary at the moment and Bullseye will be getting $1000 more p/month than the highest paid CS player. Since none of these teams releases any figures, nobody actually knows how much this is exactly.

One thing though - it is no where near the size of SlayerS_BoxeR's contract, which is a ridiculous amount to play games for :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I was thinking that in the interview he said he had a legal right to see all current contracts of sk etc and thats how he was able to tell us that its $1000 dollars more than any other cs player.

So surely we also have the right to see contracts from other players? [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

The announcement itself is large, but to live up to the hype it needs to be furnished with figures, it needs to have comparisons made with other gamers, needed to show how it's highlighting a way forward, go into detail about future plans.

I've not listened to the cast, I've no idea HOW it was done, I'm guessing a lot of people here didn't either. But if it failed to live up to the hype then it is only the details and the delivery that are at fault, because the news itself is big [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
