Last week in Counter-Strike, Complexity Gaming won the American Minor and bagged themselves $30,000 along with the opportunity to have in-game stickers. In turn, they also qualified for the main Major qualifier in September; a feat which hasn’t been achieved since 2014. This achievement is significant to the UK scene as not only was the American Minor hosted in London; but also, dephh, one of Complexity’s players, is from the UK.
Details about dephh’s success and Complexity’s rather impressive performance at the Minor, can be found in the article I wrote for esports-news.co.uk.
I'm Jamie Wootton, an esports enthusiast in the UK.
In 2019, I’m planning to apply to join the University of Staffordshire’s BA (Hons) Esports course which focuses on the business side of the industry.
Previously I only followed CS:GO, the game which got me into esports and competitive gaming, however recently I have been making an effort to branch out by watching other esports including FIFA and Rocket League. I’ve attended tournaments in the domestic scene and have been watching those streamed on the global stage.
I’m aware I have more to learn about the industry, and so I’ve decided to make a start by talking to key figures about the scene. I’ve created this blog to publish esports related content including interviews that I’ve recorded along the way.
I hope you'll join me on my journey as I try to learn more about the wider esports space. If you have something to add to what I've published on my blog, or wish to get in contact with me, please complete the contact form.
