CompLexity enters fighting scene, Gootecks & Mike Ross signed

so excellent adventures may be auditions now?

should up the ante

finally, hard working men are rewarded, and 100% of what gootecks and mike ross gain from this is going to be put into the community; great day for anyone who loves fighting games

This is pretty big, congrats to Gootecks and Mike Ross! :)

Great news. More interest and more money into the fighting game community is always a good thing. Mike Ross and Gootecks are like the Day9 and Husky of fighting games, and their work should be rewarded.

Congrats to the two! Hopefully this won't affect their shows too much heh heh.

people always hate on gootecks but the dude is getting the scene noticed. big ups, can't wait to see who's picked up

I have no idea how the first poster came to that conclusion.

very nice congrats to them
it's nice to see the scene gettin more attention and growing

I'm not familiar with them, but this sounds like a big deal for Mike Ross and Gootecks.

Never heard of CompLexity or any of the other people they sponsor.

Lol'd at Mike "MikeRoss" Ross.

Congrats in order to the fellas.

I expect to see Combofiend as one of their first signings.

I always did see Gootecks as the boxing promotor kind of guy. Well deserved guys!

wow this is huge

@10 then you're in the minority among gamers. They had the most famous American Counter-Strike team at the height of CS's popularity.

This is great news for the fighting game community. More sponsors jumping on board will blow up the scene, bringing in a lot of new people.

Mike Boss, Combofiend, and "There You Gooo" Gootecks!
Awesome stuff. I'm liking the attention they're getting.

Combofiend or Viscant would be an awesome addition.

Are they getting paid for those positions or is it just volunteer type work?

Either way, happy for them. Hard working men.

Real happy with what CompLexity has been doing picking up console players. They picked up MLG Halo professional team Triggers Down a couple weeks ago. Then they go and buy ROOT gaming and grab some great SC2 players. Now they go and enter the FGC with Gootecks and Mike Ross? Good stuff coL

Wow that's big news! mad props to Mike and Gootecks!

@1 How can I audition for this? I wanna be part of the team, I think I have what it takes. 7000PPS 7000BPs!

Nice Gootecks and Mike Ross already do great/entertaining things this will help facilitate doing more of those great things.

I don't know about you guys but the first moment I saw Gootecks commentating, I knew that he had talent in that agenda. Actually, I think he interviewed Daigo at Evo a few years ago; at that time I didn't even know who Daigo was lol. I actually thought Gootecks worked for gamespot or SRK or something. It was only later that I saw his show on utube. Mike Ross does a really nice job as well and they both work very well together. Anything that helps the fighting community is always a good thing.

WAT HAPPENED POKCHOP???

yay pc

Mike "MikeRoss" Ross, Combofiend, ClakeyD, Clockwerk

^PC AE is gonna be big/lots of players :-D

they're gonna get raped by eg just like in the sc2 scene

@24 lolz

Congrats to Gootecks and Mike Ross for this amazing opportunity. A dreamjob to many of us. I am very happy for them.

I bet Complexity are so annoyed they didn't sign this guy: http://a.yfrog.com/img738/7615/9zsu.jpg

Nothing weird about that guy at all.

why u mad though? what does his dress style, what he does in bed have to do with anything? he's still the best ssf4ae player in america. Stay classy.

No one will even compete in AE for PC. Real fact.

@ElectricBlanka
Online points don't mean anything in the long run.

Complexity is my favorite TF2 team, so big props to them for picking up Mike Ross and Gootecks (who were literally a gold mine imo; why did it take so long for someone to pick them up?).

Still, I work for one of EG's sponsors so I'm kinda salty that we didn't get them ourselves.

I hope they sign KiddingMouse41. The guy is a legend and he could be the one who can stop Daigo at EVO 2011.

TC| mike ross, gootecks, viscant, clockwork, combofiend, ClakeyD

@35 It didn't take long. Mike Ross has already talked about sponsors approaching him before. He was just waiting for the right one to come around. Which is pretty professional of him, considering a lot of players may have jumped at the chance for anyone to sponsor them.

Anyway congratulations to those two, god knows they deserve it.

Combofiend and Viscant are the first 2 team members, easy.

#33 - real fact, as opposed to a fake fact?

Even realer facter fact:

The PC gaming scene is well known, large, and lots of PC players will be enjoying AE online.

but I digress...Congrats to Gootecks and Mike, Creative is a nice sponser and they make good cards.

Congrats Ross & Gootecks, hope all goes well.

p.s. keep the shows going please :)

Mike Ross & Gooteks are very entertaining. Only thing keeping Mike Ross from being a top player in Mvc3 is the characters he picks. If he would replace Thor with Wesker or wolverine. He would be top 5

LOL @42 yes it seems ROSS is hell beant on that big man squad he has. Plus i think he just wants to be the best Thor user since barely anyone takes Thor seriously. Hell I've used him on my team more or less as a tank and things didnt turn out so bad but i only know extremely basic combos with him heh.

Anyway congrats to the two of them I only recently heard about them but I really enjoy their show. I think of them more like 'The Neptunes' of fighting games lol. Fairly light skin black guy and really asian guy, both talented at their craft lol.

Interesting. I will talk to Mike Ross and gootecks next time I see them at WNF.
