It was the official Los Angeles franchise for the Championship Gaming Series. It fielded teams in Project Gotham Racing 3, Counter-Strike 1.6, Call Of Duty, Defense of the Ancients, Quake 4, Day of Defeat, and Day of Defeat: Source. Complexity Gaming was first formed in 2003 by Jason "1" Lake, Paolo Bergantino, and Ariel Perez.

“In times like ours, where the growing complexity of life leaves us barely the time to read the newspapers, where the map of Europe has endured profound rearrangements and is perhaps on the brink of enduring yet others, where so many threatening and new problems appear everywhere, you will admit it may be demanded of a writer that he be more than a fine wit who makes us forget in idle and byzantine discussions on the merits of pure form ...”
