CompLexity Gaming has made quite the name in the professional scene of Dota 2. Plus, with the team just recently recruiting two new brothers, after being picked up by NFL Giants, The Dallas Cowboys, the sky was the limit for the North American team. However, an internal conflict within the organization has led to the removal of one of the team’s iconic members and captain, Kyle “swindlemelonzz” Freedman.

According to the official announcement from CompLexity Gaming’s General Manager, Kyle “Beef” Bautista, this action was a result of an internal dispute within the team. It seems there were personality conflicts between the players which become too severe to handle. As a result, a unanimous decision was taken to kick Kyle Freedman out of the team.

“Earlier today I informed Kyle Freedman that he was being removed from his position in our Dota 2 team and released from the organization. This action is a result of our Dota 2 team’s unanimous opinion that the personality conflicts within the team were too severe to continue. Based on that information, myself and other Complexity management made the decision to move in a different direction.” – Offical Statement

Though we do not exactly know what was going on within compLexity Gaming, it seems the dispute has been going for quite some time which finally hit a breaking point. Even then, this is pretty heartbreaking, as Kyle Freedman has been one of the most popular Dota 2 players. And since he is one of the very few who moved over from Heroes of Newerth (HoN), the community especially adores him.

In reply to his removal, Kyle came out with a Tweet stating that this is not the end for him and he still wishes to get his hands on the coveted Aegis trophy. To learn more about Kyle and his statement, check out the tweet below:

It’s been a hell of a ride with coL. 1296 days to be exact. On day 1, I said I wanted to win two TI’s. Zak, Beef, I wish we could have brought at least one home together. I love you guys. Tomorrow is a new day 1 and my goal is still the same. You’re only a failure if you quit. — Kyle Freedman (@melonzzdota) March 17, 2018

Hopefully, the ex-coL captain will find himself another team to make his presence in the Dota 2 pro scene. His absence will surely be missed. However, till the player, himself, comes out with a statement regarding his future, nothing can be said for sure. So, till that happens, stay tuned and comment below and let us know what you think of all the developments. Do you think the removal was justified?
