Complexity Gaming was founded in late 2003 by lawyer and Counter-Strike fan Jason "1" Lake. Throughout the early stages of the team there was no sponsors support, resulting in Jason himself being responsible for all the payments that were due, much different from other well established E-sport teams that ran through sponsorship money and merchandise.

Jason immediately reacted to the development making Bullseye an offer in early June he couldn't refuse, making him the highest paid Counter-Strike player in the history of the game.
Bullseye's presence on the roster was used by Jason to advertise his team and bring in several other high profile players. The team Jason was able to build late 2004 consisted of talented players such as Danny "fRoD" Montaner, Corey "tr1p" Dodd, Matt "Warden" Dickens and Tyler "Storm" Wood, all to become long time players for the organisation in the upcoming years.
