Crimsix

Ian Porter, better known as Crimsix, is an American former professional Call of Duty player and current esports driver.

As an esports competitor he has represented multiple organizations in multiple game titles, most notably representing Optic Gaming and Complexity in Call of Duty.

Starting in 2008 Ian "Crimsix" Porter began gaming competitively when he noticed that there was a large number of skilled players competing at MLG events across the country.

With the release of Halo:Reach he began playing on the MLG Pro circuit and placed 4th at MLG Columbus.

Across the rest of the season, Porter continued to place well at other events.

However, in 2012 Halo:Reach was removed from the MLG Pro Circuit and replaced by Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Porter made the switch from Halo to Call of Duty joining the compLexity Gaming organization and roster of ACHES, TeePee and FEARS in December 2012.

Midway through the season and after some poor results, compLexity would add Clayster to the roster and become what is known as one of the most dominant Call of Duty teams ever assembled.

They would find immediate success and win the very next event and would continue by completely dominating the second half of the Black Ops 2 season winning almost every event, both nationally and internationally.

Going in to Ghosts the domination would continue with the team winning the MLG Columbus 2013 however the team decided to drop Clayster citing internal conflicts.

The team would replace him with world champion Karma they would instantly click and win the next event.

This new look EG squad would look to start their career ahead with Dedo with a win, but that was not to be at UMG Nashville with the team finishing a disappointing 13th-16th.

The team failed to qualify for the MLG CoD League Season 3 Playoffs of the MLG CoD League.

Porter and his teammates would win the Call of Duty Championship 2014 in emphatic fashion only dropping 4 maps in the entire tournament.

After becoming world champions they would continue to dominate by winning MLG CoD League Season 1 Playoffs and UGC Niagara 2014.

After the event on May 6, 2014, compLexity would announce that the roster had been purchased by Evil Geniuses.

After the team's transition to the new organization, they had continued success by maintaining first place in the league and were the first team to clinch a spot in the Championship bracket at MLG Anaheim.

With the first LAN event at the MLG X Games Invitational.

The team had the number 1 seed going into the event due to their win at the 2014 Call of Duty Championship.

They secured the 2nd seed in their group setting up a match-up against OpTic Gaming in the Semifinals.

They lost the match 3-1 and were knocked down to the Bronze Medal Game.

They would beat EnVyUs taking the bronze medal at the first ever MLG event at X Games.

This was the first event the team had lost on Ghosts.The team would come back after this disappointment to the next event MLG Anaheim, getting their revenge over Optic in the final and winning the event.

A month later the team would attend Gfinity 3, the event was not a good one, with them placing 5th-8th and out of the money.

This would be the first time Porter had finished outside the top 4 in his Call of Duty career.

Evil Geniuses did not attend UMG Dallas in August 2014.

2 days after the Dallas event, Karma would announce that he wanted to leave the team; a day later he was benched.

With Karma leaving to go to FaZe Clan and Dedo coming to Evil Geniuses, the team now consisted of ACHES, TeePee, Crimsix, and Dedo.

As the defending champions, the team traveled to France to compete at ESWC 2014.

With rumors about the squad parting ways, they were not expected to place well.

However, they went out with a bang as they beat TCM Gaming 3–1 in the Grand Final.

After the victory at ESWC 2014, it was very clear that the roster would not be sticking together heading into the Advanced Warfare season.

On November 14, 2014, it was revealed that all 5 players' contracts were bought out by OpTic Gaming.

Enabling the roster to join any team organization they pleased.

In the end, ACHES would go to FaZe Clan and Dedo would head to Team FeaR.

Porter, Teepee, and Karma were all picked up by the OpTic Gaming organization, with TeePee and Karma going to OpTic Nation, whereas Crimsix went to OpTic Gaming.

With a roster consisting of Nadeshot, Scump, Formal, and Crimsix, the team won three out of the first five events of the year, but would perform poorly at Call of Duty Championship 2015 finishing 7th.

This poor placement pushed Nadeshot into retirement and allowed the team to add Porter's former teammate Karma from Optic Nation.

Karma would finally make his debut at UMG California 2015, which the team would win.

This roster would go on to win three of the final six events of the year, whilst also placing second three times.
