February 2018 OTM Nominations

Director
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Gambit 7
Link to forums account - @KSI Gambit 7
Reasoning why they deserve this - Gambit is not one to turn down a challenge. He was placed as DL's Director, and in just a few weeks, he has worked with their motivated 7's staff to turn the division around. He understands the balance between fun and work, and he imparts his knowledge without seemingly much effort. His confidence in himself, his knowledge, and his ability is infectious and rubs off on the leaders and members he interacts with. A few conversations with Gambit will have you feeling more involved, aware, and confident. I have no doubt this small sample size is no fluke, and we will be seeing DL on the rise in the coming months. Division Leader
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Hebrew 7 (LS)
Link to forums account - @KSI HEBREW 7
Reasoning why they deserve this - Mr. Hebrew has had an... interesting... last few months. He inherited a division in turmoil and helped stop the bleeding with his calming influence and steady-handed approach. His members obviously respect the hell out of him, and how could you not? LS' has been struggling with outside influence, but Hebrew doesn't get down when he loses members or friends. He keeps his head up and nose down and continues moving to make his members have the best KSI experience they can. Founder
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Gary 7 (DW)
Link to forums account - @KSI Gary 7
Reasoning why they deserve this - Gary has worked hand-in-hand with both Ronin and Havoc to turn DW around. The past month has been wildly encouraging. Under Gary's leadership, DW's participation has gone from struggling to thriving. The division leads in participation in KSI events since the New Year. Is that a fluke? Take a look at the members he's training up and working with, and I doubt it. The division has also grown to nearly 160 after dropping to near 130. Between the growth, gaming, and his overall stature in the division, Gary is worthy of this award. Co-Founder
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI BuMPer 7 (ES)
Link to forums account - @KSI BuMPer 7
Reasoning why they deserve this - I don't know what to really say about BMP. He's everywhere. I mean, literally everywhere. Picking up rejoin apps, being in Departments, running his Co-Fo duties constantly, testing new bots, helping other divisions, being there for all of KSI when they need it. It's remarkable the dedication he has. I know he cares passionately about everything he does, and while he can be a little extra sometimes, he has a wonderful heart and the work ethic and determination to back it up. Captain
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI JessiRedJet (Talon EO)
Link to forums account - @KSI JessiRedJet
Reasoning why they deserve this - Jessica has had her ups and downs in the community, but 2018 so far has been a wild success for her. She recently made General in Talon EO for her work as a Captain in the division. She peer-leads the Marketing team and makes sure EO as a whole participates in KSI events. She doesn't just keep to her squad, she goes every where and exudes that community mentality. If we had more Captains and Generals like Jessi, this community would be better for it. Forum Staff (ADMIN/MODS/DEPARTMENT HEADS)
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI RiiOT 7
Link to forums account - @KSI RiiOT 7
Reasoning why they deserve this - RiiOT does a lot of moderation thingys and he is a good AAP Co-Head and he's always in the Shoutbox. He keeps visibility on the forums and is always there to help people who are having issues.
Member
Gamertag (Rank - Division/Squad) - KSI Kamikaze708 (Samurai DW)
Link to forums account - @KSI Kamikaze708
Reasoning why they deserve this - Kamikaze is a lot like Jessi. He's everywhere. He's an active member of the Marketing team and has played a huge role in the participation spike DW has seen. He's extremely active in the Discord and he goes out of his way to make sure every member in DW knows he is there if they need him and he will do what he can so he can help. His involvement has helped numerous aspects of KSI, and it's great to see him back.
