Director: Gamertag: KSI Rogue 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Rogue 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Rogue has always been extremely active within KSI.

Division Leader: Gamertag: KSI Slick 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Slick 7 Reasons they deserve this award: KSI Slick 7 has always been an amazing source of knowledge for everyone in KSI.

He is an amazing leader and brings a new way of thinking to SL. Co-Founder: Gamertag: kSI N3WERA 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI N3WERA 7 Reasons they deserve this award: New has been an amazing leader as well. He is the kind of person to get in and go recruiting with officers and lead by example. I really appreciate all he has taught me. He has always pushed me to be a stronger person and leader for the squad. He has helped multiple people during their time in KSI and deserves this award for being such a great Co-Founder in SL. General: Gamertag:KSI WuTang 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Wu Tang 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Allen has been a mentor for me ever since I came into KSI. He took me under his wing and showed me what it was like to be a good leader. He pushed me to do better, to get past my insecurities and do what needed to be done to have a successful squad. He is the kind of person who will be there for someone when they need him but also knows how to lay down the law when the time comes. He made sure I was ready to be a General following his lead. Captain: Gamertag: KSI Drastic#1557 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Drastic#1557 Reasons they deserve this award: Drastic has been absolutely amazing at recruiting, member retention and his officer duties. He trains sgts to recruit, hosts gamenights and workshops almost daily and is always willing to help if anyone needs it. He has won recruiting competitions and had worked so hard to make Templar a good place for its members. He has learned most of the gens duties and has stepped in any time I needed help. I see amazing things in his future KSI career. Lieutenant: Gamertag:KSI Athena Forums Account Link / @: @KSI xATHENAx Reasons they deserve this award: watching Athena was amazing, she hosted gamenight after gamenight, got recruit after recruit. It seemed as if she popped up out of thin air already sprinting towards the top. This is when I think she made the biggest impact and why she has so many people who are willing to follow her lead. She is very personable and party hops regularly to keep up with everyone. She has done so much for KSI and deserves recognition for her accomplishments. SSGT: Gamertag: KSI Aaronson Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Aaronson Reasons they deserve this award: Aaronson is an amazing officer, as a SSGT he plowed through his duties and has had amazing determination to do well for Templar.

Category: Division Leader Gamertag: KSI Rogue 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Rogue 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Dude! Where to start? He's gone above and beyond to better ever single possible member in SL. Extremely knowledgeable, huge work ethic, driven for success, and just an all around awesome guy. Helped me find my "why" in KSI. Always available to lend a helping hand and fill your brain with great ideas. SL wouldn't be where it is today without him. Category: CoFounder Gamertag: KSI Slick 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Slick 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Soft spoken, full of knowledge kind of guy. Never gets an aggressive tone with anyone. Along a few others, he's one of the main reasons I am where I am today. Saw potential in me, even when i was borderline on the fence of wanting to even move up in the ranks of KSI. Never rubbed me the wrong way, always pushed me in the right direction. True brother from another mother. I may have to carry his bum in Verdansk every game and revive him constantly from "being sniped" ( he doesnt know how to pull his chute) but I'd go toe to toe with Godzilla for this guy. Category: General Gamertag: KSI N3WERA Forums Account Link / @: @KSI N3WERA 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Where to begin with this guy? Dude made me ride sidecar on his motorcycle as we both climbed up the officer ranks in Templar. He demanded excellence within the squad and didn't ever quit or slack off. Constant communication with his officers, their duties and so much more. Category: Captain Gamertag: KSI xAthenax Forums Account Link / @: @KSI xATHENAx Reasons they deserve this award: Talk about someone hitting the ground running, look no further. Consistency and drive for excellence. Very attentive to her duties and her squad. Always available to her members, and has helped build Prestige into a powerhouse of a squad. Expect huge things from her moving forward. Category: Lieutenant Gamertag: KSI Huntartt Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Huntartt Reasons they deserve this award: Where to begin with her? Within her first week in KSI, not only myself, but the fellow officer core and the rest of the division knew she had that "it" factor. Her drive and passion for helping others is mind blowing. She is worthy of any of the rank rewards up to Gen, but her true coming out party was as an LT. She never stopped, her grind was 100% everyday, day in, day out. I personally took her under my wing because I knew she had it in her. She never complained, never got lazy. Theres a reason she's a General now. Looking forward to her continued progression. Category: SSGT Gamertag: KSI Drastic #1557 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Drastic#1557 Reasons they deserve this award: Dedicated. He's had some personal things come and go, but he's a grinder. You ask the man to go hit the recruiting trail, he'll get you 5. I've personally watched him be involved not only with his squad, but the division as a whole. He's excelled in his roles over the last few months and is only continuing to get more knowledgeable and stronger in his role.

Category: Division Leader Gamertag: KSI Rogue 7 Link to Forums Account: @KSI Rogue 7 Reasoning: you know there’s a lot I could say about this amazing leaders accomplishments and where to begin is hard. He has given KSI its standardized recruiting process and promotion process that is used all through KSI. He also bridged the divide between the divisions by creating and implementing the KSI Community server where we have now all been connected to each other like never before! He then on SL made communication through all ranks better by starting state of the division once a month laying out everything for people to see and talk or give ideas. Not to mention he created his own workshop to help more members in KSI. He is extremely active in AAP and a booming voice so I’ve been told in the LC. For all these reason KSI Rogue 7 deserves to be division leader of the year Co-Founder KSI DC 7 @KSI DC 7 DC was always there for the members. He helped me me when I was a captain and I had issues with the general of Imperial at the time. After the general position opened up he trained me to become general. He was always there to guide me and answer any questions that I had. He also helped other squads other other Imperial too. He helped Prestige get back on track with recruiting and training. He helped Vanguard (before it had to be shut down due to a lack of officers) after the general was on LOA then was eventually demoted. He also helped guide Elysium when they first entered SL and helped them grow from 30 something members to 70+ while training their officer staff of the SL ways. He then made the tough decision to leave his comfort zone as he transferred to WD when they lost all their 7s staff. DC has done a lot for this community. He has also won awards like the 7s spotlight and CoFo of the year this year.

Senior leader Kakashii 77 @Kakashii 77 Throughout this whole year this man has literally done so much for the community he previously stepped down from co founder then went up the chain of command again to become a gen of prestige and later co founder to soon become and develop the leadership council as we know it today he is constantly improving this community in anyway he can never seen anyone put as much blood and sweat into KSI as this man does he truest loves this community and is always looking for ways to improve it with any way he can . Div lead KSI Rogue @KSI Rogue 7 He is also one of the best leaders I met always active with all the members of SL and KSI as a whole no matter if ur band new or not he is chill and will always be there for the members and always looking for ways to improve KSI like helping create the KSI server on discord like creating a workshop ... he even created a rank for me to help train people even though I have a 14 hour time zone difference Co founder KSI Dc 7 @KSI DC 7 Ok where do I start with dc that man is a recruiting god and also knows how to lead he has built SL so many ways mainly by recruiting a lot of members for both knights and imperial/Templar he doesn’t only recruit he’s also there for his members by constantly checking up on the members making sure they are good both professionally /and personally ok in there life he also is a natural born leader from the moment he has joined KSI he has taken the initiative to learn more and do more as much as he can. Even transferred divisions to help out another division this man is by far great Gen KSI Newera @KSI N3WERA 7 what to say about Newera from the time I met him he has always looked for improving the officers and KSI as a whole he always held his officers to a higher standard and that’s something I’ve always appreciated as a gen this man has stepped up the game for other gens and overall has inspired me when I become a gen LT Athena @KSI xATHENAx Athena as soon as she joined she has been the power house of prestige I recruited her and taught we her how to recruit and ever since she has recruited a lot done game nights all the time does workshops often and even is basically running the squad she has skyrocketed in the little time she has been in. She also doesn’t recruit anyone for her she wants the best people that are going help the community with there personality Ssgt KSI KHOSEC @COD3SILVER KHOSEC is an example of Athenas recruits he has also built prestige to were it is today the both of them are a tag team of officers and throughout whole year he is best I’ve seen and I’ve seen a lot and he has only been here a short time also from him constantly trying to train people to him always being there for people. I accidentally wasn’t logged in on my account sorry about inconvenience

Category: Div Lead Gamertag: KSI Rogue 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Rogue 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Rogue has always and will always be the life line of SL. This man has developed and train more members than anyone. He does it just because he loves educating. He has mentored members including myself, Slick 7, Kakashii 77, WuTang 7..get the trend. Nah all jokes aside this man is an outstanding mentor, trainer, leader, and friend. He is always thinking long term and taking SL to new heights. Always striving for excellence and never settling. He pushes forward through any hardships that KSI throws his way while adapting and becoming the voice of SL. That's just the leader side of it. As an individual that man is a blast to be around. Always joking and having fun whether it be Modern Warfare, Rocket League or even Golf. He enjoys meeting anyone and always emphasizes having fun. This man is more than deserving of being Div Lead of the Year. Category: Co-Fo Gamertag: KSI Slick 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Slick 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Slick has been my boy since day 1. He took me under his wing immediately after I joined KSI. We instantly clicked. Similar life situations and a lot of the same things in common. Even both drive the same color chevy silverado 1500s. But why does he deserve Co-Fo of the Year, $h!t why doesn't he? This man has mentored myself and continues to mentor me. He has trained and guided so many other members that are now officers. He has an inviting demeanor around him that you just want to be around. He will game and talk to anyone. Always has time to give you the most far out in left field analogy but somehow you understand exactly what he's talking about. On top of all that he's resurrected Knights SL TWICE!! as a cofo. Never backs down from any challenge, always persevering and move onward and upward. This is reason he is now the Div Lead of SL. Always challenging others to be the best versions of themselves. Category: Lieutenant Gamertag: KSI xAthenax Forums Account Link / @: @KSI xATHENAx Reasons they deserve this award: Athena is by far the best officer SL has seen ALL YEAR. She was hesitant at first to become an officer but once she did, she took the bull by its horns. She is always on point, takes all her own notes on the workshops, and knows how pass on the information to her fellow officers. She knows how to take constructive criticism and makes it fuel her to improve. Always willing to learn more from anyone. Since she got here she has recruited so many people, but didn't stop there. She immediately starting training those recruits on how to be officer. She brought in 2 more officers since she became an officer. She is now a Captain in Prestige and she is not stopping anytime soon. She is a GENUINELY good natured person. Always a joy to be around. Any party she jumps into, she brings her high energy and has a blast.

Senior Leader (Board Of Directors, Senior Directors): Gamer Tag: KSI TexAngel 7 Forums Account: @KSI TexAngel 77 Reason: Tex is someone who has always mentored me. She is always trying to get you to come up with your own ideas like a good mentor does. She has been a amazing guiding hand to ES and DL. Always willing to put in the extra hours to be every rank clear to a Gen. She is the embodiment of dedication in my eyes as she is always willing to give anything a try as long as its towards a good direction. She is a calm (when you don't make her mad lol) soul and is all about laying a solid groundwork so when the time comes she can step away and not have to look back, always looking for the next place that KSI can become stronger in. She is always a valiant leader in the progressive manner KSI needs to be in this time of change of not just the community but the way gaming is done. Co-Founder: Gamer Tag: KSI Barb 7 Forums Account: @KSI Barb 7 Reason: Barb is one of the most impactful 7's I have had under me and next to me in ES. She is always there to double checking and making sure everything is going smoothly. She was always someone I checked with when I needed additional Guidance when I was a Co-Fo. She is a strong leader within all of KSI and especially ES. I see her becoming a very strong leader not just in ES but all of KSI. She is always able to help and assist with anything in KSI. I feel she can keep ES on track and once stable to break away and fly making ES not just a good div but an amazing division. General: Gamer Tag: KSI Squeek Forums Account: @Squeek 7 Reason: Squeek is a different kind of leader. Some like to let there officer run the show while they help guide them. Others are there more than all officers combined and have the largest personal impact on there squad. She is a rare breed of both. Always determined and always there for her squad, no, Division. As a General she uses all her experience from all her time in KSI to help the community. Without her Banshee wouldnt be the way it is now and ES wouldnt be the way it is now without her. SGT: Gamer Tag: KSI Painter26 Forums Account: @KSI Painter26 Reason: Painter has been an officer in Succubus’s time of need and when he stepped back down he is still helpful in increasing squad activity and is always down to play with anyone, especially Apex. I feel he is one of Succubus most well known member of the Succubus Sergeants He is just a all around excellent member of Eternal Souls. Forums Staff (Mods, Senior Mods, Admins): KSI DropShot7 (AKA THE KID) Gamer Tag: KSI DropShot7 Forums Account: @Mr. DropShot Reason: Dropshot is one of the backbones of this community. Not only is he the head of TNE but he is also a Admin for the forums. He is always on the lookout for stuff that needs corrected updated or a post that shouldnt be there. He is always willing to help people get on the forums. Example of this is earlier this year we had a issue getting people new forums accounts. With this being a know issue i was attempting to get multiple people forums accounts since they were new to the community. He took the time to give me steps to take before he could assist in getting them confirmed. This allowed me to get multiple people into the forums and expand there knowledge of there community. Department Member Gamertag: KSI Boootz Forums Account Link / @: @Boootz Reasons they deserve this award: Boots has done an excellent job in mentoring me and assisting me with anything I need to confirm or make sure is accurate. Boots is one of the best mods and most active. Always willing to help with anything anyone needs. Without boootz I feel that it would be a completely different enviroment for the join app section as Boootz always notify and communicates to the staff of new apps and if something needs corrected.

Category: Division Leader Gamertag: KSI Rogue 7 Forums Link: @KSI Rogue 7 Reasons they deserve this award: I believe Rogue deserves this award because he is a consummate professional in all of his administrative duties and then goes above and beyond our expectations to support our division. He is always giving back to the community and helps us to do so as well. Part of his success is his keen ability to think through the best way to do things, the other part is his ability to build the trust and confidence amongst the leaders he mentors for him to assume accountability for stewarding this entire process. He’s always looking for opportunities to collaborate and streamline work, as well as help members grow personally and professionally in their roles through teachable moments. He’s not overbearing and allows us to make mistakes before stepping in and helping. Some noteworthy things he’s done while being a div lead are his creation of the KSI Community Server, becoming an Education Mentor hosting classes like LEAD 101, implemented the "State Of The Division" monthly Divisional Meeting held on Discord to better inform and educate the members, which I was told greatly helped during the Hydra peace talks to allow members to voice their opinions and concerns, and created a new awesome workshop called Character Development to better the leadership in the community. He is also extremely active in AAP and a major voice in the LC. For his hard work he has received the SL Hall of Fame, received 2 consecutive Division Leader of The Month awards for September and October, and got the Bright Idea award for his widely used Standardized Recruiting and Promoting Procedures. I hope you see fit to give him this award as he exemplifies what KSI stands for. Category: Co-Founder Gamertag: KSI Slick 7 Forums Link: @KSI Slick 7 Reasons they deserve this award: KSI Slick 7 is one of the best natured guys I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting and he has done so much for the division. He always has a positive outlook and keeps calm and collected in trying situations. As a mentor, he had a hand in bringing KSI N3wera 7 and KSI WuTang 7 up from generals to 7’s. He was the acting Gen of Knights twice. During the first time, he only had one officer but within a few weeks he had four trained and skilled officers. He also helped create Dynasty as a rebirth of two of SL’s longest standing but struggling squads. For all his hard work, I believe KSI Slick 7 deserves the Co-Founder of the Year award. Category: Lieutenant Gamertag: KSI Bearded1 Forums Link: Reasons they deserve this award: KSI Bearded1 hit the ground running as soon as he became an officer. He has taken workshops multiple times to become more knowledgeable and isn’t afraid to ask questions if he needs clarification. When the Lead 101 class was announced he was like sign me up. He stepped up and did more than what was required of him since we had a small officer core which we greatly appreciated. As a Lieutenant, he is continuing to kill it by continuing to be proactive and executes his duties efficiently. Category: Staff Sergeant Gamertag: KSI Khosec Forums Link: @COD3SILVER Reasons they deserve this award: KSI KHOSEC has done an awesome job and upheld his officer responsibilities efficiently and with ease. He executes his workshops flawlessly, always with a great personal touch, and game nights have been a great time for all involved. Even his posts for game nights and workshops are fun and inviting. He’s been a great mentor to KSI Bearded1 and I have no doubt he’ll continue to do so with many others. I’m excited to see his future in KSI. #StrongSide Category: Sergeant Gamertag: KSI Sasuke08 Forums Link: @KSI Sasuke Uchi Reasons they deserve this award: KSI Sasuke08 has been an excellent member all around. From gaming with everyone to helping anyone who needs help, he’s been on top of it. Extremely active in discord and game nights even though he’s halfway around the world. His location is a big factor as to why he hasn’t moved up in the ranks but his lengthy experience in KSI has proved him to be a valuable asset to the division. For these reasons, he has received SL Hall of Fame and a unique position was created for him and he is now the official Training Officer for SL.

Category: Forums Staff Gamertag: KSI Venum 7 Forums Account Link / @: @VENUM 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Venum is by far one of the most knowledgeable members when it comes to anything with the forums. He is the one who trained me on how to be a forums moderator and is always there if myself or the other forums mods, even the join staff, need any helps with anything or if we have any questions. I can always count on him to be there to help.

Senior Leader (Board Of Directors, Senior Directors): Category: Senior Director Gamertag: KSI Swag 77 Forums Account Link / @KSI Swag 77 Reasons they deserve this award: I mean I feel this is self explanatory. Swag has enhanced KSI. It literally flows from him. Not only was he a great Div leader, but then he went to Director, and not long after Senior Director. During that time Swag taught leader by instilling the KSI spirit within them. He has went forward with everything that has been thrown at him with excellence, only stopping to eat a pickle along the way. Co-Founder: Category: CoFo Gamertag: KSI Uppish 7 Forums Account Link / @KSI Uppish 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Uppish is always there for his peeps. He doesn't act like he's any better than u. He treats you as if your on the same level as him. Its no surprise to see him on this list he was a great Gen but he makes for an even better color with how he treats people. General: Category: Gen Gamertag: KSI BLITZ11 Forums Account Link / @KSI Blitz11 Reasons they deserve this award: BLITZ overcame all odds set against him as a captain basically running the squad for months as a gen without the official title. He inspired a lot of people to become leaders, trained them up to be better then they were before. Lieutenant: Category: LT Gamertag: KSI MrsBLITZ Forums Account Link / @KSI MRSBLITZ Reasons they deserve this award: MrsBLITZ was a leader always there for other no matter when or what it was about. She took care of her own even with her own personal stuff going on she continued to support others.

Category: Division Leader Gamertag: KSI Rogue 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Rogue 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Rogue was always so helpful, even when we first entered SL he was always helpful. He's mentored me so much and has helped me get to where I am today. Whether it be KSI or it be personal, he has always been there for me to listen to whatever problem that I have. He knows me on a personal level which almost all of KSI doesn't know me like that, I trust him and he's also a great leader. Category: Co-Founder Gamertag: KSI Slick 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Slick 7 Reasons they deserve this award: He is also a big mentor to me. He helped me get to where I am today. He has also always been there for me if I had a problem. He is so helpful in just the little amount of time that I have known him. If it weren't for him I don't know where I would be. To be honest if it wasn't for him and all his knowledge and helpful quotes I would not be a Co-founder.

Category: Division Leader Gamertag: KSI Joe 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Joe 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Joe has been an amazing mentor and leader. Setting great examples time after time. He has helped see things from different perspectives and helped make being in DM a great experience for me. He sets the bar for what i wanna be and surpass as a member in KSI Category: Co-founder Gamertag: KSI DntAsk 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI DntAsk 7 Reasons they deserve this award: DntAsk has been a big help to me and many others from being a member to just being there to talk to when you need. She is reliable and encourages members that look to move up on what they need to do to be successful. She is always willing to listen to ideas and help push or make them better. Category: General Gamertag: KSI Lilith 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Lilith 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Lilith has set a great back bone for officers. She can point members in the right direction into becoming a great member. Made coming up in wrath easy to transition into. Category: LT Gamertag: KSI Shatner Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Shatner Reasons they deserve this award: Since Shatner came to wrath, he has hit the ground running. Made me feel like i wasn't doing enough a couple times lol. He is super reliable, carries out tasks given to him with ease. Glad to have him as my right hand as a General in Wrath. Category: SGT Gamertag: KSI Aether Forums Account Link / @: @God of Snacks Reasons they deserve this award: Aether is the reason I joined KSI, he is a great member and friend to have. I can bring any new member around and know if i step away. The new member will have a great time. He has found numerous people that became great members in KSI Category: Head Of Education Gamertag: KSI DC 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI DC 7 Reasons they deserve this award: DC lead 101 and 201 class have aided me in numerous ways as an officer. He is a great teacher and makes being in class with him fun. i learned a lot taking those and encourage members to take classes he host

Category: Senior Leader (Board Of Directors, Senior Directors): Gamertag: KSI Kakashii 77 Forums Account Link / @: @Kakashii 77 Reasons they deserve this award: I truly believe that this member has gone above and beyond his duties as head of LC. KSI accomplished a milestone in the peace talks with Hydra and He was there to deal with all the positives and negatives of talks between the BoD, LC members, and Hydra. I believe he was a true example of professionalism as he conducted LC meetings with this extremely hard and controversial subject. He stayed on task and kept to the subject at hand. He also has conducted interviews for new LC members at 3 am in order to get to every applicant. Im not sure how he accomplished running the meetings, monitoring the chat during meetings and taking notes but he did that for a few months. And to do all of that on top of the sensitive material handled in the meetings is really unbelievable to me as just a note taker. He is always available to answer any questions or needs I have and honestly I am very excited to be able to nominate him for OTY considering he was an intricate part of helping get the peace talks started, and continuing in a positive direction. Thank you KSI Kakashi 77 for doing everything you do out of concern for this community. Category: Director Gamertag: KSI xKing 77 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI xKing 77 Reasons they deserve this award: It amazes me how much King has already done for DM. He is always available day or night and he has already experienced full force the curse of DM, no sleep lol. He is active in all the chats, from encouraging the officers to meeting and greeting members. He is trying new game types in order to be active in gamenight's and individual parties. The total upheaval of our division didn't scare him one bit. He rolled up his sleeves and began working right beside the leaders in DM to repair and heal the remaining squads. He helped us from our first 7's meeting by setting new goals to learning basics over again.. King has shined as an example of what this community is all about, family and team work. Category: Division Leader Gamertag: KSI Joe 7 Forums Account Link / @KSI Joe 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Honestly, this man is a powerhouse. He will never ever realize the amount of members he has a positive influence on. He has grown in many ways this year. He has come into his own about standing up for himself and others. He has definitely been in the trenches for KSI in trying to maintain a safe and fun gaming community for all the members in DM. Even as a div lead he is out there recruiting and then spending hours getting the new recruit connected and involved. His work ethic is such that at one point this year he wore three hats, div lead, acting cofo, and acting General all at the same time. He gets tired but is always ready to jump in and help in any situation. He remains professional and always sees things from his point of view but also from the other members point of view. He never uses his rank for power or self benefit. He always sees it as more ways to help others. DM would never have made it this year without him. Category: General Gamertag: KSI Lilith 7 Forums Account Link / @KSI Lilith 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Amanda has dealt with so much since she decided to step up and be an officer. As a general she never allowed anyone to sway her from her duties. She always took the time to keep close eye on details and never shied away from her squad becoming the best it could be. Category: Captain Gamertag: KSI T StackG Forums Account Link / @KSI T StackG Reason T Stack has been a tremendous breath of fresh air since he was recruited. He first stepped up to be an officer to help his General out but that quickly turned to also wanting to help each member have their best KSI experience. He took on every promotion, every recruitment and every gamenight with a smile and never complained. He reached out to all the members and many times I've seen him in chat telling someone that he didn't have a game but would get it in order to play with them. He is everyday putting positive qoutes in the chats and trying to get hype going with questions and/or polls. He is truly going to prove to be a young powerhouse in this division. Category: SGT Gamertag: KSI Ocean Power Forums Account Link / @KSI Ocean Power Reasons they deserve this award: Ocean is a very unique and awesome member of the DM family. He has gone above and beyond to help out any member however young or old, good gamer or bad. He is very aware of every individual and "gets a feeling" when they need a personal message or talk. He lives the code of KSI on a daily basis minute by minute and no matter what happens or the problems that come up he is positive, patient and up beat through all of them. He is willing to help in any way possible and is even willing to get "the stink eye from his wife for being on too late taking care of others. We love you Ocean. Category: MEMBER Gamertag: KSIxRoyal Forums Account Link / @KSIxRoyal Reasons they deserve this award: So this member is a true hero in DM. He has the patience that most all us leaders would love to have. He can be in a party and even though he cruises through gaming he always slows down and picks members up and teaches them or carries them. Even if its hours in a raid. I have never heard him speak a negative word about anyone and he always gos with the flow and just continues on to the end no matter what challenge in RL he may be dealing with. He supports the newest recruit to the oldest leader. Rank means nothing to him because he is friendly and that's everyone equal.

Category: SGT Gamertag: KSI Ocean Power Forums Account Link / @KSI Ocean Power Reasons they deserve this award: Let me tell ya it is an honor to know this legend of a guy. One who will be there when you most need him. One to vibe out with at 3:00 in the morning. One who cares for each and every member to there core. One who doesn't care how good or bad you are at a game he'll pick you for the team. The amount of times this man has made someone laugh or smile is mind blowing. He is the type of member everyone strives to be. DM would not be the same without him.

Category: Division Leader Gamertag: KSI Joe 7 Forums Account Link @KSI Joe 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Joe has been a powerhouse this year, and part of the glue that binds DM together. This year has certainly been one for the record books with the amount of ups and downs, and twists and turns. Joe never allowed that to get the best of him, at least not in front of any of us. He's taken his position as Division Leader and ran with it. The ship very well could've sank this year, and DM wouldn't exist, but Joe took the helm and guided us in the right direction. Morale has increased tenfold, recruits are coming in left and right, member retention has been fantastic, and for the first time in a good long while there's transparency between the squads, members and officers alike. The man is a miracle worker, and deserves a KSI sainthood if you ask me lol. I'm kidding, Joe...kinda. Seriously though, Joe is phenomenal at anything he does, and being a Division Leader is no exception. Category: Co-Founder Gamertag: KSI DntAsk 7 Forums Account Link @KSI DntAsk 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Speaking of sainthood, I'm pretty this awesome lady already is one. She certainly has the patience of one lol. Pam is another part of the glue that binds DM together. She is on top of everything. Her attention to detail, ability to retain members, actively listen to what's going on, and be there as a mentor to everyone in DM is really second to none. It's like she and Joe are cut from the same cloth, and DM won the jackpot of awesomeness with both of them. Category: General Gamertag: KSI Lilith 7 Forums Account Link @KSI Lilith 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Lilith is a true pleasure to work with. She's always happy to be around members, and her attention to everything related to a squad is pretty amazing to witness. She has everything down to a T, and things just go smooth. As general, she was very effective at retaining members, bringing in fresh recruits, and staying on top of daily tasks such as promotions. When her squad basically doubled overnight, she didn't let it shake her. She's always calm, cool, and collected. That being said, her promotion to DM's newest Co-Founder made all the sense in the world. Category: Captain Gamertag: KSI T StackG Forums Account Link @KSI T StackG Reasons they deserve this award: This man right here is sus. I'm kidding! Stack is an absolute beast. Just check the stat chats lol. Recruiting, promoting, member retention, being there as a friend and mentor...there's nothing he can't do, and he doesn't allow room for complacency. If you're messing up, he'll be the first one to tell you, but he'll also guide you on how to fix it. He's a firm believer that we grow stronger together, and will never leave a person behind if he can help it. He may be tough, but he's also fair, and that makes for a great leader.

Category: General Gamertag: KSI Fenny Forums Account Link / @: ksiforums.org/profile/20284-fennyishere/ Reasons they deserve this award: I believe that Fenny deserves this award because while only being a gen for a short period of time she has done so over a pretty major time in the community. After taking the position we pretty much immediately went into transfer mode to start the new Division and Squads. Fenny has maintained order in the midst of what could easily have become utter chaos. She is a great example of a excellent leader and always willing to help out and go that extra mile. Category: Division Leader Gamertag: KSI Rogue 7 Forums Account Link / @: ksiforums.org/profile/48285-ksi-rogue-7/ Reasons they deserve this award: The reason i believe that Rogue deserves this award is because he has been and continues to be an inspirational leader in every role he is in. He is a great role model for any up and coming officer or member on what we strive to portray with-in this community. He has always gone above and beyond the call of duty for anyone that needed help with something. Category: Member Gamertag: KSI Zappi Forums Account Link / @: ksiforums.org/profile/51381-ksi-zappi Reasons they deserve this award: I believe that Zappi deserves this award because of his dedication and commitment to the community. Always looking to learn and grow as an individual and up and coming officer.

Category: Senior Leader Gamertag: KSI AIRBORNE 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Airborne 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Since his promotion to Chief Department Manager (CDM), Airborne has played a critical role in department development. He has always been available when I’ve had some departmental concerns and has always aided in coming up with a solution. I’ll admit, there have been times where I really voiced my concerns and may have taken it out on Airborne here and there but he’s always put up with my ‘tude. He frequently reaches out and checks in with me about Productions-related stuff, he actively engages with members in my department, and is open to and encourages new ideas. Category: Forums Staff Gamertag: KSI DropShot 7 Forums Account Link / @: @Mr. DropShot Reasons they deserve this award: DropShot started this year as a Forums Moderator. However, he did not have much experience over the Join Area and wanted to learn more and take on more Web Ops responsibilities. He took initiative and sought out what he could do to help out , which led him to learning about the join/rejoin area, taking on join and rejoin applications and was eventually promoted to Senior Forums Moderator. Since then, DropShot has trained many Web Ops members, who are currently under him, and has brought up several great leaders. DropShot has answered any and all of my mod-related questions, even if it's just something simple. As Head Admin, he assigns and removes departmental roles in a very timely manner, is quick to answer questions via discord, and is always available to help with forum IT issues. He is well-rounded in all aspects of KSI and is available to answer any questions, no matter the topic or area of KSI. I appreciate all of your hard work and dedication to KSI! Thank you for all that you do! Category: Department Head Gamertag: KSI Akame 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Akame 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Akame proves his dedication to KSI and T&E time and time again during annual events and when hosting Weekend Warfares. Akame is across the world from a lot of us and is several hours ahead of EST, however, this has not stopped Akame from being active during all events. He ruins his sleep schedule to ensure that KSI Tournaments and Events are running smoothly, tell me that’s not dedication. He also handles issues that arise during events in a professional manner, and pulls people aside to talk in order to resolve conflict. Akame encourages T&E members to pick different games that he knows people play throughout KSI, so we don’t have events on the same game week and week again. Overall, Akame works tirelessly to make sure all KSI events run as smoothly as possible. This is not an easy task and can be very exhausting at times. Maybe it’s all that coffee he drinks but he sure does make it look effortless! Oh, let's not forget he was Spirit Week King 2020! Category: Department Member Gamertag: KSI Cable Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Cable Reasons they deserve this award: Since joining Productions, Cable has always been available to be an “emergency streamer” aka back-up in case something goes wrong and we need to switch streamers for an event. Cable picks up on things very easily and doesn’t need much guidance when it comes to streaming events. In addition, he’s recently joined T&E has been able to navigate the bracket website very easily and, again, hasn’t needed much help with setting events up. Cable also handles any issues that arise in a professional manner and can quickly answer any questions that members may have. Category: Member Gamertag: KSI Shadow007 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Shadow007 Reasons they deserve this award: Shadow is in all three areas of KSI, Clan Ops, Dept Ops, and Web Ops, and he is equally active in each. He is very well-rounded and definitely deserves to earn this award. First, Shadow has been in T&E for as long as I can remember. I’ve hosted many events alongside Shadow. He is always on top of things that need to get done; any brackets, messages, game rules and settings, maps, etc. Shadow is always professional and handles any T&E issues with ease. He also came to me with concerns regarding Dept Ops and we were able to bring the concerns up the chain to help make some change in KSI. Second, Shadow is in Web Ops as a join moderator. He handles his join/rejoin apps in a professional way and does not hesitate to take on additional applications. Shadow isn't afraid to ask any questions or help other join mods. And third, Shadow is currently a Director in Clan Ops so I’m assuming he did an amazing job as Div Leader. I don’t really know Shadow in the Clan Ops area of KSI, but through some interactions I know he is very active with members from his division and tries to encourage people to participate in KSI events. Again, he handles any and all issues in a very professional manner, and asks all the questions that need to be answered. So many people look up to Shadow. He has gained so much knowledge and information from being active in all areas of KSI. He is also very knowledgeable about other information not KSI-related and has helped me a ton - he replies to me very quickly via discord and tries his hardest to help in any way possible. Everything that he has done for me, and others, is very much appreciated!

Senior Director: KSI TexAngel 7 Gamertag: @KSI TexAngel 77 Forums Link: Reasons they deserve this award: Tex did a great job with bringing ES back from the rut we were in. She brought the division back to life and has been a great mentor. She works hard to be there for the leadership and care for the members. KSI is better because of her. Division Leader: KSI Rogue 7 Gamertag: @KSI Rogue 7 Forums Link: Reasons they deserve this award: Rogue is just the man. He even reaches out to other divisions to make them feel included and cared for. He listens and gives great advice to challenging issues. He has been a great role model for his division and even myself. Several of his teachings and policies I even brought into ES with me. One hell of a mentor and taught one of the best Lead classes anyone could ask for. Dude even made a whole server for all of KSI when he was a Div Lead. This guy lives, eats, and breathes KSI. Co-Founder: KSI Barb 7 Gamertag: @KSI Barb 7 Forums Link: Reasons they deserve this award: Barb has help me out as a Co-founder. My schedule has not been as open as hers so helped take a lot off my plate and more on her. She has been a great teammate and we work great as a team together. She is always there for her members and also became an Education mentor too. General: KSI VIP3R Gamertag: @KSI VIP3R [GEN] Forums Link: Reasons they deserve this award: Viper has been an outstanding general and he is always wanting to learn. Viper always listens and is great at training other members and his officers. He is basically a little Death lol. He did awesome in the Lead class and hopefully soon he can keep keep on moving up. Captain: Gamertag: KSI Squeek 7 Forums Link: @Squeek 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Squeek was the CPT that KSI always needs. She does anything she can to make things better for the squad and KSI. She is always bringing ideas to the table to help out. She loves training members and always got her tasks completed. SSGT: KSI Twistex Gamertag: @KSI Twistex Forums Link: Reasons they deserve this award: Twistex is a great SSGT. He is always wanting to help out and learn. Twistex was a LT but even stepped down to squad transfer because he saw a squad in help and transferred to help and is now getting things done in that squad.

Category: Division Leader Gamertag: KSI Rogue 7 Forums Account Link / @KSI Rogue 7 Reasons: Rogue is an extremely inspirational and multi-faceted leader. No matter his position he kills it. As a Div lead Rogue has shown tremendous leadership, fortitude and the passion to teach others. He leads everyone below him, even a week old member can be impacted by this mans wisdom. I personally have learned a ton about how to be an effective leader from him. He conducts himself as a leader in everything that he does, and His passion for our community impacts everyone around him. Category: Lieutenant Gamertag: KSI xATHENAx Forums Account Link / @KSI xATHENAx Reasons: Athena is a leader that can engage anyone. She leads others to become the best leaders themselves, even if they aren't in our officer core. Whether she is out hunting for new members, retaining new members or engaging the Officer Core and 7's Staff, she continually leads and makes an impact on those around her. I am truly confident that Athena will play a large role in the future face of KSI and especially that of SL. Her determination, leadership, excitement and engagement will continue to impact our community well beyond her Lieutenant days. Category: Sergeant Gamertag: KSI Bearded1 Forums Account Link / @FearTheBeard253 Reasons: Bearded1 has shown what it means to be an amazing Sergeant and what it looks like to be the future leadership of our community. From his first week in KSI he jumped in head first learning the ropes, focusing on member engagement and retention. His interest and passion in our community has made a huge impact in our squad and our division. I am excited to see how Bearded1 continues to impact our community as we move forward.

Category: Department Head Gamertag: KSI Starset 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Starset 7 Reasons they deserve this award: I’ve been around AAP for a hot minute seen lots of phenomenal heads such as Riiot and Airborne and now Starset. Starset is that type of leader that pushes you to better yourself will give opportunities to progress in the department time after time even though I turn it down lol. But throughout the year AAP is and has been that department that shined like a diamond consistently and he is responsible for this but as well as the staff and when the awards was broken he was still giving the staff motivation to remain patient cause we all knew the system would be back up and it was lol and he and the cohead zoomed through it all to get everyone awarded within 24 hours all in all he might be a TTFB but he’s our TTFB Category: Senior Leader Gamertag: KSI xKing 77 Forums Account Link / @ @KSI xKing 77 Reasons they deserve this award: Often times we are presented with challenges that may appear daunting at first and often seem hopeless at times but it takes strength to persevere and throughout this year and that is what King has done this year and the years before and will do in the years to come he has this aura to him I’ve told him many times it’s the Midas Touch everything he has been involved in directly goes from fools gold to the highest grade you can get lol and when he got the CEO promotion I knew everything was gonna be alright and it has been phenomenal ever since the community is growing the members are happy it’s like KSI is turning into one big happy family again a lot of people had their hand in it but honestly the biggest hand is Kings Category Captain Gamertag KSI Blitz11 Account @KSI Blitz11 Reasoning Often times soft spoken but the definition of Captain or Capatain of The Year when he was initially rerecruited he was unsure of becoming an officer but when the time was right he stepped up and it was definitely at the perfect moment climbing the ranks making his voice being heard he was running his squad as a LT but he shined as Captain constantly working his ass off to make sure Elysium stayed afloat constantly getting with the members helping the officers just essentially being the true leader of that squad and it was that hard work that paid off that got him his general promotion Blitz has what you call Grit. Category Lieutenant Gamertag KSI MrsBlitz Account @KSI MRSBLITZ Reasoning The hardest working LT in the game is a title I used to describe this nominee never turned down a member in need whether it was KSI Advice or Real Life advice she made the time for anybody no matter the time each task that was designated to her she accomplished no questions asked MrsBlitz is that kind of officer that you only see once in a blue moon her dedication and respect for the rank and the members alike is something that is admirable.

Division Leader: KSI Rogue 7 @KSI Rogue 7 Reasons: Rogue has been an inspirational leader since I joined KSI. With all the his Div Lead duties he still finds time to game with members and attend game nights and workshops to support the officers of SL. He has been there whenever I needed help and led an amazing Lead 101 class. I have learned so much about being a leader from Rogue, not just from the class, but by seeing how he conducts himself within KSI. His dedication to KSI is contagious. General: KSIxAsuma 77 @KSIxAsuma 77 Reasons: Asuma has built an awesome officer core that I am honored to be apart of. He has the most active squad in our division and his leadership is a big part of why. He has been able to find the balance of going to school and still finding time to fulfill his officer duties and work on member retention! He does a great job of ensuring everyone gets to talk during the squad meetings which helps with getting people acquainted with one another. Lieutenant: KSI xATHENAx @KSI xATHENAx Reasons: ATHENA has shown me so much of what is means to be an effective officer within KSI. She goes out of her way to ensure people who want to be trained get trained and getting anything that needs to be done gets done. She has done an excellent job growing our squad(PRESTIGE) and member retention. She loves what she does and challenges others to always do more. Her excitement for KSI duties is contagious. SSGT: KSI KHOSEC @COD3SILVER Reasons: I’ve known KHOSEC within KSI and before he was in KSI. Seeing his dedication to KSI convinced me to join because it seemed like a fun group to become apart of. Since joining I’ve been trained by him and this man runs incredibly engaging workshops, and always ensures those he plays with are having a good time. He has filled every duty he has been asked and always goes a step beyond. An excellent example of an officer.

Co-Founder Gamertag: KSI DC 7 @KSI DC 7 DC and I have been friends for over a year now. We have often had clashing opinions and ideas, especially over hot button issues and many heated conversations transpired from that. But we always kept cool heads and had a civil conversation. That's approach DC takes to everything he does in KSI. He uses that big brain of his to think of several different solutions and picks the best one to move forward with. Crunk is also one of the most selfless leaders in KSI. He literally SWITCHED DIVISIONS just to help WD from spiraling and potentially having to close. He's smart, creative, and great at explaining his point of view in different ways so people can understand why he thinks the way he does. Crunk is someone every person should watch as he continues to rise through the ranks and impact KSI more and more. Captain Gamertag: KSI JAK KNIFE 7 @KSI JAK KNIFE 7 Jak, my old friend, I'd be lost without you. This man is literally the GOAT. I give a lot of people extremely high praise, but none more so than Jak. Whenever I feel like pulling my hair out because someone is driving me bonkers, I go to Jak. As a 5-year KSI member, he's seen a little bit of everything and how to handle it. Jak has been a consistent voice of logic and reason even when I want to go nuclear. There aren't enough words in the English language to describe the amount of respect I personally have for KSI JAK KNIFE 7. That being said, Jak has been a Captain for TEN AND A HALF MONTHS THIS YEAR. I'd send the Omegas screenshot but I hear there's a rule against that. But Jak was promoted to Captain on October 29,2019 and was promoted to General on November 18, 2020. During that time he became the primary engine that drove Hellborn forward. The man recruited, trained, and promoted like a machine without ever being asked. Lieutenant Gamertag: KSI Draconic @KSI Draconic KSI Draconic, better known as Draco, was an EXCEPTIONAL Lieutenant this year. As a Lieutenant he was completing the duties of a Captain without me, his General, ever having to even ask. Draco goes off on recruiting, promotions, security checks, gamenights, and retention while balancing a hectic family life and a full slate of college classes. I honestly don't know how he does it. As Hellborn split into CS and became Rebellion he kicked into top gear. Draco single handedly reached out to, and transferred, the majority of members of Hellborn into Rebellion. And he always asks questions and search out answers whenever he has them. Whether he's just double checking something he forgot or wants to learn something completely new, Draco has always had plenty of questions. The members like his calm and even-keeled nature and are always getting help from him in games. He's helped tons of members make millions in GTA and even joined the GSM Team so he can keep up-to-date on the GTA weekly updates. He always shares what's happening and was the first to hear about the new DLC coming out for GTA in a couple weeks. Nowadays, Draco is a TOP tier Captain but he really shone through this year as a Lieutenant and he's still kicking butt everyday! Sergeant Gamertag: KSI Zordish @KSI Zordon Zordon, Zordish, or Zordbish. Whatever you call him he's always around even he's not. Even when his Xbox got stolen he was hanging out on the Xbox App and Discord. Zordon is super fun to hangout with in parties and constantly trying to help members in various games. Even is he isn't the best at them. It is always a pleasure to chillax with Zordon. Member Gamertag: KSIxJ0KER @KSIxJ0KER One of these days I will finally convince this guy to take the "0" out his GT and make it a "O." But mild annoyances aside. Joker has a Captain in Hellborn since February. The problem is that he got stuck behind Jak Knife, who's been the most outstanding Captain in KSI this year by a country mile (in my not-at-all biased opinion lol). But don't count Joker out of the running, because he knows his stuff and is always ready to rock! Joker, as a member and officer, has recruited, trained, and promoted like a boss. He also took the lead in training his now fellow Captain, KSI Draconic. Joker has been, and still is, an invaluable member of Hellborn and Rebellion for well over a full year. Joker is smart and always on top of his work. Diligently performing his duties and engaging members on a daily basis. He's even bought other members other games as well as a headset. His kindness and generosity is well known too. He's learned so, so much as an officer and been through the muck in both irl and KSI a few times this year. Despite the setbacks, he always returned stronger than ever and pushed even more to better his squad. There are very few people like Joker in KSI and I'm extremely proud to call him my friend. Keep up the fantastic work brother. Department Member Gamertag: DrinkyourDamTea @DrinkYourDamTea Tea, or Janelle, has been phenomenal in News this year. Everytime an article needed to get written, an interview needed to be conducted, or an annual event needed to be recapped, Janelle was on top of it with no questions asked. She's recently started taking on more responsibility as an editor too. Training new writers and editing articles to make them better. And she's getting pretty good at it too. I'm looking forward to watching her continue to grow and evolve as a member of News!

Category: Divison Leader Gamertag: KSI Rogue 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Rogue 7 Reasons they deserve this award: I feel man deserves this award for many reasons. He is always willing to go out of his way too help any and all members of KSI. He puts so much heart and effort into making KSI the amazing community it is today. And on top of that he had made a new workshop which is a very educational workshop! He taught the Leadership 101 class and with his explanation on everything. I learned so much!!! Category: Co-Founder Gamertag: KSI WuTang 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI WU TANG Reasons they deserve this award: This guy has helped SL and his current squad Templar out so much. He is willing to take time out of his day to check on the squad and help get things rolling. His bluntness can reall motivate just about anyone who is willing to listen to what he has too say! Category: General Gamertag: KSI Huntartt Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Huntartt Reasons they deserve this award: Even though just recently becoming a Gen. She is doing an amazing job with helping out the members! It doesn’t have too be just Templar but other Squads as well! She is always willing to hop in a party to either help a member with a question or situation or just hop in too chat and have fun!

Senior Leader (Board Of Directors, Senior Directors): Gamertag: KSI Kakashii 77 Forums Account Link / @: @Kakashii 77 Reasons they deserve this award: Where to begin? The year of 2020 has seen Kakashii go from being a SGT all the way to the current LCC. That in itself should be enough. He is continually making the time to be with the members of the community to train the current and future leaders of the community. There was a time when Kakakshii felt that he would not be able to do what was needed to help the squad that he was over, but with determination, he was able to rebuild a squad that was struggling. Kakashii has taken his time to work with the leaders of the community on shaping the future of it. He has been involved with the peace talks with the Hydra Alliance and helping to mend that bond. The list goes on and on. This man is more than deserving to receive this award. #BBO4Lyfe Director: Gamertag: KSI Swag 77 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Swag 77 Reasons they deserve this award: Words cannot even explain how much Swag is deserving of this award. This year, Swag has help shape two divisions and worked his way from being a division leader to now being a Senior Director. Swag is the man you go to when you are feeling down or need someone to talk to. He will always be there! Swag has put hours upon hours to help grow the divisions that he has been over. He is more than deserving of this award. #PickleKing Division Leader: Gamertag: KSI Rogue 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Rogue 7 Reasons they deserve this award: I cannot say this enough! Rogue is a down to earth, fun going, charismatic man. When you think of an effective leader within KSI, KSI Rogue 7 is that man. He has gone from being a Co-Founder, to now being a Director. He has devoted endless hours to perfecting the betterment of the community and his division. There is no time that Rogue has not been available to talk and get things done. Rogue has continued to shine in the community by being inducted into the SL Hall of Fame, being in Education, and apart of the LC. The list goes on and on with this man. He deserves to be recognized and a pillar of this community and Sovereign Legacy. Co-Founder: Gamertag: KSI Slick 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Slick 7 Reasons they deserve this award: The time that Slick has been a Co-Founder, he has worked his tail off to be there for his members. Slick has shown resilience as a Co-Founder in his duties and time he has spent with the members of his division. As Acting General, he worked very hard to get a squad that was struggling, back on its feet. He has been able to make an impact and mentor many people. He how now taken on the role of Division Leader in SL and is continuing to work hard to build this community stronger. This man deserves this award. Lieutenant: Gamertag: KSI xATHENAx Forums Account Link / @: @KSI xATHENAx Reasons they deserve this award: It has been a great thing to see how Athena has shined. She joined the community only a few months ago. Since day one, she was a superstar in the squad. She has continued to exceed expectations that have been set for her. Her time as a Lieutenant was amazing! She stepped up to the plate and got work done. At the time I had no CPTs and she stepped into her role and her and the other LT helped with doing Captain duties as well. Athena would and continues to spend time with the members of the squad and provide amazing concepts to help better the squad. I am grateful for her hard work and determination. #WhatSide?!?! #StrongSide!! SSGT: Gamertag: KSI KHOSEC Forums Account Link / @: @COD3SILVER Reasons they deserve this award: Where to begin? KHOSEC has worked very hard with his time as an officer. He has taken every changed thrown at him and taken it head-on. I do not believe that there is anything this man cannot accomplish when he puts his mind to it. #WhatSide?!?! #StrongSide!! Forums Staff (Mods, Senior Mods, Admins): Gamertag: KSI VENUM 7 Forums Account Link / @: @VENUM 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Venum has been a great asset to the Forums team. He is well versed and knowledgeable with being able to handle situations that arise and understanding the best course of action. Venum has worked hard to be there for the members that he oversees and makes sure that they are well equipped to help them with what needs to be done. Department Head: Gamertag: KSI MeShell 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI MeShell 7 Reasons they deserve this award: MeShell has worked tirelessly to make the productions team what it is today. She has taken the time to revamp how things are done within the department and it has done wonders. Shell has continued to work with the members of the team to be the most qualified and prepared for their tasks. Enough said, this woman is a superstar! Department Member: Gamertag: KSI Gosuko Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Gosuko Reasons they deserve this award: In the time that Gosuko has been in the productions department, he has been a rock star! He streams multiple times a week, engages with his fellow streamers, and brings up moral for the team. Gosuko takes the time to help out his fellow streamers when they have questions and has continued to work hard to be the best he can for the productions department. Even though he is at BMT for the military, I know that when he returns, he will be as solid as he was when he left. Member (Overall best member of the community for the year): Gamertag: KSI GHIDORAH Forums Account Link / @: @KSI HIDAN Reasons they deserve this award: Let us start with the first time that I met GHIDORAH over 6 months ago. When we first met, this guy was a chip of the ole block. He was the life of the party and understood how to have fun. He spent 5 months as an officer. During that time he was dealing with so many things in his personal life. This man has no quit in him and would not let things stop him from being the best that he could be. This man not just as an officer, but as a member as well took the time to break down barriers and be a friend to everyone that he came into contact with. It may seem like a difficult task, but GHIDORAH worked hard to help the members spread their wings and meet new people. He did not do any of this to make himself look better or because he was an officer. He did it because he understood his "Why". GHIDORAH's "Why" for being in this community, is to bring people together and make sure they are having a good time. Even when he personally was struggling and not having a great day, he would still put a smile in that voice and be there to cheer up the family(KSI). Thank you KSI GHIDORAH for all that you have done this year for the squad and this community! #IWouldLikeToMakeAStatment

Category: Senior Leader Gamertag: KSI Airborne 7 - CDM Link to Forums Account: @KSI Airborne 7 Reasoning: Airborne has been a vital piece to all the departments since his promotion to Chief Department Manager. I can speak for what he has done for me and my department. He has been here my whole journey in AAP. When he promoted me to Department Head, it was clear that we’d always have a line of communication whenever I needed it. He was readily available for myself and the other department heads to help out when and where needed. He is always trying to think outside the box and is open to new ideas throughout the departments. Category: Director Gamertag: KSI Swag 77 Link to Forums Account: @KSI Swag 77 Reasoning: I feel Swag’s best work this year was at Director. This man is the prime example of how a leader should be in the community. He’s faced some hardships during his time as Director, such as the former WD 7 Staff all dipping out at the same time and having to help rebuild the division from the ground up with leaders such as DC and Harley. Swag is very keen on ensuring everyone is accounted for and talked to, even goes out of his way to make time for members who want to talk and game. He also is big on education and making sure the leaders below him are trained efficiently and properly, setting up everyone below him for success. Category: Division Leader Gamertag: KSI Rogue 7 Link to Forums Account: @KSI Rogue 7 Reasoning: I feel Rogue did his best work this year as a Division Leader. This man was the life-blood of SL. He ate, slept, and breathed that division. Always providing a positive and intuitive atmosphere for everyone in SL. He helped continue to grow SL into the powerhouse it is today. Rogue played a big part in pushing through education of materials to the Generals, Officers, and 7’s Staff to keep everyone informed and prepared for anything they may have to do or come across. He always made time for the members and was the Voice of Reason during the peace talks in with Hydra in SL, getting all the members input on the situation. That tradition has become a stable in SL, having the leaders utilize Discord for a town hall type of meeting. Category: Co-Founder Gamertag: KSI DC 7 Link to Forums Account: @KSI DC 7 Reasoning: DC has had one hell of a year. He started off his journey in SL. His impact in SL was widely known. He was there for all of the members, he was actively helping the squads he was over with recruiting, all around helping push them towards the right direction. He was also instrumental in officer training and ensuring that any officer moving up the ranks was prepared and trained to the fullest extent. He took his experience and tools in SL to WD when they needed help. Since his arrival in WD, he has been actively pushing towards the improvement of the division. He is one of the key leaders in the community. Keep grinding man. Category: General Gamertag: KSI HARLEY 7 Link to Forums Account: @KSI Harleygirl Reasoning: Mama Harley, what is there not to say about her? She is an amazing leader who centers herself on the idea that her squad and division is a family. That family aspect truly pushes the influence that not only her but everyone is here for anyone. She was a great leader in DW before the merge and going in WD gave her the strength to keep pushing forward and strive for greatness. She is one of the sole reasons WD is still around today. I feel that as a General, she excelled the best. She was always on top on her of her duties, always readily available for anyone no matter the circumstance. Category: Captain Gamertag: KSI BLITZ11 Link to Forums Account: @KSI Blitz11 Reasoning: I feel Blitz excelled the most in my eyes at the Captain rank this year. He was a Captain in Elysium DW before the merge and then Elysium SL. When he was a captain, he was instrumental in making the gamenight schedule every week and hosting workshops throughout the week for members that needed it. He was actively teaching lower ranking members how to recruit and sat in on a plethora of recruitments to make sure it was done correctly. He used his personality to his advantage when it came to inactive members, approaching them, messaging them, trying to get them back involved and informed. He was my right hand man in Elysium, when I was his General and then his Co-Founder. Category: Lieutenant Gamertag: KSI MrsBlitz Link to Forums Account: @KSI MRSBLITZ Reasoning: I feel MrsBlitz here did an amazing job at LT throughout the year. In this position, she was the master at Member Retention. She constantly was reaching out to members and getting gamenights and squad activities popping. She was also there to help put the other officers with recruiting and training. Category: Forums Staff Gamertag: KSI VENUM 7 Link to Forums Account: @VENUM 7 Reasoning: Chad 2 Bad aka Venum truly embodies the way of the Toxic Mod. He actively is watching the forums for any stuff that may go down, he sits in on every interview for new hires and is always available to help out when and where needed. He played in big part in revamping the Rejoin/Join area and building its staff with suitable Join Mods. If he swings the Ban Hammer, know it was for a reason. Category: Department Member Gamertag: Loyalty Paradox Link to Forums Account: @Loyalty Paradox Reasoning: I feel Killer aka Loyalty Paradox has done his best work in my eyes as a Department member, specifically in the AAP Department. Upon his arrival in the department, he was actively trying to learn more and do the best work he could. He asked me countless questions and used that to further his knowledge of the department. He was always clean with his work and never had any issues. When he was promoted to Senior Staff, he used the position to help the department and others. Anytime a question popped up in our chat, there he was answering it or providing input. I’m excited to see what his next move in AAP is, thank you for your hard work. Category: Member Gamertag: KSI xSpartan Link to Forums Account: @SPARTAN MAN1911 Reasoning: Spartan is the GOAT of all members in my eyes. He is the nicest person in the world and is always down to talk with you or play a game with you. Sit in a party with him for 5 minutes, I guarantee he’ll be on your Top 10 Best Friend’s list in KSI. He’s one of those members, when you look at a squad, who constantly brings a fun attitude and life to the squad and party. Spartan is one of my favorite people in the community, keep doing your thing and providing a positive influence.
