Sr Leader: KSI Swag 77 @KSI Swag 77 Mr. Pickles has been all over the community this year but his two biggest accomplishments are easily how well CS & ES are doing compared to when he first engaged with them. CS has grown to hover between 280-300 members since June/July and that's in no small part due to the groundwork Swag laid down and the policies that were implemented in CS. ES was way down on its luck when Swag first stepped in, a few months later ES completely turned around and won Fall Classic. Swag's ability to generate positive momentum in a Division is top tier & shows on every level of a Division when he works. As always, I'm looking forward to seeing what's next. Keep it up homie! Awards: Senior Leader OTM (x3) June 2021, April 2021, Jan 2021. Die Hard KSI Hall of Fame Division Creator 2021 Donor Director: KSI Slick 7 @KSI Slick 7 Slick has taught me a lot about how be able to step back and trust the leaders below you. It's shown in CS as I've watched those same leaders grow, mature, and evolve since we've started working together. Slick is a unseen but crucial part of how CS operates. His advice has always been helpful and worked out well. Now if only he'd expand his gametypes.. Awards: Director OTM Oct 2021 SL DHoF Division Leader OTM Jan 2021 Leadership Mentor Co-Founder: KSI Grogu 7 @KSI Grogu 7 Not many people can say they earned an OTM for the very first month as a certain rank, let alone as Co-Founder. KSI Grogu 7, aka Shatner, is one of the select few who can make that claim. He undoubtedly is a fundamental necessity for CS. As the Division Leader of CS, I'm 1 person and can only do so much. Shatner is my right hand in CS, we work like peanut butter & jelly to help the squads of CS to flourish and grow. In his time as a Co-Founder, I've come to count on him more and more. He's the type of go-to guy that I wish we could clone so every Division would benefit from his experience and KSI expertise. Shatner has been a critical part of guiding the leaders of Rebellion, Wrath, & Calamity to expand and grow in knowledge and leadership skills as they seek to improve their squads. As a General, Shatner built Wrath into the golden example of what a squad could & should be. A powerhouse of sustainable growth, high quality leadership, & active members that are kind & welcoming. Since he has become a Co-Founder Shatner has begun to implement those virtues & ideals across the Division. CS has benefited greatly from his hard work and dedication. Quite simply, the maximum impact one individual can make on a division is epitomized in the one and only, Shatner. Awards: Co-Founder OTM (x2) Jul 2021 & Oct 2021. CS DHoF Gen OTM Apr 2021 Gen DOTM May 2021 OS Level 1 Charity Gifter Helping Hand Novice Recruiter Trainer 2021 Donor General: KSI MercX @KSI MercX If anyone tells you Merc and his squad aren't the golden example of how to run a squad, they're flat out lying. MercX has taken Wrath to new heights since becoming its General. He's built his officer staff into the stuff KSI Leadership dreams about every night. Wrath has set the CS record for most recruits in a 7-day span at 15. Not as 1 or 2 officers, but as an entire team the officers & POs worked together to make that number happen. Since July 15th, Wrath has had an impressive 66 recruits. This is how Merc has been able to grow his squad and find new officers to fill his staff with. Merc's done a phenomenal job leading Wrath to sustainable, long-term greatness as a squad. Don't stop now big fella! Awards: Gen OTM Jul 2021 Gen DOTM (x2) Aug 2021, Nov 2021 OS Level 1 2021 Donor Novice Recruiter Pro Recruiter Helping Hand Captain: KSI Sleepy @Sleepy What a bum! For real though he is. But Sleepy is also a bum-bastic Captain! Backpacking his squad for months as his fellow officers struggled from time management or (at times) lackluster work ethic. Sleepy has kept Calamity above water and moving forward. He's got the beginnings of a great officer core and all that's left is to build that comradery and chemistry that can only come with time. Sleepy always leads his squad by example and has become a stat sheeter who is second-to-none. Let me break down the stats for y'all. Since joining KSI in March 2021, Sleepy has performed 73 promotions, 42 transfers (primarily from that squad split he was a crucial part of), 65 recruits, 184 total stat chat posts, nearly 50 security checks, trained over a dozen POs or officers and been Acting General for about 3 months, despite only being a Captain for almost 7 months. He's donated $100s of dollars to fellow members in multiple squads & across Divisional lines. Sleepy became a well known figure & leader throughout the community as he joined & flourished in multiple departments/areas of the community. Sleepy is a member of News, LC, Education, and Graphics on top of being a reckoning force in Clan Ops. His work ethic, time management, and thirst for knowledge is first rate. Every once in a while there are leaders who show the drive, intelligence, work ethic, and innate ability to make it all the way to the top. Only time will tell if Sleepy will, but you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who thinks he can't make it happen. Keep it up Mr. McSlapperton Awards: CPT OTM Jun 2021 CPT DOTM (x2) Aug 2021, Nov 2021 SSGT OTM Apr 2021 OS Level 1 Squad Builder Squad Splitter Monthly Member Spotlight Weekend Warfare Winner Helping Hand Good Samaritan Novice Recruiter Pro Recruiter Lieutenant: KSI StreakX @KSI StreakX This guy has been an ace from the onset. Groudon, as he more commonly known, has been on the forefront of training officers for his squad. Three of those people have made SSGT and another to Lieutenant, with two POs who are eager to do the same. All of them have been exceptionally trained and surprisingly knowledgeable about KSI overall & their specific duties as officers. His top tier training skills have been a critical key to helping his squad build out their officer core and continue their streak (hehe.. get it!?) of excellence. Awards: LT DOTM Nov 2021 LT OTM Oct 2021 SSGT DOTM Aug 2021 SGT: KSI Pastries 7 @KSI Pastries 7 "Listen here sonny!" said Grandpa Pastries. Despite being centuries old in KSI-years, everyone's favorite 4th SGT has been a fantastic member this year. He's helped old friends rejoin and make new homes in KSI. Pastries has helped host & cohost gamenights usually Halo or Golf w/ Friends and introduced fun new gamemodes to keep things fresh and exciting. He always helps to build the hype for annual events, participating in nearly every single event for the entire year! A CS party is never truly complete without Pastries there to liven the mood and make moth jokes (old people jokes ig..?) He's branched out and made friends with members across squad and divisional lines, introducing his squad to new ideas and ways of thinking. Pastries was also a welcomed addition to KSI's 10th anniversary podcast in September! A great friend and an phenomenal asset to KSI, Pastries is and forever shall be a KSI OG. Awards: Member OTM Oct 2021 Dedicated Devoted Weekend Warfare Winner Member: KSI T StackG @KSI T StackG The only person I know who can talk an endless amount of trash while getting crushed in a game, and only make sense for about 20% of it. Frankly we're fairly convinced Stack has invented a new version of English. Despite his occasional incoherent verbal diarrhea, Stack is one of the most beloved and cherished members of CS. A machine of an officer, it was a tough call where to put him for an OTY nomination. But easily a top flight member who's always down to game with anyone. He's organized Division-wide gamenights, been a great hype man for annual events, and been invaluable benefit to his squad. Stack has never truly sought power or higher ranks in KSI but is arguably more deserving of them than anyone else I know. This guy is a one man powerhouse of positivity, good vibes, & motivation that is unmatched throughout this community. If you have to pick a guy to build a squad from the ground up, Stack is your go-to guy. Awards: LT DOTM May 2021 Member DOTM Nov 2021 OS Level 1 2021 Donor Helping Hand Friendly Trainer Committed Dept Head: KSI Paradox 7 @Loyalty Paradox AAP has been a wild ride this year but through it all Paradox has always been helpful, polite, and positive despite any dubious circumstances thrown at him. As awarded countless awards and almost always in a timely fashion regardless of time zone or work schedule. While running AAP he's stepped up in his squad and hosted or cohosted several fun gamenights without being asked to. Paradox wanted to help his (at the time) struggling squad and did so. That level of dedication to all aspects of KSI can be difficult to find, but I'm glad to count Paradox as one of the few who still have it.

Senior Leader (Board Of Directors, Senior Directors): KSI DC 7 @KSI DCDC @KSI DC 77 Reason: DC is and has always been a wealth of knowledge within KSI as a whole and knows so much about so much! There isn't a department this guy doesn't know the workings about and he is here to share that knowledge with EVERYONE and the workshops that he and his staff put out are testinent to that! As a senior leader he is there for any member at any rank to assist with all types of issues to the point that he will stop RL activities to make sure the community has balance! I hope to have half of the work ethic this guy has one day. Director: Division Leader: KSI Uppish 7 @KSI Uppish 7 Uppish is what all Div Leads should aspire to be like. This guy know every member in his division and they know him on a personal level and the only way this can happen is if someone delicates the time and this is where what Uppish does is note worthy, he works 60+ hours a week but still spends so much time being there for members that I have heard PVTs and CPLs talk about him then when he jumps in the party like he does they have his fully undivided attention. He is pushing everyone to raise their own bar with the workshops and education classes that he has going out daily, he pushes for officers to better themselves and leaders to make KSI a great place to be. All members of his division have nothing but respect for what he does and how he does it. CS is better because of this guy right here. Co-Founder: General: Captain: Lieutenant: SSGT: SGT: CPL: Forums Staff (Mods, Senior Mods, Admins): KSI Venum 7 @The ChadMin Venum runs a tight ship with all he does and I have witnessed this first hand while I was under his guidance. He is always liaising with staff about practices and ways to streamline their process. He is a well of knowledge in all aspects of KSI and he is my go to guy if I have an issue and I know that with his resolve any problem I have is sorted. He has also raised a load of people to climb the ranks to mods and senior mods using his practices and nothing screams recognition like the legacy he is leaving behind him. Department Head: KSI Akame 7 @KSI Akame 7 What he does for the T&E department in unmeasurable and invaluable. He devotes time that he doesn't have and always has more time than that to any member who requires an ear. Like myself, being 5 hours a head of 99% of the community means that time after time we sacrifice sleep to do what is expected of us but we do it freely!

Category: Senior Leader Gamertag: KSI DC 77 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI DC 77 Reasons they deserve this award: DC deserves this award because he is a wonderful mentor. Ever since I met DC, he has been there for me no matter what. If I have a question about something I know I can always ask him. If I just need to vent about things whether it is KSI related or personal, I know I can just message DC and he will be there. Overall, he is a great leader and definitely represents what KSI is about. Category: Co-Founder Gamertag: KSI Gambit 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Gambit 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Gambit deserves this award because he goes above and beyond for his division. Gambit has been a great influence to me since I transferred to ES. He has taken me under his wing and showed me how I can improve as an officer. He is very hard-working and dedicated to doing his job in KSI. When I transferred to ES, I had a million questions and Gambit answered every single one of them. He never made me feel like I was a bother when I asked questions. Gambit is a great mentor and leader! Category: Lieutenant Gamertag: KSIEZCHOCLAT Forums Account Link / @: @KSIEZCHOCLAT Reasons they deserve this award: EZ deserves this award because he is very hardworking and is always willing to learn. He is always asking questions and is always willing to step up when we needed him to. He has definitely grown into an amazing officer and I cannot wait to see what he achieves! Category: SSGT Gamertag: KSIHorseride Forums Account Link / @: @KSIHorseride Reasons they deserve this award: Horseride deserves this award because even before I joined Angels, you could tell that she was hardworking and cared about her squad. Now that I am in Angels, I get to see how she really works on a daily basis and she is great. She is always in parties with members and she is always jumping in parties and checking on our members. She is also always recruiting and doing promotions. Overall, she is an amazing officer and has a bright future ahead of her.

Category: Senior Leader Gamertag: KSI DC 77 Forums Link: @KSI DC 77 Reasons why they deserve this award: DC was instrumental in helping Wrath adjust to the transfer to CS, making sure every officer and PO were properly trained to the way that CS operates, and up to the standards expected across all of CS. He helped grow Doom to the point of a split, recruited like an absolute madman, and earned himself several awards in the process such as: Squad Splitter, Squad Builder, as well as a nomination into the CS Hall of Fame. And that's just what he accomplished on a squad level this year. He and his team created some amazing new CEP workshops that have certainly helped the community for the better, and the Officer Academy has pushed successful training into the stratosphere community wide. Without DC, we wouldn't have quality leaders coming through the ranks today, or powerhouse recruiters like Sleepy, MercX and a plethora of others throughout KSI making their marks on the community. Awards: CS DHoF Bright Idea Squad Builder KSI Hall of Fame Triple Threat Die Hard Senior Leader of the Month Department Hall of Fame Category: Director Gamertag: KSI Slick 7 Forums Link: @KSI Slick 7 Reasons why the deserve this award: Since coming to oversee CS, Slick really hit the ground running with us. I can personally attest that the 7s meetings I've been involved in with him are extremely informative, and he takes the time to listen to any concerns or issues we may face. Even with as busy as his schedule can be, he takes the time to pop in and at least say hi, and asks if there's anything we need from him. If time allows, he'll hop into the Gens meeting, and he'll even make room for a game night if he's not dog tired from a long day at work. That speaks volumes to me, because even at his level, he's willing to get around to the people that make up the majority of this community. He's always the first to tell you that without the members, everything else goes out the window and doesn't matter. Awards: Director of the Month Divisional Hall of Fame Division Leader of the Month Leadership Mentor Category: Division Leader Gamertag: KSI Uppish 7 Forums Link: @KSI Uppish 7 Reasons why they deserve this award: Uppish really came into 2021 with both arms swinging, ready to take on any and every challenge thrown his way. I've learned a lot from him regarding how to be a General transitioning to Co-Founder, and how to treat this role in order to continue being successful. You won't find a Div Lead that can truly say they know the vast majority of their members. Uppish can, because he makes the effort to get out in front of those who matter the most...the members. I've worked with him as a GEN in DM, under his guidance when he moved to CS as a Co-Founder, and now working with him as part of the 7s staff in CS with him leading the charge as Div Lead. Everything runs pretty seamlessly in CS, because we're able to work together, work with our officer staffs, and continue to ensure that the leaders coming up the ranks have the proper training and guidance to continue growing this community in a healthy direction. Awards: Division Leader of the Month x2 Co-Founder of the Month x2 Divisonal Hall of Fame x2 (DM and CS) Silver Outstanding Service (OS LVL 2) Category: General Gamertag: KSI MercX Forums Link: @KSI MercX Reasons why they deserve this award: Merc took what built together with Wrath, and really pushed it to new heights once I moved up to Co-Founder, and he took the helm as General. His squad continues to be a truly amazing example of how a squad should look and operate. He knows his people in and out, and runs the squad along with his officer staff with surgical precision. He can smell an issue from a mile away, and addresses it before it ever has time to fester or grow into a larger problem. His attention to detail is second to none, and I can think of no other person that deserves this award more than him. Awards: General of the Month General of the Month: Divisional x2 Pro Recruiter Novice Recruiter Outstanding Service LVL 1 Category: Captain Gamertag: KSI Sleepy Forums Link: @Sleepy Reasons why the deserve this award: Sleepy came out of the gate ready to learn anything and everything he possibly could, and continues to do so even now. Several times, Sleepy has found himself as Acting General of his squad, and he's risen to the occasion every single time. His recruiting abilities are otherworldly, but it makes sense given once of his mentors, DC. But that ability doesn't even begin to describe how seasoned and well versed Sleepy is in everything he finds himself involved with in KSI. Clan Ops, News, Education, Leadership Council, Graphics...he has the Midas touch! You would be hard pressed to find anyone throughout the entire community that hasn't heard his name at least once. People flock to him, and it's very easy to see why if you get the opportunity to spend some time around him. He has the hearts and minds of his squad, and I have no doubt he'll continue to do so throughout his journey in KSI. To name just a few of his accomplishments: Completed nearly all Security Checks for his squad on his own, completed nearly every single transfer to Calamity from Doom when Doom closed down, routinely brings in several recruits per week, routinely has 20+ member game nights, knocks out every promotion he can to ensure they don't go past due, and still finds time to train those around him. Now for the awards: Capped Out Approachable Pro Recruiter Captain of the Month: Divisional Philanthropist Squad Builder Outstanding Service Novice Recruiter Captain of the Month Squad Splitter Trainer Category: Member Gamertag: KSI T StackG Forums Link: @KSI T StackG Reasons why they deserve this award: It's hard to think of OTY nominations without mentioning Stack. We started this year off in a bit of a rough patch with the closure of DM, but things turned around when we moved to CS. Stack came back through the ranks with a new drive and desire to be the best member and leader he possibly could. His actions this year prove that. Stack is one of the driving forces behind the success of Wrath, and he serves as a one-two punch with Merc to make things happen. His attention to detail and dedication to his duties are a big part of what makes them as successful as they are. This man makes it his mission to get to know every single person in his squad, as well as others. You'll always find him making his rounds through parties to introduce himself, or having a fun game or two if he's able. You can glance at our Discord chat at any given time, and Stack will always be one of the prominent names you see conversing with everyone.
