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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
