Venum has been through a lot in his life and in KSI. Since the award is about hardships with in KSI, then I think Venum is a perfect candidate for this award. Venum is by far a loyal member to KSI, and not many people can say the same. A lot of people would quit if they were in Venum's shoes. Venum has been in all aspects of the community facing hardships in each one. Venum has dealt with harassments on the forums after people's accounts have been banned from the forums. He has dealt with insults after insults from his work in AAP when having to point out people don't qualify for awards. He took a lot of flak when he was the department head of PO, and he had to watch as it closed down while he was the person in charge. That was not the only time he had to sit by and watch something he loved die. He had issues with a few people that would constantly go behind his back and be manipulative, which saw his division close down while he was a division leader as well. He was called a failed clan-ops leader by some co-founder and divisional leaders to his face because of this. Instead of lashing back or quitting, he kept persevering, which is what this award is all about in the end. When you earn rank the way Venum has there is a target on your back. He is a senior mod in web ops, a former AAP senior staff, former PO Department Head, a member of the LC, and a former Division Leader. He has been insulted multiple times and taken a lot of things on the chin in LC, clan ops, department ops, and web ops, yet he has not tucked his tail and ran. He has set a great example of what we need. He is more deserving than anyone I know and is a true die-hard in my opinion.
