Enemy Down - Clan Details -{KEA}

Date Joined: Feb 16th 2002

Two days and six years ago KEA joined ed, that makes it an anniversary of sorts, so happy fucking birthday KEA you bunch of wankers! :D

Hopefully there's six more years left in there somewhere, assuming throd doesnt explode from stress, assuming trem doesnt staple bacon to his face(again), and assuming dys doesnt accidently murder us all with a spear :D

KEA was formed in 1998 as an American Quake 2 clan. The mod of Q2 that was played was / is called xatrix, its basically the first expansion pack. Because of a lack of servers, a lot of the American Q2 players used a UK server, upon which me and Mider played.

Eventually we joined then clan, and were surprised by the fact that once you joined there was no competitive aspect to it at all, other than running on the old CLQ global ratings, which was basically a load of bollocks.

A while later Throdgrain joined the Savage Q2 league, and there he,Mider and Fishy plus various others, received some hearty beatings that taught us a few things about serious play.

Things moved on, and the UK players migrated to playing CS about the time of version 1.0 or 1.1. Before long we had joined Enemy Down ladder, plus a few other leagues here and there. From there Tremor joined, and we decided that really the USA side of things wasn’t really where we were going, so we started a completely separate , yet related, entity.

Trem joined KEA when its only CS members were throdgrain, Jis, Mider and fishy. Their first ever match was on Italy and they got boned, in fact they got boned in every match for quite a while. Trem persuaded a friend of his to join KEA (silentb00b) and b00b then got KEA a server which improved matters somewhat.

After b00b came Fudgemonkey, getting fudge in the clan was a massive surprise to Trem as he was about one of the best CS players in the UK at the time (60-2 scores were regular for him). Trem was worried fudge would leave for about 3 years then decided fudge quite liked us and would probably stay, he loves Trem most of all.

We did ok for a while, we were getting twatted quite often in PCW by A&I and CS-B. A&I folded and some of their members joined KEA, to name a few they were Weev (weev may of come from CS-B) Adz, Dolly, BennyBoy, Lily, Rana(Isuck), and a few others we can't remember. When those guys joined it changed everything, we entered and won our Barrysworld division with ease and to this day that team still gives Trem wood. Soon after that some Scottish chums joined, Leggy and Bozz were mega important to KEA as they were skilled players and had passion (in Leggy’s case too much passion!!), they were both in turn made captains until one or the other got the rage and quit, only to rejoin days later when the tartan anger had faded a little. Trem still classes them very close friends whether they play or not.


That kind of takes us up to the team we have. Dysfunction, Calaen and Beaver joined somewhere in the middle of 2005 and have been great additions to the clan.

Our latest additions are Macey and J5 and surprisingly they have stayed on!

I still hold the record for most strops/walk-outs, I am slightly ahead of Leggy and so far we have only had 1 from throd.

Its been great and I have made some really good friends, whoever says online gaming is for losers needs their head looking at/stamping on.

You've got your A&I and CS-B players all mixed up. Although a few of them did play for both, and quite often at the same time. A few also played for CS-B and KEA at the same time. Damn clan whores eh?

It shows what a close knit community we had on BW at the time that so many players were in the same clans.

God I loved those days, Adz was and still is the best player I have ever seen, imo better than Jobbie.

I miss those days, I miss our weekly bumming at the hands of CS-B :(

Quake 2 lol. Noobs. :p

I'm sure throd will correct me on this but I think KEA were one of the worlds top clans at one of the Q2 mods, there was a table and we were often top....I may be wrong though.

And how many people played this particular mod eh? :p

Adz was scary. Although Jobbie wasn't the pinnacle. Many other members of 4k who were scary, and lets not forget members of SG.

Weev and Utini are probably the most consistent players I have seen, the never seem to have an off day and can just turn up after not playing for ages and dish out ownage.

It wasnt a mod, it was a expansion :eek:

And we were pretty good at it too, so ner :p

Amazingly our U.S cousins STILL play Quake 2 all the time, though not in matches.

I dont know why to be honest, but good luck to em anyway :)

Yeah zer0kill was an absolute whore at CS. 6k were great tbh, but got accused of dodgyness left right and center.

I did forget about him, and now I think of it, he was probably the best player I have ever played with.
