Category: Director Gamertag: KSI xKing 77 Forums Account Link / @: @Mr. King 77 Reasons they deserve this award: Keeping it short and sweet for this one. No matter what Division you put king over its almost insured that he well cement roots for himself all the while creating, building, and nurturing relationships and bonds with its leaders and members. As I recently re-joined the clan ops sphere of things taking membership in WD, I can state from first hand experience that Kings presence and insight can be felt in every aspect of the division. From game nights and squad meetings to workshops and leadership development training - he is always a constant force pushing the division towards change and rebirth into what they aspire to be rather than maintaining a status quo of what was set before them. He has been a consistent in a long line of disrupted relations between director and division to WD and has made several hard calls that have ultimately been passed off on him while he was brand new position. His mindset, skill set, and overall commitment to making whatever division hes currently positioned over I think is a direct representation of the type of commitment a leader at that level should have. His natural toxicity levels being excluded of course...lol. Category: Division Leader Gamertag: KSI VENUM 7 Forums Account Link / @: @VENUM 7 Reasons they deserve this award: In trying to start this nomination all professional like and well worded, I realized that there's no need for that here lol. I have just straight up never had a bad experience when Venum is around or when I've had the privilege of working with him in both clan-ops and department-ops. In relation to this award however, I think the thing that differentiates Venum from the other excellent leaders in his rank is his mindset and the optimistic way his mind adapts to the problems his division encounters. Of all the leaders Ive sat in parties with discussing Divisional problems, road blocks, and set backs, I can easily say that Venum is the most calm cool and collected out of the bunch. the way hes able to instantly separate issues into what he can and cant fix, his ability to prioritize what issues need to be tackled first, and most importantly his demeanor when doing so is collectively - nothing short of veteran. Hes taken his share of losses when it comes to taking one step forward and 2 steps back, but that head of his is always raised high and looking forward. A very underrated and appreciated skill in my opinion. Category: Founder Gamertag: KSI Swag 77 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Swag 7 Reasons they deserve this award: I literally laughed out loud when writing this nomination and thinking about swag because that's how goofy and energetic this man is which, in turn, is nothing short of contagious to those around him. There are two main reasons I think this man deserves Founder of the year so ill hop right in. The first would be that the phrase "roll with the punches" and "when life knocks you down, get back up" don't have S*** on this dude and I mean that with all sincerity. Swags most recent KSI Career has been stuffed full of L's and what seemed like - hopeless situations. Yet despite everything going to hell in a hand basket around him, Swag didn't even consider backing down. He soldiered up and kept it moving as does any leader, and inspired those around him to do the same. Moving forward to the present, Swag has finally found a stable home in SL where hes been able to show his true color and strengths without having to worry the ground beneath him is gonna collapse and its been incredible to watch. Secondly, Swag is a large proponent and and source of positive and good energy. Sadly enough that is sorely lacking in the gaming world and can get washed out in the busy parts of being a 7 but he has always kept that strong. Constantly spreading happiness in parties and sending out messages to remind people to stay positive and keep their heads up no matter what. Its truly great to see...although I did block him so he'd stop adding me to that s*** in the middle of my Apex matches lmao. Category: Co-Founder Gamertag: KSI MeShell 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI MeShell 7 Reasons they deserve this award: I have to do it to em. Shout out Shell ummm RIP CD, Roblox or die. Real talk though, If you know Shell you know why shes an excellent candidate for this award. Instead of writing about her story and accomplishments, I will say this: KSI MeShell 7 is easily one of the most giving, selfless, and involved 7s Ive met. No matter how shes doing, how she feels, or her needs, she always puts her members or her staff above herself. Making sure shes there when shes not only needed but just wanted, going the extra mile to do what everyone else leaves behind or incomplete. I mean she did my BoD job for 2 weeks until i got my act together (thanks for the notes shell told you I'd remember that lol). Beyond this her presence is always felt in the party regardless of its nature. If its a fun hang out, Shell is adding priceless commentary and the main attraction for some of the fun that goes down. If its a serious conversation, she always has deep and well though out insight to contribute. Long story short, she the bomb and I hope she wins this award because she deserves it as someone who constantly is under appreciated. Category: Department Head Gamertag: KSI Dropshot 7 Forums Account Link / @: @Mr. DropShot Reasons they deserve this award: Although he done got Division Leader and Department Head and thinks hes to cool to hang out with his Dad now, I have to nominate Drop for Department head of the year. Leading up to and after attaining the position of "Head of T&E" Drop has been an incredible asset to the department and has already proven himself to be 100x more potent of a Department Head than myself. He constantly displays his organizational skills as the overall performance of T&E during annual events has increased exponentially. He is constantly applying new ideas and changes to help tweak his departments current events and systems to make them more applicable to both competitive and social players alike. Hes very in touch with the community as any great department head is and constantly references the members for decisions rather than making them unilaterally. I'm extremely excited to see what heights the department can reach under his leadership. Category: Forums Moderator (Admin) Gamertag: KSI RiiOT 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI RiiOT 7 Reasons they deserve this award: This ones easy, gotta nominate Best Friend (not biased I swear). Literally anyone whose competent with the forums and what they are know exactly who RiiOT is because hes legitimately everywhere. Regardless of his ridiculous work schedule and living in a country that runs on God's time, he has made it a point to be a constant force in web ops constantly running maintenance, upkeep, and improvements in order to give our members the best online experience possible. RiiOT's skills are highly undervalued as USA is a very thankless job but anyone with slight competence can tell he not only cares about his job, he excels at it. Some who know him would say as well as he excels at sending kids to the Shadow Realm. Point mad ethis mans the greatest so thank you RiiOT!

Director KSI Gruntier 7 @KSI Gruntier 7 The man is amazing. He's always there with whatever's needed, whether it's a joke to keep the party light & fun, or the occasional serious talk. Gruntier is a prime example of quality leadership in KSI. He's smart, calm, and level-headed, no matter what happens he never overreacts. Grunt even makes time to participate in the Education Department and shares his knowledge to all those lucky enough to meet him. He truly embodies what KSI Leadership should look like and is someone I look up to greatly. And lest we not forget, he won the August 2019: Director OTM! Division Leader KSIxROMEO 7 @KSIxROMEO 7 Romeo is the epitome of what leaders in KSI should strive to be. He is the lynchpin of DM and is instrumental in raising its next generation of leaders. He's constantly online with DM's 400+ members and is always imparting knowledge. Whether he's at work, home, or on the road, Romeo is always down to join a party and hang out. He's the kind of smart, savvy, no nonsense leader that KSI needs. Romeo has been a mentor to myself and many others throughout DM. Showing people his thought processes and helping others make difficult decisions. Romeo is constant in DM and epitome of excellence. Lastly, Romeo has also racked up a lot of incredible awards this year. Outstanding Service 1 & 2, Div Leader of the Month, Novice, Pro, and Master Recruiter, and he was also inducted into DM's Divisional Hall of Fame! General KSI WHISKEY 7 @KSI WHISKEY 7 Whiskey is the man! Full of fantastic ideas and the knowledge to implement them. Things like Wrath Reach Week have been a great success in DM. Where his squad, Wrath, does a Joint gamenight with each of the 5 other DM squads. Whiskey does a lot for his squad and DM as a whole. A go-to guy for my random ideas that I want to bounce off of someone, and always an absolute blast in parties. He's received a number of FANTASTIC nominations over the course of the year, but hasn't been lucky enough to earn an award for it. Despite coming dangerously close on numerous occasions. He's recruited like a mad man, over 60 people this year alone. He even created & implemented an entire training program for upcoming Staff Sergeants. Whiskey has been a spectacular General for a good portion of 2019, and it's time he get some recognition. Lieutenant KSI JAK KNIFE 7 @KSI JAK KNIFE 7 Jak is the heart and soul of Hellborn. He knows virtually every member, most better than myself. A true workhorse, Jak would host 7 gamenights a week if I let him. Jak has also been in KSI for 4 years, and his considerable knowledge has been spread throughout Hellborn's members and Officer Staff. He recruits like an absolute machine, is constantly sharing his knowledge and vast KSI experience, and he's always there online. I know that sounds like a small thing, but just by simply being online so much he's been able to reach out and meet so many members of Hellborn. He spent about 5 months as a LT in Hellborn before finally receiving his well-earned promotion Captain. He's continued his excellent work as a Captain and I know he'll make a phenomenal General in the future. SSGT KSI Zordon @KSI Zordon Well here's a guy who started his KSI career off with a bang! Earning Member OTM in his very first month with KSI, KSI Zordon was promoted to SSGT soon afterwards and hasn't stopped pushing. Zordon is constantly online and available for his members, even when at work he'll show up to Squad Meetings or Gamenights. He's grown a lot in his time with KSI. Jumping on top of every promotion & (quality) recruit he can get his hands on. KSI Zordon was the easily the best SSGT I saw all year and has been an even better Lieutenant. And I can't wait to see what his KSI Career holds in the future! Member KSIDntAskImAwfl @KSIdontask DontAsk, better known as Pam, has held a LOT of different ranks this year. From SGT to General and everything in between. She's a mentor to ALL of DM. She taught me just about every KSI thing I know. From how to host a gamenight or how do recruitung/promotions, even little things like reaching out to members and just caring for each and every person we meet. Regardless of rank or position. No matter who you are or where you're at Pam will make time to talk to you and help you out with anything, KSI or irl related. DontAsk is easily the single most positive person in ALL of KSI. Constantly upbeat and with a positive spin on things, Pam is always overflowing with love and compassion for DM & KSI. So much so that she was elected Spirit Week Queen for 2019! Also this year Pam earned Outstanding Service 1, and she was inducted into DM'S Divisional Hall of Fame! Department Head KSI Airborne 7 (AAP) @Airborne Since being given the reins to AAP, Airborne has totally revamped AAP and pumped new life into an old Department. From creating new awards to engage more members to training up the AAP Staff, he's a phenomenal job with the Awards and Achievements Program and it shows. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next with AAP!

Category: Senior Leader Gamertag: KSI Gambit 7 Forums Account Link / @: @KSI Gambit 7 Reasons they deserve this award: Gambit or The Great Gambino as some know him By was definitely a big help to DW this year. Always there for a POW WOW conversation or just to lend advice because this year we hadn’t had the best luck with Directors until recently so Gambit was my go to guy an boy let me tell you he helped the division out big time showed us a lot of things we were struggling in an how to fix them but all the help he provided DW as well as the other divisions is one of the things that got him to his fancy new position Chief Strategic Officer Category: Director Gamertag: KSI Gruntier 7 Forums Account Link: @KSI Gruntier 7 Reason: DW an directors haven’t had the best relationship since 2018 but Gruntier coming in has been a great thing for the division now I’m not gonna lie I had my reservations about him but after that first initial conversation we had it all went away he is always there to pop into a game night with the members help out the squads give advice to anyone who wants it has helped me build a team of 7 staff as well as guided me into making DW a better place so when you think of a director who has went above an beyond this year Grunt is the man. Category:Co-Founder Gamertag: KSI Jynxie 7 Forums Link: @KSI Jynxie 7 Reason: Jynxie one of the hardest working Co-Founders I’ve seen in a long time I got to see the work she does as a CoFounder through my time as the ES Performance Officer am boy let me tell ya she is a go getter in so many ways one way to describe her work ethic as a CoFounder is the first one to arrive at the building an the last one to leave some how she finds time to game with the members give tips an tricks on a variety of things there are many great cofounders in the community but Jynxie is in my opinion the best of the best Category: Captain Gamertag: KSI Majesty 7 Forums Link: @KSI Majesty Reason: Majesty is a new CoFounder but to me this year she shined as a Captain coming off of her 2018 Lieutenant of The Year Majesty became a Captain not to long after that an this is where Majesty stepped up her game to higher level we let Majesty run the squad a couple times for a week to see how’d she be at Gen an that girl came in there with a game plan an she got it done exceptionally an it’s that same drive that got her to where she is today sure she had a few road blocks along the way but it didn’t stop her from getting things done Category:Lieutenant Gamertag: KSI Starset 7 Forums Link: @KSI Starset 7 Reason: Starset returned this year an began to climb the ranks an has made it to Co-Founder currently but Lieutenant in my opinion is where he has shined. He transferred over to Elysium DW from Hannibal DW as a SGT but it wasn’t long before he got in the water with the sharks an started doing work assisting the General in making Elysium a better squad because at one point it was on the verge of closing down but we had to give it one more shot an Starset was the man for the job when you look at the Elysium Officer staff currently he mentored a lot of those officers as a LT just the last 6 months Elysium has had has a lot to do with Starset an his drive an hard work Category:SSGT Gamertag: Account Link: Reasoning: Catergory: SGT Gamertag: Account Link: Reasoning: Member: Gamertag: Account Link: Reasoning: Forums Staff: Gamertag: KSI xKing 77 Account Link: @Mr. King 77 Reasoning: When you look at a candidate for Forums Staff OTY a lot of people stick out but King is the one who sticks out the most From The Rejoin/Join Staff, To the GSM an Forums Mods King has a lot to do with these teams from training answering questions showing people the ropes he does it all as well as banning individuals who wish to cause us trouble an put the community at risk he is a man of many hats in Clan Ops an Web Ops but to me Web Ops is where he has shined this year. Department Member: Gamertag: KSI xKamikaze Account Link: @KSI xKamikaze Reasoning: With anything Kamikaze takes on he takes it on guns blazing giving it his all an much more. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him in clan ops in the past but AAP an eventually Rejoin/Join Team. An it was the Kam I remembered from clan ops making sure everything thing is done up to par is what I’ve known him to be like an he has exhibited that in the departments. So when you look at OTY Candidate for Department Member Kamikaze is definitely a 1st Round Pick in my eyes.

Category: Director GT: KSI Gruntier 7 Link: @KSI Gruntier 7 Reason: Grunt is always busy doing something KSI, but that does not stop him from helping members of every level. He will make himself available at the drop of the hat for any member that needs it. Grunt always takes time to listen and provides good, sound advice to help solve your problem, He listens without judging and hears with an open mind. He is truly what makes KSI great. I know I can always count on him when I need help. I truly consider him a friend even though i have never met him irl. When I came to him because I felt overwhelmed and felt like leaving, he talked to me like a friend and he kept it between us. I would trust him with anything at any time. He is the voice of reason in KSI. He is also able to even make meetings fun with his joking personality. That is a feat in itself. Grunt definitely deserves this award. Category: Division Leader GT: KSIxROMEO 7 Link: @KSIxROMEO 7 Reason: Romeo is another one that always makes himself available to KSI. He puts his heart and soul into this organization and always wants what is best for the members. He makes sure officers are always doing what is expected and also makes sure they understand why he is asking it of them. Not only that, but he practices what he preaches and is always gaming with members and in open parties, so others can join. I have seen many times where he will join parties from work to help out members with issues or just hang out and chat. He seeks member input when scheduling division wide game nights to make sure he is doing what the members want. I have spent many nights talking to Romeo about issues with members, but he never made me feel like I was bothering him. He just does what needs to be done to make this organization successful. Romeo goes above and beyond for the members and deserves to be recognized for it. Category: Co-Founder GT: KSI MeShell 7 link: @KSI MeShell 7 Reason: MeShell makes any party she attends fun. She is full of life and laughter. Not only is she Co-Fo, but she is also head of productions. She balances the two very well, and makes time for anyone that needs it. She is a ray of positivity no matter what is going on. MeShell was my co-fo when I was gen, and she was always there when I needed her. She answered any question, no matter how dumb, and was not afraid to ask for help when she did not know the answer. She is constantly gaming with the members, and doesn't let rank stop her from helping anyone that needs it. We orginally gave MeShell a hard time because we did not know her and had heard some false things about her, but she did not let this stop her from making sure we were doing things correctly and from helping us. This perseverance is why I chose her as Co-Fo of the year. She does what is best for the members, and her commitment to this organization is evident in everything she does. Category:General GT: KSI WHISKEY82 Link: @KSI WHISKEY82 Reason: Whiskey does not always get the recognition he deserves. He puts everything he has into making sure the members are happy and have the best gaming environment possible. He has a way of drawing people to him and making them want to be better people. He leads by example, and never gives up even when he gets discouraged. He has never won an OTM even though he deserved it more than anyone. He has been through three generals, and dealt with so much diversity and strife, yet continued to do what he knew was best even though it was not always the popular opinion. He fought for "his people" to make this community become one of the best there is. He makes himself available to his members at any and all time, and they come to his with deeply personal issues because they know they can trust in him and his constant commitment to always do the the right thing. Words do not do justice to what a good person he is and how much he deserves this award. He is a general that others should strive to be. It honestly hurts him to have to remove people from this community that he loves so much. He gives his all to it all each and every day. His officers consider him not only a leader, but a friend. As a Captain under me, he was always looking for ways to improve our officer staff and the squad as a whole for member retention. he came up with an agenda to run officer meetings, so we could make sure we were focusing on member happiness and doing what was best for them. He gives out praise in public and his criticism in private to build up hos officers. he constantly strives to be the best he can be. he has come a long way since he joined KSI and even mended relationships with people that he previously had his differences with. he isn't afraid to admit when he is wrong and make the appropriate corrections for the situation. I only hope to one day be half the person he is. Whiskey deserves recognition for the work he has done and the obstacles he has overcome in order to become this great leader. Category: Captain GT: KSI Drpepper Link: @KSI Dr.Pepper Reason: Peppers put all she has into her members and KSI. She isn't afraid to ask questions and is always looking for ways to better the squad. She is a master recruiter and puts more time into it than most people. She cares about the members and often spends hours talking to them about their concerns or problems. She was always the first one to volunteer for game nights or to host classes for members. She is definitely a force to be reckoned with when it comes to KSI. She makes all the game nights she can and constantly spends time in open parties gaming with members. People feel comfortable coming to her with their problems and she always makes herself available. She has even gotten members headsets before when theirs broke, so they could continue to be a part of this community. Category: LT GT: KSi Siren82 Link: @KSI Siren82 Reason: Siren is a genuinely kind and caring person. As a LT, under me she was always available when I needed help and always one of the first to sign up for game nights. She suffered an injury to her hand, but she did not let that stop her from doing what was best for the members. She still games when she could and joined parties to get to know the members. She does not see herself as a leader, but I see that she leads people with her positive personality and her commitment to the members. She went as far as to get a game for a member so she could be able to game with other members since the member could not afford it herself. She suffers from health problems, but you would never know it unless she told you. She pushes past all that to continue to make this community the best it can be. I loved having her as a LT, and I am proud to call her my friend. Category: SSGT GT: KSI Emslawson Link: @KSI Emslawson Reason: Emslawson has only recently become a SSGT, but he is one of the best. He is quick to sign up for game nights and is eager to get his training done, so he can be an asset to the officer staff. He is very good to communicate what is going on, and his parties are a blast. He does not get discouraged when he only has a few people at his game nights. He is a positive force in this community and I can't wait to see what he brings to the table in the future. Category: SGT GT: KSI TiMBERKiNG Link: @KSI TiMBERKiNG Reason: Timber is an outstanding member of KSI. He is always willing to help and recently served as an officer under me. He always asks questions when he doesnt know an answer, and offers to help when he can. He is not only a good member, but also a good friend. He recently bought me a copy of Modern Warfare since I couldnt afford it and he wanted us to be able to play together. He did this without asking for anything in return and didnt expect to get and recognition at all for it. Timber is a great member of KSI and definitely deserves to be recognized for all that he does. Category: CPL GT: KSI LiViNgLiFe Link: @KSI LiViNgLiFe Reason: LivingLife has come a long way since joining KSI. She used to be really shy and rarely talk in parties, but she has since opened up. She joined productions to help her overcome her shyness. She always joins game nights and is always gaming with members. She makes herself available for anyone that needs help, regardless of the difficulties she is facing in her life. Category: Member Gamertag: infinityhunt Link: @Infinityhunt Reason: Infinity embodies what KSI stands for. He is always willing to help members with quests and is patient when walking them through new things that dont understand. He always joins open parties and makes himself available to other members. Though he has issues of his own, you would never know it. He is a positive role model in this community. He is always a joy to game with and makes parties fun just by being there. Infinity is what other members should strive to be. He has been picked several times for our own sqauds members of the month because of all of this. He makes this community a great place and deserves to be recognized for it.
