Second team founded by Slackers. At the moment team one and two are playing together.

History

The plan of creating a second team had been on the Slackers table for quite a long time. The initial idea was to gather active new players that would form a division five team. There was something like an application form and somewhat of a site made by Murdoc. It was well over a year later, maybe even two, when things started to roll again.

It was quickly decided that forming a division five team would need more time than they had, the plan changed to create a division two team with players that had potential to grow into division one. It didn't take too much time to get Cpe, Mja, TheEvilDog and Zero. It seemed wise to add a player from Slackers one to coach while being on the team itself and since the first team had enough members since Pascal joined Krab teamed up with Slackers 2.

EQL Season 5 was the first tournament that the team entered and it went fairly well. For different reasons during the season Åke Vader joined the ranks. After ending third in the regular season the team made the finals of division two which they lost with a slightly degraded lineup missing Åke Vader and Krab but it was a good game.

After the season summer kicked in and about a month before the regular season Martin joined Slackers. Åke Vader had left due to inactivity and there had been little to no pracs. At this stage a new idea came up, creating two even division one teams. The initial idea was to have ParadokS, Murdoc, Insane and Krab in one team and Martin, Pascal, Dragon and Zero in the other. After a few weeks and not too many pracs from both teams Martin and Pascal decided to revive Fragomatic.

After this event things turned back to the old situation of having SR1 and SR2. Since Slackers 2 got promoted to division one and were struggling a bit it was decided they needed some recruits. The first one to join was Purity, Dragon had been lobbying for ages to get him in Slackers itself but it never happened. Slackers 2 was less of a problem but even with the new player the team still wasn't ready for division one and after some serious talking skills by ParadokS the old Lege Artis player (just like Purity playing in Freedom the season before) Striker joined and the team was complete.

EQL Season 6 turned out to have two sides, at the start of the season everybody was active, Sassa was an admin and said the playoffs would be held on QHLan, then the site went down and nothing happened before the new year had started and someone else picked up the slack. Without a site playoffs were held, Slackers 2 had played maybe two maps in a few months time and Striker was nowhere to be found. Still they managed to win an e1m2 against the later winners The Viper Squad in the semifinal.

The season after activity wasn't high enough to keep two teams and both merged, zero and krab became regulars in the starting lineup.

A few years later Slackers decided to revive this project, ironicly Striker rejoined Slackers shortly before the Slackers II revival and also krab rejoined their team after being inactive for a while. The new team played their first games together in the EQL Pro qualifications, where they were unable to qualify. They entered EQL Season 13 and will be playing in division 1.
