Diehard div1 clan formed from Euthanasia's Goljat and ParadokS. Famous for "SR Luck".

]SR[ History

After Smackdown Season 2 ended, which Euthanasia won by WO in the final, versus Flaming Fist, Flag fi.gif Goljat and Flag dk.gif ParadokS decided it was time for change. What the exact reason for this was is unknown but in the past there had been some incidents with the Euthanasia leader Hixen. The four main players of Euthanasia also formed the first Slackers team, the two founders together with vana and DARKL0RD, there was one addition in the form of brutal.

Before SD NEU Season 3 started DARKL0RD went inactive, probably army duties. BRUTAL decided to join dag and aKKe, because Flaming Fist also quit, in Orkney Clan. Slackers found a good fourth player in Flag se.gif Xalibur and with those four they went on to win SD3. After this season Flag se.gif Striker and Space were recruited from Da Imperial Executors, they won QHLAN 3 but Space left quickly after this when Lege Artis was founded. Shortly after Slackers was eliminated from SD4 by Clan MalFunction, Striker also joined Lege Artis.

Where Euthanasia's main rival was Flaming Fist the same happened when (some of) their old members formed Slackers and Lege Artis. There was a very intense rivalry between the two teams, they didn't play practice games for a number of years, if ever. Lege Artis, especially slime, made several pictures where Slackers members' were portrayed in insulting ways. Mostly Paradoks was a target of their slander.

This was the time where vana quit playing and for the new seasons, SD5 and NQR3, Gamer got added to the team. While they lost the semifinal of NQR3 to cMF with close figures, they did manage to win SD5 against their rivals Lege Artis, has to be noted that LA starplayer dag didn't play but the old members space and striker did.

At the start of 2003 Flag fi.gif Hib joined and here started a very successful era for Slackers winning NQR CMT2, NQR4, 5, 6. The finals were extremely close though, the fifth map in the NQR4 final was 2 frags difference, in NQR5 the fifth map 6 frags separated the teams. During this period they only lost QHLAN 6 because Hib was missing and Xamp played instead. The latter was an active member but wasn't part of the best lineup.

When competitions started again after the summer of 2004 only ParadokS returned as a stable factor in the team. Hib, Goljat and Xalibur (who didn't play since NQR4) played some games but weren't very active. ParadokS recruited oldschool player and friend Flag dk.gif CrazyMac and also two swedes coming from Divines, Xerial and Circle. NQR Season 7 was the last big QW season, after this World of Warcraft and the big Qw.nu crash left the scene a lot smaller than it was before. In this hard competition the new Slackers did a very good job and reached the finals after beating then rivals Lege Artis in the semi final. In the final we saw Hib make an appearance again but despite his efforts they couldn't stop cMF from taking the title. Shortly after they beat LA again in the semi final but lost the NQR ICC final to Firing Squad by 1 frag on the deciding map. In the final we saw Paradoks, Hib, Goljat and Xerial, only missing Gamer from the team that won so many competitions. After this loss in the two finals SR played a few games in the SD6 groups but didn't survive long enough for the playoffs.

A year long Slackers was nothing more than a memory. This changed when ParadokS joined Leftovers, a team that reached the semi final of EQL Season 2. The lineup of Leftovers was a reasonably new one and when they lost one of their key players, Cage, they were looking for a replacement which they found in the form a Paradoks. It didn't take long before they called themselves Slackers, which ensured the comeback of this team. The initial lineup was Paradoks with Flag nl.gif murdoc, Flag nl.gif dragon, Flag pl.gif insane, Flag se.gif krab, Flag se.gif seese, Flag se.gif goblin who all were in leftovers before ParadokS joined. For a numbers of years ParadokS, murdoc, dragon and insane played as the main team of Slackers and did very well in different competitions. Seese and Goblin turned out to be not very reliable players and it didn't take long before we didn't see them playing (for Slackers) anymore. Javve joined Slackers just before they quit playing and rejoined now the name was back. He was always very active for a limited period of time and then dissapeared just to return again. His last active period was in 2010, sometimes he didn't play for years.

The first competition the new Slackers team played was NQR Season 9 where they reached the finals but lost to cMF, after this they won EQL3, 4 and QHLAN 10. They played together with the same four players for a very long time in the most important games while krab was their usual fifth man.
