Revision as of 10:49, 7 June 2011
One of the clans that has been playing 4on4 on a top European level for years. Made a comeback after Reppie and Razor finished second in EQL Season 14 with Suddendeath. They are joined by old members Blixem and Keyser. Blixem quit for a long time and has played two games for FS since NQR Season 7 in 2004 and hasn't shown much activity with other teams.
History
Founded back in 1995, and still active today, Firing Squad has really known two fases of activity. During the first, spanning from 1995 to about 1999-2000, [fs] was mainly active on Dutch servers and lanparty's. With members such as smo0k, krazy, Lithium, cr3am, dillic, and eriq they belonged to the top in Holland in those days. This team became inactive around 1999, mainly due to the switch to Quake3 by a lot of the players.
Then after some inactivity Firing Squad reappeared in 2000's Villains with players such as Blixem, Amen, Eriq and Janus. Shortly after, in the Smackdown times, most active members were Blixem, Gemini, ploppie and crit, in the third season Reppie joined and the fourth Razor. The last two would play for Firing Squad for a very long time. Over the years this team has seen a lot of changes, most notably a change from being an all-Dutch clan to a all-European clan, but has always managed to compete with the top 4-5 clans in Europe. The lack of leagues and cups Firing Squad has won can be blamed on Slackers. With only one exception (the NQR Invitational Classic Cup), Slackers have always managed to knock Firing Squad out in the playoffs.
As mentioned before Reppie and Razor were two players that stayed with the team from 2002 untill 2008 and revived the team in 2011. Other long time members were Blixem who was active between 2000 and 2004 (Villains 2-NQR7) also in the comeback and Spoink who played from 2004-2008 (NQR6-EQL6). Among players that only stayed for a season or two were Blitz, Shiva, Striker, Riker, Miser, Elec, Drejfus and Sphere.
After Blixem went inactive in 2004 untill disbanding in 2008 the core members Razor and Reppie were joined by a less active Spoink. He stayed with the team but often had internet problems and he moved during playoffs of competitions so he wasn't as often around as he used to be. During those years 1-2-3 played a lot for team. Other players in the team were Keyser and the old player from Smackdown times, Gemini, made a comeback.
In 2011 the team came back with Razor, Reppie, Blixem and Keyser.
