Clan Unf!

Clan Unf! is a North American Quakeworld Clan in Clan Arena.

The Beginning

Unf was founded in the spring of 2001 by former members of clan alias. Alias at the time was one of the top east CA clans who had participated in several tourneys, most prominently in ASCA (All Star Clan Arena). In the first year of a new league called STA (Stronger than All), Alias had participated along with 20 other teams. Despite having a great lineup of players, clan alias lost its first 3 consecutive matches to mostly lower opposition in which StealthRS the leader of Clan Alias decided to disband all the team all together. After reasoning with StealthRS to not disband the whole clan, they decided it was best to form a new alliance with clan Mafia which consisted of Hexum,bronx,blakbeard, and Compton. With merger of the ex-members of Alias and clan Mafia they formed a mighty partnership. Initially the first scrimmages showed that the new clan was ready to compete with the best clans out there, however history would soon repeat itself. The first official clan match from Mafia, fielded a team of Bronx, Claw, Xullix (Zee), and Flow. While initially the team was winning, Bronx wanted to substitute Flow who was pinging bad, however he was doing quiet well and preferred to want to play blakbeard who had 13ping. Bronx had threatned Flow, that if he did not spectate the game and allow blakbeard to play, he would have flow out of the team, flow quit the match and quit the clan at that precise moment. The game continued and blakbeard who had 13ping turned out to be the weakest link and cost the game for the match. Outraged as to what had happened, Claw and Cruxradio quit clan mafia and along with Flow started a new team.

The Golden Era 2001 - 2003

When the clan was formed the three leaders decided to make unf a fun clan and promised that friendship before anything came first although at same time, the competitive nature of Quakeworld made it very difficult to keep that promise. When the clan started, they managed to play the remaining games of the first STA season and show everyone that unf was a serious contender and not to be a walk over by any means. The first unf lan also took place that year near Chicago, IL hosted by Amp. That year also Claw had competed in the CPL 4 Year Anniversary event in Dallas, TX which he placed 9th losing to cK-czm. When Season2 of the STA had started, clan unf had a very talented lineup which helped it place 3rd that season. UNF was one of the only few clans to beat what was the top CA clans at the time which consisted of Deliberetely Cruelty, Damage Inc, Who Cares, Deathstrikers.
