Yearly summary
2005
With players losing interest in Teamfortress players from Chosen forms a QWDM sqaud and signs up for NQR 8 in the spring of 2005. Clan leader is Term and other active notable players are Votary, Ovderdose, Puh and Bambuz. CSN end up in division 5A where they consequently lose all 5 games they play and miss the playoffs.
During the summer Chosen pick up alot of new players including Hooraytio, Fisto, Kalma, DjRun, Naali, 187 and Ganon while losing Votary and Overdose. The reason for the heavy recruting is the upcoming EQL with its first ever season. During EQL 1 Chosen plays in division 4 and manages to reach 3rd place. EQL didnt have playoffs for the lower divisions during the first seasons but instead promotion and relegation games for the top/bottom clans of the different divisions. At third place in division 4 CSN just missed out to qualify for division 3 next season.
In the fall of 2005 and spring of 2006 Chosen also played a staggering 63 games in the NQR Winter Ladder 2. The results, Winning 23 out of 63 games, MW 64, ML 88, landed them a 3rd place in this practice tournament.
2006
2006 saw heavy action from CSN participating in 3 EQL seasons, NQR 9 and second half of the NQR Winter Ladder 2.
The first tournament was EQL 2 and compared to their lineup in EQL 1 Chosen added Kias and Roque while losing Ganon. Chosen was added to division 4A where they ended up in 4th place just short of the qualification games once again. During the season they relied heavily on Hooraytio, Kalma, 187 and Fisto with Roque and Term making a few appearances.
Next up was NQR 9 wich saw Chosen in group B of the Bronze tier. Compared to EQL 2 Chosen added Boney but didnt lose any important players. When the group stage was over Chosen was the top team in their group and reached the Bronze Premier Playoffs. The quarterfinal against Pimps ended with a 2-1 victory for CSN but in the semifinal Demolition Crew was too strong and sent CSN packing after a 3-2 result. That game was also one of many tight games between CSN and DC throughout the different seasons. There was no bronze game so CSN shared the 3rd place in the playoffs with UK clan MOR.
In the meantime EQL 3 was started and naturally CSN joined the ranks. This time they ended up in division 4B and theur lineup was similar to the oned used in NQR 9. In 5 games CSN only lost one, 0-2 against MOR, and ended up in second place in their group. EQL had now added playoffs and in the quarterfinals CSN faced off against A2K2. After some drama Racersnigeln was allowed to join A2K2 and helped them to a 2-1 victory kicking CSN out of the division 4 playoffs.
EQL 4 once again saw Chosen in division 4 but no groups this time so all division 4 clans ended up in one larger division. This was great for the overall activity and the clans in division 4 played an average of 7 games per clan out of 8 possible games. Czech player Flamer had previously expressed an interest to join CSN and when his chance came up he took it together with Greendog and formed one of the best lineups of early CSN history. Things went well and CSN once again ended up on top of their division and entered the division 4 playoffs in the semifinal against SD.P. The game was close but in the end CSN won 3-1 and were through to the final against MOR. MOR shocked CSN by winning the first map but after that CSN just steamrolled them to a 3-1 victory. First time CSN stood as champions of a division in EQL. During the season CSN played really well on CMT4, much thanks to Greendog who was somewhat of an expert on the map in question.
2007
During 2007 there were two main tournaments that CSN took part in, EQL 5 and NQR 10. Both tournaments took part in the first half of 2007 and by now players like Pyta, Donut and Eriko (mythic) had joined while Greendog left.
In EQL 5 CSN managed to end up in 3rd place in division 3 but the playoffs was a disappointment as CSN progressed on WO against Paranoia in the semifinal. The the final against Ballistic was never played so CSN and BST shared the EQL 5 division 3 victory. The core of the team had now shifted somewhat and the bulk of the games was played by Hooraytio, Kalma and Eriko while 187 didnt play any games at all. Pyta also had a good start in his first season with CSN and more and more became a part of the teams steady lineup.
NQR 10 was tough on CSN as they ended up in the Silver tier group A. Out of 7 games they only won 1 2-1 against CMT. Even though they played well on E1M2 in most of the games it wasnt enough to reach playoffs as they only managed 2 more map wins aside from the win against CMT. Hooraytio, Kalma, 187 and Term saw most of the action in NQR 10 with fisto and Flamer making a few appearances.
