Firing Squad

One of the clans that has been playing 4on4 on a top European level for years. Currently competing in EQL10 after last season when Reppie played with Druidz where his old teammate Razor joined him, Spoink competed with Dies Ater and Keyser made a short trip to Clan MalFunction.

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. Most active members in those times were Blixem, Gemini, ploppie and crit. 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.

Active members in the two years were Razor, Spoink, Reppie, the latest addition Keyser and the two old players who made a comeback Gemini and later Blixem played a few games.
