Osams was formed by a group of friends from Jordbro, Stockholm. This group expanded when the core of members went to university in Norrkoping, and over time members from outside of this circle of friends joined up, such as [[Lakso]], the PL-ridden ice hockey noob and [[Lunna]], the Danish superstar who wowed the crowds on lunarstorm.se.

Osams was formed by a group of friends from Jordbro, Stockholm. The group played many different games, including Quakeworld, at LAN cafes, and was at one point a CS clan. "Osams" as a QW clan appears to have debuted in [[NQR]] season 3. Although originally a team made-up of friends who went to school or college together, the team opened its doors to other players as the years went by.
  
Osams were a hot favourite for the NQR6 Bronze Cup, but suffered a shock defeat in the quarter-finals to the eventual winners OLw. Without key players Lakso and Grekfan, Steppa, Thompen, Lunna and Whyz were unable to overcome their fellow Swedes and suffered an early exit. The team were again favourites for an NQR title in the next season, this time in division 3. However, they were beaten by Veni Vidi Vici in the semi-finals and had to wait a little longer for success.
+
The clan gradually improved in the middle of the 2000s, from being division 6 (of 7) in NQR5, to losing in the division 3 (of 5) playoffs in NQR7, and finally winning the NQR9 "Silver Cup" in a thriller final against [[Wunderbar]]. The team then enjoyed several seasons in division 2 of [[EQL]], before a shrinking roster and increasing inactivity saw several key players move on to bigger and better things. The clan played in every NQR and EQL season from NQR3 through to EQL6, and also played a rather inactive role in EQL8. The clan returned for EQL10, and after a difficult season in division 3 (of 4), finished 2nd in division 3 (of 3) in EQL11. EQL12 saw Osams finish rock bottom of division 2 (of 3). Even now the roster boasts two of the clan's founding members, twin brothers [[Steppa]] and [[Thompen]].
  
Osams finally won a title when they beat Wunderbar in the NQR9 Silver Cup final. They also won division 3 in the first season of EQL.
+
Osams has always been well-known for its friendly attitude and "for fun" attitude. The members are good friends away from QW and there truly ain't no party like an Osams party. Steppa, Thompen, Whyz and Manny even attended Gaz's wedding in the summer of 2010.
  
After some difficult seasons in EQL in division 2, the clan slowly slid down the divisions as its players became less active. The superstar line-up of Steppa, Thompen, Lunna, Lakso and TheEvilDog was separated and in EQL 10 and 11, only the first 2 of those players are active. They are joined by Gaz and Manny, who have been with the clan since before NQR7, and perennial #osams idler [[Pattah]].

Osams also ran a second team called [[Bosams]] in [[NQR Season 8]].

"Osams is not just a clan. It's a fucking family" Stefan "Steppa" Johansson

History

Osams was formed by a group of friends from Jordbro, Stockholm. The group played many different games, including Quakeworld, at LAN cafes, and was at one point a CS clan. "Osams" as a QW clan appears to have debuted in NQR season 3. Although originally a team made-up of friends who went to school or college together, the team opened its doors to other players as the years went by.

The clan gradually improved in the middle of the 2000s, from being division 6 (of 7) in NQR5, to losing in the division 3 (of 5) playoffs in NQR7, and finally winning the NQR9 "Silver Cup" in a thriller final against Wunderbar. The team then enjoyed several seasons in division 2 of EQL, before a shrinking roster and increasing inactivity saw several key players move on to bigger and better things. The clan played in every NQR and EQL season from NQR3 through to EQL6, and also played a rather inactive role in EQL8. The clan returned for EQL10, and after a difficult season in division 3 (of 4), finished 2nd in division 3 (of 3) in EQL11. EQL12 saw Osams finish rock bottom of division 2 (of 3). Even now the roster boasts two of the clan's founding members, twin brothers Steppa and Thompen.

Osams has always been well-known for its friendly attitude and "for fun" attitude. The members are good friends away from QW and there truly ain't no party like an Osams party. Steppa, Thompen, Whyz and Manny even attended Gaz's wedding in the summer of 2010.

Osams also ran a second team called Bosams in NQR Season 8.
