Most dominant clan ever.

[pinecone]

Well, since theres about amillion players through the years, off the top of everyones head, who do you think won more? CPL, LANS, CAL, everything.

Most dominant clan when i started playing was |101st-|, then turned into iLan, then |NUDE| took over, then hb- won a few seasons, then vE |' dominated somewhere in there then there were a number of mergers and sponsorships ( lol when dod clans got real sponsors, it happened kids, i was there & never got anything but free servers) Sooo then everything gets blurry.

Mine would be of course coL. because they won at the peak of the game and had the best players (pretty sure they were winning in counter strike at the same time as well and if i remember the cs team had like a whole house to just sit around in the dark and practice in,)

This was when the CAL invite finals would draw 700-800 spectators and had commentary thru DOD radio.....

and at the fall of coL came gamewyze i think. Everything after that can shove it and the whole dod is dead thing started happening, like back in 07....SOoooo...

This is alot better then best players, also. SO LETS HEAR IT FELLAS. 1911.org editor in chief OUT. ktp.

As far as online goes in North America (in chronological order):

Beta 1.3b
sac| (2000-2001) - Absolutely destroyed the early betas (the entire first year of DoD). No one could touch them, not even RBC/QOR/101st.

101st (2001) - Took the top spot after SAC left the game. But was really still an "old-school" style clan. They rallied later on and made a strong push toward the end of the betas.


Beta 2.0b
NUDE (2002) - Won the first season of invite, and really changed the way teams played. One of the first teams to keep a small roster and totally ditch the pub clan style.

63rd/Cosa/iLan/hb/others (2002-2003) - All these teams put a ton of pressure on NUDE/101st/Nt, but imo never made as much of an impact on the game.


Beta 3.1b
Nt and 10st (2002-2004) - Still the best rivalry in DoD history. Nothing beats the 2003 STA-I finals match between these two.

ve|` (2002-2004) - ve dominated the last 2-3 seasons in beta. A small, close-knit roster, and really technical/disciplined play. There were a lot of other good teams, but ve really stepped up leading into retail.


Retail:
Shockwave (2004) - LOL/Shockwave came on the scene strong and dominated the first bit of post-retail DoD. But shit gets crazy from here on out.

Gamewyze/Checksix (2004-2005) - won 3 out of the next 5 seasons, only losing a close one to mTs, and getting out proned by Trademark. The only team other than coL to win invite on 3 occasions.

Complexity/L8L8L8 (2005-2007) - totally dominated the later seasons of DoD. Not really that hard when you build super teams like they did.

There were a lot of other really good teams, especially as the game grew and peaked post-retail, but those were the ones that actually won or competed for championships on a consistent basis.

When I first started playing, 101st/NUDE were top dogs. I believe this was back when that idiot Bliksta played and just camped everywhere with the mp44; however, this was a different era of the game where gameplay I believe did not relate to the way it was played when coL was dominating the game. If I had to pick one team who absolutely killed it, I would say coL.

I know they werent THAT good but Im gonna put 22e here, the first one with prowack. Best team ever of only french canadian mofos like me. . The later version was not that good but the first one was decent. Its not in the best ever for sure though .

If they weren't the best ever and you know it, why would you put it for a list of most dominant clans ever?
