Div Cup Changes

Moving forward the Division Cup scoring will mostly keep with the changes made mid-2019. The results of all the major tournaments and events this year will determine the 2020 Division Cup Winner. There are still a few scoring changes to come. Stay tuned for announcements about them leading up to our inaugural Cupid’s Clash event in February.

✦

Div Cup Winner

Not to be confused with the Div OTY, the Div cup is the culmination of all the points accrued across the multitude of events within the KSI year. As Divisions enter and place in these events Div points are awarded then tallied to determine the Div OTY winner. Here is the victor of the 2019 Div Cup and the runners up. Congratulations!

  • First Place: Eternal Souls with 107 points
  • Second Place: Demonic Mayhem with 102 points
  • Third Place: Wicked Destruction with 87 points

✦

Div Of The Year

  • Winner: Demonic Mayhem

Division of the year is awarded to the most inspirational Division in KSI for the year. Exemplary and knowledgeable officer staff, approachable and proficient leadership, and active members that embody the KSI spirit of Knowledge, Strength and Integrity are all deciding factors for this honor.

Demonic Mayhem was a force to be reckoned with this past year. As a division, it grew in almost every aspect. Early 2019 saw the birth of the squad Sinister in March. This was followed later by the creation of Wrath in August. Growing in size and maintaining stability every step of the way, KSI’s largest division had almost 400 members by Christmas. Many of those same members also ventured out and made waves in other areas of the community, namely the News & Marketing, Productions, AAP and T&E Departments. Boasting the highest level of overall divisional activity on KSI’s social media platforms AND across the KSI Forums, Demonic Mayhem was a clear and decisive winner of the 2019 Division Of The Year. In other words, these people really did get down with the sickness. Congratulations on an awesome year.

KSI December 77, CDM

KSI Gruntier 7 and KSI xROMEO 7 have done a fantastic job shaping DM into the powerhouse that it is. I took a moment to ask the Div Leader what really makes DM so great.

“DM is great because everyone here works together and cares about one another. Everyone works so hard and goes the extra mile just so we are all having a good time. I’m so happy this is the division I get to call home.”

KSIxROMEO 7

Well said Bromeo! Congratulations to Demonic Mayhem and may you all continue to grow and meet new friends in the new year.
