I was contacted by the very energetic KSI Sirens clan about a month ago. They wanted their collective voice to be heard and sought me out for an interview. Soon I found myself in the midst of a very lively discourse about gaming that deserved to be told. The organization and consistency that these women and girls put into the website and the games is way above average. As an interviewer I have seen many clans falter and fail. Somehow the right mix of chemistry has gotten together with the Sirens making them a great clan. They attribute it to having great hardware... but I'll leave the Xbox vs Playstation argument alone for now to celebrate one of the world's leading women gaming teams.
KSI is the largest XBOX LIVE gaming league. KSI has 4000+ members. The group hails from all over including not only North America and Australia. KSI has both male and female members. The KSI Sirens are the female division of the league, who are hardcore gamers as well as being interested in creating "an overall friendship with people from around the globe."
Many of the members to host dedicated servers to use the chat room feature and strategies. These ladies are firm X-box fans and use every function and feature to the max. They believe that their success as gamers is based on hard work, dedication, a bit of trial and error, and most of all a lot of patience. I was most impressed with the dignity and the seriousness that they bring to the club.
Here's their motto:
"NO ONE IS LEFT BEHIND."
Geek Woman: What is KSI and what made you choose to join?
KSI Broken Angel: It's a huge online gaming community that not only involves Halo 2 but spans across all of Xbox live and beyond. When I first came across KSI it was in Halo 2 matchmaking and I thought it was just another clan. I'd heard of but never came across an all girl clan before and thought it sounded pretty cool. After being recruited I quickly came to see that it's so much more than that. It's a fun and friendly place and whether you just want to chat and hang out or play games there's something for everyone.
KSI Destiny: KSI to me is more than just a gaming organization as which maybe most members of KSI may put it as, but also in my own dedicated opinion, it's a strong family of gamers that support one another and fix each others mistakes, and learn from them. For me choosing KSI was because I wanted to start out fresh and new, giving KSI a chance to make a difference in my life. And yes it has been a great impact to how I am now, than how I was then.
KSI Queen: KSI is a huge gaming organization geared to recruiting people passionate about Halo and making friends among the Halo community. I joined KSI in early January because they gave me the opportunity to go to MLG New York. Since then I have come to know the leaders and members of KSI and have come to enjoy being part of this vast gaming community.
KSI Lady Zen: KSI is a gaming community where individuals that share the same passion for FPS games can play together. I joined KSI not only because of the opportunities I was given but to show people in the gaming community what serious gamers are all about.
