12 Days Of KSI: 2023
As KSI moves into 2024, we can reflect on the great things everyone has overcome and achieved. To celebrate 2023, KSI Sevenaro has brought back the 12 Days of KSI! I hope everyone enjoys it!!
Here is your 12 Days of KSI 2023!
What does it mean to be a KSI member and what is your favorite memory/part of KSI?
On the first day of Christmas, KSI Katana 7 said to me:
Being a KSI Member means being a part of a family, one that is passionate about gaming and supporting one another. The community gives a sense of belonging to members and an opportunity to meet like-minded gamers. My favorite part about KSI is the strong sense of camaraderie and friendship that have built over the years. One of my favorite memories was at my first game night when I joined, it was a capture-the-flag match. This game night was a blast and had many great memories of fun times!

On the second day of Christmas, KSI Anatomy 7 said to me:
Being a member of KSI means the world to me, it means I can get online and always feel welcome, it means I can explore new interests, and it means I always have a place to call my home away from home. It’s honestly such a cool feeling to be in this community! My favorite memory is honestly pretty recent being hosting my 3rd Hall of Fame selection event! I hosted the “KSI Days” event back in 2014 then came back to host in 2020 which completely blew our 2014 event out of the water with our advancements in our media departments. Coming into the 2023 selection I knew I had to out-perform yet again so I went all out with a huge branded campaign, live streamed with my boy KSI Bubba 7, and got to be a part of making KSI History inducting Reaper, Frosty, and one of my personal best KSI partners in crime back from the 2014 HoF event, KSI BlazZze 7. It made it feel like everything came full circle in my career but I’m for sure going to outdo myself again in 2024!!

On the third day of Christmas, KSI Rewster 7 said to me:
Being a KSI member is making lifelong friendships and memories while doing one of my favorite hobbies, gaming. As a leader, I strive to give the members an even better experience than I had growing up in this clan since I was 12 years old. My favorite memory has to be when KSI LAZAR 7 (rest in peace) lied about naming his pet snake after me (my old Gamertag, Qehz). It turned out he never even owned the snake. He named his favorite snake at the local zoo instead and took a picture with it.

On the fourth day of Christmas, KSI xKing 7 said to me:
To be a member of KSI means to be a member of a family and have a place to feel safe and call home. I have a favorite from .org and .com My .org favorite memory in KSI was rebuilding DR from the brink of death to one of the first divisions to split in years with the most amazing 7 staff, generals, officers, and members. My favorite .com memory is creating Paradox and going on the best run with one of the quickest and most successful squad splits in a very long time.

On the fifth day of Christmas, KSI M3diik 7 said to me:
To be a KSI member is a blessing. I get to meet many new people who are all hard-working and dedicated individuals. KSI was always a sanctuary for gamers who just want to escape reality and have fun in an environment where they feel safe to be themselves. As a staff member, I also believe in always putting the members first. Members are all that matter and without them, KSI is nothing.
I have 2 favorite KSI memories. 1st would have to be back in 2017 when I met the woman who would eventually become my wife and the mother of my brand new son. That woman is @Asteria (P-OFC) and without her, I would not be as successful and happy. She is my everything and so is our son. My next would be back in 2009 when I met @KSI REAPER 7DS (D-SL). Reaper took a liking to me right away. I was an LT and he was a director. He trained me and taught me everything I know today. My favorite memory has to be how he trained me. He would make me crouch-walk around Halo 3 maps as he asked me questions about situations and policy. If I messed up just once, he headshot me with the sniper and we had to start from the beginning of the lap and question #1. He was a fierce trainer but I wasn’t going to quit. I wanted to be just as good as him one day and hopefully, I have lived up to his expectations and made him proud.

On the sixth day of Christmas, KSI Fluffy 7 said to me:
So to me being a member of KSI is being part of something amazing. When I first joined KSI back in 2018 I had just left my ex-wife and I was not in the right space. KSI helped me through that and it made me stronger. Now I just want to be there for the members because of the wonderful experience I had climbing up the ranks. So being a member is so crucial in KSI and without the members we would be the bulk of KSI. My favorite memory was back when I was div leader over FA. It was amazing to see all the hard work everyone puts in daily in the community, as well as seeing people happy with KSI was an amazing feeling.

On the seventh day of Christmas, KSI Maverick said to me:
To be a KSI member, you have to follow the rules and the code of conduct. Have fun playing games and meeting new people but also be professional. Also, The best part of being a KSI member is that I’ve learned to do things as a leader and still learning to become better as an officer. My favorite memory is when I got to play with my new friends from KSI. My favorite part of KSI is getting to meet new people and learn.

On the eighth day of Christmas, KSI Icespot 7 said to me:
To me, being a KSI member is all about the experiences you’re exposed to. The people you get to meet, the stories you hear, and the memories you make. I’ve met many of my closest friends through KSI, and I don’t take that for granted. This place is something special. In the previous 12 Days of KSI, I was asked the same question about my favorite memory or moment, and my answer this year is essentially the same. There’s no one specific moment I can point to as a favorite. The late nights with friends when we laugh so hard we cry and can’t even form sentences anymore? I wouldn’t trade those nights for anything. We used to call those nights “KSI After Dark”, and that’s something I hope everyone gets to experience at some point during their time here – the pure, unadulterated fun of good friends just enjoying each other’s company.

On the ninth day of Christmas, KSI TillDeath said to me:
The KSI is the meaning of the word family. Everyone supports and takes care of each other. Talking to everyone every day and being part of KSI is the best memorable part of being in KSI.
KSI TillDeath, Paradox Officer
On the tenth day of Christmas, KSI Nismo said to me:
I’ve only been a part of KSI for less than a week but so far it’s been pretty cool talking to different people with different backgrounds. Not only it’s just a gaming channel, but it’s also a community where everyone respects each other so what it means to be a KSI member to me means a community you have with people all over the country/ world to talk to, hang out with, play with, talk with, pretty much to summarize a place you can hang out with and play with non toxic people. My favorite memory is meeting the few people I’ve been able to play with and talk to on VC this week. Another good memory is just hanging out playing CoD with the team in a chill environment

On the eleventh day of Christmas, KSI Kanna said to me:
For me, being a member of KSI means being a part of a community. Duh. But really, that’s what we have here.. “a feeling of fellowship with others…” This is honestly a place where you can feel “at home” when you’re online. There’s always somebody to talk to or somebody to game with. My favorite memory of KSI is honestly more like a feeling, the first time I felt like I was “at home” here, just hanging in a VC or Xbox party and feeling comfortable with the people I was with enough to just be myself. We don’t necessarily get that feeling every time we log on solo. But here we got each other’s backs. There are a lot of fakes out there, so it’s nice to be amongst some real ones. I’ve met some amazing people here that I’m proud to call my homies. For however long we’ve got, I’m happy that I’ve been able to be a part of KSI and call it home. Merry Christmas KSI!
KSI Kanna, Dreadnought Officer
On the twelfth day of Christmas, KSI Vixen said to me:
To be a KSI member can mean a lot of things. But mostly it’s a lot like a big online friend group. You get to meet so many people from everywhere with different personalities. You get to know people and some of them you get to call your friends. And my favorite memory would have to be one of the first drinking socials I held. So many people came out and everyone had so much fun. Everyone played games, laughed, and talked a lot. I think some of us didn’t get off til like 4 am
