History








1999

Counter-Strike is released.
In their enthusiasm Mephisto and Cerberus manage to entice a few colleagues to participate.
Gaming and having fun are the two keywords at the foundation of the 666-gamers.

Several years later, when more people want to participate, the idea to start a new clan manifests: the 666-gamers.
The logo for 666 is designed, a new set of clothes is made, and the clan starts getting more and more brand awareness.
Furcas joins the ranks and the foundation for the 666-clan has been laid. More and more people want to join the clan,
mostly due to the large variety of games being played.

Since the amount of members keeps increasing in a spectacular manner, the decision is made to rent a server for the first time.
In due time the 666-gamers controls 12 gameservers.

The two keywords that started it all are still strongly embedded: fun and gaming.
Due to personal reasons the activity in the 666-gamers slowly declines and in 2006, 666-gamers enters a Hibernation period.
People are still gaming under its name, but on an individual basis.

Three years later the 666 decides to end this hibernation period. A new age is dawning.
In January of 2011 the old logo gets a facelift and a new line of clan-clothing is designed.
This new line is worn for the first time at FoM 13.
Newer and bigger LAN-parties are now within reach.
Dreamhack Sweden, a bi-yearly LAN-party of approximately 18.000 gamers, is visited by the 666-gamers for the first time in 2012.
The clan hasn’t missed an edition since.

Everything starts happening quickly from this point onwards.
The 666-gamers brand awareness has increased many times over and because of the increasing promotional work, the first sponsors start showing an interest.
Due to a promotion deal with Alien Arena a stand is provided at the Dipro exhibition in Antwerp Expo, sponsored by Hyper X and Alien Arena.
Because of this, 666-gamers also manages to settle a deal to occupy a stand at FoM 16.1 to promote Alien Arena and give away prizes together with Mad Catz, Hyper X, Eizo, and Speed Seats.
This promotional work, together with a ton of effort, allows the 666-gamers to secure a large stand at the world famous F.A.C.T.S. exhibition to promote themselves.
The keywords fun and gaming are still the strongest connector between all the members of the 666-gamers.
Besides gaming tons of other activities are organized so that this bond can grow and remain strong, such as trips to Gamescom, local cinemas, bowling, and much more.
All in all, the 666-gamers is a clan in which friendship, fun, and gaming are paramount.
